Still Catching Up: Nurses Week

Yes, that's how far behind I am! National Nurses Week: May 6th to 12th :) Although I work in the healthcare industry we don't have very many nurses at our facility, so for nurses week, we kind of dropped the ball and celebrated a week later! LOL Anyway,  I was "volun-told" to make Nurses Day cards. Of course I was happy to, I have a great appreciation for all the hard work that nurses do. So many of my family members are nurses and I'm SO thankful for them! They never cease to amaze me!

We have a total of 4 nurses at our facility, I made each of them a card for the staff to sign. If you notice, all the cards are the same, but all different at the same time! :)

Also, if you like any of the patterned paper that I used, they are only available while supplies last on my online store. We'll be making room for the new Designer Series Paper packs that are going to be released on July 1st! Click here to visit my online store :)

Thanks!!

Catching Up

Hi Everyone,

It's been a while since I've posted any pictures of the cards/projects that I've made recently. Life has been pretty hectic, but I'm hoping to get a start on building up my inventory or cards and other items. I'm super excited that Stampin' Up! will be releasing their new catalog last month, but it also means that I need to use up my Designer Series Paper that will be retiring at the end of the month! :)

Here are some cards that I made from Mother's Day (Yes, that how far behind I am! Don't worry, I gave it to them on time!) I have fallen in love with the color Rose Red, so you'll be seeing it in a lot of upcoming cards :) I used the Mother of Mine stamp, Sweet Summer (Sale-A-Bration set), and a hostess set from the Occasions Mini called Something to Celebrate. ENJOY! :) 

Say Goodbye!

Administrative Professionals Week

Good Evening Everyone! :)

Sorry it's been so long since my last post. So many things have happened since then! I've been doing a lot of wedding planing :) and I had my VERY first Stampin' Up! workshop. I was so exciting, I can't wait to have another one. Also, I am going to be starting a "craft club" of some sort where once a month or so people can come over and make projects that I would prepare. It would be $15 for materials or you can recieve the materials for FREE if you place a minimum order of $20 :) Please let me know if you're interested, we can even take turns "hosting" so that we all get a chance to recieve hostess benefits! :)

Other Stampin' Up! news, the Occasions Mini catalog is officially over, but the new Summer Mini catalog is out! Check it out on my website along with the promotions for National Scrapbooking Month! Stampin' Up! has some awesome stamp sets 30% off. Check it out here: www.regalcrafts.stampinup.net

LAST week was Administrative Professionals Week. I truly believe that the organizations we work for would crumble without all the administrative support that is provided. At the place where I work, we have an AMAZING admin, without her, I don't even know how we would function! I made her a little card and a post-it holder that also has a holder for a mini pen. Thanks to all the Administrative Professionals out there for all that you do!!

THIS week is  Nurse's Weeks, I still need to make something for that... Not really sure what to make yet though. Whatever it is, I better hurry before it's over!

Have a good night!

My FIRST Stampin' Up! Workshop!

I'm SO excited, I confirmed the date for my very first workshop as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator! My upline is going to be helping me out for my first one, she's so nice and helpful! :) If you are interested i hosting a workshop or attending mine, please feel free to contact me. Space is limited so let me know as soon as you can. regalcrafts.stampinup.net

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Oh, and here is a picture of a couple of the envelope bags I made last week :)

This would size envelope would be great for gift cards!

Great Weekend :)

What a great weekend! It all stared after work on Friday. I went straight to Big Shot club, hosted by my upline from Stampin' Up! we made some REALLY cute things with the new petal cone die (Click here to order). I love Big Shot club, because you get to make more than cards, you can make SO many other paper crafts and embellishments! Saturday I went to my VERY FIRST demonstrator meeting. We made some really cute bags made out of envelopes and a birthday card. We also did a card swap, demonstrations, and the learned about new promotions at Stampin' Up! (oh and, the clearance rack was just updated!!!!).

Sunday was SO busy and so fun! BBQ and crafting?! It was GREAT! I really loved how the envelope bags were so quick and simple. So, I brought all the material that I would need to the bbq so that everyone could make one. I think it went really well and everyone made such cute bags! After a little cleaning, the crafting was continued at my house with my sister and her best friend. My weekend started and ended with crafting and was filled with lots of friends and laughter :) It was great! Now, if only I could have a day to recuperate! lol

OH! In case you have noticed, my Stampin' Up! website is now up and running. I would LOVE to be your demonstrator. Please feel free to contact me for more information. Also, if you want to receive the "Preferred Price" on the Stampin' Up! website, just select me as your demonstrator and you will qualify to receive that discounted price:) Thanks for your continued support everyone!!!

