A Christmas in August

Once a month, on the first Sunday of the month, the Fabulous Fun Friday Stampers gather together for our Shoebox Card swap.

What is a Shoebox Swap? In our swap, the coordinator, me, picks the theme and each participant designs a project within the parameters and creates card kits for the number of confirmed attendees. All the kit parts and pieces are placed in a "shoebox" and passed around til everyone creates the card. At the end of the day, you leave the event with several ideas.

So this month, our theme was "Christmas in August" and our projects had to include ribbon. There were seven (7) of us. Take a look and see what the crew crested. I'm always amazed at the talent of the ladies I stamp with.

(Note: our group consists of Stampin' Up! and non-Stampin' Up! demonstrators. We set no limitations on brands that can be used or whether current or retired products are used), but the majority of us are either demonstrators or current Stampin' Up! customers. I hope you enjoy their creativity. If you do, please leave a comment and let them know.

In The Moment January - June 2022 Mini Catalog Sneak Peak

Hello, all! Thank you for joining me for another Stamping with Friends Blog Hop! For those of you who are unfamiliar, Stamping with Friends is a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators who share our love of card making with you through monthly blog hops with various themes. This month, we are sharing with you sneak peeks from the January - June 2022 Mini Catalog. If you've come from Mo Rootes' blog, then you saw her project using the Stampin' Up! Simply Marbleous Designer Series Paper (DSP) . I hope these and the other projects serve to inspire your creativity. Speaking of catalogs, if you don't have a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and would like a catalog, reach out to me. I'd love to get one out to you and to serve as your demonstrator. For my contribution to this blog hop, I chose the "In the Moment" set. I fell in love with this set, "In The Moment", the moment I opened my order and saw it. This was another of the FREE swag bag produc...

Hello Fall Y'all! - Pretty Pumpkins

Welcome and Happy Fall Y'all! Thanks for stopping by Sweets' Stampin' Creations, where I share card projects created using Stampin' Up! products. It's time for another Stamping With Friends blog hop! I'm hopping with some awesome paper crafters and stampers from the Stamping With Friends Facebook Group. For this post, it's all about Fall. I love this time of year...although I live in Texas and don't get to experience the changing of the seasons as dramatically as my college years when I lived in Worcester, MA...I still remember the colors of the season and the changing of temperatures from hot to cool (not cold). Fall, the time of the year between Summer and Winter (usually between September and December) heralds in pumpkin season (pumpkin spice, pumpkin pie...you get the drift), soup season, leaves changing colors, cooler weather, apple picking (I've never done that), etc. T here are so many ways to celebrate this season of the year. ...
