It’s the day we have all be anticipating, the new catalog is LIVE! Be sure to take advantage of your favorite items on day one! Here’s a project I made, isn’t this little box cute? It’s sturdy cardbaord with scalloped edges on the lid, and there are gold foil dots embedded in it. You can see the link below for the products. I made these little 3″x3″ note cards and envelopes that fit nicely inside the box. I have a video to help you create these at the bottom of my post.

We have voluntary monthly meetings on my team. I wanted to share what we did at or team meeting last night, to share the fun we have!
We create Paper Samplers and Color Swatches at the start of each new catalog launch so we can have tools to use all year long! I can’t tell you how much I use these tools! It’s so nice to have these at my fingretips so I don’t have to pull out all my Designer Series paper and card stock to try different colors together.
This is a HUGE job and this year we did part of it as a group! This is no easy task, and this year my team went to bat and helped with these! We had a big assembly line going around 2 rooms in my house with all the punched circles in the cups. For those on my team who aren’t local, we made kits for them and then they can adhere all of these to the card stock when they receive them. Our team PLAYS AND WORKS together! If you are out of town, you still get in on the fun! We do Facebook Live so you can be at the voluntary meetings we have! And kits are available each month for our Make and Takes!
Here’s a video of the projects made today, and supplies used! ENJOY!
One of the events I LOVE hosting is my team and demonstrator event called weSTAGE! We had so much fun at this all-day event! There were demonstrations, LOTS of make and takes, treats, catered lunch (by one of my downline, Donna Gagnon!) prizes, swaps, display boards, and lots of laughs as well!
One of my downline and friend, Kim Sinclair, flew in for this event (PLUS she has family and friends here as well). She did an amazing demonstration using the new Country Club Suite that can be found in the Spring Catalog. This presentation for this suite had PERFECT timing because the Phoenix Open was going on this week here, as well! What a great suite Stampin’ Up came out with, designed for us Arizonians!!! LOL
Kim’s FB page with over the top stamping projects can be found HERE.
These projects were SO MUCH FUN and even the non-golfers enjoyed them because they will be fun to make for the golfers in their life! We were blessed to see all these amazing projects designed by Kim! THANK YOU SO MUCH KIM!
Here is some behind the scenes with the assembly going on!
We love to swap at these events – what a cute display board Becca Matlock made for this event!
The winning swap card was made by Laurie Rigo, isn’t it beautiful! There is a surprise inside with a cute accordian fold out. Over the top! Way to go Laurie!
We had our team party this week – this is always a highlight for me each year!
We had a shoebox swap, and then a “my favorite things” gift exchange. We all brought a gift that was something that was our “favorite”, and wrap it creatively. Here is my gift, and if you know me, you know I like to decorate each season with legs sticking out of things. LOL
Here is the team photo of those who were able to attend, I LOVE these gals so much!
Rose Hanford won the swap, look at her cute Valentine’s Day card. There is a real feather in the lure.
Lots of STEALING of gifts happened this evening!
Gina Shappa made this adorable red pick up truck out of card stock, and the box in the back had a Starbucks gift card! SO FUN!!!!!
I love our team get togethers, because we make fun projects like this! Last month we made Christmas tags at our get together. Even those who can’t attend in person can get a kit of the projects we make!
The last photo is a plastic stamp case that we decorated to put all our tags in.

Here’s another project from my weSTAMP Regional event last month. I love this suite, the colors are so bright and cheery! Look at all the dies that are included with this bundle, 14 of them! There are so many candy pieces, it only takes one crank of the Big Shot to get many pieces!
I used a Versa Mark pad and Black Embossing Powder on the Silver Foil Cardstock. It shows up much better using that ink and powder.
I love hosting team events! Can’t wait for this to happen! Here are some photos of last years event!
My team gets together monthly – but if you don’t live in AZ, no worries! We do a FaceTime Live each month, so you can get in on all the fun and happenings!

The hearts are just cardstock die cut using Sweet & Sassy Framelits and randomly adhered to card front!
Donna Gagnon is a magician in the kitchen! Talk about a gifted gal! She put on an amazing spread of food – all coordinating with our picnic theme, of course!
I found the little ants from a company in China, but you can also find them on Amazon. They are so cute to coordinate with food! There is a skewer on the ant’s back to put food on.
Rose Hanford made these cute little ladybugs with veggies!
Linda Rodenbergy made these adorable ant cupcakes. They were almost too cute to eat!!!
I LOVE MY TEAM!!!!!

When I do overnight retreats, you can bank on receiving earplugs on the first night as your pillow gift….. JUST IN CASE! LOL Here is a SNORE-kel themed gift to go along with our “Summer Fun” theme for the weekend.
We also gave some chocolate for those late night projects!
So this happened this past weekend! I LOVE spending time with my team!
I hosted a weRETREAT in Flagstaff with these beautiful ladies! The theme of the retreat was SUMMER FUN!
Here are some photos from our beach party on Saturday night!
The pillow gift went along with our beach party theme. These little beach bags are only 2″ tall! I found the beach bag idea from Sandi MacIver and you can view her easy to follow video HERE. However, my card stock was 3″ x 5 1/2″ and I didn’t fold the top edge over like she did in the video.
I hand drew the sunglasses and flip flops, and used my Silhouette machine to cut them out. The towel is a small piece of terry cloth. The “Occasions” catalog is wrapped around a Ghirardelli chocolate candy.
Here’s a photo of my roommates and I with the infamous face coasters and glasses. I found the face coasters HERE and the glasses HERE (on Amazon). These props can really add some fun to your party!
I have a rustic wood planter box that I purchased on Etsy. I like to decorate this with holiday things each season. I knew this little gem would be perfect for our Sundae Bar! We had plenty of fixings for a yummy beach party desert!
I am trying to learn the art of cookie decorating – decorating cookies is harder than it looks!!!! Here’s my feeble attempt at ice cream cone cookies.More photos coming soon!

I will give you a sneak preview of one of my make and takes for the weekend! Hopefully my team won’t see this! SUPER SIMPLE card using one of my favorite suites in the spring catalog – COOL TREATS SUITE! The banner is made with Washi Tape!

Sweet Becky Roberts made this Grinch themed gift for me, isn’t it adorable! Look at that packaging!!! I LOVE the towels, I will always remember our event when I use these!!! THANKS BECKY!!!! She also gave me the CUTEST little Grinch nugget holder, it’s so tiny! I love mini anything! LOL
This was our make and take for our event. Becky designed it – the unique thing about this card is you can pop the Grinch out and he can stand alone!
The next presenter was the super talented Jeanette Weeks! Jeanette chose “A Nice Cuppa” to center her projects around. I love her lattic back drop, as well! It’s so nice and springy looking and it displays her projects beautifully!Many of her cards are interactive! THANKS JEANETTE for all the time you put into these projects!
Here is one of the projects we made – it’s a gift box filled with Tea K-Cups! I just love that stamp set and framelits! The Designer Series Paper goes so well with this set, and the colors are some of my favorites!
