Birthday Delivery Cake

Who’s having a Birthday?  The Birthday Delivery stamp set has turned out to be a fun suite to play with.  When I first saw this set at On Stage I wasn’t a fan but I knew everyone would change my mind.  I cased this card from Mary Fish — tweaked a couple of small things but I love how it turned out.  It is so bright and cheery.   Hmmm….who has the next birthday that I can mail this to.

Deck the Halls

I know it’s a little early for Deck the Halls but I thought after yesterday’s post a Christmas card was ok for today, besides I didn’t want you to forget that you can order the Carols of Christmas stamp set early.  It will be in the Holiday Catalog next month but you get a little sneak peek now so you can start getting ready to make those Christmas cards.  Don’t you love the simplicity of this card — very simple stamping, some great designer paper, a little ribbon and a piece of the Gold Metallic Doily.

Is it too early for Christmas??

Is it too early for Christmas??  My response is NO.  We do need to start planning our paper crafting projects early, right.  Of course we won’t bypass the other holidays that are right around the corner either.

This past weekend I attended another demonstrator group’s Holiday Catalog event.  This event was for demonstrators only.  My daughter, Katie, went with me — she’s been a demonstrator for 12 years.  She always takes our “selfie” picture when we are stamping together.

This event was put on by Meg, Julie, Mary Ellen and Kim (she couldn’t be there with us).  It was of course Holiday Themed so Meg, Julie & Mary Ellen came out wearing ugly Christmas sweaters — so much fun.

Mary Ellen had multiple “ugly” sweaters — she kept changing all day long — so cute.
She is the queen of selfies and Facebook Live!!

They had a Coffee and Hot Cocoa Bar set up with an adorable sign that I think I have to have/make.
Isn’t it adorable?
Then look  — Mary Ellen baked Christmas cookies and her daughters decorated them.

They had a “photo op” spot with a Christmas tree and a basket full of props.
Vacation Stamping School, Holiday, Christmas, SnowmanI couldn’t help myself.

Here she is with her team mates.
Everyone had such a great time with this.
Look close at the ornaments on the tree — sneak peek from the Holiday Catalog (so fun).
