Wow Wednesday ~Altered Vintage Projects!

Hey there Bleeps!
Well, I barely made it for this to be a Wow Wednesday, LOL!! I altered some items recently to put in a little boutique along with about 35 cards....hopefully I can sell some stuff.......




Anyways, on both projects I used the new Botanical Gazette DSP from the Occasions Mini....I love that paper!!! I bought a little silver tray from a thrift store awhile back.....after seeing some altered ones on the net before!!! Then my mom sent me this vintage spoon, the handle is bent back....I'm assuming for babies when they ate??? I just covered them with paper and added some embellies.....too easy and lots of fun too!!!
Anyways,thanks for stopping by and have a great rest of the week! ;)

SpringTime Vintage in Blue!

G'Mornin' Bleeps!
I hope you had a Blessed Weekend! For today's card I used The new DSP from Stampin' Up! for the Design Team Challenge over at Late Night Stampers. We were asked to make a spring/Easer card....so I used the gorgeous SpringTime Vintage papers from the Occasions Mini catty!! I think the blue ones are my fave......so, I hated to cut it up!!! I used another one of my Grandma Tanner's buttons, which I think adds to the cards vintage look. It will take me awhile to get used to using these small little flowers from this new stamp set, also in the Occasions Mini ....they are two stamp stamps ,which I love....but are smaller stamps than I'm used to and took me a little bit to get it right....then, after trying so danged hard.....I decided to cut those little flowers out by hand.....which was a little time consuming, LOL!!! Then, DH said I needed another one on the bottom of the bow....so, then of course, I had to add it.....sometimes I wish  I had a craftin' friend at my beck and call.....just to ask those questions I run to him for....you know.....how does this look? does this need something? what's missing? LOL!!!! I think he personally likes to torture me and tell me stuff, just to mess with me (and get me outta his hair!!!), LOL!!!

But in the end, I liked it, or are the ribbon tails too much? I hope they don't look like octopus tentacles or something and what about the pearls and butterflies....too much too???? Hope it's not too busy for ya',  LOL.....I wonder what hubby would say......no, forget it.....I'm sooooo done!!!LOL!!!!

Have a fabby day and thanks so much for stoppin' by! ;)

Exciting News Today!!!


click here to watch a video from Stampin' Up!


Last year about this time....I decided that I wanted to take my Stampin' Up! 'hobby' and try to make it a 'business'!!! Since then I have signed up one demonstrator and over the weekend I'm happy to say I just signed up another one!!! **SQUEAL** I have a small online stamp club (that helps me meet my miniums), will be teaching two upcoming classes at the local library.....I've had some online sales over this past year of peeps I don't even know!.....I've had a few workshops this year.....what else, hummmmm....OH yeah, I've gotten some FREE stamp sets from SU! and I've already earned several sets because of my sales (and we still have a month to go!) thanks to SALE-A-BRATION.....I'll be getting those sets whenever the Sale-a-bration promotion ends!!!

Today, I got promoted with a certificate from Satmpin' Up! and a logo pin in the mail, big surprise!!! I know it seems silly to most, but considering where I was just a year ago....I'm ecstatic!!! It's hard building and starting your business....but SU! makes it so easy!!! Their products sale themselves and are of high quality......and I think when people generally see a sincere love and passion for what you are doing, I believe it's catchy!!! I truly love Stampin' Up! and their products!!! I love making cards, scrapbooking and 3-d projects!! I love to talk about and teach others about SU!, too!!! I'm not the best demonstrator out there and I'm certainly not the most successful!! But, I truly get encouraged to see how far you can go with this business......trips,cruises,earnings and FREE products come to mind!! I get inspired when I see it CAN be done.....that successful demo that I see, COULD be me one day!!! ;)

I want to make this next year even better!!! Will you help me reach my goals?
 Please consider me to be your Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.....and I will love more peeps under me too!!!
 So, whether you want to place an order, or want to do something fun and start your own business....I'm here for you....just contact me today and we can chat about it!!! ;)
