Social Saturday Winners!!!

I'm sorry I've been absent these last couple of weeks. I never realized how much work moving, and moving during the holidays would be. Anyways, I need to pick 2 Social Saturday winners so here they are:

The first one is Patty who wrote " My favorite is when both sons are home for Christmas. They both live in different states and can't always be home at the same time. So this year I'll have both here. Fantastic."

The second is  Penny Hanaszak who wrote "Hi Sacha. What a neat idea. Love the name (Social Saturday......that's cool). I love all the colours but I think my favourite of the current and incolors right now is Early Espresso. It goes with everything, looks great on it's own and can add such a vintage feel to a card or layout. Thanks for asking! "


Ladies, please email me your address by Friday so I can mail you hand stamped card made by me! Thank you for playing along!

Social Saturday

I thought it would be fun to start a weekly post in which I can hear from you. I post all week about my thoughts, share my samples, and share with you what I have been working on but this is my opportunity to hear from you. So each week I will post a question and I want to hear your answer. To respond simply add a comment to the post before I randomly choose one comment on Monday. The persons who comment is chosen will receive a special handmade card made by me! Be sure to check back to see if your comment won!

I definitely know by now that my favorite color since the color renovation has to be cherry Cobbler. This is the color that I veer to each time I'm designing a card. I often must remind myself that there are 37 other colors to choose from! So what's your favorite color Stampin' Up! currently offers?

Hostess Appreciation Party



I came across these photos so I thought I would share them again. These were taken at my Hostess Appreciation Party this last July. I invited all of the prior years hostesses for an afternoon of fun, food, and new ideas. The theme was a tropical one so I made chicken kabobs with coconut rice and a giant fruit salad for desert. I decorated appropriately and had leis for everyone to wear. I share my swaps that I received at Convention, and shared a cool project that I learned at Convention as a make n take. I'm already thinking about what I would like to do next year. If you would like to come to this special event be sure to book a workshop with me before the end of June!

Well, the Holiday season is officially here! Christmas is one of my favorite times of year. I love the hustle and bustle and all the things going on. I spend more time with family and friends during the Holidays and I absolutely love to make Christmas cards to send to those who I can't be with! So what's your favorite part of the Holiday Season? 

Define Your Life Wishes

Here is another swap that I made for a Monogram swap I participated in last month. A Monogram can be the first letter of someones name, or any word. I felt like most people would use letters of each others names so I did "W" for "Wish" to be different. These are the In Colors Pear Pizazz and Concord Crush which I think are stunning together. I finished the card by spraying the whole this with the Vanilla shimmer Smooch Spritz to make it sparkly. I think this may be one of my favorite embellishments as I've been using it on almost everything the last couple of weeks!

Elements Of Style Wedding

This is a card that I made for a wedding swap. It is very simple and elegant and I just love the idea of layering ribbon! It's kind of hard to tell, but some of the flowers are cut out and attached using dimensionals to give it a 3D effect.This is easily accomplished using the Paper Snips which make it easy to cut into small places. The colors could be interchanged to match the colors of a specific wedding, however black and white always look appropriate.
