Z Fold Butterfly Card

A couple of night's ago was my card class. We had such fun stamping 6 awesome cards together. Here's one of the ones we made:

I got the idea from Ronda Wade and I love how it turned out. To fold the card base, you just fold in half like normal and then fold your front piece back. So simple and it makes for such a unique card!

 

Stamps: With All My Heart* (118134wood-mount/118623clear-mount)
Ink: Chocolate Chip Classic ink (100908)
Paper: Regal Rose CS (105130), Whisper White CS (100730), Chocolate Chip CS (102128), Apricot Appeal CS (105124), Welcome Neighbor Designer Series Paper Pad (118401 Sale-A-Bration)
Accessories: Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die* (118138), Scallop Trim Border Punch (118402 Sale-A-Bration), Chocolate Chip Sending Love Epoxy Brads* (117272), Snail adhesive (104332)

*Occasions Mini

This week is proving to be super busy. I had my card class; I'm preparing for my Stampin' Up! Garage Sale tomorrow and then I was asked by Stampin' Up! to demonstrate a workshop wow at the Regional Seminar next weekend so I'm busy making samples for that. I have to admit, I'm terrified to demonstrate in front of so many talented demonstrators…but, how do you say no to Stampin' Up!? lol.

One Kickin’ Party

This past weekend was my Sale-A-Bration (SAB) Kick-Off and we had a kickin' time!!! I really had so much fun! 

We had 6 amazing and talented demonstrators who were part of our "Demonstrator Theatre". They each wow'd us with their amazing talent. Each booth hightlighted a set of products: Build a Bear, Cllng Stamps, Decor Elements, Chipboard, new punches & a make and take booth. Each attendee went from booth to booth to see the demonstrations. I heard so much great feedback on the demo theatre booths and really want to thank my amazing helpers! You ladies truly love what you do and it shows!


We had amazing samples shared on the share tables and in demo theatre! Alot of pictures were taken and tons of ideas shared!


We played a fun game of STAMPtionery. We had 2 teams, plus some very helpful easels! The ladies were given stamp set names and had to draw it while their teammate guessed. I allowed audience help and because I love to give out prizes BOTH teams won something!  

AND more prizes…I gave away over $300 worth of prizes during the day. Our big draw was THE BIG SHOT and as you can see from the photos…this was a BIG deal! Congrats Michelle!  

Lastly, the make and takes…we made 6 projects using the Sweet Pea Designer Series paper and Felt Pieces.

We have over 200 pictures of this event…if you're part of my team, you'll find the rest in our team gallery soon! 
 

We've already started to plan for the next big event! You really need to join us! It's going to be a not-to-be-missed WEEKEND RETREAT in Westport, ON.  Join us on the weekend of March 26th…find out more details at www.stampingirls.com

My beautiful bathroom!

I decorated my bathroom before Christmas and forgot to share. I used the "Tree, Thoughts & Prayers" and "Directions of Your Dreams" from the Decor Elements brochure. I used the large tree and the medium saying.

I love how simple it is to change a whole room with just some simple Vinyl Wall Art!

Winner of Stampers Profit Pal

Wow! What an exciting launch we've had to this program! Tania and I have been excited to be able to help so many demonstrators get on the right track to becoming profitable in 2010.

We loved all the comments and have read through all of them. I know many of us have set our New Year's Resolutions to become more organized and to keep a profit in our Stampin' Up! businesses. I'm so excited to be a small part of helping making this happen. I truly believe that the Stampers Profit Pal is an easy and organized way to keep track of your income and expenses!

So without further delay…here's the winner (chosen randomnly through random.org)
 

Congrats Lindsay S who has won her own copy of the Stampers Profit Pal!!! Just send us an email at info@stampersprofitpal.com and let us know your full name and where you're from!


Here's what Lindsay had to say:

Josee, this is amazing! Something that I have needed for a long time. I have only been a demonstrator for just over 2 years but I have really struggled with figuring out how much I am actually making versus how much I'm actually spending on the buisness. This is something I really need to be able to see how I can make my business more successful.
