Fun with “Girlfriends!”

Posted on May 19, 2008 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 May 16, 2008May 16, 2008 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

I need your help!
