I LOVE our Big family but it certainly can be chaotic sometimes!!!! Sunday was a wonderful day! The weather was gorgeous, Ray & I started the day out early and helped out at church with the free breakfast that was offered to the community and then had a wonderful time of worship and reflection on the true meaning of the day! Our Risen Lord! Then came home to spend the day with family! Sunday went by so fast and did the rest of the week! And now it is Wednesday!!!

Connie — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 01:09:43 +0000

Only one week left to Saleabrate!! But don't fret I still have a few opening in my classes this week and I will be placing orders and signing up new demonstrators until the very end!!!! So if you can join me for any of my classes this week, the dates and times are below just reply by sending me an email at cheisey@supernet. com. And remember NOW is the BEST time to join my team! The starter kit is on sale for $125 and you get to choose over $345 of product plus the kit is yours to do with what you want or nothing it is entirely up to you!

Also I wanted to share a few more of my crafty pics of the week . I tried to feature the beautiful designer series paper, Everyday Enchantment in the following projects. The designer series paper is a Saleabration freebie.

Plus I still have a few classes for March! Here are the dates and times!

Sunday March 25 @ 2 pm – Connie's Stamp Studio- Just Cards & Technique

Monday March 26 @ 10 am – Connie's Stamp Studio- Just Cards & Technique

Monday March 26 @ 7 pm – Hanover YWCA- Just Cards

Now for today's projects

This card was made using the Fresh Vintage Saleabration set. I used Very Vanilla, Poppy Parade, Lucky Limeade, Everyday Enchantment DSP. Matching Ink used was Poppy Parade and Lucky Limeade, Soft Suede, Plus the new Heart framelits for the Big shot was used!

This card was created by the AWESOME Mary Fish! I just love her work! She used the Elementary elegance Saleabration Set and Very Vanilla , Peach Parfait Cardstock and the Everyday Enchantment DSP. Plus she used the New Adorning Accents Framelits and the Designer Frames and Stripes Embossing Folders for the Big Shot. And she finished off the project with the new large pearls and some crochet ribbon! I LOVE IT!!!!

And I saved my very favorite for last! this gorgeous gift idea of an adorable basket and matching cards! I personally think that this is a GREAT idea for Mother's Day or End of the year Teacher's Gift or Secret Sister Gift. The card box was made using the Whisper White, Pool Party and the Everyday Enchantment DSP. The vintage wallpaper embossing folder for the Big Shot was used on both the box and the cards. As well as, the scallop circle dies. The blossom and eyelet border and lace ribbon border punch were used and then the cards and box were finished off with the Pool Party Ruffled Ribbon and White Satin Ribbon!!! And as an FYI, I will be adding a Big Shot Class to my monthly class schedule for the next quarter ( April- June), where we will be making fun projects like this one!!!!

Hope you enjoyed these ideas! Check back on Monday for some more of my Crafty Pics of the Day!

Time is Running Out

Connie — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 23:53:15 +0000

Time is running out, there are only 9 more days until the end of Saleabration. This is the biggest sales event that Stampin Up offers all year! But don't worry there is still time to attend one of my events or place your saleabration order! I am also going to be sharing several GREAT project ideas using the Sprinkled Expression Set from the Saleabration Catalog with you today!

This beautiful card was made by a dear friend of mine Lee Conrey. Lee used Whisper White & Wisteria Wonder Cardstock. Wisteria Wonder Ink and the polka dot folder for the Big Shot along with the designer paper from the Sweet Shoppe Suite and some white organdy ribbon and the saying in the set is my favorite!

Another simple but elegant card done with the same set. This time I used Whisper White and Blushing Bride cardstock , The Elegant Bouquet Folder for the Big Shot, Blushing Bride Pleated Ribbon and the flower punch from the Itty Bitty Trio along with some pearls. I think this card would make a gorgeous baby card!

This card uses brighter colors. I used Lucky Limeade, Blushing, Bride and Whisper White Cardstock along with a strip of Designer Series paper from the Twitterpated Collection. Rich Razelberry Ink and White Organza Ribbon along with the Extra Large Oval Punch

And last but not least I found this adorable stack of boxes on Stampin Connection. They were made using Bashful Blue, Real Red and Pretty In Pink Cardstock, Pretty In Pink Polka Dotted Ribbon and the cute fabric flower on top was made using the Candy Cane Fabric Collection using the Big Shot and a button from the Brights Collection and the tag was stamped with the cute saying from the set!

Hope you enjoy these projects!!! Check back soon!

More Fresh Vintage

Connie — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 03:42:22 +0000

What a busy day! But I am not closing the studio until I post and share a project with you! Wednesday's are usually my slower day but not today! I had some computer work to do and then Sam was less than cooperative with finishing his schoolwork! But I finally made it to Bible study and got renewed to finish the week! So here is another pretty card made using the Fresh Vintage SAB set! I love the color combo on this one as well! I love all Stampin' Up's colors and how they coordinate!

The supplies used on this project are Basic Black, Whisper White, and Melon Mambo Cardstock with Melon Mambo, Always Artichoke, and Basic Black ink and some White Bakers Twine! Very simple but very elegant!

Let's all I have for today!!! Check back tomorrow for another fun idea!

The much anticipated time of the year for Stampin' Up! demonstrators and customers is REALLY here!!!! And I am more than ever excited to share with you a few card projects made using the products and accessories from either the Occasions Mini or Saleabration catalogs! Plus a few pictures from my trip to Leadership last week in San Antonio, TX. The girls and I had an absolute AWESOME time! The weather was perfect and the surrounding just as perfect!

I have so much to share, so make sure to check here often and join me for some of my classes or host your own private class so you can get in on some of the fun!!!!

First of all, I wanted to share a few card ideas that I received as swaps at Leadership! I am so in LOVE with the Saleabration DSP plus the NEW Apothecary Art stamp set and matching Framelits I can hardly stand it. And then the Fresh Vintage SAB set is a keeper as well! So here are two ideas using both of there sets and then a few pictures of our sight-seeing ventures in San Antonio!

January Stamp Shoppe

Connie — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 19:33:20 +0000

Hope all of you had a relaxing and wonderful Christmas! I know that we did. Christmas Eve our home was filled with family. My mom, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, grandma, aunts, uncles, cousins & families all gather at my home for Christmas Eve. We had approximately 40 here and enjoyed the holiday festivities together. Then Christmas day is just my family ( Ray and the children) and we spent the whole day in pajamas watching movies, playing games and of course during our share of eating. What a wonderful way to Celebrate Jesus birthday!

Now that all the wonder and festivity of the Christmas season is over, our thoughts naturally turn to all that's ahead of us in the New Year. The girls & I will be travelling to San Antonio in January. I will be attending Stampin' Up's leadership conference and the girls will be doing some sight-seeing. I am looking forward to some warm weather in January and if I could pack you all in my suitcase and take you with me I would!

But, since I can't do that, I can still provide you with some great opportunities to stamp and play with me both in the Studio and out! I have lots of upcoming events to keep you stampin' and warm inside.

My stamp of the month is a fun way to add to your stamp collection and to also get some AWESOME card ideas each month without leaving the comfort of your home! Although I do look forward to seeing my customers each month. It is perfect for those of you who live too far away to join me for class, or your schedule might conflict with my class times! Each month you will receive the stamp set and 3 AWESOME full size cards made using the set! You can choose clear mount ( $27/month) or wood mount ( $30/month) and if for some reason you don't like the stamp set featured you can choose another set at the same value.
