It's a blizzard here and the kid's are out of school today and tomorrow. We've been snowed in all weekend with an incredible eight inches of snow!
Yes, you read that right, eight inches shut down our city! Of course there are only a few snow plows, Southerners don't have to deal with ice and snow very often.
This is a fun project for you and the kids to make when the cabin fever sets in this winter. Kids enjoy talking about themselves; they can journal, draw or just color in this book depending on their age.
Ask them questions to get them started; what is your favorite room, which window in our house gives the best view, where is the best place to read a book?
The Welcome Neighbor Designer Paper is perfect for this project. Adhere a piece of the brightly colored Designer Paper to card stock with a glue stick.
Cut pages with the Scalloped Square Clear Die. A clear die is great for a project with Designer Paper; you can line up exactly where you want the die to cut, don't worry about slicing off an element near the edge!
Stamp the house and trees with the coordinating Good Neighbors stamp set. This stamp set and the Designer Paper are both free Rewards available in the Sale-A-Bration Brochure.
Punch holes through all layers with the Crop-A-Dile and tie Bermuda Bay Ribbon through to bind your book.

I adore all of the new vintage stamp images we have. I'm trying to figure out how to get my living room wall covered in the Very Vintage jumbo wheel, shown on the background of the Bravo Burgundy card stock on this card. Any ideas?

Just in time for Valentine's Day, here are a few ideas to help you create for all of the men in your life!
1. Keep It Simple & Make Your Point
Imagine you are in the military. State your purpose simply and clearly. Keep it clean and minimal.
You
don't need 5 layers of card stock, glitter and buttons. Girlfriends
appreciate embellishments, a husband wants to know how much each
doo-dad costs!
2. Color Choice
You might think men notice nothing because after living in the same house for years, he still asks you where everyday objects are kept. You might want to make a pink Valentine's Day card or give him something with pastel-colored flowers on it. After some research, I was surprised to learn that my husband actually does pay attention and remembers the cards I make him.
He likes receiving a red and black card, browns are acceptable, too.
If it is obviously a "manly" card, he knows I took the time and made is just for him instead of recycling one of the hundreds I have in my craft room!
3. That's What I Like
One thing that men have in common is testosterone, which lead me to the Ransom Note card... However, with the exception of hunting, you may want the subject of your cards to be a bit lighter.
Just create something that focuses on what they like; antique cars, outdoors, humor, camping, gardening, boats, candy, baseball, dogs, trucks.
If nothing else, put a picture of you on the card and tell him to throw darts at it the next time you irritate him. This is what he was thinking anyway but now that you've said it, he will (most likely) never do it!
This is my favorite image from the stamp setI {Heart} Hearts, I love the vintage look of it!
I also love that Stampin' Up! is donating $2 from the sale of each
stamp set to the American Red Cross' Haiti Relief and Development Fund.

Happy Saturday! Today I'm getting ready for my Sale-A-Bration Open House next Friday and Saturday, January 29th & 30th.
Come stamp with me if you live in Hampton Roads, Virginia! Stop by between 10:00 and 1:00 to try the new products, make this card and other projects.
This will be the first big event at my new house, I just moved from Virginia Beach to Norfolk. I don't think I will ever learn to pronounce 'Norfolk' like the natives say it, this Hoosier gets tongue-tied!
I love this stamp set we received at the Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference in Phoenix a few weeks ago, With All My Heart.

Thoroughly enjoyed my first day of classes here at the Leadership Conference. Always love the demonstrations and we had quite a few with the new products from the Occasions Mini Catalog.
Above is the colorful Pink Flamingo Designer Series Paper Beach Towel. Here are a few other goodies from Memento Mall available for Demonstrators to purchase:
Leave the Stampin' Up! logo impression in the sand with each step you take with these bright flip flops! I wish I could wear them but anything between my toes is akin to torture.
A square watch with the Stampin' Up! logo on the face and four of our ribbons included for interchangeable bands.
A two-tiered card tree with a square metal Stampin' Up! logo at the top.
White vinyl logo for your car or wherever you want to stick it!
Would you like to attend a Stampin' Up! corporate event with hundreds or thousands of other crazy crafters like you? These are always a lot of fun, Mom's vacation that I can call a business trip!
If you are interested in learning more about becoming a Demonstrator and joining us at the next event, please contact me for more information!
Check in today at Leadership was a great beginning!
We made two cards, a scrapbook page, a tag, and a milk carton during our Make & Take session.
It's always fun making new friends and we've met lots of people; beginning with standing in line at Memento Mall! Pictured here is a reusable bag, the design is from the Sweet Pea Designer Series Paper in the Occasions Mini Catalog. The Pink Flamingo beach towel was adorable as well!
Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings. Another day in paradise... love the sunny weather here!
