Behind on your scrapbooking?

The simplicity Project Life by Stampin' Up! is what I found that I needed!  I am a traditional scrapbooker at heart, but teaching full-time, helping the Farmer, being a happy shopper with Stampin' Up!, AND being a mom to 3 teenagers, I didn't have time.  Enter Project Life!  It is a photo-safe, pocket memory keeping system.  It is so simple and fast!  My pages are done quickly!  The pages below took 15 minutes to complete.  Most of that time was spent selecting photos and cropping them down for the smaller pockets and journaling.  If I ever want to go back and redo the pages, I can (but chances are, that won't happen!).  Stampin' Up! carries 12" x 12" and 6" x 8" albums.  They carry an array of pages too!  There are also punches, pens, Framelits, stamps, and, of course, Project Life Card Collections and accessories!  The products are on pages 162-167 in the Annual Catalog and on page 31 in the Holiday Catalog.  Let me know if you would like a complimentary catalog.

My son has to do a Senior Scrapbook, and Project Life is what he will be using!  I can't wait to see how his turns out!


Here are a few of the products to get you started!

Stitched Framelits



Stampin' Up! has released the Stitched Framelits! These Framelits will add a "stitched" edge to several basic shapes.  They coordinate with several current stamp sets so Stampin' Up! is offering those stamp sets for 25% off until the end of the month!  I just ordered mine this morning and can't wait to get them!



So here are the stamps that coordinate and their sale prices!
Which are your favorites?

Santa Luminary


I am totally in love with the Detailed Santa Thinlits Die (141836).  If you are too, request my newsletter, and I'll send you the tutorial for you to make this. To request a catalog, send me an email, by clicking here.  This die makes a great card and tag too as shown in the catalog!

Are You a Happy Shopper? I am!

I became a demonstrator because I loved the products!  No one I knew was selling it anymore so I decided to join.  I called around to demonstrators in nearby towns to see who would be the best to join under.  I left a few messages, spoke to one gal, and signed under her.  I've never spoken to her since.  That was March 2012.

It was a struggle at first.  I didn't really have a direction and my mother's health was failing.  I became my own best customer to meet my minimums.  That fall I decided to invite a few friends to a class. Since then I've offered classes as often as I could and have done vendor shows in the fall and spring when I can.  I've built a nice business.

Recently I've been taking classes on how to be a more knowledgeable Stampin' Up! demonstrator.  I've learned so much!  (Thank you, Janet!)  Some of the things that I have learned are:

*Any time is a good time to join Stampin' Up!, but there are some GREAT times.  For example, if you join now, you have until the end of March to meet your minimum ($300) for your first full quarter (Jan-March).  That's over 5 months!  Everything you buy or sell until the end of March counts toward that $300 including Paper Pumpkin subscriptions.

*Once you join, there is no obligation to stay a demonstrator.  There are many opportunities, but no obligation.

*When you join, you get $125 worth of product that you pick for $99 with free shipping.

*You also begin to earn Flex Points.  If you earn enough Flex Points from Oct 1 - Sept 30,2017 , you could earn a trip for 2 on an Alaskan Cruise.  There are many other things you can earn.  (This year I earned $80+ worth of free product that I choose whenever I want.) There are extra ways to earn Flex Points for new demos.

*You start earning 20% off all your purchases.

*You start earning 20% from all your customers purchases too.  In time, you could earn more.

*You can earn Stampin' Rewards just like your customers.

*You get to preview and order a month before your customers from new catalogs.

*If you join someone's team, there is help and many perks to getting started.

*Both you and the person whose team you joined get extra perks as well.

*MOST people who join do so as Happy Shoppers and don't really intend to make it a business.  It is always an option, but never necessary.


I'm looking for Happy Shoppers to join my team.  I'd love to share this experience with you!  Maybe even a cruise to Alaska!  Contact me today or click on my Stampin' Up! page tab at the top and click Join The Fun!

Framelits Storage Made Simple

Framelit storage is easy as long as you don't use the Framelit!  Once you pry the Framelit off the card and use it, storage becomes difficult.  They have a hard time sticking back on the card and end up sitting on the bottom of the package.

However, there is a simple, inexpensive way to store your Framelits and Thinlits!  I buy magnetic furnace vent covers at the local hardware store.  They come 3 in a package and are about 8" x 24".

Trace the card that comes from the Framelits. Then cut it out.



Put the Framelits on the magnetic sheet.  They are easy to remove and replace as needed. 

Store back in their package and write the number of pieces on the outside just to keep track and make sure that you have all the pieces whenever you use them.   Enjoy your crafting!
