This past Sunday I hosted an “Afternoon of Creativity” for my Stampin’ Up! team members. The focus of the day was to create with the Apron of Love stamp set and coordinating Framelits dies, as well as having a fun time. Everyone had so much fun stamping, creating and socializing. It’s always fun to get together with like-minded people to…
This is one of my most popular classes because it’s so much fun to make your own Valentine cards and treats.

Do you remember putting them in the specially decorated mailboxes or envelopes at everyone’s desks? Wondering if you are going to…
Super Bowl excitement is everywhere: the radio, tv, stores, those awesome ads, school spirit days, church and I could go on and on, especially if you live in the Philadelphia or Boston areas.

My 15 year old daughter is in the in-between stages of being sick. She’s not quite ready to go back to school (which she really likes), but bored from being home for 5 days.

Today we had snow and freezing rain and it looks like we will be getting some more snow on Wednesday. But, with stamps, you can make any day a summer day and this is what I did today. I had a few of my team members over for a Stamparatus show & tell and they each made this summer’s card. …

The pages are turning quickly on the calendar and December 25 is not so many pages away. Do you need a personal, homemade gift that is awesome and easy??

My brother’s birthday was last week and sometimes male cards can be a bit of a challenge. When we were kids (he’s 4 years younger than me) he loved to watch the popular 1970’s show Doctor Who. It scared me, but I still watched it because we were only allowed one show each a day and I wanted my tv…
