It's December and I'm excited...for oh so many reasons!  It's the holiday season, the birth month of Christ, presents, family...and so much more.  Although 2020 has caused us to have to rethink/reimagine how we've done things, our creativity and our ingenuity continue to thrive. So the 1st Sunday of every month, the Fabulous Fun Friday Stampers (FFF Stampers) meet virtually (we used to meet in person, pre-COVID) for Shoebox parties.  The premise of Shoebox parties is that each participant designs a card and when we met in person, they'd prepare 1 card kit for each stamper then we'd get together on the appropriate date and get to creating.  In this age of COVID, each participant still designs a card, but we post it to our Pinterest board  and then each participant searches their stash and creates the card with items they have.  Sometimes, we all have the same stamp/paper/stencil/die, etc. and sometimes we don't and thus use the card as inspiration.  Thi...

  Hello Sweets' Stampin' Friends! Welcome to November!! Here in Austin, TX so far we've had a mix of weather...cold (for us) some times and then hot as you know what at other times.  Just happy to be able to see another creative day.  How about you? Stampin' Up! just completed it's first all VIRTUAL OnStage event and it was amazing.  We got to see some of the new product suites in the upcoming catalog and some Sale-A-Bration sneak peeks...I think you'll be amazed...as a virtual attendee demonstrator, we'll be able to pre-order some of the items beginning next week, so stay tuned for some card projects featuring those sets.  In the meantime, let's take a look at what we've got coming up and add it to your calendar!!

Stampin' Up! is on the verge of releasing the newest catalog, the Jan - Jun 2021 mini catalog.  As a demonstrator who attended OnStage earlier this month, we were privileged to see some of the newest products before anyone else (all demonstrators have the opportunity to peruse the catalog in PDF form as well as to receive a hard copy with their first order) One of the things that always captures my attention is the glorious designer series paper (DSP) and this catalog is no different...the DSP is AMAZE-balls...yes, I said AMAZE-balls... What is a paper share?  A paper share is an opportunity for the participant(s) to receive a sampling of the identified DSP.  Some shares also include samples of the embellishments and ribbons...LOL...I'm not there yet...but will get there someday!  What's included in the paper share? This catalog, Stampin' Up! presents fourteen (14) new DSPs...not including the memories and more or the cards and more papers.   In addition to...
