Good morning Stampers!

I have a pile of card samples piling up and so I thought I would pop on here and share some of them with you,

As many of you know I make lots of cards. I see a color combination I like - I will make a card, a layout I like I will make a card and so on. My goal when making various cards is to find that card- the one that I can show you how to make, that was not just a fluke in how quick and easy it was, because I have been doing this for awhile.I have been demonstrating for almost 25 years! Yep I joined Stampin'Up! in September 1999. I never would have thought I would still be here, when I started. Watch for some celebration specials all month long! 

But first I have been making birthday cards, copycat samples from the new mini catalog, and cards to sell at the Market at Margies in October.

Here are the cards in my pile, starting with a couple of cards that Card Express @ Home subscribers will be making when their kits arrive in their mailboxes next month.

here is a copycat sample from the mini catalog using the caring leaves stamp set

Another copycat set of tags using the Humble Home bundle in the mini catalog

Some cards I made that will be for sale at Margie's event.

There are more and I will share those later here or on my blog, which I am trying to get back to posting on. 

Reminders:

you have just one week left to use your bonus coupons that were earned last month, and also this is your last week to buy some of the lovely designer papers that are on sale for 15% off.

Check out new items in my online store now, including product previously only available to Close to My Heart customers. As many of you know Close to My Heart closed their doors at the end of June and Stampin'Up! purchased their product line and offered an opportunity to CTMH makers to join the Stampin'Up! family of demonstrators. Until now because of the limited nature of the product line it has only been available to those closely familiar with the product. It has now been made available to everyone. Beginning in September Stampin'Up! will be launching it's own Scrapbooking line of product and soon you will also see some classes I will be offering featuring cards/ mini scrapbooks/ and frameable pages.
