Big Shot on a Budget!

If you like the Sizzix Big Shot but find it's a stretch on your budget I have a deal for you! I will offer the starter kit ($195.95) on a payment plan (payments must be cash or check) stretching over four months, basically a layaway plan. At the time of your final payment I will order the starter kit for you and even show you how to use it. You would also receive hostess benefits on your order which amount to at least $15 in free Stampin' Up! merchadise and a Level 1 hostess gift! You could get another die or some texture plates with your free merchandise!

The starter kit includes: Big Shot die cutting machine, standard cutting pads, multi-purpose platform, 2 Stampin Up! exclusive Bigz dies--Scallop Envelope and Top Note, exclusive Sizzlets 4 pack dies--Birds and Blooms, decorative strip die--Billboard Alphabet, decorative strip cutting pads, and extended spacer platform.

In addition, I will teach you all I know about it and show you some really great projects to make. One more thing: the first person to take me up on this offer will get the 'Join the Cheer' decorative strip in addition to what comes with the starter kit.

Thursday Night Card Class

This is my Thursday night card class based mostly on new products. We made four cards but I am only showing the two most photogenic!

Beautiful Swap Card

I received this swap card at last week's meeting and it's so pretty I have to share. My friend and fellow demonstrator Kathy Milano made this one. It looks even better in person. She used the 'Thoughts and Prayers' stamp set.

My Hideaway

This is (part of) my stamping room. The first picture is of my desk and the second is of the back of the door showing how my punches are stored. I used to be very neat and organized but over the years have become a little more messy. This is why there isn't a picture of the area where my stamps are stored or where my other desk is :). The room is the smallest bedroom in our home and I have really outgrown it.

New Designer Series Paper "Good Morning Sunshine"

This card uses the 'Good Morning Sunshine' paper. This stamp set is called 'Cheers to You.' This was my shot at making a masculine card without buying any new masculine stamp sets. Beer is pretty manly don't you think?

This card also uses the 'Good Morning Sunshine' paper which compliments several of the new retro style stamp sets and is very bright and cheery. The stamp set used here is 'Man's Best Friend.'

I'm in!

Well it took me long enough but I have decided to get on the blog bandwagon. This blog will be mostly about stamping 'stuff.' I plan to post photos, projects, and product reviews. Right now I need Brett to help me set this thing up! Once I get the idea I will put some 'stuff' up!
