New Toys
Just because it's red & green doesn't mean that it's a Christmas card! We had such a fun day yesterday doing the last of three Master Classes where Ann showcased the new not-so-mini catalog items and gave some tips. She made this ribbon...
Gabby, Gabby, Gabby!
You stole my heart yesterday flying through the air & dancing all over those London Olympics Gymnastic events! Congratulations on the gold medal, Gabby! While we were waiting yesterday, Ann did two online stampin' classes for the Master Stamper...
First a Card, Then a Treat
Originally I thought Ann was making this card for me, but she made the right decision making it for my favorite huMAN. She (GASP!) handcut around the image & then threw a couple 3/4" Whisper White circles to brighten it up. Can't usually put...
It’s a Big Day!
I've been sitting on my paws just waiting for August 1st to roll around so I could spill the beans! Last month, the stampers that came over to start their Christmas cards in July got a chance to play with the new Ornament Keepsakes Bundle. It's...
What a Kick Off to the Summer Olympics!
My predesessor, Johnny Walker, was born in England. Jack Russell Terriers are rooted in British soil. So I'm sure that you know that we watched the Olympic opening ceremonies. YIKES! What a party! So I helped Ann with a special card...
A Little Thank You
Every now & then we come across a card that looks grrrrrreat when you hold it in your paws, but just doesn't photograph well. This little thank you card is just that card. It just looks way better in real life. And thank YOU for all your support &...
I’ve Got a Secret
I've got a secret. I'm not supposed to tell. The easy card using the Stampin' Up! Blooming with Kindness stamp set has a secret. I promise I'll tell you on Friday, but I thought you'd enjoy this for right now. The color combo...
Reason to Smile & Celebrate!
Do you have your Reason to Smile set yet? Ann will be releasing an exclusive video to those of you who get the Reason to Smile set from us before the end of the month. But before I share the Reason to Smile project, I have to share our reason to...
Quick Christmas Card
I told Ann that it was far too long between videos! Don't you agree with me? She can't post them ALL on the Master Stamper - especially when I'm the director! Now you may think that it's too early for Christmas Cards, but I beg to differ. ...
Desperately Seeking Susan
Susan & Barbara are friends. I'm friends with Barbara & Ann is, well, you know that Ann's main job is opening the patio door & making sure that my every wish is attended to. But there is one wish that Ann cannot fulfill. She can't...
If the Boot Fits
Here's a great swap from a great stamper named Sheila from way out West. She was kind enough to give Ann this cool card using the Stampin' Up! Bootiful Occasions stamp set. You'd love being on our team of demonstrators. You meet all...
Good News to Share!
Ann called me with tears in her voice. Of course, I was concerned. I am elated to share with you the good news that I earned Founders Circle Honors for Ann again this year. (That means she made it as one of the top 100 Demonstrators in the United...
Ritzy Glitzy Red Hat Moment
My homework for this week is to come up with a card for the Red Hat Ladies to make at the Ritzy Glitzy Red Hat Convention in Sacramento next month. The theme is Rhinestone Cowgirl Stampede & do I have a card for them! We like to keep with the red &...
Color is the Key!
A few days ago we shared a picture that we knew just wasn't quite right. Ann wanted a red card, but angels & red just don't look right together! At leasrt they don't look as right as they do with Island Indigo! You can click on this small...
Christmas in July
A little snow on your Christmas card will surely help bring the heat down around here. Did I bark CHRISTMAS! But it's July! It's not supposed to get over 100 today. That's a very good thing because we'll be kicking off our...
