Fabulous Friday Sale-a-Bration sneak peek!!!!

  Happy Friday!  I know Christmas is just around the corner, but this week we're looking ahead to January and the start of Sale-a-Bration (SAB) for our Fabulous Friday projects over on the Sisters in Stamping blog.  Stampin' Up! demonstrators had the opportunity to earn these items a month early and I am happy to be doing a non-holiday project for a change. 

   EEEK!  I am so excited about the Sale-a-Bration offerings this year and I know you will be, too, when you get your hands on the brochure!  Unfortunately, I can't share the brochure with you or show you pictures of any of the actual products, but we are allowed to share finished projects.  My card above features the new Sweet Sorbet designer series paper (GORGEOUS!) and the You're Lovely stamp set which has two images that coordinate with the Deco Labels framelits for the Big Shot (love it!).  You can earn either of these exclusive SAB items for FREE with a qualifying $50 order during the Sale-a-Bration period of January 28th - March 31st!!  Aren't the colors in the designer paper just so pretty and soft - perfect for your Spring projects!  Several of the new In Colors are featured including crisp cantaloupe and pistachio pudding... yummy!

  I love the sentiment "Live Happy" - the You're Lovely stamp set includes both this one and "I Like You" which will be great for Valentine's cards, right?   I colored my flowers with crisp cantaloupe and calypso coral markers to pull in colors from the DSP... not sure actual flowers in nature look like this since all I seem to be able to grow are weeds.

  The cute little border of 5 flowers is also an image in this stamp set... rather than coloring them in I used the border to add a little pizzazz to my otherwise simple banner.  I dressed each up with a small rhinestone accent and ta-da, a fun card!  Thanks so much for stopping by today... for even more sneak peeks at Sale-a-Bration selections, please be sure to hop on over to the Sisters in Stamping blog later this afternoon. 

  Have a wonderful weekend - hope it's not too crazy busy for you as you get your last-minute Christmas to-do items done!  Carve out a little time to get into your craft room for some stamping therapy...

Fabulous quick and easy gift idea

  Christmas is less than two weeks away and you need to have some quick and easy gifts on hand for teachers, neighbors, Sunday School classmates or even unexpected guests  ... what do you do?  You whip up a couple of these fabulous gifts and have them ready!  By now I think you've guessed that our theme for Fabulous Friday this week on the Sisters in Stamping blog is quick and easy gift ideas... we're here to help you keep your sanity during the craziness of the holidays.  Think of it as stamp therapy!!

  I put some chocolate-covered pretzels in a cello bag and added a hand-stamped tag and then dropped them into a cute Christmas mug... start to finish it took me about 15 minutes (and that was mostly for the tag!).  Can't get much quicker and easier than that, right?!  Did you happen to pick up some of the gusseted cello bags from our Clearance Rack Blitz this week?  You get 25 (and they're food-grade!) for just $1.59... if you hurry, you can still get some before they run out!!

  I cheated and picked up a bag of Rold Gold dark dipped chocolate covered pretzels (YUM!) but you could certainly make home-baked goodies and fill the cello bags.  I also love to bargain shop for Christmas mugs when they go 75% off right after Christmas and have them for next year just for this very purpose.

  Thanks for stopping by today!  For even more quick and easy gift inspiration, please be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog later this afternoon.  To purchase any of the products used with today's project please use my online store as I will be tied up at a big swim meet all weekend cheering for my kids... all online orders of any amount this month can choose a free single tutorial from this list here.  If you purchase $50.00-$99.99 you'll get TWO tutorials AND a stampin' rewards punch.  Spend $100+ and receive THREE tutorials and two stampin' rewards punches.  If you reach $150+ you'll also receive $25 in free stampin' rewards (also known as hostess benefits).  Thanks so much for visiting and have a fabulous weekend!
