It's my Anniversary so I have a gift for YOU!

I took a look down memory lane and thought you might like to see some highlights of the past 10 years...
My first blog post with Stampin' Up! cards on Dec. 21, 2010 is here

The first Stampin' Up! Convention I attended in Salt Lake City was in July 2011 and I dedicated 4 blog posts to it. The 1st is here I am so grateful for this blog that has allowed me to record and share so many special times with special people!
Stamping event in Tacoma - October 2012

Convention - July 2013

Paper Pumpkin stamping with Family on the beach - July 2014

Crafting for Women's Retreat - March 2015

I hosted my first large stamping event in September 2015 So many of you were there! Thank YOU for joining me on this journey!

My sister, Shelley, was a member of my Friends Ink team for over 5 years and was my traveling companion & roommate for many events. So much fun to share the experiences together!!!OnStage (convention) - April 2016

Washington to Maine - Onstage November 2016
Friendships with these ladies are ongoing and my favorite part of being in the Stampin' Up! family.
This was a fun trip! I was happy John could join me for a few days away in California where we were treated to a fabulous celebration by my upline Suzie Barnes. You can see the fun here
I wrote a whole blog post reflecting back on 2018. From those who stamp with me at the Mukilteo Library, Panera, Stilly II, Sacramento to Canada and at home - I love and appreciate all of you! See the post here


Eight of my Friends Ink team members joined me in Vancouver, BC for a fun weekend in November 2019. Little did we know this would be our last large gathering for quite some time.
2020 has certainly been a different year and while we haven't been able to stamp together in the same ways, I am so grateful for all of you who have continued to support my business. I am happy that I can help you find the supplies you need to be creative and share cards & love with others during these difficult times. So many of you have added me to your card giving list and I have loved opening my mailbox to find your greetings.THANK YOU!!!

Pattern Play Duos

The Playful Alphabet dies pair with any Designer Series Paper, Cardstock, or Glimmer Paper to create fun sets of cards! Use the cut letters for one card and the negative for your 2nd card. Tip: Don't forget to save the centers of the letters to place back in the negative.

This Birthday set uses the Rainbow Glimmer Paper

The Merry Christmas set features the 'Tis The Season Designer Series Paper

Tips:

·        Save the centers of the letters A,B,D,P, & R to use in the negative space designs

·        Use a pair of tweezers or a stylus to help remove the backing paper from the Adhesive Sheet letters and Foam Adhesive Sheet letters

·        Cut the Metallic Mesh Ribbon in half, longwise, before attaching behind the Candy Cane Designer Series Paper

·        I cut the HAPPY BIRTHDAY wonky on purpose for effect. Place the letters on your banner card straight or crooked, whichever you prefer

·        Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the Bermuda Bay banner

·        I attached all other layers directly to the layer beneath

·        Embellish with Holiday Rhinestones as desired
