Have a Stampin' Up! wish list?
Just pass this poem on to your family and friends along with your list and Judi's contact info and she'll take care of everything!

Dear Santa,

Stamping is something
I love to do,
so I'm making a
little list
for you.

Pick one, two,
maybe three
supplies and
rubber stamps
for me.

Clothes are nice,
jewelry too,
but is
going to the mall
what you really want to do?

Save yourself the time
of wrapping all my gifts-
Judi will do it for you,
just order by
December 5th!

I've been extra special
and good this year
so I'd
really like
some stampin' gear.

Just call Judi
to order from my
list.
I really hope
you're getting the gist.

When the goodies
arrive
at her house for me,
she'll wrap them up,
pretty as can be.
All you have to do is
slip them under the tree!

You don't have
to go anywhere,
simply stay at home.
Just contact Judi
by email or
by phone.

Avoid all the traffic
and crowded overpass ramps.
Just
sit back, relax...
and ORDER ME SOME STAMPS!

Recent Projects

I love Love LOVE the Wild Card Cricut cartridge!

I used the Wild Card cartridge for the card and envie and the 09KutUps.ttf with SCAL for the scalloped circle in the middle.

This one is the Wild Card cartridge for the card, oval, and sentiment and Walk in My Garden for the flower.

Here I used Stretch Your Imagination for the card and totally winged it on the envie as SYI doesn't have a coordinating envie.

This embossed tag was one of the projects from the last crop. The tag was cut using 09KutUps.ttf and SCAL and then stamped with embossing glue and a wood-mounted stamp. I demo'd how to use a heat gun and how to ink the edges.

Here's a layout I did when I should have been having my appendix removed. Despite the pain, I was quite happy with it. I used the Storybook cartridge for the letters and A Child's Year (my favorite new cartridge) for the snowflakes. I miss that Bruno!
