February 18, 2012: Elin's Elegant Designs Marker Club

OK - FINALLY got all the deets hashed out for my very first Elin's Elegant Designs Marker Club. I'm super excited about this one. :D It's such a great deal!! If your wishlist includes all 38 of Stampin' Up!'s amazing Stampin' Write Markers, I know you will agree. The club has a four month commitment. Each month you will receive one family of Stampin' Up!'s Stampin' Write Markers - Regals, Subtles, Neutrals or Brights and a coordinating cardstock pack. Plus, when it is your hostess month you will also receive the storage tote to hold all your markers as shown above, a Color Spritzer Tool to use with your markers, AND $25 in hostess dollars to spend on anything you choose in the catalog! You may also order additional items or collect extra orders from your friends and family to earn extra hostess dollars if you wish. There is a $45 a month commitment for this club, which includes local delivery. Let me know if you would like to join this club - I need three more ladies for my first club, and I will open an additional group if there is enough interest. :)

February 16, 2012: My Valentines


This was the little mini card I whipped up for the girl's at work. Isn't it cute? the stamp is retired - Punch Potpourri (and yes, thank goodness for spell checker, because I always miss-spell that one!) - but I kept it around because I've always loved it. I'm such a heart girl anyway. :) Spray painted hearts on my car once, in high school - oh, yeah...Dad was thrilled. Good times. :D

I'm working on a whole new lineup of fun classes for this summer as well as a couple clubs that I am SUPER excited about - look for an announcement before the weekend. I took a couple days vacation from my day job to get some of this stuff out of my brain, off my desk and out into the world. :)

I'm also going to post another one of my downline Lorie's cards tomorrow - she is so special and I am so proud of her. :)

Check back soon!

February 15, 2012: Clean & Simple Sympathy Card


As I know I've shared before, I struggle a lot with sympathy cards. I never seem to know how to strike the right note, but I usually find that simple, elegant cards are best. You want the recipient to know that you care, but I don't want to card to seem frivolous or trite. And not cheap or tacky - never that!

Still, it's very hard to hit the right balance of simple and elegant. I chose to reuse one of the Valentines from my class this past month (THIS one) to make this sympathy card. It took me about four tries for this one - I hope I hit the mark. :)

Isn't this an adorable card? I found it on my Stampin' Up! website - clearly, I really should visit my own website more often - there are some really cute projects on there! ;-D Click on the photo for more details. And, of course, the Triple Treat Flower is a free option with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration now. Can't beat that!
