Maple leaves...

“What is more Canadian than maple syrup?”

I mentioned in a previous post that when I travel internationally I always like to leave our stateroom host or housekeeping staff a little part of Canada. I made these quick and easy cards to leave with our maple syrup! I embossed the birch background stamp on shimmery white paper and cut out the maple leaf image from the Seasonal Layers framelits. The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set! I am actually quite excited to leave these gifts behind!

Join the Glitter Girls!

Honestly, when I signed up almost 14 years ago it was because I couldn’t stop buying stampin’ supplies! I was getting everyone together on a regular basis to stamp and eventually a friend of mine asked why I didn’t just become a demonstrator? Fast forward and here I am, still stampin’ and loving it! I enjoy the community of stamping, the fresh awesome products and who doesn’t like a discount? I would love to see some new faces on my Glitter Girls team! You can find more details and what we are about by visiting Become a Glitter Girl tab!

I also have a hostess code set up while I am away on the Greek Incentive Trip—-please use 3N9C6U7F so you can attend a free Holiday Sneak Peek class on Friday, July 19th!

The best way to get a bunch of stuff off of your ‘NEED” list is to join the Stampin’ Up! Family or maybe you want to join to make a little extra income for your family? The best part about Stampin’ Up! is you can do as much or as little as you like, you get to choose!

Blessed to Be Your Friend

I have been blessed beyond measure with the friends I have had in my life! I have always been what I like to call a ‘friend mixer’, creating the perfect cocktail of girlfriends. Whether it has been school friends, work friends. workout friends or stampin’ friends, I am my happiest when all of my friends mix and mingle, know and enjoy each others company. I talk about my different friend groups all the time and often try and have get togethers or invite girl friends to get to know each other. That is why the sentiment of this card really speaks to me. Today my husband and I are setting off on another amazing adventure curated by Stampin’ Up!. I would not be on a jet plane to Rome if it wasn’t for my amazing girl friends! They have supported me all along this stampin’ journey, even if they don’t stamp themselves they are always encouraging and commenting on my social media posts, buying cards from me or showing an active interest in what I am working on. My stampin’ girlfriends literally are the BEST. I think I have the BEST stampin’ girlfriends out there! Some have been stampin’ with me since I began this 14 years ago! So to you I say ευχαριστώ (ef-ha-ree-sto) which is THANK YOU in Greek! Love you! While I am away you can still shop my online store using the hostess code 3N9C6U7F and any orders placed by July 15th will earn you a free Holiday Catty Sneak Peek class on Friday, July 19th! You won’t want to miss it!

To a Wild Rose...I love you!

I have used the To a Wild Rose stamp set more than any other out of the new Idea Book and Catalogue! What stamp set have your been continually drawn to? I recently had a team meeting where we participated in catty cases so I reached for this awesome stamp set to make these three fabulous cards. I love how each one is unique and really showcases the versatility of this stamp set! I have used this set on scrapbook pages as well, I just cannot get enough of it!

You're The Best

My kids have officially wrapped up another school year (cue mom tears!). I really want to hit the pause button on life but as they like to remind me, they just can’t help growing up! This year I got Shepard and Summer on board to help make some cute and easy year end treats to give to their school friends. I know their classmates always enjoy getting a special treat from them as we do it every holiday (halloween, Christmas, valentine’s and easter!). I hope your kids had an awesome year at school and enjoy their summer holiday!
