I already mailed two of today’s cards out to friends who had December birthdays – I have to be totally honest here and admit I mailed them as belated birthday cards. But, what a surprise they got when they saw new products on their birthday cards (they are both Stampin’ Up! demonstrators).Yesterday I posted cards using the new chalk ink. This…
I am thrilled to be using new products! This next one is brand new to me and highly recommended by a fellow demonstrator friend, Teresa.Stampin’ Up! has partnered with ColorBox and created “Chalk Ink Pads” and special Chalkboard Paper! Doesn’t it look like a real chalkboard??? I used two of the three chalk colors here. The background image is in…

You too can be as just…

This photo made me so happy because she was using products she just ordered at her neighbors workshop two weeks ago. Look how happy she is in the second photo! I can’t tell you how many people who…
Sometimes we use a favorite ink pad so much that we need to add some ink back into it. I noticed that my Coastal Cabana ink has been looking a little on the light side. It’s one of my fave fave favorites (as my 6 year old niece would say). Rather than just ink it and be on my way,…
