It’s the Day! What Can I Say, er….Bark!?!
Today should be filled with fun and merriment!
It’s April Fool’s Day! And yet there’s a lot to celebrate!
We have 12 New Demonstrators in our community.
We scoped a live video on Periscope last night.
Our 24/7 Stampers and their friends had a grrrrreat Sale-A-Bration
And yesterday, while Ann was helping Gail mount her stamps and I was chewing on a scrap of paper, I came up with TWO grrreat ideas.
And this is one of them.
The Hardest Card to Pick
Today’s card was a really hard one to pick to share. Why? Because it’s the last card I’ll be making for Sale-A-Bration!
Yep. Sale-A-Bration ends today.
I don’t know how many Sale-A-Brations that Stampin’ Up! has done. They’re 28 years old this year, but they didn’t do it in the early years. I just know that some things are always the same:
A Rose By Any Other Name
One can never have too many roses! We have them in our yard. Do you have some too?
But today’s rose card is a bit different. We did it totally out of the box in different ways….and I’m here to let the secret out.
I Broke a Rule
I’m admitting it! I broke a rule today!
I’m just so excited that I can hardly get over myself!
Stamping Upside Down
Have you ever stamped upside down? We’re trying to!
By barking that, I mean that instead of stamping late at night like we’ve done for years, Ann is attempting to be more like the real world and stamp in the daytime.
So far, it’s been more of a challenge than you might think.
Happy Easter!
Not going to bark much today. This is Ann’s favorite holiday and we just couldn’t let it go by without thanking those of you who sent us cards.
So, of course, we’re sending all of you one too.
I’m Going to Miss Lost Lagoon
Have you noticed that we’re stuck in a Lost Lagoon world right now? That’s because we have a couple packs of it and it’s going away.
Yep. It will be on the retirement list that’s coming out sometime around April 15th. Or maybe the end of April.
In any case, all of these are going away. and if you don’t get them now, you’ll have a chance that they’ll run out before you get to them.
Which one of these colors will you miss the most?
Need a Quick Easter Gift They Won’t Forget?
It’s Good Friday and your schedule is booked. You need a special Easter gift for someone special. What do you do?
Paper Pumpkin to the rescue! AND you can get a free stamp set to boot!
Everything Old is New Again
Have you noticed how all the stuff that came out before I was born is coming around as a new thing?
So much of today’s music is sampled from old music. Whazzup with that?
When the subject of my blog’s 10 year anniversary came up, Ann looked back to the old original site. It’s there, but it’s really not open to the public. I’m almost ashamed to look at it.
BUT there are a few things like old issues of Ann’s newsletter that have some interesting things like the Kahlua Cake recipe she’s making for Easter and an old version of this card.
If you’ve been with Ann a long time, it was from…
An Invitation to Tea
When’s the last time that you got together with a friend to chat? Yes, a face to face chat with no screens!
Imagine the fun you’d have!
Did you know that Ann used to live in England before I was born. She loved all 5 years that she and my favorite huMAN lived there. And she told me that it seemed like everyone believed that a cup of tea would solve everything.
You’re Not Just the Sprinkles, You’re the Glitter!
It’s Tuesday! And that means that it’s time for something special! (And we’ll be sharing the Weekly Deals too!)
Now you may save your glitter for special cards for special people. That’s why we’re using the limited edition Glitter Tape that you can get free right now!
Birthday Card for a Best Friend
We got such nice emails about the card we sent our February clients this week. Aw shucks! Both my gal pal (& design partner) Doodles and I are humbled that you liked them so much.
SO…
I thought I’d do one that was inspired by that card. If you remember….or if you received one….it was in…
I Read About Your Birthday
Where do you get your card making ideas from? I’m sure you don’t read about them in the paper!
It’s really funny how I can sit with Ann and look at a card. We look at each other and then I find a spot to perch on while she makes the card.
We Interrupt This Bark for a Sympathy Card Idea
We NEVER like to do a post like this, but we must say farewell to one of our 24/7 Stampers. Her name is Wanda and she lived in New Mexico.
But Ann’s been knowing Wanda a very long time – even longer than…
Bright Balloon Birthday Card
Our friend Shannon at Stampin' Up! has been on a mission to bring back birthdays with her new stamp that is perfect for the outside of your envelopes. Yes! She designed it herself and is sending birthday cards to over 1,200 stampers! (Ann got one that we featured...
