Calgary Regionals

I am super excited to announce that I get to go to the Calgary regionals tomorrow. I have never been to a Stampin' Up! Event before. So in preparation for the event I made some swaps and here is what they look like. I hope you have a great weekend. Remember all of the supplies can be found in my online store.

Big News

Wow its been a long time but do I have some exciting news for you. Since it is Stampin' Ups 25 year we are celebrating in a big way. Here are some of the exciting things that are happening:

As part of our 25-year anniversary celebration, we’re bringing back some of our favorite stamp images from the last quarter century and combining them into 12 sets, which will release—one set per month—during 2013. Even better, along with some great classic images, each “Best of” set will also include a never-before-seen image!
