Creative Scrap Page

Posted on January 22, 2008 by Josee

This scrapbook page created by Sue Teed (one of my club members) uses the Creative Licence Simply Scrappin’ Kit from the last catalogue. What I love about the Stampin’ Up! Scrappin’ Kits is how all the colours in the die-cuts coordinate with the cardstock in the package. Everything is meant to coordinate beautifully and it really does make creating scrapbook layouts so easy.

All the cardstock in the packages included are textured which adds that special touch to your page.

Isn’t Sue’s son absolutely adorable!!

Thanks for sharing! Josee

Stampin’ Up! surprises National Guard members with cruise

Posted on January 18, 2008 by Josee

KSL News) The CEO of a Utah company surprised some lucky Utah National Guard members with a special "tour of duty": a seven day cruise to Bermuda.

The Utah-based scrapbook company Stampin’ Up donated 85 cruise cabins to the guard to thank the soldiers for their service.

The unsuspecting winners received the good news today. One guardsman felt overwhelmed by the unexpected gift. "This has been kind of a dream come true. We’ve been married 22 years and I’ve been trying to get my wife on a cruise, just a three- or five-day cruise," Lt. Col. David Osborne said.

Many of the guard members selected for the cruise have served multiple tours of duty overseas.

Way to go Shelli! Just another reason why I love this wonderful company. They just care about others so much!

Have a HAPPY STAMPING DAY! Josee

Cards by my 7 year old daughter

Posted on January 16, 2008 by Josee

My 7 year old daugher just got some pen pals this past week. They’ve agreed to hand stamp a card for each other each month and write a small note. She’s so excited. She loves to stamp and always wants to join my card swaps. I thought this would be a good alternative for her.

She even looked at splitcoaststampers to find a card to case this idea. So cute!

This card she designed all by herself. I think she’s going to be a future demonstrator some day, don’t you?! lol

PLEASE leave her a comment and let her know how great they are, she’d love to hear!

Have a HAPPY STAMPING DAY! Josee
