I was playing around with the items in the World spectacular product suite and came up with a few birthday cards. The stamp set is You're Amazing, found in the current catalog and I've been going to that set lately for a bunch of different things! I found some similar ideas and decided to stamp a few with CASEd ideas already in mind. I haven't been able to stamp too much as of late so this was a real treat! Thanks for stopping by! Sarah<br />

It's time to freshen up! Stampin' Up! is having a color make over and I think you will be pleased with the results! As you look at the list above, you will see plenty of familiar colors, and a new color, smoky slate. I am very excited about these new addtions and am thrilled to see Crushed Curry again! Of course, when new colors arrive, a few must go. Click <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/us/documents/Color_Refresh_flyer_NA.pdf">here</a> for a list of those colors. Plenty of more information to come! Sarah<br />

Stampin' Up! has searched long and hard for just the right material to be able to introduce completely clear stamping. And they have found it. We are super excited to announce that we now have wood-mount, clear-mount AND photopolymer stamps! The new photopolymer will be an addition to our stamp line and will appeal to all types of stampers. Our top-quality photopolymer has just enough give to create a perfectly stamped image every time and with the introduction of our firm-foam pads, let's just say they're meant for each other! Photopolymer stamps will also be unique, fun designs that will inspire you and provide more versatile options you may not see in our traditional wood- and clear-mount stamp options. <br />
What makes them so great? <br />
They're entirely transparent for perfect placement every time! <br />
They are durable. The photopolymer material is designed to last. <br />
Can you say sticky? These stamps stick amazingly well to our clear blocks. <br />
They're age tested. They won't yellow or cloud up over time. <br />
<br />

Hello everyone! Here is an attempt at Spring. I don't mind this weather all that much since it makes the school year go by faster and it's always a great time to bake and stamp, which I haven't done in months! Although I stamped a few things for my downline today on the big snow day! The pictures above are a few shots taken from convention 2011. I was cruising through a few of my SD cards for some inspiration (actually I was trying to find that one picture on a memory card of 3567 photos, but found it)! So, I came across a few of these, and thought I would share. I could use another snow day and make it a stamp day! Thanks for the visit! Sarah</div>

Carmen and I are hanging out after a very eventful day. We are drinking some pumpkin juice, enjoying some chocolate and watching some football. Carmen is letting me get my sport fix for a few minutes, hee hee. As you can see we are having a great time! Plenty of great ideas all around. We noticed the Stampin' Up! Semi on the way to our hotel today, isn't it great? NOTE: Obviously, it is not January. I found this post and archived it, oops! Well I have dug out from winter now and thought I would dust off the blog for a bit. We'll see where it goes from here! Sarah</div>

What a great day! Leadership was full of excitement with announcements galore! Everything from a Dude set to Paper Pumpkin! My goodness! Above, you will see a picture of the stage. It was very beautiful and Shelliesque. Carmen is pictured with the new Paper Pumpkin kits, the "try it" kit and the "welcome kit." Those kits are going to be a hit. Bonnie Thurber introduced this new product and she was so fired up about it. I'm excited to bring it home and share with all of the sistas! Classes were great and our organized swap was a hit as well! Enjoy my flower obsession photo! Sarah</div>

We had a super opportunity yesterday as we packed bags and bags of product! These sacks of product will be dontated to teachers in schools around the central Florida area. Demonstrators stuffed plenty of bags today and we had a great time doing it! We were able to write a quick note on the tag of each bag we packed. I loved that!

One of the highlights of the day was our time spent at managers reception. I met Marti there and we hung out at the event together. We had a great time riding on rollercoasters and simulations rides in the Harry Potter themed park. That simulation ride was amazing! We were spoiled the entire evening with great food, some fun drinks (I brought some pumpkin juice back for Carmen, great bottle souvenir) and plenty of awesome stamping friends. It was great to get to know Marti as we cruised around the park. Thanks to Stampin' Up for this great experience. Sarah</div>

Hello everyone! I am back! The pictures above are from Leadership 2013! We arrived today and are having a great time! We walked all over the city in 80 degree weather which was awesome! We went through the convention center, which is huge, and checked things out. We ran into Shelli (but kept our cool). We walked 5 miles and we could be tour guides, kid you not! Tonight was low key as I played with my new camera. Carmen and I went down memory lane as the last time we were here (in 2004) was Angie's first convention. Boy has it changed! It also dawned on me that this (bottom picture) area was where the flower photo obsession began! My first flower photos were right here! Too funny! It is so great to bring up the blog again. It's been too long. Tomorrow we begin in the morning but the main event is at noon. So we may not blog until later in the evening. We have swaps to get done too, shocker! Check back often! Great to be back! Sarah</div>

Sista Kristine is celebrating eight years as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator today! I can hardly believe that! She is pictured above on the left. Notice her summer starfruit bag? She is an awesome demonstrator, sister, sista and friend. She has had some awesome workshops as of late and she has given me a bunch of Halloween cards to share with all of you! Congratulations to her and we are thrilled that she is in our group! She has been very dedicated considering she is a few hours away from our group, but she keeps that inspiration going in all of us! Yeah for you, Kristine!

