This banner was made by my very talented sideline Angela Cleveland for our openhouse last week . Isnt' she talented? I just love it! She used the banner die and the pocket fold die and the new heart sizzlet die. See what fun things you can make with our bigshot?? Every paper crafter and quilter NEEDS one! Did you know you can cut 8 layers of fabric at once?? For all my quilter friends out there... I have lots of ideas to share with you! Call me, I can't wait to share!

Happy Anniversary to our daughter and son in law. Its hard to see one of the birds, but I used my new punch to punch them out of the new designer seriers paper that will be out on Monday! (today if I have done this correctly). This was a really easy card to do... very little stamping, and poof, instant card! I trust you all had a very merry Christmas and happy New Year~! next week I go to my first Leadership confrence... for Stampin Up, and I am very excited! I'll be back with some of the goodies we make.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

I have been wanting to make time to make a magic card, and finally took the time to make one! Extremly easy! This is for our Granddaughters first Christmas.

I used Real Red Cardstock, Whisper white cardstock and Jolliest time of the year stamp set.. all from StampinUp!

I got the idea from my up up line Julie Davison. Her blog is http://juliedavison.blogspot.com/ She is one talented upline and I am so lucky to be part of her team. Her mom is my upline and now I know where Julies talent comes from!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Don't forget to check out the great specials Stampin Up! is having this week only, as well as some great close out specials... www.barbhopper.stampinup.net

I know this is a non current stamp, but I couldn't resist making this for the gentleman who kept our lawn mowed this summer! It was fun going thru my "non current stuff" and putting it to good use... for personal stuff. It helped me remember why I became a demo in the first place.

Our last Christmas card stamp a stack, to be held this Friday.I have the greatest upline, Susan La-Croix. I am proud to be on of "Susans Sparklers". She has a large stamping area, and we hold joint events in her 'studio". My Sideline Angela, Susan and myself, designed these cards. The bottom card was inspired by a swap Susan recieved at regionals in Ohio this past Sept. Immagine my surprize this morning when I logged into Demo support and found that this card was beign demonstarted by some one in the head office!! .. well not this card , but the orginal !
These cards will be fun and easy to make... We still have a few open spots.. call me to reserve yours today!

I had to make a sympathy card for some friends... I hate it when this happens.. I must have stared at my stamps for 15 minutes before I could even think of what I wanted... then I remembered this set, and it fit the occasion perfectly.
On a happier note, I just returned from regionals in Cincinati Ohio and got some wonderful ideas and learned some new techniques! I hope to be sharing them soon! I even got to speak with Shelly and have my picture taken with her. She is so nice and REAL! I got to meet some of the "Utah People from Stampin Up" and it was quite refreshing.. they really do care for each and every demo, no matter where you are in the scheme of things, and they really listen!
I will try to update more often... does life ever really slow down??
