Studio Club Members Only Night - March 1

New Special Event Just for YOU!

Studio Club members! This night is for us:) I have a special project just for you! We are going to play with the Secret Garden Bundle.  This sample was created by a fellow demonstrator, Mary Jo Price Williams.  Isn't it lovely?!  I didn't want to spoil the surprise of what we were making :)  So, be sure to bring your tool kit, a snack to share and your bunny slippers and prepare for some great fun! Please RSVP by Thursday, February 28th. :)

Best of Birthdays Blog Tour!

We are all so excited to be celebrating Stampin' Up!'s 25th Anniversary!!!  They are offering a stamp set every month that brings some of the best of the category for that month.  January set is "The Best of Birthdays"  Most of these stamps come from beloved, retired stamp sets that were real favorites when they were for sale.  Now, we can purchase this set for a limited time (Till March 2014).  These sets are each priced affordably at $14.95.  The extra special twist that Stampin' Up! has added is that now, if we collect 6 of these "Best of" sets, we earn a FREE STAMP SET ($14.95 value!!)  Collect all 12 and earn 2 FREE sets!   How cool is that?!!

Now for the blog tour!  Each month, we will feature a new set for 25 stops on the blog tour!  That means you will have 25 NEW Ideas to use this set to create!!  Woohoo!  I can't wait to see what everyone created!!

Best of Birthdays - January Set

I chose to make a card that is made using Patio Party Designer Series Paper, the Peekaboo Frames Die, and the Make a Cake Stamp Set in addition to our featured stamp set.  I love how this "you're the icing on the cake" image hides perfectly inside this little frame.   I will have a tutorial on my blog for this card on Monday, if you would like to stop back and see the steps:)

Your next stop on the tour will be made by clicking the blog tour icon below.  Happy touring!
