I started this blog for a place I can CREATE, SHARE and INSPIRE other crafters. I am an Independent Stampin' Up! demonstrator and exclusively use their products. I just LOVE how everything from the stamp set, punch, card stock, designer series paper, ribbon and accessories all coordinate! Stampin' Up! just gets me!

Hello There
Wednesday, February 26, 2014
Burlap & Blooms
What do you think of my newest front door accessory? Do you think the UPS delivery person would recognize it's a Stampin' Up! product? UPS delivers at least once per week.
Kits make everything easier for the crafter that just can't figure out what to make next. I really enjoy the fact the work is done of the final product and what it's supposed to look like. With this kit everything was included except for the hot glue gun and glue sticks I used.
Enjoy all your moments!

Create Banner
Do you know what I like about Stampin' Up! Kits?
|
Everything is done for you. The end result is pictured in color and all the supplies are ready to just put together.
I like the fact that I can use the supplies the way I want to. So instead of putting the Celebrate banner together I chose spell Create.
The kit gives you the following letters:
1 - A
1 - B
1 - C
3 - E
1 - L
1 - R
1 - T
What else could you spell with these letters?
Enjoy all your moments!

Looking for gold?
Ever wonder how else can I market my business and get my name out there?
Well have you ever just randomly given acts of kindness?
Well this is what I'm doing with these cute little gifts of gold. I plan to give these out to random people in my travels before March 17.
I have a York Peppermint Pattie on the inside. Who doesn't love a little chocolate?

It's called "fifty shades" yes after the trilogy books written by E.L. James.
Can't believe in one year the movie will be out for all of us to see! One excited gal over here on the east coast patiently waiting to purchase my ticket.

Plunging into ALS thank you cards
This is my third year
plunging into the frigid Atlantic Ocean! I do this because I can and it
supports the fight against ALS, especially to one very special person in my
life, my father, Brian Dillon. <3
 |
| My father, Brian Dillon February 2012 |
Brian Dillon, a loving son, brother,
father, husband, grandfather, colleague, mentor, friend to all, was formally
diagnosed on March 23, 2010 with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) a Motor
Neuron Disease also known as 'Lou Gehrig's Disease'. Brian passed
away February 21, 2013. As a fighter, Brian advocated for ALS awareness and to
raise funds for research efforts to find a cure each day.
There are a lot of
brave things we do to support the fight against ALS, but Plunging into the
frigid Atlantic Ocean in February proves just how far we will go!
Our ALS
Facebook Family was brought together by one of the worst diseases to befall
humankind.
 |
| ALS Facebook Family February 2012 |
Since Lou Gehrig,
and a hundred years before him, there was little being done to change the state
of this devastating disease. Most people were so wrought with disbelief and
sadness after witnessing the disease firsthand, they never spoke these 3
letters again- ALS. Facebook gives us a
place to connect, to support and to give all we have- and most importantly- to
end the silence.
This event, not
only supports the people with ALS in Monmouth, Ocean & Middlesex counties
in NJ, but also the efforts of StayTough.FightHARD, which has helped many, many
of our very own Facebook friends across the country. STFH goes about their work
quietly but with generosity and compassion and this is our chance to continue
this life changing foundation.
Please consider sharing your love and supporting this
important and incredible event.
Thank
you and if you can join our team, sign up today and help KICK ALS!
With
immense gratitude from us all, we thank you for your generous donation and your
continued efforts for raising ALS awareness to all.
-ALS
Facebook Family
Until there is a cure for ALS, my ALS Facebook family and I will continue to jump into the freezing Atlantic ocean in February for the Valentine Plunge to fundraise for the Joan Dancy and pALS (people with ALS) Foundation.

Yes, I had individual stamps created to spell out ALS (Amyotropic Lateral Sclerosis) and what a person loses the ability to use when they are diagnosed with this disease (Arms, Legs, Speech).
My thought was to offer my ALS Facebook Family and others to make homemade ALS thank you cards. I mean what store can you find a disease specific card never mind a thank you card. Not just to thank each of our donors but to re-educate them about what the disease is.
I had come up with a few designs to help with get the creative juices flowing.
 |
| 10 different designs of the ALS Thank you cards. |
So here we go a few photos of us getting together and making ALS thank you cards.
