Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference 2013 - My Paper Pumpkin monthly kit program and Dude, You're Welcome kit details

My Stamping Friends, I want to share with you that the Stampin' Up! Leadership 2013 was sooooo much fun. I wish you were all there with me but since you couldn't be, I'll post some highlights (not in any specific order).

Stampin' Up! announced the My Paper Pumpkin program which is a new monthly kit program that anyone can enjoy. Every month a new, surprise project kit arrives at your doorstep. You'll get a unique surprise kit with a project - cards, journals, decor and more. We've even color-coordinated, measured and cut everything for you!  Each kit includes stamps, ink, paper and accessories - everything but adhesive. Its so easy to get started. You can find out  more information and sign up for the program by visiting www.mypaperpumpkin.com and in just a few moments you'll be waiting for your first kit to arrive.  When you sign up, please make sure to choose me as your demonstrator so I can follow up with you on your projects and so I can help you with any of your questions about the program.

Dude, You're Welcome!
We're excited to introduce our new, very manly stamping kit: the Dude, You're Welcome! kit.
Guys don't always have the easiest time expressing themselves, but with the Dude, You're Welcome! kit, they'll have

• Four wood-mount stamps (double-mounted) with the perfect sentiment for every occasion
• Twelve 4" x 6" postcards in four different (manly) colors
• Twelve gray envelopes
• A Basic Gray Classic Stampin' Pad
• An instructional guide (for the most novice stamper!)

Basically, the kit includes everything a dude needs to create the perfect manly card that any woman would adore, all packaged in an appropriately masculine box.

You can check this out and order this through my online store here. Just search for item number 132807 ($24.95 US).  Before you do that, check out this video from Stampin' Up!

Isn't that fantastic . Can you think of all the guys that need this just in time for Valentines Day? I can!

Have a fabulous day.

Stampin' Up! Holiday cards and Christmas Projects for 2012 (part three)

Greetings My Stamping Friends,

I'm finally getting to share a spinner card I made several weeks ago. I used the Stampin' Up! Ornament Keepsakes stamp set and the Holiday Ornaments framelits die. The sentiment is from More Merry Messages and I used the tree from Lovely as a Tree as the branch. There is a small piece of thread (or you can use fishing line) to get the ornament to 'float' in the opening. Before you close the card you should spin the ornament and close the card quickly.  That way, when the receiver actually opens the card, the ornament will spin for them. It definately gets lots of Ooohs and Aaahs.

Stay Tuned,

Stampin' Up! Holiday cards and Christmas Projects for 2012

Happy New Year to all my Stamping Friends,   I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season full of friends, family and fun.

My little family got to spend several wonderful days with my sister and her family on her farm in West Virginia. We hiked, rode ATVs and my girls even got to go skiing for the first time. That was exhausting but sooooo much fun.

Anyway, since then I've been keeping busy by working on my presentation for the Stampin' Up! Leadership gathering in Orlando and sample projects for my display board that will be right outside my classroom, gifts for some friends and of course, general swaps for while I'm there. I'll post photos of all these things once I'm in Orlando. Speaking of Leadership in Orlando, I'll be emailing photos to my blog and to my facebook page (Stampin' Up! with Rose-Ellen) and to twitter ( @REEastman ) while I'm there so check back often to stay up on the latest scoop. I just know that Shelli will have an exciting announcement while we're there. I mean, its the 25th anniversary and all so there is bound to be something, right? Oh yeah, I almost forgot to tell you that you'll also be able to 'be with me' for my very first Managers Reception!! I'll DEFINITELY be posting all about that because its going to be soooooooooo much fun!

Well, before I fill my blog with postings about the 2013 Stampin' Up! Leadership in Orlando, Florida, I thought I'd share with you the last of my Christmas and Holiday projects. I have quite a few to catch you up on so I'm going to have to split this into a few posts.
