So, I realized - I have a ton of projects photographed that I never shared. It always seems that the day gets away from me, and I haven't blogged - but I love to share these projects, and I love being able to look back on them - so, I'm gonna try harder. So here's a project I don't think I ever shared - and I LOVE IT! It was the technique for my November clubs - Recessed Panel. Once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy - and packs a punch. Here's the instruction card -
And the actual project card that we made using the technique -
Here's a view from the side so you can see how the different layers lay -
I also made this card using the same technique - totally different look -
And again, another angle so you can see how the panel is recessed.
I hope you like these - and give it a try. I plan to do more soon, as I do really love the look. Come back soon ~Maureen Some products may no longer be available. Click on any image below to go directly to my online store - some are currently on clearance. Be sure to check out the retiring products and clearance items (while supplies last) and use the current hostess code -
Recently I had the privilege of attending OnStage Stampin' Up! in LasVegas with eight of my Amazing Team Members. What a great event. I
always come back super energized - so am going to share a bit with you
today. Those of us who attended got our Annual catalogs - these won't be available to the other demonstrators and our customers till sometime in May - and we can't order from it till June (but watch for a sneak peek special in May.) Anyway - it is AMAZING - we can't share much now - but you will LOVE it! So if you want your very own copy and do not have a U.S. demonstrator - or are already my customer - please let me know and you will get yours in May. If you have another demonstrator - please contact them to receive your copy.
Friday afternoon we arrived and I had this wonderful room -
With an awesome view -
All SU demonstrators who achieved the level of Silver Elite or above got star treatment at CentreStage on Friday night - great food, training and prizes - here's my haul from that night - not bad!
And of course I have to share food pictures - it was all sooo yummy!
Salad
Dinner
Dessert
The best part was seeing my TEAM members that were able to come from all over (several states) to be there -
Kelea, Paula, Toni, Sarah, Kathy, Rina, Jean, Me, and Vicki!
Our TEAM did a group swap - just look at these great cards - they did an amazing job!
Jean B
Kathy B
Maureen R
Paula B
Toni H
Vicki D
And, even though it was a card swap - one of my Team members, Kelea, made these awesome mugs for each of us. I am a coffee lover - so any mug gets me excited - but our Team Name is the Crazy Stamping Ladies - so how cool is that!!! You will see me with this mug - often! See you soon ~Maureen
Hi all - It is that time of year when Stampin' Up! is getting ready to transition to our NEW annual catalog - so lots to share with you.
First - just look at that AMAZING catalog cover - and believe me - what it hides inside is just as amazing. If you do not currently have a different US demonstrator - and would like a catalog - please contact me no later than April 29th and I will be sure to get one sent to you in May. You'll be one of the first to see all the wonderful, new, fun things Stampin' Up! has in store for you!
The clearance rack has been reloaded and there are TONS of amazing products. That, combined with all the products that are retiring (many only while supplies last) make this the perfect time to get your SHOPPING on. You can find all the CLEARANCE, CURRENT and RETIRING products on my website - www.stampingwithmaureen.stampinup.net by clicking HERE. Note the new catalog will have a color revamp - so colors, pad and ink formulas will be getting changed up a bit. So the following colors are retiring -
Which makes way for the NEW COLOR groups -
Please use the following CURRENT HOSTESS CODE when ordering -
Plus - a Paper Pumpkin special -
Paper Pumpkin is also celebrating this transition with a 50% off your first 2 months for NEW customers - that is an amazing deal! You must sign up by May 10 and use the code SAVEFIFTY0418 and you will get your May and June kits for 1/2 off the regular $19.95 price. If you want to continue after that at the regular price do nothing. If you wish to stop after that - then you must cancel after your two 1/2 price months - but it's easy peasy to do. Sign-up at PaperPumpkin.com and be sure to choose me as your demonstrator. Here's a peek at the April kit we all just received - even though the next months will be different - it gives you an idea of what to expect. Check out the video!
Finally - I have a couple classes yet this month that will focus on FUN and RETIRING products - if you live in the Prescott, AZ area - plan to come join us! Just email me at crazystampinglady@gmail.com to reserve your spot:

My clubs are either starting a new rotation - or starting for the first time. So that means a new round of hostess gifts. This time around I am using Stampin' Up!s adorable little pizza boxes, and filling them with coordinating gift cards and envelopes. Here is the top of the box for my February Hostesses.
And a side view.
Each month will feature different card designs - so these were my February designs -
Below is a close up of just one of the cards and envelopes -
And here it is with the box open . The great thing about the boxes is that you can take out the cards and pop in a gift card - and it's ready for gift-giving! How fun is that!
Hope you enjoyed!!! Stop back soon. ~Maureen
