I'm Stamping!

It's like a miracle! Life has been so hectic lately with both Stampin' Up! related events and family life. Skyeler started school 2 weeks ago so that's been an interesting new addition to my schedule but he loves it so it's all good! Here is a picture of Skye on his first day...he was so excited!

The past few weeks have held a lot of fun things as well including club night, my 1st Annual Hostess Appreciation party, classes, workshops and more. I have pictures from some of these and I'll post them over the next few days.

Between prepping for my upcoming workshops and a 3 day craft show (yikes!) I haven't had any time for "me" stamping. You know where you just sit down and make a card because you feel like it? But I did that on Monday and I made quite a few! Here is my favourite one of the day. I've really been using my colour coach and experimenting with colours that I don't use often....or to be more honest in this case, never use! This is Crumb Cake which is a fave with Bravo Burgundy and More Mustard. WHAT?! But it's so pretty! Guess that's why the make the colour coach because I would have never put those all together. I love the way it turned out. This is the Level Two hostess set Apple Blossoms which you can earn by hosting a workshop and I have been dying to break it open and use it because there are so many cute and unique images in it.

Well, I'm heading back down to my stamping studio to finish up my swaps for the Hamilton Regionals this Saturday. I've been waiting for the new Spider Web embossing folder to arrive and my man in brown just dropped it off so I can finally get them all done!

Busy, Busy

Sorry to have left you hanging for so long! I've been super busy these past couple of weeks. I'm trying to completely organize my basement in order to overhaul my stamping area (which I am VERY excited about!).

Plus I'm working on swaps for the Stampin' Up! Regional event in Hamilton. As you can see by the pictures, it is a lot of work! It didn't help that I chose a rather labour intensive design but I love it and hopefully the other demos will as well. I'm starting with 50 and may do more time permitting. I'm also working on cutting for my upcoming classes and workshops.

Speaking of workshops, GET YOURS ON THE CALENDAR! :) Yes, I was yelling because I am sooooo psyched for the new Holiday Mini. It knocked my socks clean off I tell ya. My September and October workshops will be focusing on fall and Halloween projects and they are just darlin'....well, and a little spooky as the case may be.

Most of all, I have been getting my stamp on baby! I have created more in the past few days than I have in a long time and it has put a huge smile on my face. If your stamp stuff has been collecting dust, pull it out! I'm telling you, it does wonders to hear the tap-tap of that rubber. So, long story short, I will have some fab projects to post for you in the upcoming days. I won't be around tomorrow since I'll be helping my sis-in-law (to be!) put together favors and whatnot for her wedding but I will be back to MOJO with ya'll on Monday!

Until then, take my advice and get a little bit stampy....I promise you, you'll be so glad you did!
