Friends in Bloom

Good Morning, Stampers!

The swap I have for you today features the Garden in Bloom stamp set. The FABULOUS
GO DIVAS swap is one I always look forward to. The ladies are so talented and I am always impressed with their talent!

You have to look close as it is tough to see in the photo, but I stamped the largest flower in Versamark ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. It fills in the white space with a subtle touch of color and adds a bit of dimension as well.

2015 Convention Swaps

Good Morning, Stampers!!

One of the highlights of attending the Stampin' Up! Convention is the SWAPPING! We attended a P.J. Party Swap where 30 of our fellow stampers dressed in their comfy p.j.'s.. SO fun!! Tammy and I were the only ones's that were not staying at the hotel. Walking 3 blocks from our hotel to where the swap was being held was a bit of an adventure! Never got so many awkward stares from strangers - we sure did give them a good laugh!

Here is where all the swap cards were lined up.

Then, we voted on our favorite card.

I decided to go Christmas (it IS Christmas in July!!)

Keeping it simple when having to make a large amount of

the same card is certainly the way to go!

Paper: Whisper White, Cucumber Crush, Gold Foil, Real Red DSP

Stampers LOVE My Kits!!

Dear Melissa I attended a local scrapbook weekend last month where there was another crafter in attendance who was working on your December and January Creative Cases. This was the first time I had seen anything like it, and I was intrigued. So, I ended up spending about an hour with her just “oohing and aahing” over all the projects and little gifts you included in each of the kits. The PDFs were so easy to follow and included simple instructions with lots of photos. I WAS SO IMPRESSED! Of course, my FOMO kicked in and asked her how I could get in on the kits myself. She gave me your contact information and I immediately signed up for the February kit. In fact, I ordered 6 of them for my upcoming craft weekend with my friends. We are SO EXCITED to dig into these boxes and make the birthday projects! It’s like a private monthly retreat created just for us! The kits are affordable, and the projects are so well-thought out. I really love all the little details on each of the projects, too. It’s so hard to find Stampin’ Up! projects for us “seasoned” stampers as it seems the company is shifting their gears to more “simple stamping”. I was disappointed in them until I saw your projects - they truly are one-of-a-kind, and we are so glad we found you! Kelly A. & the Missouri Stamping Sisters Manchester, Missouri

Really enjoying your creativity! Your projects are great no matter what level crafter you are! Addie T. Twin Falls, ID

I'm so happy I stumbed on to you! You have changed my mind when it comes to home-delivered craft kits! Amazing! You can really see how much thought is put into the kits each month. Pam D. Utica, NY.

I am so impressed with your Creative Case and More! I didn't know what to expect at first but you NAIL it every month! So much thought goes in and I really look forward to getting my box each month! Jill Y. Montgomery, AL.

I didn't know what to expect with the August Creative Case & More kit but BOY WAS I SURPRISED! I was so impressed with everything; from the shipping box, to the initial opening and seeing the gorgeous presentation, projects and surprises! You truly "WOWED" me! I'm already signed up for the September kit! Alivia W. Lakeport, CA.

I am always so impressed by your card designs! It's hard to find a designer that matches my style. I'm so glad I found you on Pinterest! Rhena M. Somers, WI.
