StampingScrapping.com

I love the website www.stampingscrapping.com. They are a mom and pop website. Their prices and service are awesome. I have been in contact with the owner Cindy, this past week. I ordered a few things that were special order. I emailed her and she found what I needed. I placed the order Saturday and I will have it tomorrow. I love them....I have been ordering quite a bit this last month due to my classes I hold at home. Products are usually shipped the next day..How can you get any better. If you need anything, please check out their site. You won't be sorry :)

I love my Cricut Imagine

 I purchased a Cricut Imagine over the summer. I love the versatility of it. I can cut and print patterns with it. The only drawback of it, is that you can not cut chipboard with it. I kept my Cricut Expression for that reason. I also kept it because I host at my house and in case we need two machines I am ready...I am always ready but none the less. Here are a few examples of my Cricut Imagine machine

Stamp Party

Over the weekned I invited some friends over for stamping.It was a huge success. I had 7 girls over for stamping. It was a great time. My house is not very large so I had stations set up. I used my living room, dining room, and kitchen, It worked great having people rotate to the different areas. I love teaching. Wish I could quit my day job ( HAHA) I mean my night job to teach fulltime....I will post pictures soon. My next venture is host a flower design party with the McGill punches.....

Working on Valentine card for Hubby

I justed started to get into Magnolia stamps. I would look at other people's cards and admire them. I never thought I could create one. They were always so elegant and looked time consuming. So I finally tried Magnolia stamps. WOW!!! It wasn't time consuming at all. Once I picked out my colors, I was on my way. I am proud of how these cards turned out. My only decision is which one to give my hubby..LOL

Happy New Year

Happy New Year!! I started blogging last year. Obviously I didn't do alot of it. My goal this year is to blog more and post more of my kreations. I have been working on a lot of new cards. I am doing a card class at my home in 3 weeks. I love creating cards. I am also starting Wedding Invites for a friends daughter. Paper will be ordered Monday and I can start cutting when it arrives. I am excited to see how they will look. So I hope everyone has a great year!! Here's blogging to you.
