The Weather is a Changing

Hi Everyone,

The weather has been changing, and I've noticed our days getting shorter. That time for gathering with friends and creating wonderful stamped projects is certainly here. One of the things I just love is getting together with my friends to have a "shoe box swap". This gives my friends and customers a chance to be the idea maker. Each person designs a card and then puts all the supplies in a box so that everyone else can make their card. We come together with snacks to share and just have a great time trading boxes and creating. I wanted to share some of the projects that were created.

I really love the Christmas Pines Set. We set our
shoebox swap for fall to Christmas. This was my project

I wanted to share a video of Kris Miller sharing her project that is a holiday one using the Christmas Pines bundle. Enjoy.

Christ created this fall card. I love the gold accents

My sister-n-law Arla created this fun and shimmery card
using the owl punch for the ghosts

What a fun trick or treat project.

These cute shimmery ghosts were made by Bea

I love the puffy mummy!

This Halloween witch looks like it's up to something.
This project was created by Bunny

As you can see I have lots of Halloween fans that are stamping friends. I really wanted to do Halloween too, but I know there would be plenty, so I opted for the fall with the Christmas Pines bundle. If you have any Halloween fall or Halloween projects you'd like to share, I'd be happy to post. Simply contact me at lennyandmary1@msn.com or my Facebook page.

You can still use this month's Hostess Code ATFF92YD to have a chance at Mystery Hostess. If you are chosen, you will get all of the hostess benefits for the party total. When shopping on-line, be sure to use the hostess code so your order will be linked. For every $25.00 you spend, your name goes into the drawing.

I hope you enjoyed these projects. Leave a comment or share with a friend. I hope to see some of your creations as well.

Happy Stampin',

Stamping Excitement is in the Air

Stampin' Up! has released their new Holiday Catalog from September 1st through January 3rd and it is fabulous! I can't even begin to tell you the must have products in this catalog. From fall through Winter, there are so many wonderful things for card making, scrapbooking, and gift giving. To see up close on many of the products simply visit Stampin' Up!'s YouTube channel for videos on many of the stamp sets, bundles, and kits. Here is a peek at the new catalog.

What a fun preview of all of the new stamping goodies

One of the products I just love is the Sweet Home Bundle. This is such a great bundle! There are so many wonderful and cute things you can do with this set. I first love the size of the little houses. They are perfect for filling with treats for your friends and family. You can also create some fun cards and memories with this bundle.

These are so cute!

Sweet Home Bundle

I am having a special class using this bundle for participants to create many fun projects. Check out my classes and events at my website for more information. If you aren't local, you can still participate in this event. This class is $15.00 and all the supplies for the projects are included. It is scheduled for Saturday, October 1st. Any participants wanting to purchase the bundle may do so and attend the class for free.

September Stamping Specials

When things didn't seem like they could get better, Stampin' Up! just wants to spoil us all. During the month of September, each week will feature many products from the Annual Catalog on sale up to 25% off. I love the chance to be spoiled each week with savings. Be sure to check in each week to see what's new on sale.

What I love about this Special offers is that you can have many chances to win Mystery Hostess with me.

Every $25.00 puts your name in for a chance to win. I can’t wait to see what is available each week on special.

with a gift card enclosure. New In-Colors was the focus as well.

This is a super "WOW" project by Kathleen Smith!
