Found the Camera

OK, I have found the camera and uploaded the photos. I am going to try and get a few posted today and tomorrow. Most of the holiday stuff is out of date for current ideas, but maybe you can look ahead to next year.

Here is a picture of the small gift I gave my downline this year at our annual Holiday party. It was super simple but fun to do. The magnets are from the SU Convention last Summer. They match our Ginormous Flowers stamp set. I also gave them a ribbon charm from convention. They liked those a lot. Since SU ran out of those early I was lucky to get enough.


Also in December I went on a retreat with some fellow stampers. We each brought a project to share. Here is what I came up with. I wanted to use the Snow Blossom Punch in a not so snowy way. I first punched the snow blossom then used the scallop punch over the top of it. Then added lots of faux stitching. I also used the All in a Row set for some

After the holidays I headed to Palm Springs for the annual Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference. It was so nice to get away from the grey Seattle weather and sick kids. Love the kids, but I can do without the croup, fevers and snot. Yes I did say snot. :) In my spare time there we toured around a bit and I spent a lot of time resting and finishing book 7 of the Harry Potter series. Here is a picture of my 3D swap. I swear I have a picture of my card sample, but I still have to track that one down. Anyway these are altered Sweethearts Boxes covered with Cutie Pie paper and stamped with the Have a Heart Stamp Set.

That's it for right now. Tomorrow is Shawn's Birthday and I finally found an excuse to get him out of the house so I can wrap presents etc. More to come. I promise.
