More quick & cute swaps from the demo meeting

Here's a bunch more of those great swaps from our February 2011 SOMH Demonstrators meeting.The theme was Occasions Mini Catalog and Sale A Bration Rewards merchandise.

Easter Blossoms and more cards from the SOMH meeting

Had a wonderful Song of My Heart Demonstrators meeting last week with a great card swap. Isn't this one gorgeous? Kathy just joined our group in November--clearly a lot of talent there! Here are some more great ones from the swap. I went home with a lot of cute, quick ideas!

More to come! And be sure to contact me if you are a WI demo with no meetings to attend--we'd love to adopt you into our fun family of stampers. We meet on the second Monday night of every month year round.

 

Elements of Style Stunner from Diane

I gasped out loud at this beauty when I opened the envelope! Diane Vander Galien sent me this lovely thing for my birthday--isn't it just pure awesomeness? She is truly an artist and I am very lucky she is in my adopted downline.

I am doing a complete and utter CASE (Copy & Steal Everything--something I literally never do!) of this card for my upcoming Incredible Cards Club. You can make it, too, by emailing me to RSVP to IC Club this Monday night at six thirty: zwolaneks@att.net We have one spot open in this eight member hostess club, which requires a $25 minimum order each month, on the fourth Monday night. Join us for a fun girls-only night out!

Brownies for breakfast and other highlights of my day

I crossed a fun sales milestone today! I was looking at my Stampin' Up reports this morning and discovered I have sold $125,000.70 as of this morning. Isn't that funny? The number looked so weird! Anyway, it was a fun thing to see. Many, many thanks to all my awesome customer friends for making that happen in the last five whirlwind years!

I'm also having a good day because I slept through the night for the first time since February third, when my three crowns were prepped and my ordeal began. I took pain stuff at eleven and didn't wake up until seven! I feel like a new woman (the brownies I ate for breakfast probably helped). I have had to take pain meds off and on today but I do think things are finally starting to subside. Thank God! I am getting a mouth guard tomorrow but I can tell you it will be a LONG time before I get up the nerve to darken the door of the dentist office again to have those other crowns done. YUCK!

Gonna leave you with a saying that made me laugh OUT LOUD yesterday at Calendar Club (that's where I got the brownies). "If God invented anything better than chocolate, He must have kept it for Himself." True!

Calendar Club cards for February '11

We had a great time at Calendar Club last night! Be sure to RSVP for the next one--we meet at 6:30 on the third Monday night of each month from February through July. We make 12 cards each meeting, four each of three different designs. Your card stash will be back up to snuff in no time! Then in August, we switch to making Christmas cards, for a total of 48 Christmas Cards by the end of November. Email me for details: zwolaneks@att.net

This first card was everyone's favorite last night. It was super easy but the Iridescent Ice embossing powder was a real wow! Coupled with the black and white color scheme, and a dash of bright red and the new red Glimmer Paper, it was very eye-catching. It also featured the Framed Tulips embossing folder for the Big Shot.

I always have the full sentiment set out (Heard from the Heart, not shown), so everyone got to make wedding, anniversary and engagement cards--whatever they needed.

This next one was very fun to make--we all agreed the coloring was just so relaxing, it was wonderful after the stressy day some of us had experienced! This card was made by inking up the Bella Toile Background stamp with Versamark ink, and adding the Stampin' Pastel chalks in various colors. Love that bird punch--instant class. Again, some made birthday, some made wedding, others made "thinking of you" type cards with the sentiments from Sincere Salutations.

Finally, we made four cards with the Thoughts & Prayers set, which has sentiments that are very suitable for either get well, sympathy or serious/terminal illness. That is probably the single most useful set I have purchased in the last five years, frankly! And the design of the card is simple enough that it works for any subdued occasion or a masculine card as well. I always feel like it's important to have sympathy cards right to hand, as there is often very little time (and no time to craft) right at the crucial moment.

YOU could also be filling your card box with lovely cards and checking off those names on your list of people who need a pick-me-up! Contact me ASAP to join the Calendar Club for just $15 per month, with no order necessary, and enjoy a night out every month chatting and stamping with like-minded crafters.

Birthday cards this week

Got some doozies in the mail from friends and fellow demos this week! Thanks for remembering my special day. I really super-duper needed "pick me ups" the last two weeks, too, with all the craziness, so I doubly appreciate them.

I'm always looking for easy birthday card ideas because I send every single one of my customers a birthday card (WITH a coupon!). If, that is, IF I have their birthday on file... so if you're one of my ordering customers and you haven't gotten any such cuteness in the mail from me, zip me an email with your special date and see what happens!
