One of the best things about being a demonstrator is all the great friends you make along the way. There are so many wonderful people I wouldn’t know if it wasn’t for Stampin’ Up!
One of the wonderful friends I’ve met along the way is Janice Weightman-she has been such a great resource to me for the past several years. She has blessed my life in so many way’s with her friendship and all the wonderful information she has shared with me-I’ve learned so much from her about being a demonstrator and team leader! I even got to visit her in Chicago a couple years back to speak at one of her large meetings. I had such a great time meeting her group and family! She’s kind of like my "adopted Stampin’ Up! mommy!"
A few weeks back I got a great package in the mail from her…check it out!

How awesome is that?!

There’s some really awesome projects included…here are some of my favourites:

 Aren’t they lovely projects?! Thanks Janice!!!

Happy Stamping!  Josee

Basket of Goodies + Free Tutorial

Posted on by Josee

As promised here’s the second tutorial just for you! These little baskets were so fun to make. I used this project for my stampers clubs this month and each one turned out uniquely beautiful as each used different Designer papers. We created this project as a Mother’s Day idea, but, it would also make a great Teacher Gift for the end of the year.

Here are 3 different versions of this adorable Basket!

BONUS: To create this basket yourself- click here for the Step-by-Step Tutorial!

Fun with “Girlfriends!”

Posted on by Josee

My oldest Daugher is turning 8 tomorrow…can you believe it? It feels like just yesterday she was an adorable baby girl and now she’s 8!!! Do you ever feel like life goes too fast? She’s  such a wonderful girl and I can’t believe she’s grown up so much! We decided to have her party with friends next weekend at Art Mad in Stittsville. It’s an art store where the girls will get to make their own canvas painting. To top it off, the store will then take a scan of their art and transfer it to T-Shirts for each child. I can’t wait to see what they all create.

The invite we created was inspired by a card on Splitcoaststampers using the Girlfriends stamp set. This set retired a while back, but, I kept it knowing we’d get lots of use out of it as it’s so darn adorable!

 

Kyla even did the stamping and colouring herself!!! Who knows, maybe she’ll be a demonstrator one day!

Too bad she’s too young- this month would have been great for her to join with our Starter Kit special! If you’re way over 8 years old and have thought of joining Stampin’ Up! as a demonstrator, make sure you check out my information page or attend my demonstrator information night!

Have a Happy Stamping Day!

Shake It Card & Tutorial!!!

Posted on by Josee

Missed me? I know I’ve missed all of you in Blog World. I can’t believe how fast time flies. Seems like forever since I’ve had a chance to blog.

I’ve been so busy getting ready for my upcoming Stampin’ Girls Convention for demonstrators, I’ve hardly had time to do anthing else. I just can’t wait till May 30th where all the preparation will finally pay off. It takes me months to get ready for this event. I am so excited to have my business coach, John Sanpietro from Stamping is my Business, come WOW us with all of his tips and ideas! If you’re a demonstrator and have never checked him out-you really should! He’s done wonders for my business!

Can I WOW you by my new accomplishment? lol- last weekend I did a 5 km run with my soon to be 8 year old daughter. Ok, so we didn’t run the whole thing-but, my goal was to FINISH without dying and I DID IT!!! We even got a medal at the end!!! (Ok, everyone who finished got one, but, I was still proud-hee, hee).

Since I’ve neglected all of you for a while, thought I’d share something extra special!!! This is a project that I created for my stamp club this month. I got the idea from Danielle Lounds from Fat Cat Stamper. I loved her card and simplified it a bit to do with my club.

BONUS: For a step by step tutorial on how to make this card- click here!

Hope you like it!

I have another tutorial to share with you in the next couple of days! So, make sure you come back for a visit!

Have a fantastic weekend!!! Josee
