About me – Page 8 – Stampin' With Candice

Thrifty Thursday 3-5-09

Here’s a blast from the past. This was the first Scrapbook page I made as a Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrator. I used one of our Simply Scrapin’®Kits. I don’t think there is anything (besides paper and inks) that is still available.

I really love the Simply Scrapin’ Kitsbecause they make scrapbooking fast and easy. They come with the stickers, DSP and Cardstock add a few stamps and accessories and you are good to go.

This page really works for Thrifty Thursday because it uses the Stampin’ Pastels® to achieve all the great colors. The chalks are a very economical way to get our wonderful colors. This is a simple technique called poppin’ pastels. It’s actually really easy. All you do is stamp your image using the VersaMark® ink and the apply the chalk. The best way to apply the chalk is with our wonderful sponge daubers.

If you’ve never tried this technique before I encourage you to give it a try. If it’s been a while then it’s a great time to remember it. Here is a list of supplies you will need:
105542 Stampn’ Pastels $24.95
102283 VersaMark Pad $7.50
102892 Sponge Daubers (12) $10.95
Stamp Set of your Choice (Bold sets work the best)

Wacky Wednesday 3-4-09

I like Wacky Wednesday because it gives me a chance to share some other fun stuff. I received this in the mail and I was so excited to get it. I love that Stampin’ Up! sends our travel documents in such a fun packaging. I’m so excited to leave for Hawaii next week. My kids are so sad that they are not going with us.

Isn’t this bag so cute. I love the luggage tags. I can’t wait to see what other fun surprises they have in store for us when we get there. The hotel we are staying in is so nice. If you want to see how Stampin’ Up! spoils us you can check out the hotel at www.HiltonWaikoloaVillage.com. This place is 62 acres and has canal boats and swiss made trams to get around it. How cool is that. There is even a Dolphin Learning Center where you can swim with the dolphins (I wish that was paid for). I will definitely be sharing pictures and more fun info when I get back.

I want to send out a big “THANK YOU” to all my wonderful hostess, customers and down-line that helped me to achieve this fabulous vacation. I would love for you to join me in the future for other wonderful opportunities like this. Please check out my JOIN ME section to learn more. I would love to have you on my team.

Aloha!

Fun Little Game

I love checking my friend Deborah’s blog and she posted this great idea. Since I REALLY want something from her (even though I’m a little nervous about her limitations posted below), I’m offering the same challenge to you. The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you. This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:

1- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make! (But, I really hope you will)
2- What I create will be just for you.
3- It’ll be done this year.
4- You have no clue what it’s going to be.
5- I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.

The catch? Oh, the catch is that you must repost this on your blog (or facebook, etc.) and offer the same to the first 5 people who do the same on your blog. The first 5 people to do so and leave a comment telling me they did, win a FAB-U-LOUS homemade gift by me! Oh, and be sure to post a picture of what you win when you get it! Good luck!

Marvelous Monday 2-16-09

Recently I was able to preview the new Spring Mini Catalog (just one of the many perks of becoming a demonstrator. Can I just say “So cute” I can’t wait. Be watching for a Sneak peek and pre-order items for customers starting March 1st. Anyway I was looking back through some old projects and remember this scrapbook page that I entered into a contest last year. Although the paper and many of the accessories are now retired (it was last years spring mini) I thought the idea would inspire you and remind you that our mini catalog items are for a limited time only so start planning today. April and May are great times to have a Stampin’ Up!® party.

This was my son Mikey on his Kindergarten field trip. I just love how the chipboard elements add depth to the page. These pages used last year’s In-Colors. Remember the current In-Colors are only available until the end of June. Stock up now to make sure you get your favorites.

I really love this page. The big pictue was my favorite. I loved that I was able to print the pictuers to just the right size with my pictue printer (HP Photosmart D7360) I love it.
