Just Hours Away - SALE-A-BRATION IS COMING YOUR WAY!!!!

That's right it's count down to Sale-A-Bration and it's only hours away.  Hope you're as excited as I am!

I couldn't pass up this opportunity to show you one last beautiful sneak peak...............isn't this card beautiful.  It was created by the very talented Sherri Barron and posted on her fabulous blog, Fun to Stamp with Sherri.  This baroque style stamp is aptly called "Bliss" and can be found on page 10 of the SAB catalogue. 

Along with this posting you will find some additional sneak peaks on Sherri's blog and these were created by the incredible Amy Ward.  Check out both these sites, and you'll be impressed I'm sure.

Sale-A-Bration Count Down - only 2 more days!! Whoo Hoo!

With only two days to go until the Sale-A-Bration 2011 cattie is released I thought I would make good on my promise to share some more sneak peaks of great projects made with some of the Sale-A-Bration free products and accessories.  So without further ado I'm going to give you the link for Pamela Ledue's great blog "Stamp It With Love".  I've been following Pam's blog for a while now and I can assure you she really does Stamp It With Love..............she has so many great creations on her blog!  Here is one of the sneaks that Pamela has showcased and I'm sure you'll agree it is really sweet:

Check out the other samples she has posted and leave her a comment to let her know how great they are, and that you've come from my blog, I'm sure she'll appreciate it! 

Count Down to Sale-A-Bration - Only 5 Days To Go

Thought I'd share another sneak peak at one of the wonderful stamp sets that Stampin' Up is offering in the upcoming Sale-A-Bration 2011 catalogue.  This card by Karla Anders is just tooooo cute!  She's made it using a set called "Punch Bunch" and features what I'm sure will be a very popular Sale-A-Bration stamp.   Just click on this link and you can check out her blog Work of Heart, it's awesome.  You can also join Karla and her friends Rachel Yurkanin, Deb Naylor, and Jacquie Craig at their Sisters in Stamping blog (a site dedicated to showcasing Stampin' Up samples) where you'll see other awesome cards made with the six stamp sets featured in the Sale-A-Bration catalogue.  I know you're going to fall in love with them too!

Count Down to Sale-A-Bration 2011

Hi everyone, hope you're having a fantastic day!  Mine's been great so far.  I've been on the golf course all morning, had a great round and I've got the rest of the day ahead of me.  Couldn't ask for more; except for stamping time that is!   And I hope to get some in! 

From now until the start of Sale-A-Bration on January 25th, I plan to share some samples made by other Stampin' Up Demos that I'm sure you're going to enjoy as much as I did.  So without any more ado, I'm going to share a beautiful little 3x3 card set made by Diane Sisneros.  Diane who is an avid stamper and blogger has done a fantastic job of showcasing the 2011 Incolors by combining  cardstock, DSP and Ribbon along with the UBER cute stamp set "Punch Bunch", when she designed these 5 little cards.  Check out the pics of the individual cards by clicking on her name link above.  I know you'll want to drop by her site to see them. Have fun and enjoy and leave her a comment!

Borders and Corner Punches

Punches are a quick and easy way to add interest, dimension, and color to your cards, tags, and scrapbook pages. You can glue punched shapes directly onto your projects or layer a sheet of card stock that has been punched over a coordinating card stock for a reverse effect.

Stampin' Up has added eight new punches to its already great lineup of punches.  These new, sleek punches have a large cutting surface and offer better punching leverage and cutting precision, and the sleeker body makes them easier to store.If you haven't seen them yet, check them out in the new Mini Occasions and Sale-A-Bration catties.
