Good Morning! I will be posting in about 2 hours as last evening my computer and I were not seeing "eye to eye" but after restarting and backing it up…..we look to be good to go!
I will post when I get back from from Boot Camp – ( I think John and I are crazy to do this 5:15 a.m. thing!!!!)
We have a winner for yesterday's Blog Candy and I will share with you the December Stamp of the Month Club!
See you in a bit…..
Now this IS a day of sales that I do enjoy! As I shared with you on Friday….I am not a fan of Black Friday (probably because I used to work at J Crew and I dreaded having to work those crazy hours!)…but today not only can we get great CYBER SAVINGS at all of our favorite stores….STAMPIN' UP! is having the CRAZY DOORBUSTER fun today as well as the extravaganza!
Before we get to the post….I do hope that you all take a big cup of coffee and read all of the WONDERFUL comments that were left on the Blog Candy Post I did yesterday (I was smiling from ear to ear with joy reading your memories) and the random winner is…….Dawn MacKay!!!
Is this the best comment or what! DARN….I love what I do! Dawn, your comment is sooo heartfelt and it came at a perfect time for me as today marks 4 years that I loss my fabulous Mom to cancer and I miss her so…
Way to go and I will send you this Bundle of Boxes (remember it is only in a BUNDLE TODAY and it is 30% off) after I order it today myself! Please email me your address!
So much going on…so much to share – let's just dive in! Besides the INCREDIBLE ONLINE EXTRAVAGANZA, I am offering you an incentive with an order of $35.00 (before shipping and taxes) that I will send you a pack of Stampin' Dimensionals with a really cute card of thanks!
Please use the hostess code of UAD6ZDV6 to hopefully get the JACKPOT of Hostess winnings!
My post yesterday showcased the "bundle of boxes" that is just on Super Sale today and WOW – this is a bundle that you will use all year long. I am thrilled that Stampin' Up! has focused on packaging as it make the gift complete! You betcha that I am going to order many of these….

This IS the best opportunity to get the collection of Blendabilities as it is always great to have the "whole spectrum" to be able to work with! Stampin' Up! has never offered these in a "lump collection" before so this makes it super special to get them at 30% off….

Until tomorrow!
Good Morning! When I see a "single focal" image like this Ornament…I simply smile! I think that simplicity of this makes it very classic! This was a stamp that I knew would make it to my home the minute I saw it in the Holiday Catalog! It is called Christmas Bauble.
You know that I adore single stamps…why???? Well, here you go….
This stamp was super fun to color with the Blendabilities…I am by far no expert on using these but I can honestly say that I adore them as they are just FUN!!! These are the 1st Alcohol Based Markers I have ever used and I knew when Stampin' Up! came out with them…they too would make it to my home!
I am sure that you can find endless videos and tips on how to use them and I have tried many different ways…the best way to me is to "just do it" and have fun along the learning curve of using them! The reason that they are so fun is that you can blend, there are "no lines" as to where you have started and stopped and the best thing…
On Monday (and Monday only) they are on a SUPER SALE…
I do not know about you…but when I see a "collection" of a product…like paper, markers etc…if I can, I always prefer to make the purchase to get the whole collection. This way I have the whole "kit & caboodle" and can get the feel and color that I want!
Let's get to the card!
That's it my friends…please pop back tomorrow as I am going to highlight the other DOOR BUSTER that is available ONLY on Monday (just like the blendabilities)….it's a keeper in my book and I adore that Stampin' Up! is not only offering it as a bundle…but it is also 30% off!!!
Lovin' having the PEEPS home….today is Gingerbread House time…a tradition!
Until tomorrow!
Woot-woot…it is Sunday and it is time for my "PEEPS" to go back to their nests – I will be thankful to get the call that they made it home safely! One thing that is great about having "Adult Peeps" is that they raid your refrigerator and you are "cleaned out" with the things John and I probably should not eat!
We have had a fabulous past couple of days and as much as I will miss them being home….going back to a schedule will be a joy! As I blogged on Friday, I have become not a fan of doing the crazy Black Friday craze….but I sure do like cyber Monday!
Let's get to today's post! I am SUPER happy that Stampin' Up! is "bundling" them up (Item # 140353) for just tomorrow and it will be at a 30% savings~
One thing that I will never forget that my Mom taught me and also I continue to share (or preach as the PEEPS say)…when you give a package…(no matter what the monetary value is) – always….ALWAYS make it special…and these (3) products will do this for you! Let's get going….
