Crab Apple Demands Attention!

Oh yes, it's been that kind of a day!  As many of you know, I watch my youngest grandson during the week while Mom and Dad both work.  Mom dropped him off this morning and warned me that he was not having a good day.  She was so right.  He went down for more sleep when he got here but when he woke up, the drama began.  Needless to say I've not had a chance to do anything I had planned for today.  I'm so glad it is Friday and I have two days without my little power house.  I have lots of projects started so will have lots to share next week.  Here's a picture in honor of my one little crab apple.

Elementary Elegance Happy Birthday

This card was made using My Digital Studio.  All I need to do now is make it out of stamps and card stock and it makes a perfect addition to the All Occasions Card Class this Saturday.

Stamp Set:  Elementary Elegance (SAB); Ink:  Rich Razzleberry; Card Stock:  Sweet Details Designer Series Paper, Wisteria Wonder, Almost Amethyst, Pale Plum; Accessories & Tools:  Everyday Enchantment Brads (SAB), Perfect Plum 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon, Daisy Punch

Several of the items I used are retired out of the Annual Catalog but the great thing is, you can still find them in My Digital Studio.  I like that.  It gives me a chance to use colors I like that weren't available after I became a Demonstrator.

For the class, I'm thinking I'll add some rhinestones to the butterfly to sparkle it up.  Since some of the colors I used are retired, I'll be picking different colors for most of the card.  Okay, I'm off to make this card.  I'll be sure to post it here when I'm done so you can see the difference.

Don't forget that Sale-A-Bration ends March 31st.  Some of the products I used are only available during Sale-A-Bration.  Oh, and you can get the One Big Sale-A-Bration CD in digital format free when you place a $50 order.  It includes all the new, exclusive Sale-A-Bration products!.  To order yours today, click on the coffee pot on the upper left.

And, as always, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Until we meet again...

The Three Things I Love Most About Being A Stamping Business Owner

It would be so easy to keep you here all day talking about the many reasons I love being a stamping business owner.  But, I'll rein in my enthusiasm and just give you the three big ones.

1.  I love being my own boss.  I get to set my own hours.  I get to work when I want, which tends to be most of the time, but I know that should the need arise, I can be very flexible.

2.  I love being a Creative Coach.  I love helping others explore their own creativity.  There is great satisfaction and seeing someone's face light up when they realize they have made a beautiful card.

3.  I love the freedom of spending more time with my family.  Being an Independent Stampin' Up!® Demonstrator gives me the opportunity to work around my family's schedules.  I love being able to spend time with my grandchildren.

If you'd like to be your own boss and enjoy all these perks and more, contact me and let me show you how.  It's your first step to becoming a stamping business owner.

Nature's Nest Dragonfly

Wow!  Time flies when you are having fun!  I have a full schedule today and should have been paying closer attention to the clock.  Instead, I've been designing and making new cards.  Now I need to scramble to be ready in time to meet my number two son, Matthew, for a movie date.

Stamps: Nature's Nest, Swirls & Curls Verses (retired); Ink:  Soft Suede, Stampin' Write Markers in Soft Suede, So Saffron; Card Stock:  Very Vanilla, Soft Suede; Accessories:  Smooch Spritz Vanilla Shimmer, Jewels Basic Rhinestones, Stampin' Dimensionals

And, there you have it.  I'm keeping this one short and sweet.  After all, it is the weekend and you're not supposed to have to work, right?  It's hard not to work given my "work" is fun and relaxing and creative.  Wouldn't you like work like mine?  Contact me either by e-mail or phone and ask me how that can be.

Elegant Thank You

With the busyness of the season, I've not had much time to sit down and create much other than gifts for family and friends.  But, now that Christmas is just a couple of weeks away, it has me thinking of all those thank you cards that will need to be sent to those who bless us with a gift.  The card I'm sharing with you today, is a clean and simple one.  Sometimes less is more.

Stamp Set:  Elegant Thank You; Ink:  Cherry Cobbler; Card Stock:   Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White, DSP (uncertain); Accessories:  Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch

One of the perks of being a Stampin' Up!® Demonstrator, is I've had the chance to see the new Occasions Mini Catalog and the new Sale-A-Bration Catalog.  My order from both comes tomorrow and I can't wait to show you what I create.  So, stay tuned for a preview of things to come.

I'm So Excited!

Over the long holiday weekend, a friend and I have been working together to get my office/craft area organized.  It's been great!  Everything that has just been lying around now has its place and I feel so much better.  I have never enjoyed clutter and lately, I was feeling very cluttered up.  While the organizing continues today, the end result is within sight and that makes me so very happy.  Creating, classes and all the other events at the Coffee Pot Stamping Cafe are going to be so much easier.

With the organization process, I've not spent a lot of time creating.  The card I'm sharing with you today is the very first card I ever made.  It's what started me down the Stampin' Up!® path.  There was no turning back!  I love stamping!

Stamp Sets:  Lovely As A Tree, Inspired by Nature; Inks:  Uncertain (but will find out and add); Card Stock:  Soft Suede, Whisper White, Glossy White; Accessories: Modern Label Punch, Brayer

The card was made back in October 2010.  I can't figure out the color of ink but will ask my Upline, since she is the Demonstrator who presented the Workshop I attended, and I'll add it when I know.

It was just two weeks later, at the end of November 2010 that I signed up as a Stampin' Up!® Demonstrator.  Click HERE to join my team and let the fun begin with your own business and sharing your passion for stamping and scrapbooking.

A Rare Evening Off

It was pizza and movie night here at the Cafe.  A friend and I watched the movie Secretariat.  It's a good movie and I would recommend it to anyone.  I try to watch the three big horse races each year and I actually remember the race when Secretariat was the 1973 Triple Crown winner.

Tomorrow it's back to business.  My new Holiday Mini products arrived yesterday and I've not had a chance to play with them.  I have this design dancing around in my head, so it's time to see what it looks like on paper.  I'll be sure to share it with you once it's complete.

My question for you tonight is, would you like to know more about becoming a Stampin' Up!® Demonstrator?  I would love to share the opportunity with you.  Leave a comment here or e-mail me at marsha@coffeepotstampingcafe.com if you have any questions.
