My Story

My Stampin’ Up! Story

I was attending evening college and working full time during the day. I had a friend who held a Stampin’ Up! workshop. I went and ordered a stamp set, ink pad, and paper. When I received it, the excitement of the workshop wore off and I did not have a sample to work from. The stuff stayed in the bag. Fast forward five years later, keeping in your mind that the stuff is still in the bag. I had changed jobs and one of my coworkers came in all excited about this workshop she went to. She showed me her cards and that is all she wrote. We actually found a group locally and started stamping. We both joined a club that you spent so much a month and one month you were the hostess. I LOVED to make cards and scrapbook. I was involved in that club for 3 years. Well my demonstrator ran into some personal issues and there were not enough people to start the club again.

Most of us were all set for a while with all of our supplies. Well six months later, I needed some paper and re-inkers. I went back to my demonstrator and told her I was interested in signing up. I signed up under her and made my first couple of orders. I never read the manual and was not informed of some of the awesome possibilities in my first year of signing up. But that was okay because my main focus was to get the discount to cover my hobby. Soon I had enough stuff and the other ladies were not ordering much. SO I had to find new customers or end my commitment. The more I thought about that, I knew I needed to find additional friends. Because as every demonstrator knows, with a new customer is the beginning of a lifelong friendship.

Note Boards

Some of the paper is what I had in my stash that is not SU! or is retired SU! Designer Series Paper. I sold the top two to a friend and the bottom one with the apple was for a teacher gift.

I received one of these boards as a door prize from the SCS mini mingle that I co-hosted. Laura made it and it was beautiful! Thanks again, Laura.

This is for Gretchen Barron's Inspiration in Action Weekend Challenge. It can be found here. This is my first time trying her challenge and only my second try at a sketch. The picture is dark. I ended up having to use my other camera. My computer printer was not recognizing any files from my Nikon camera. Computers, what would we do without them=)

I used Berry Christmas stamp set (116509). I used the Bride Specialty Paper (115669), Rich Razzleberry Ink and Paper (115658 & 115316), Old Olive Ink and Paper (102277 & 100702), Earth Elements Brads (106955), Rich Razzleberry 1/2" Grosgrain Ribbon (115613), Eyelet Border Punch (113692), Stampin' Up! Merry Details (116823), Paper Piercing Tool (116631), Mat Pack (105826) and the Big Shot (113439). For adhesive, I used the snail adhesive (104332), mini glue dots (103683) and Stampin' Dimensionals (104430).

Of course, these items can all be purchased at my online store found here.

The Stamp Set and the Merry Details are in the Mini Catalog and are only available through January 4, 2010. Thanks for looking.
