School is here - off to the races

by ktstamps, 7:42 AM
Today is faculty meetings with new students in the afternoon. Tomorrow we start with all students...hope I am ready. I do like the before Labor Day start with two broken weeks. It really lets me ease a bit more into the rat race!

Today I have a card that I used for a swap with my uplines group. I love this new stamp set from the Holiday mini and I wanted to do something a little different. I used a technique called Crayon Resistant. I love how this fall card turned out!

Comparing all three scorers

by ktstamps, 6:25 PM

Stampin up is coming out with a new scoring tool in Holiday mini. It is awesome! (Yes, I have 6 other scoring tools to compare it to!) As I was pandering about how I would sell this scoring tool to my customers, Ann Nelson came out with this wonder article about the comparison of Scor-Pal, Martha Stewart's score tool, and now Stampin' Up!'s tool. She did a great job putting it together in a PDF that I thought was really incredible and gave me the words to share with my customers. Please click here for Ann's thoughtful evaluation of three different scoring tools.

Corner punch video

by ktstamps, 11:19 AM


At convention I had the opportunity to use the new style 3/16" corner punch and I wish I had this video to view before I used the punch...this makes it sooo easy to use. In my older age, I love seeing a video verses reading how to do it properly. Enjoy!

Early morning coffee

by ktstamps, 8:12 AM

I loved this cup card, it reminds me of how much I enjoy Starbucks coffee. It is a real treat to have cup of this wonderful drink. I enjoy sitting in the sunshine and thanking God for what I have. I love the little label! I am a true believer that we are our best friend and our best enemies. Here is to a great day and great blog friends! Enjoy a cuppa on me! :)

The card opens at the top and you can put a gift card or greeting inside.

Thanks for stopping by...many blessings!

On a personal note...

by ktstamps, 8:08 PM

I celebrated my 29th anniversary on August 1st. It was a low key day but earlier in the year I bought tickets to the Cinerama for $15 which included popcorn and admission for 2. WELL...it was Harry how won the must see movie for the THIRD time...It was so exciting. My first time I saw it was in Salt Lake, we skipped Friday night to see it. I just cried...I love this series and I am sad to see it end! Above is a picture of Jessi and I at the Opening of Harry. Jessi bought 3 wands from a guy selling them. They were wood and really nice!

This was a special night for us and I look forward to many, many more! ILY, sks!