PLEASE REMEMBER to use the item code of #140353 to get the "bundle" discount but below I will showcase the items for you to see the quantities of each of the products!
Here are the trio's and I hope you enjoy how I have "jazzed" them up a bit – still so simple and classic!
I have blogged many times with these boxes…. and I am just doing the "Happy Dance" with them! Not only do they make fabulous "Advent Boxes"…they are great for Party favors, small gifts…notes of inspiration….just a fun box that can be decorated in many ways! They are called the Tiny Treat Boxes.
This is a great box that already has a "window in it" which makes it great to see thru! The are called the Decorative Window Gift Box and being the "type A" that I am….I did use the circle framelits in #'s 5 & 7 and cut a ring to cover up the decorative part ( you really do not need to do this)…..but I thought that the total look of this was great!
The stamp set I used was the Wonderous Wreath…and I highly recommend that you get this beauty as a bundle as it is GREAT that you have matching framelits to make cutting a breeze!
Last but not least….the "take out box" – this is a great box and soooo darn easy to jazz up! I used the sponge daubers in Old Olive and not only is it easy – it is FUN!
I do hope that you take advantage of this great deal tomorrow….(I sure am)….and do not forget about the Blendabilities! This is a special deal as it is great that they are not only bundling them….but they will be 30% off! That deserves a huge woot-woot!
WOULD YOU LIKE TO WIN THIS BUNDLE????? In the season of Thanksgiving…I would like to give someone this! Just leave me a comment and let me know what your favorite childhood memory "gift" was…and I will pick (1) person and let you know tomorrow!
I love to read your comments and I know that others do as well! Let's have fun going down "Memory Lane" and I deeply thank you for popping by!
Until tomorrow…..it will be super – duper exciting!
P.S – I am sorry if you have received this post twice – I am not sure what happened but hopefully tomorrow…a.new week…no hiccups!
Hello my cyber friends…WOWZERS – I feel like I have been on a "treadmill" that has not stopped! It has been a WONDERFUL treadmill and I have soooooo much to share with you about the "furry friend" aka "no name"….but that will have to be for another post….
I know…I know – many of you are wondering what it is etc….but I will say – it was an experience that John and I have never had with an animal but "all is good" – I think that the "GREEN" light will be on but we need to think of a name……
We had a wonderful day yesterday and I will say that I did not open my computer once…and we had a FABULOUS day being at home….lots of great food, laughter, fun…..just perfect!
Today I am going to share with you a BUNCH of pictures that hopefully will make this card "make sense" to you that I blogged about on Monday! Please click here to see that post and you will see that for today's instructions, I change up the colors!
I do hope that this helps and you have fun….please do not hesitate to email me if you need further help! Darn, wouldn't it just be easier for me to do videos – now that the "PEEPS" are home…..maybe they will help their dear old Mom! I just need to take the plunge!
The card is an A-2 vertical card and then this part is the "top" part! Again, please refer to the Blog Posting I did on Monday!
A great card to have fun with colors and a great way to use up scraps! I used the Designer Series Paper Stack in Garden Green for this sample!
You have hear me say this sooooo many times – if you have the basics and "time savers" it makes card making so much more fun! Necessities are to have glue dots, stampin' dimensionals, green glue and sticky strip!
Sorry the pictures are not the best – I use one of my "PEEPS" room to take pictures and they were sleeping in…it is wonderful to have them home!
I wanted to touch on the "below picture" – I also carried the bakers twine across the front of the card and I used a thin bead of the green glue to adhere it. Just a little added touch that I think makes it fun!
Well I hope that this helped you! I really do like this card and I think that I might try it with Baked Brown Sugar and then use Cherry Cobbler and also some in Always Artichoke for the ornaments!
Well I must say, it is WONDERFUL to be at home and enjoying the simplicity of enjoying and embracing the Holiday! I am not one to deal with the MASSIVE CROWDS as that totally stresses me and take the fun out of the real reason for the season!
Please remember to use the hostess code of…
UAD6ZDV6
and one lucky person will be able to win a bunch of "hostess dollars" – The ONLINE EXTRAVAGANZA is just the best….and it is a great opportunity to get great Stampin' Up! products as a huge saving!
Enjoy the day, thanks for popping in and I hope that the tips help you! Please know that I am so very thankful and blessed to have you be a part of my "happiness with Stampin' Up!"….I still "pinch" myself that I blog…I would have never imagine that I would do this!
I found this clip art and LOVED IT – how would you answer it!
Until tomorrow….stampin' hugs!
