Free Shipping on Everything!

Stampin' Up has announced Free Shipping on everything from April 6th - April 8th.  This is the perfect time to check out all the new promotions.

Visit my store online at www.leesagemeny.stampinup.net to order.

Stampin' Up also announced the new colors for 2013 - 2014 Annual catalog. Check the list below to see the exciting new line up! (Free shipping weekend would be a great time to stock up on any retiring color products ...I'm thinking ribbon, paper, accessories oh my!)

 

Another item to think about ordering are the watercolor pencils and crayons. Both are being discontinued. Current stock of both can be ordered until they are gone.

I Love creating with watercolors! Get yours before they are all gone.

 

 

More Tackling of the Stamping Supplies

Two more great stamping supply storage ideas. I love organization, but finding the right thing for me takes some patience.  Here are two ideas I found while browsing the Stampin Up demonstrator website, Stampin Connection, this week.

1. Sorting each color group together in bins.  Each bin would contain the ink pads, reinkers and stampin write markers. Each bin perfectly labeled, of course! Thank you to Geri Leto, Stampin Up demonstrator, for sharing this on Stampin Connection.

I can see the benefit of this being in it's simplicity and low cost. If you know you will be working with subtles you can find them all in one place. this would also be so easy for others who may be stamping with you.

2.  This second idea I have already started. I think I might combine the ideas and just add this to my bins (when I get bins set up).  Stampin' Up sells the empty stamp containers that the clear stamps come in.  You would use one case for each color group.

Thank you Joyce Weiler, stampin Up demonstrator who shared this on the Stampin up website! Such a great idea. This is a such a simple way to transport markers to and from workshops. What a space saver and I would think you could easily look and see if you are missing markers before packing up to go home.

I am sure that there are a million different storage solutions out there. Let me know if you have any others.  So far I end up with everything out everywhere. Maybe that is just part of the process!

***UPDATE***
I have found the links to print out the PDF of the marker inserts!! Stampin' Up sells the clear cases.  Kimberly Barker, Stampin' Up demonstrator,  was kind enough to create these awesome inserts and share them with all of us.  She just asks that no one sells them.

Pink Impact

I just got home from Pink Impact 2012! It was the most amazing experience.  The speakers were God filled women that truly spoke to my heart.  I am leaving with so much to pray and think about. The words Arise and Courage will always mean more to me after this week and I pray that I will be able to put them into my daily life.

I never imagined being able to hear Beth Moore in person. It was such a gift to be able to experience her passion. She is such an inspiration! 

There were so many great speakers that I have a whole list of books to order. The first of which will be by Holly Wagner, the pastor of Oasis Church in California. God Chicks Awaken is a devotional that I must find.

Before even leaving the Gateway Church parking lot I was ordering tickets for the 2013 Pink Impact Conference.  Time to clear that schedule for next April.

Summer Smooches

Check out the newest promotions from Stampin' Up. Summer Smooches are available until April 30th.  I love this collection and have used it for several projects this month.  Check out www.leesagemeny.stampinup.net  to view them or click the picture link above to shop.

All Things Stampin is my newest venture! I have been planning to scrapbook for years! Literally 14 years. I am so behind schedule.  In the last few months I have been introduced to the Stampin' Up line of products and become truely addicted!!  Just recently I signed up as a demonstrator. Here are a few of my sample cards for my upcoming show and Open House 

  Graduation cards for both Weatherford and the Aledo Schools. I really loved getting these together and playing with the different colors. For the Blue I used whisper white and pacific point Stampin Up papers.  For the Orange/ Black card is used pumpkin pie paper. The Graduation stamp came from the Tiny Wishes stamp set. Everyone that attends the Open House on May 3 will get to make one.

Below are a few cards I created while playing around with my new stamps and supplies.  The starter set came with so many goodies!

Now,  I have to say that if it were not for all the stampin bloggers out there that share their creations. As a new stamper, I don't know where I would start without their inspiration! 

The graduation cards were original found posted by Jill Coleman. I'm not sure where I saw them but her site is www.jillstamps.com. I was able to look at her design and change them to our school colors. I hope I did her design justice.

The butterfly card I have seen a couple of different ways, but I loved the one I saw by Jacque Craig. I have no idea where I say or her website. I will have to start noting that info when I find one I love.  Mine is not as detailed as hers. Another reason I need to purchase more Stampin Up supplies!! My list is growing and definately includes the Big Shot!