When the calendar turns to September, it is all about Fall decorating at our house. It is heart of my busiest time of year, but I love everything about it! Sista Kristine and I have been stamping this weekend and she created this awesome 3x3 love note for Halloween. It's adorable! Check it out in the new Holiday Mini Catalog. There is a link to the right. You will find all sorts of awesome products in this Howlstooth and Scaringbone Suite! Thanks, Kristine!

Many of you have found lots of different ways to use your Stampin' Up! punches to make beautiful cards or scrapbook pages. In this video, Shannon West will share a great technique using the Lace Border Punch. Enjoy! Happy Labor Day Weekend!

This product suite has been a hit with my customers this year. This simple card took not time at all as the old olive and tangerine tango came together in a snap. See page 81 of the new Stampin' Up! catalog and you will see more than just stamps... there is even matching fabric! (This is a bit of foreshadowing since I have been using fabric quite a bit lately, stay tuned for that). Enjoy!

This is one of my all time favorite stamp sets, Field Flowers (122760). I squealed when I saw this card in blue. What makes this card so unique is the DSP behind the flowers called First Edition (121878). It's a very versatile DSP that you may not notice or think to use on your projects. It's one DSP that has stood the test of time as this is it's third catalog appearance. If you would like to order a package for yourself, contact me today!

Congratulations to sista Angie, celebrating nine years with Stampin' Up! today. So exciting! Angie is a very creative stamper and we are very lucky to have her in our group. She is at convention here in 2011 pointing to one of her many creations that have made the display boards over the years. Yep, she's a rock star! Congratulations, Angie and thanks for your creative inspiration and friendship!

The stamp set, Stippled Rose (126745) reminds me of the Cottage Rose, a stamp set from long ago. Aren't these cards awesome? The main color here is the in In Color, primrose petals, a new fave of mine. I love the new ribbon as well. I love it when everything matches! You may have also noticed that both cards above were created in part with framelits. Both the Apothecary Accent Framelits (127003) and the Labels Collection Framelits (125598) are used with the Bigshot to make card making an whole new adventure! You will find them on page 191 of the new Stampin' Up! catalog. Sarah</div>

Have you had a chance to check out the new punch, Elegant Butterfly? It's all the rage. It even has a matching stamp set, Pappillon Potpourri (123757)! Of course, there isn't a card these days that doesn't have summer starfruit... matched with midnight muse and you can see why! All the credit goes to Sheila Jamison who I swapped with at convention this summer!

Speaking of World Treasures, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ANGIE! One of the sistas is celebrating her 30 something birthday today! Yahoo! Have a great day! The card above was a variation of the swap I created for convention. I made about 50 of these gems, using different patterns from the DSP, International Bazaar (126920). There are some wonderful color combos in this product suite so it was quick and easy to come up with some unique designs. The featured colors above are tangerine tango, daffodil delight, and island indigo. The stamp set, World Treasures (126765) is so awesome! It has become one of my new faves!

This card showcases the new In Color, summer starfruit! It's one of those colors, love it or hate it, it's everywhere, especially with the basic gray as seen above. I've noticed this color combo in two weddings this summer, so it's the latest new fad! Leave it to Stampin' Up! to get it just right! The stamp set Mr. & Mrs. (126663) is the only stamp set you need to create this lovely wedding card! Enjoy!

Having a great time at convention. Kristine was enjoying the Riverton home office as this was her first visit. We saw all sorts of great decorations and on the picture above, you see awesome creations with my new favorite Bigz XL die, Designer Rosette (125594). I love to use it for center pieces and party decor. Super Fun!

Hello! Convention 2012 was full of great moments again this year. Here was most of the group at the home office in Riverton (we are missing Angie in this photo). What a great week had by all! Congratulations to Carmen who was a $20,000 personal sales marcher this year! Great job, Carms! Kristine and Martha also joined the group this year for this awesome event! What a great trip!
