I had a request to make a “W” card with a video. So I picked out the Stampin’ Up
A Little Wild stamp set that has some images that play well together:)
A thank you to Jan Brown for her design of a “W” card. She is from the UK, not Australia:)
Here is a video of how I made my card using the Stampin’ Up A Little Wild, the Tropical Chic Stamp Set and the Tropical Escape Designer Series Paper.

I am heading to Charlotte this weekend for the Stampin’ Up On Stage Convention! As a demonstrator, I get to see the upcoming Annual catalog early
and see and play with new products. I will try to share some things if I can but usually we are limited so the big surprise comes later!
Remember April 15th:
Annual Catalog and Occasions Catalog Retiring List comes out so
be sure to check back here on Monday!
Stampin’ Up retires about 1/2 of the catalog to make room for new stuff!
Heads Up….the Stampin’ Up Trimmer is retiring…along with the accessories- blades etc.
Stampin’ Up will have a new cutter sometime this year. If you have a trimmer and want to get some replacement blades while they are in stock, email me to order some.
New Annual Catalogs Mailed out in May!
If you have ordered from me in the last 6 months,
you will automatically get one from me!
If your address has changed or you do not need one from me, email me with your update by April 30th.
If you would like to be on my customer list,
email me with your name and address.
My dear friend, Donna, went to be with the Lord in January. You can bet the pearly gates got even more bling when she got there! Donna adopted me into her family of 12 Stamping Sisters and More after I met her at one of my Stampin’ Up classes. The stamping sisters welcomed me as if I had been with them for the 20 years they have been together! A wonderful group of women who meet monthly to craft and share their lives. For the past five years I have been blessed to spend a week with them on a “crafting, eating, laughing, shopping” retreat each October. The ladies have been making a yearly scrapbook where each woman makes a page for each sister. This year, the focus is our relationship with Donna. A memorial service will be next month for this lovely woman who touched thousands of people in her life. We all are making an extra page to be put in a book for her husband. I am attaching a letter to Donna on the back.
I used the Dragonfly Dreams Stamp Set and the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits along with the Daisy Delight Stamp Set and Daisy Punch to make my page. Although, Donna called me Sweet Pea, I put a Sweet Bee on my page:) In the spirit of my friend, the bee was a glitter bee! This lady had rhinestones everywhere- on her glasses, her cane, her shoes, if you stopped moving, she would bling you up! Now, I am not a scrapbooker, I am a cardmaker who works on a canvas of 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ so making an 8″ x 8″ page was an accomplishment for me! My hat is off to you 12″ x 12″ scrapbookers! I mean, I hail you!
