Hi there, I just wanted to send out a reminder to all of you. Today is the last day for the Demonstrator Discount. For $85 you can get the base kit and become a demonstrator. Just want a discount and just buy stuff on your own-you can do that too. Don’t want to actually demo but just collect orders? This kit is perfect for you. Or perhaps the Main kit interests you. The Starter kit is $199.00 and the add on Stampin’ Memories Kit is $50.00. INTERESTED???-I have heard by signing online it only takes 15 min.

My Online Password is Goose.

Come on-Be a part of the Stampin’ Up!® Family and my group-The Dairy Best Stampers.

Just click on the info to the left here on the $85 box.

Of course there are all kinds of goodies I offer for my recruits but I think this is the last chance-and a really good deal-to become a demonstrator before the Holiday season begins. A Fun way to make extra cash for the Holidays.

Yesterday was my 12th Anniversary as a Stampin’ Up!® Demo. I can tell you it has been a True Blessing in all aspects of my life. But the best thing-All the wonderful people I have met along the way to share stamping with. I would Love to have you be a part of the Fun.

Questions?-Just give me a call-262-374-0219-Central time Zone!

Talk with you soon.

Oh-and Watch for a nifty post tomorrow when our Holiday Mini Begins!

The first 5 people that send me an order of $50 or more-Placed online-Get these packs sent to them along with this month’s Online Special. Interested?? Place your order today, Good Luck and Thank You!!! I will post Winners first names beginning of Sept.

Hi there crafty people. I thought you might like to see another Home Decor idea in another tutorial form with pics. It's never to early for Fall things I always say. Stay tuned-I am a Fall Fanatic-Certified I think!!!! I made this for a workshop this past Sat. in Harvard, IL. There seemed to be little interest in stamping but they really liked the Definitely Decorative line for their homes. I like to demonstrate this as often as I can because I don't want to lose interest from those that Just came to the party to "support their friend". This "extra" product from Stampin' Up!® is wonderful. You can put it on just about anything. Download the Definitely Decorative catalog from my blog today and have fun decorating.

I bought this Shadow Box at a Big Box Craft Store. I am using the Small Season of Thanks (114883) in Chocolate. Size-7-5/8" X 12".

It comes in Black too and medium size for both.

Gently peel apart the two pages. This is nice and slow!!!

Line up as best as you can. I eyeballed it! Some of you might like to mark it with a chalk line or grease pen. LOL!

I forgot my applicator to apply so I borrowed a credit card from a guest. It works in a pinch but it did take an extra 5 Min. Use the Decor Elements Applicator-it works great!

Pull liner Very slowly just in case some of it still sticks to the paper and not the item you are putting it on. Sometimes you have to roll it back over and scrape a bit more and gently pull back. Keep the liner tightly to the surface.

I cleaned the glass from the inside. I then used the Black Velcro to attach the single leaves. I just added the extra leaves on the bottom to freely float around. Ta Da! Now you have Fall decor that lasts through Thanksgiving. Just change out the leaves and put in another decor item. I hope this gets your creative mind thinking!

I thought perhaps you needed to see another Pop-Up card with the Sizzix Die. Inspiration comes from all over. Someone mentioned that it was a granddaughters 16th B-day coming up and that she really liked this stamp set-Dreams Du Jour (#111624-$18.95). I knew I wanted to make another Pop Up Card with the In colors, Rich Razzleberry and Crushed Curry and this is the result. I hope you like.

I LOVE this color. It’s our new Rich Razzleberry In Color. I used the matching Designer Series Patterns paper and lots of punches. When was the last time YOU used your punches. I used the following:

Large Oval #107305, Small oval #107304. Photo Corner #109042, Modern Label #116630, and of course the Round Tab #108340.

I added Taffeta White Ribbon, a Dimentional, and a Vintage Black Brad.

Since I am not at Convention this week (Whaaaa!) I will be posting several card ideas so-stay tuned. I hope to inspire you into doing something creative. What? You haven’t stamped today-Quick-stamp some post -it notes or an envelope. Truly-Bills you pay should be highly decorated!!!!! LOL. Enjoy!

Hi there stamping friends. I have posted My Monthly Online Special up top. Purchase at least $50.00 online with me and get this fun Chocolate filled box with a Thank You note. Here is the side view that I did not post there. Once Again-One of my favorite items made with the Big Shot! Enjoy and Happy Shopping!
