Have you heard about the Stamparatus!  Check out the video: It is so amazing!  I can't wait to get one! The MOST exciting announcement at On Stage Live was the upcoming release of the  Stamparatus!  It's a brand new, VERY different, stamp positioning tool that I've had the honor of helping to design over the past few years.   YOU  will be able to RESERVE yours on November 16th, 3:00pm Central With the launch of this tool, we’re trying something different: testing a new reservation system. It acts like a true preorder: you reserve your spot and we guarantee shipment as soon as the product arrives in our warehouse. Demonstrators and customers will place reservations and receive their product at the same time. This system will allow us to get the product to market as soon as possible while avoiding backorders and efficiently managing inventory. The global launch will feature three reservation windows. For each window, please note the following:

Hello everyone.  Monthly card class was fun last night.  I have a group of 3 to 6 people that come on a monthly basis. I ask them to bring friends and they do!.  I have met some wonderful people and we have a great time. We made 4 projects last night.  3 cards and 1 treat box.  It was based around Fall and Halloween theme. Have a great day and I hope you like the pictures. I added this card because I was working on it when the class started and I completed it after class. I love all the textures and different colors.

Ever ask yourself if you are Half Full or Half Empty?   I think that I am a Half Full kind of person.  Recently, I could not sleep, so I strolled through the house to the craft studio and picked a stamp set to play with.  I came up with this card. I like the way it turned out. Here is what I used Stamp Set is Half Full Card Base is Fresh Fig Card addition is Crumb Cake Inside writing surface is Crumb Cake Card Topper is  Wood Textures Paper Green Designer Series Paper - from Whole Lot of Lovely Stickers are from Eastern Gold Black Archival Ink Stampin Write Markers - Old Olive, Perfect Plum & Daffodil Delight I also used a Blender Pen for the variation of color on the grapes Have a great day!
