Open House Make and Takes

Below are the three FREE make and takes that customers attending our Open House a couple weeks ago got to make.  They focused on new products and I think our customers really like them.  The first was this note card using the NEW "Make a Cake" set, NEW "Patio Party" DSP, and the NEW In-colors - "Midnight Muse", "Primrose Petals" and "Summer Starfruit".

The second project was this elegant gift tag (or could also be used as a bookmark) - it features the NEW set "Everything Eleanor" that we received at Leadership earlier this year. It's a collage of some of the wonderful images with the flower popped up, and it uses coordinating "Comfort Cafe" DSP and "Comfort Cafe" fabric.  So cute!

Finally, everyone who came got to make this cute little page marker for their new catalogs - they punched out and mounted 5 little hears -one of each of the new "In-colors" and  mounted them in the appropriate square.  This helps them see the true colors of this new product. 

 All in all - it was a great day - lots of fun - lots of prizes!! Can't wait till our next one.  Stop back soon!  ~Maureen

Successful Open House...

Last week Heidi and I hosted our Annual New Catalog Open House.  At this event we introduce the new catalog - as well as have a huge discontinued merchandise sale.  This year we had soooo much to sell that I think we really should have posted this sign.  What a great day it was - with tons of our customers stopping in to enjoy the day with us. 

Here are some of the accessories and full ribbon rolls we had for sale -

 Punches, tools and cardstock sales -

And some, yes, just some of the stamp sets we had for sale.  Even though we sold a bunch, there is still a lot left, so I'll be leaving it out for customers to come by for the next couple weeks.

I'll share more about our Open House of the next couple days - so stop on back!! ~Maureen

Secret Sisters - III

Today I'm sharing the great gift Heidi got from her Secret Sister.  Look at this adorable pin-cushion in a frame - and it's make with our Stampin' Up!! Fabric.  How great is that!!  I've seen several pin-cushions made similar to this on the web - but I've got to say this is my fav.  Note the cute red/white stick pins, and the adorable little fabric flower at the bottom. 

Several Secret Sister gifts didn't make it to the meeting this month (such a busy time of year) but as people drop them off I'll be sure to share them with you.  Stop back soon!!  ~Maureen

Secret Sisters - II

Okay - today I'm sharing Julie's Secret Sister gift, and again I'm apologizing for the blurry picture.  This was taken the same day as the other bad ones, when I had my camera on the wrong setting.  Julie got a bunch of great goodies from her Secret Sis, and I hope you can see them all - the bright butterfly card, a cute patriotic necklace, a couple different post-it notes and the adorable red shoe tape dispenser.  Very cute!!  

Hopefully that is my last bad picture for awhile, but I'm making no promises!  See you all soon. ~Maureen

Secret Sisters - I

So at our Quarterly Meetings we exchange Secret Sister gifts - so I'll be sharing a few of those over the next days - the first one is MINE - woo hoo!! I received this lovely gift.  My Secret Sister certainly knows me -

I am a coffee-holic and that's putting it mildly :)  I received the amazing MUG planter - it is huge and filled with a beautiful begonia plant.  You can get an idea of the size when you compare it to the handle on the mug to the right of the picture.  It came in this adorable stamped bag.  I love the way she mimicked the polk-dots on the cup and used the spotlighting technique on the bag - really adorable.  Thank you so very much Secret Sis!!!

Day 2 of cruddy pictures (LOL)

I can't believe my pictures from my downline meeting Saturday are sooooo blurry.  I some how changed the settings - and didn't know it till after the fact - sorry.  I wish they were crisper - because these two cards were amazing.  Our challenge this month was your best Patriotic card and we had two entries - the first one was Heidi's - simply gorgeous and it won by one vote -

The second was Annette's and equally great - and the best part was since we give a winning prize - and then draw for a prize from the rest who entered - each lady got a prize!  Woo Hoo!!

Thanks for stopping by - come back soon!! -Maureen

Downline Meeting Project

So last Saturday was our Quarterly downline meeting - and we had a great time.  Lisa and her downline provided wonderful goodies for us to eat and Heidi and her downline were in charge of our project.  I have to apologize ahead of time for the off color and blurryness - I had the wrong setting on my camera :(  But the project was adorable - this cute little cupcake holder using the new "Make a Cake" set and a few of our new In-colors.  She had us create the base of the box and embellish it as shown below - we could pick pink or blue.

Then we created and punched the insert for a cupcake to fit in.  How fun would it be to present a friend or co-worker; or friend who is a co-worker :) with a cute little cupcake sitting in this box on their birthday.  I would just LOVE it!!

 

Thanks for a great project ladies - and thank you for stopping by.  Leave me a comment to let me know what you think of the project.  To see more of Heidi's creations stop by her blog - www.stampinking.blogspot.com

Christmas Card Stamp Camp

Last weekend we had our May Christmas Card Stamp Camp - we had a full house and sold several kits - so it was a great day.  They ladies we stamp with are so much fun - and are well on their way to having their Christmas cards all done.  The cards we make for this stamp camp each month are pretty clean and simple - as they make 10 cards (5 of each design) - but I think they look great!

Stop back soon!  ~Maureen
