I m absolutely in love with this blog look. I feel in love with this look from another blog and I wrote to Michelle to ask her if she would do the same kind of design but in my favorite color of purple. It's this the most elegant look!

It has given me a new look on life and what I want to do with my stamping business. I can't thank Michelle enough! I left the link here if you would like to give your business a face lift. I feel so blessed.

I love my downline. She really pushes me to be a better demonstrator and to challenge myself. So, this last challenge has gotten me a little nervous but also push me to a new level of stamping. She has asked me to take part in a card challenge. This is really, I mean really scary for me. So...

So...

I am a Halloween freak. I love all the Halloween stamps Stampin up offers and I LOVE creating cards in my mind. (Does anyone else do that?) For the past two weeks, I have been looking up card challenges and creating cards…yes, you got it, in my mind. Today I sat down and I created one of those wonderful Halloween cards.

Here is my creation!

Here is this weeks challenge.

I am on my way to post this card. (And...I am biting my nails)

Have a great day!

I found this great tutorial on why it is so important you buy the big shot and then JOIN me for our BS gathering. (BS stands for Big shot...and all you think we do is talk!)

This is where you bring your Big Shots machines to my house and make three projects. Pricing is $5 for those who bought a Big Shot from me, an advantage of buying from me and $15 if you purchased from somewhere else or you don’t have one. All of you will start a binder ring and each time you come you will cut another material to add to you ring so you have a visual reminder of all the things the BS can cut. Our first gathering will be on Friday September 18th from 7-9PM. If you are interested in attending, please email me!

This video was brought to us from"Where the Rubber hits the road!" Press here to see her incredible blog! Thank you Linda for sharing this video with us! (You crack me up!)

When having too much mind time, I was bugged by the fact I wanted to make a purell holder. I tried and tried but no mojo! So I asked one of my websites to help me out and I got one response. She was soooo incredible that she made this box for me. Her name is Belinda Johnson. She sent me pictures but non of them turned out very well and at the same time I got a lot of members asking me to send them pictures of this wonderful project.

Enough is enough...I have been spending my time taking pictures, recreating, re-measuring, being really excited for my first tutorial! But before I show you how to make this wonderful project, I want to give a shout out to Belinda for spending her weekend creating this wonderful project for me! Thank you Belinda!!!

Purell Box Tutorial

Start with a piece of card stock that measures - 3" X 10 1/2"

Score both sides 3/4" along the length

Turn card stock and score at 3/4", 1 1/2", 4 1/4", 5", 7 3/4", and 8 5/8"

Cut as I have diagramed. Cut the 3/4" tab at an angles.

Place sticky strip on the side flaps at the bottom of the box and on the both sides of the angled top side. (Be care not to put adhesive on the top side flaps.)

This is what it will look like when you sart to put it together. The 3/4" tab will fold to the back of the box.

This is a picture of the front of the box with side flaps.

This is a view of the open box

The 3/4" angled top will tuck into the back of the box

Here is another view.

This is the finished project. It will hold a 0.5 fluid oz container. I used a pop up glue dots to adhere "thanks" so I could tuck the front flap under this embellishment. You can also use magnets or velcro.

I am so happy with my creation. Please check back in a couple of days and I will have one more tutorial for a bigger bottle of purell.

I haven't ever made an Acetate card before. They seemed a little intimidating to me. Once I made this card, I felt it was very easy.

I love the new Hostess stamp set call Kind and Caring Thoughts. It has so many different uses and it really touches my heart. AND…I love the new Rich Razzleberry In-Color Paper. I am just one of those Purple kind of gal.
