April Stamp Camp Recap




WOW! I can't believe how fast this Stamp Camp went. It was so much fun seeing everyone that came and I missed those that weren't able to make it. We even had some new friends join us. This camp had a few of the new changes. First, we had Meghan stationed at the Big Shot. This proved to be invaluable as she could offer immediate advice as I covered the other three stations. We also had our first card swap (photo above). I so enjoyed holding the artwork of my fellow stampers. I tell you no one appreciates more the work that goes into a card than another stamper. There were more people that watched the process and are now excited to join the next one. Yes, there is another swap coming up. This one is freestyle. Create your card the way you want with no limitations!! I hope that you enjoyed yourself if you came. If you didn't come, you were missed. I hope that those of you who purchased your kits are enjoying them. Let me know if you have any questions.

Stampin' with my Sistah!


I love my sister! Not that we don't all love our siblings, but when you have 5 brothers between the two of you there is something special that happens. I have had the blessing of seeing her grow up, from little girl to adult that she is today. There are 15 years between us which had given way to me not always being able to be a part of her life. The age span has been a challenge to find common things to do together. The brothers have their own little group that we don't get to be a part of, so we have had to band and form our own. She got me hooked on MAC...my pocketbook has never forgiven her. I am breaking her into the world of stamping and paper art. We just recently had a little time together to whip up a card that she loved and I actually had all the supplies to create. So, to the little girl that cried at my wedding and coined the phrase "How Rude" before it was popular.....I love you!!

Are you ready for some Stamp Camp changes?



It is almost Stamp Camp time again and I have some new changes for you. Are you ready????

First change! We now have a Kit Purchase Option! If you cannot make it to Stamp Camp but you really want to have those cute projects, you now have an opportunity to purchase a kit and have the supplies dropped off at your door! Everything that you would've received at the Camp will be delivered, along with directions and a photo of each project. Images will be stamped for you unless you request otherwise. The kits are available for a purchase price of $10 unassembled/$15 assembled. Now you can stay caught up with what we are doing. All you will need is your adhesive!! Just give me call or drop an email to save your kit!!

Second Change!! We are now adding a swap opportunity! Every Camp at 8pm, we will be swapping cards. This Stamp Camp is a birthday card themed swap! Create a birthday card that you love, make 10 of them total and bring them with you to swap. The only requirement is that you use mostly Stampin' Up! product. As this is the first swap, we may make a few changes as we go. Feel free to give me your input and ideas!! This is not a mandatory swap; just for those that want to participate.

I can't wait to see everyone at Stamp Camp on the 17th!!
