Sets to Give Away, Did I mention I'm a demo?

I have 4 brand new, un-mounted stamps sets and designer paper from Stampin' Up!'s Sale-a-Bration (from last year) just hanging around in a drawer taking up space. I would like to give them away to YOU! They are all beautiful sets and the paper is some of my favorite and I would like to give it all away to you FREE.

With the new SU! cattie release back in July I know many of you are saving your pennies to place an order. Let me make that order a little more worth your while!
Place a Stampin' Up! order with me for any amount and I will personally mail you one of the stamp sets or designer paper I mentioned above for FREE!! Keep them for yourself or give them away as a SUPER gift. Refer a friend and she will receive a set too!

Mail your item selection to me at lpryor1@hotmail.com with "NEW SU ORDER" in the subject line. I will send you an invoice for your items payable thru PayPal for your privacy and security.

Here are some of the cards I've made with the sets and papers I have to give away.

CCB03 Challenge, Dustin Pike Rules! ( and I still have FREE Goodies)

Before getting to the awesome work of Dustin Pike, let me quickly announce that the Creatively Cute bloggers challenge #3 has been announced. The challenge is to make an Easter card (style of your choice) AND to use texture in the card you make. To participate, upload your creation to Splitcoast Stampers using keyword CCB03 by Wednesday, April 8th. Lacey (our hostess) will pick a random number to get the winner. The winner will be announced on Thurday, April 9th and will receive some stamped images from High Hopes and Whiff of Joy along with some primas, ribbon, and designer paper! Sounds good to me! Here is a link to the CCB03 Gallery.
So a week or so ago I was browsing the Creatively Cute blogs and Anjou (Dreaming in Color) featured an image from artist, Dustin Pike that was incredibly cute and FREE. So I immediately went to his site and downloaded this Easter Bunny image among many others. I colored bunny with Copics, but I ran out of blender ink!!! My marker is as dry as a bone. I cried, got over it and did my best without it and scoured the internet to find a cheap refill. I then added liquid applique to his fur and tail and hit the eggs with my Spica glitter marker and added some white hi-lights with my gel pen for effect. It's not horrible for no blender! I was surprised.
I used SCS sketch challenge SC222 for my layout which is fun and a simple one to use and added some brads and ribbon for extra fun.
I decided to go sans sentiment. I think you get that it's an Easter card although I did type up a "Got Eggs?" phrase in Word. Maybe I'll slap it on there somewhere before I mail this to my Auntie. Decisions, decisions!
So I am now a huge Dustin Pike fan and I urge you to run to his site and check out his fab artwork.
By the way, I still have many duplicate stamp sets from the SU! Sale-a-Bration mini-catalog that I would love to give away FREE with an order over $50. Please contact me if you've been thinking of placing an order at lpryor1@hotmail.com The SAB sale is over, but NOT FOR ME!
AND A GREAT BIG WELCOME TO MY TWO NEW FOLLOWERS!!! THANKS A WHOLE BIG BUNCH!!!!

I'm Now a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

I just realized that I never formally let the blogging world know that I decided to become a Stampin' Up! Demo. I've mentioned bits and pieces here and there, but never anything official.

Well, it's true. I was buying so much stuff that it became obvious to me that I would benefit from the fabulous discount. I also was intrigued by being able to pre-order new products before they are available to the public and the fab other incentives the SU! offers.

I never thought I would actually want to build this business but because I'm so passionate about stamping I really do. Therefore, I will have to offer YOU an incentive to choose me your demo. So, let me tell you about that...

Right now through March 31st, a customer can choose 1 FREE item from the Sale-a-Bration(SAB) catalog for every $50 they spend which is so awesome!!! So I thought I would offer an additional FREE SAB set of your choice to the first person to place a $50 order through me as a demo. So for $50 you will get 2 free stamp sets! I think that's pretty exciting! Plus I will also send you dsp and ribbon samples from this same catalog. If this 1st customer refers a friend who places an order, they can pick a set too and earn some paper and ribbon samples as well.

Pretty great!!!
Talk soon,

Who Knew?

Who knew that Cameo Coral would 1. make a come back and 2. be so delicious with Basic Grey and Baja Breeze!?!
My newest box of goodies arrived today containing my Occasions Mini Catalog pre-order items, hooray!! I just couldn't wait to play. So as soon as the baby went down (after screaming for 15 minutes I might add...this is something new the last few nights, I digress...) I ran right for my stamp table and new supplies.
I've got to say this really is a fabulous color combo! I even managed to work in using my new Texture Plates, mmmmmm.
I think this will be for my mother-in-law for her birthday and I plan to make a matching Pillow Box to house a gift card if my time over the next few days permits.

Sweet Stems for Auntie

This is a card I made for my Aunt Barb who is always so sweet and thinks of me all the time. She sent me a magazine subscription for Valentine's Day. Isn't that thoughtful? So I thought I would send her a pretty, Spring card to say thank you.

If you don't already own Sweet Little Sentiments I highly suggest you have it in your collection. It is a level one hostess set featured in the Spring Summer 2009 Idea Book & Catalog. Hostesses and customers would be able to order this set by placing an order or hosting a workshop of $150 or more and would receive $15 in free merchandise as well. Since I am a demo and hostess bennies apply to me when I order, I jumped at the chance to have this set! Right now and through March 31st, customers also receive one free stamp set from the Sale-A-Bration catalog for every $50 they spend. I have lots more details. Please contact me for more information.
