Stampin' & Scrappin' Machine!

What a fantastic weekend!  I was able to take off Wednesday & Friday and got a TON done!  Not only did I cook (yes me, COOK) a real turkey, cranberry relish to die for, 4 homemade pies, plus side dishes, AND I completely cleaned out the cabinets & pantry in the kitchen along with storage spots in the family room, cleaned the house, decked the halls AND scrapbooked and stamped a BUNCH!

I am having a blast scrapbooking and stamping!  Here is a super easy project I did using our Decor Elements and ribbon.  I filled it with marshmallows to make the red really pop! 

Too cute!

I also completed the scrapbook pages for this Thursday's Scrapbook Boot Camp.  I am thrilled with how these turned out and cannot wait to share the techniques with everyone this week. 

This card here uses the Dasher stamp which I LOVE!  It is so gorgeous!  I embossed it in silver, although it almost looks white here.  The Petals a Plenty Embossing folder for use with the Big Shot is GORGEOUS!  I can't wait to play with it some more.

 

I have a super fun Girls Night Out scheduled for Thursday, December 17th from 6:00-8:00.  This is a FREE event!  We will be creating a 12x12 2-page scrapbook spread and your choice of 1 of 2 card designs.  I have a yummy new recipe for Christmas Mimosas, refreshments, samples, and more!  Be sure to give yourself a fun evening out before the holiday rush.  Here is the scrapbook spread (you can choose your colors if you RSVP by December 10th).

Here are the two card choices - you choose one of these to create!

I am also hosting a class for My Digital Studio.  This is an INCREDIBLE program and I am really enjoying using it.  I am amazed by the versatility of this product.  Be sure to check out my calender of events on my Stampin' Up! website at http://www.emikowesterfield.stampinup.net/   I offer one stop shopping including gift wrapping and a handstamped card when Stampin' Up! products are ordered through me.  Share your wish list and my phone number with the gift buyers in your life and I will take care of the rest.  You can also order through my website for your convenience.  Have a fantastic week!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

I hope everyone has a full tummy and memories of a fantastic time spent with family and friends.

Upcoming Events

Howdy!  Hard to believe it is the end of November already!  I have been having so much fun playing with the Stampin' Up! My Digital Studio and other goodies I have purchased from the Holiday Mini catalog!  They have inspired me to share with you what I am learning and working on.

I just updated my events calendar at http://www.emikowesterfield.stampinup.net/ be sure to check out some of my upcoming classes including:  Scrapbook Bootcamp; Girls Night Out; Mini Vendor Fair; My Digital Studio Training Event; Direct Sales Business Booster Class; and my famous Scrap-a-Stack Event.  The Scrapbook Bootcamp is receiving an overhaul in January - check back for more information. 

Getting together with others to stamp, scrapbook and share is a great productive outlet.  I have been enjoying the past few months of carving out time for myself to stamp and scrapbook and hope you will be able to do the same for yourself.  We deserve to have "me time" too!

Have a great day!

Build-a-Bear Line ROCKS!

Stampin' Up! and Build-a-Bear teamed up to bring us a fantastic line of Build-a-Bear products!  The stamp sets, Designer Series Paper, and dies for the Big Shot are so cool!  Check out some of the 6x6 scrapbook pages I created using these.

I am loving this new Stampin' Up! Catalog! Here are some cute little boxes I created from the Big Shot Fancy Favors template. I plan on adding a witch, mummy, black cat, santa, reindeer and snowman soon. Too much fun! I have one "traditional" box as well. Great for party favors and gift cards. Can you imagine the possibilities? Have a Marvelous Monday!

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY EVERYONE!

I am so proud to be an American and thrilled to live in this great country of ours. It is individual Americans throughout history who have brought about positive change to this country. As I reflect on all I am thankful of, I also think of all the potential each of us has to make a positive difference to help keep this country continue being great.

My fellow Americans, today, as we celebrate our freedoms, think of something YOU can do to continue making this country great. Perhaps it is as simple as making a card for men and women serving our country overseas. Maybe it is on a grander scale of starting your own business to generate money and keep jobs in our country - whether that be 1 or 1,000 Americans. Fly your American flag with pride year round. If you don't own one, go and buy one and display it. There are so many things you and I can do that can make a difference and get this country back on track. I challenge you to join me in making this country a strong, great land again for our children and grandchildren to enjoy.

God Bless America and God Bless You!

Have a fabulous Fourth of July!