I made little Thank You boxes for everyone that came to the BBQ :) This was before I put the candy in them, I had lots of fun trying to build things with boxes :)

I didn't use Stampin' Up! paper (eek!) because I didn't have enough to make them all, but I did use one of So Many Thanks stamp from Stampin' Up! It's one of my new favorites :)

YAY!!! They're all filled with candy!

Last but not least, my uncle had surgery today and I made him this card to let him know that we're thinking of him and keeping him in our prayers. I used the Lap of Luxury Designer Series Paper, Trendy Trees stamp set, and Concord Crush cardstock.

Have a great week everyone!

I'm so glad that we were able to go to the Briar Patch Marketplace yesterday. I was able to talk to the lady in charge and she's going to add me to her vendor list so that I can have a booth in the Fall! I'm so excited! There were only a couple people who had paper crafts, so I'm really excited to be part of it. I have some many ideas and can't wait to get crafting!

I came across this card template from Dawn, she calls it the Paper Frame Card. I absolutely love it. It's simple and but it comes out SO pretty and you can do so much with it. I've already made a couple, but I was able to each one special in their own way :)

This one was for my co-worker on her last day. She's a great friend and I hope that we can keep in touch :)

This one is for my cousin's birthday :) I'm so super excited for her, this year will be filled with all the fun and excitement of planning her wedding!!! love you!! :)

Briar Patch Marketplace

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Things have been SO busy!  Here are some updates:

I'm totally LOVING my Stampin' Up! stuff :) I really love how all the paper, ink, and ribbon all coordinate :) I'm going to my first demonstrators meeting in a couple weeks so I'm trying to figure out what card I'm going to make for everyone. I got the Big Shot and I love it! :)

I'm going to check out Briar Patch Marketplace today. This will be my first Arts and Crafts fair. One of my coworkers told me about it and I'm so excited! I spoke with one of the people in charge there and she's bringing a contract for me to look over. Hopefully this will bring me closer to achieving my goal of being able to sell my projects! :)

I've made some cards lately, but here's the one that's uploaded. It's for my coworker's birthday last week :) can you tell he likes Apple?

SO EXCITED!! :)

I have been waiting all week and I finally got it! My Stampin' Up starter kit arrived today and I can't wait to play with all the new supplies I got. I was so excited that I took pictures of all the stuff. I even put all my new stamps together and labeled all of the stamps, ink pads, and all the other tools I got too :) ... if you would like to place a Stampin' Up order and receive the preferred pricing, please let me know so that I can get that for you :)

I'll post up the pictures another time (I haven't uploaded them yet).

Oh another note, here is a birthday card that I put together for my co-worker, Sarah :) For a short period of time we shared an office, and for a short period of time she was even my "boss" lol. I hope you had a wonderful birthday Sarah, you deserve it! :)

I used tweezers to try and hold the cad shut so that you would be able to see the contrast :)

 Have a good night everyone!

Happy Crafting :)

Stampin' Up Birthday Cards

Hi Everyone!

I'm finally posting the cards that I made at the first workshop I ever went to! Yes, it was a Stampin' Up workshop :) It was a Make and Take workshop so you make two cards of each, the theme this time was Birthday Cards. Don't be surprised if some people will actually get these lol. Here you go!

The samples were much prettier, but I couldn't follow directions! I'm still happy with the way they turned out. Also, just like I mentioned in my previous post, I've become a Stampin' Up demonstrator, so please contact me if you would like to order anything! They have so much stuff and you'll definitely have so much fun with them all. www.stampinup.com in order to get the preferred pricing you MUST order through a demonstrator, and I would love help you out! :)

Stampin' Up!

I know I said I would post pictures from the workshop I went to a couple weeks ago, but it's late and I just wanted to give a little update.

I went to another workshop tonight and I officially became a Stampin' Up Demonstrator! I'm so excited and can't wait for this new and exciting time. If anyone needs any craft supplies or anything from Stampin' Up please let me know and I'll put in the order for you with the preferred pricing :)

Happy Crafting Everyone! :)
