Some sweet Thank You’s

Posted on July 5, 2008July 4, 2008 by Josee

Doesn’t it just make your day to receive Thank You cards? It seems so easy to forget the importance of saying Thank You. I know when I receive one, I want to "pass it on". I try to remember a few people that deserve a Thank You and get stamping! Is it time you do the same? Who deserve your thanks?!

One of my absolute favourite things in my business is working with my downline. They are the most wonderful group of ladies and over the past 6 years, we’ve grown to be such a close, loving group. I don’t know everyone in my group, but, I truly care about all of them. I wish I could have the time to talk to and meet them all cause I know they are truly INKredible!!! (That is exactly what my group is called: INKredible Canadian Stampers!)

Two of my wonderful team members have sent me Thank You cards recently and I thought I’d share them with you. It truly warmed my heart to receive these. I know I’ve received more than these 2 in the past and appreciate each one, but, I don’t always have a chance to share them!

 


Supplies used
Stamps: From the Garden Hostess set, Warm Words
Cardstock: Basic Black, Whisper White, So Saffron
Ink: Basic Black, So Saffron
Accessories: Sherbert Ribbon Originals, Black Gingham Ribbon

 
Supplies used
Stamps: Stitched Exotics, It’s Beautiful Wheel
Cardstock: Kraft, Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie, Wild Wasabi
Ink: Wild Wasabi, Pumpkin Pie, Rose Red
Accessories: Flower Fusion, Black Brad

Hope you enjoyed these lovely cards as much as I did. Now, go stamp your own Thank You card and send it to someone special! 
 

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great stamping day!   Josee

Fast Card Friday: It’s time for Christmas!

Posted on July 4, 2008July 4, 2008 by Josee

I know what you’re thinking…Christmas?! Yikes!!! I’m planning my Christmas in July Card Class and thought I’d show you a sneek peak of what we’ll be making. I found this idea on Ann Clemmer’s blog  and new it would be perfect to make. I’ve always loved the Lovely as a Tree set for Christmas and masuline cards so it was great to pull it out to create this lovely card.


Supplies used
Stamps: Lovely as a Tree, Wonderful Words, snowflake (can’t remember the set)
Cardstock: NIght of Navy, Shimmery White Cardstock
Ink: Night of Navy, Whisper White
Accessories: Dazzling Diamonds Glitter, 2-way Glue Pen

Not sure if you can see the glitter on the edge of the Shimmery White cardstock, but, it makes it so sparkly…like a winter wonderland!

Thought I’d also mention, with summer here and my kids being home, I won’t be posting as often as normal, but, will try to still post at least 1-3 times a week! I love to spend time with the kids while they’re home and it’s hard to commit too much time on the computer without getting in TROUBLE from them! *wink* Hope you’re having a wonderful summer so far!

 

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great stamping day!   Josee

Fast Card Friday: Carte Postale

Posted on June 27, 2008June 25, 2008 by Josee

Happy Friday! Hope you’ve had a great first week of summer! My kids and I have had a wonderful time doing some extra fun family stuff. We started going swimming at the outdoor pool and they’re already getting more comfortable in the water! My son has hated water on his head all his life and this week he actually dunked his whole head under water all by himself. I was so proud of him. It’s so hard to stay inside to work when the weather is so nice so we’ve taken the chance to have some outdoor fun. Hope you’re having a great week too!

The card for today features the set Carte Postale. If you’re a member of my downline who was in the top 15 of sales or in my first line selling over $1000…DON’T LOOK! This is the card I sent as an congrats this month for my INKredible Sellers!!!

Supplies used
Stamps: Carte Postale
Cardstock: River Rock, Very Vanilla, Always Artichoke, Le Jardin Designer Series Paper
Ink: River Rock, Always Artichoke

Accessories: Very Vanilla Grosgrain Ribbon, 1 1/4 circle punch

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great stamping day!   Josee

Birthday Card Contest Winners

Posted on June 24, 2008June 24, 2008 by Josee

This past weekend was my birthday and to celebrate I posted a card contest on my blog. I said I’d pick my 2 favourites for winners…but, instead-I let my 2 oldest kids pick and you know what?! They are the true kids of a stamper!

I asked the individually to pick their 2 favourites AND they picked the same 2!!! Isn’t that funny?! So, here are the winners:

Congrats to Genevieve Martel, one of my awesome downline from Quebec! Here’s the card she created:

The second winner…excites me and I’m so glad my kids picked her !! I was sent a contest entry by Melissa Hanlon from AUSTRALIA!! It’s the first mail I’ve ever received from Australia and even the postage stamp excited me! Here’s her entry:

Thanks to everyone for the cards and wishes. I had a great birthday! Melissa and Genevieve, I’ll be sending a special treat shortly!

Before I go, I just have to show you the cutest picture ever…I just can’t help it. My son, GRADUATED from Senior Kindergarten last week and he was so excited to be going into grade 1. I can’t believe how big they get so quickly!!! Here’s a cute photo of him accepting his diploma:

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great stamping day!   Josee
