Hey there My Stamping Friends,

I'm so happy you can join me on my first BLOG HOP.....and just so you know, its my first recorded VIDEO too, so please leave a comment and let me know what you think.....but remember to be kind, it's my first video (although if you have constructive tips, feel free to contact me privately, I'd love some pointers from experienced people). And yes, I will figure out how to rotate the video/camera for my next video.

You've probably landed here after visiting Dawn. Wasn't she awesome?! As you know we're all sharing something from the Last Chance list and today I'm sharing some One Sheet Wonder cards using several stamp sets and Designer Series Paper that is on the Last Chance list.  Check it out....

Here is the One Sheet Wonder map that I mentioned in the video.

Don't forget to please head to the next stop on the blog hop which is my friend Michelle from Suitably Stamped.

A touch of inspiration..

I've been feeling very creatively inspired over the past few days and I've put that inspiration to work. Last night I worked on a card kit that will go to a little girl at her birthday party today. Once I pulled out my line art stamps (stamps that are just begging to be colored in) I had sooooo much fun. This is what stamping is about.


So, here is the kit that I ended up with:

I used some current stamps and some retired sets from my stash that I can't bear to part with (Side note: we are at the tail end of the ordering period for the Last Chance List. If there is something you want that is on the list, please order in today or tomorrow so you won't be sad on Thursday when you can't get the set anymore).

My supplies:
Pick a Petal stamp set, Simple Birthday Thanks stamp set, Time Well Spent (got that FREE from Stampin' Up! just for being a demonstrator), Loads of Love, Crayon Kids and Beary Best Friends . I also used several misc colors of card stock for the card bases, current and retired ribbons, and buttons. All in all I think a little girl would love to get this card kit. I KNOW I would.

Hope you have a fantastic day!
Rose-Ellen

P.S. Don't forget that the current catalog ends tomorrow night at midnight so if you want any stamps, accessories (lots are retiring), card stock (the price is going up so you might want to stock up now) or envelopes you can place your order on line or call me and I'll place it for you.
And don't forget about my special offer for a chance at a $50 shopping spree (see my previous post - sorry for the formatting on that one, the preview does NOT look like that. It has pretty bullet points and colors too!

o In addition to whatever hostess benfeits you would earn


I am looking for someone to host a workshop this weekend. (Last minute parties are often some of the BEST for gathering friends and having fun.) I also have some availabilities during the day or evening this week and next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Do you want me to come to your office and do a lunchtime card class? Would you like me to come to your pool and teach you and your friends while you’re waiting during dive or swim team practice? Interested in having me join you for your monthly girls-night-out to have your friends learn how to make some fantastic cards? One of the best parts of my job (and these products) is that I have the flexibility to show you how to make cards and scrapbook techniques pretty much anywhere. Don’t forget that a hostess that books something right now will get an additional benefit as noted above.


If you’re wondering who you can invite I can e-mail you a tip sheet on where you can ‘find’ your friends. Remember that you’ll never know if one of your friends enjoys this until you invite them to a workshop, so invite everyone and you’re sure to have a blast. Call me at 703-200-2340 to discuss workshop date options.


There are a few more little things I want to let you know about.
I have seen the new catalog and the price of the cardstock has gone up from $5.50 to $6.95 for a pack of 24 sheets of the same color cardstock. (Thought you might want to know just in case you want to stock up on colors that you know you use often).


Assorted packs of card stock have gone from 36 sheets to 20 sheets (due to the Color Renovation and each family now having 10 colors instead of 12) and have dropped from $7.95 to $6.95


This is your LAST CHANCE to get something from the LAST CHANCE LIST. The Last Chance list is updated every day at about 6pm. I’m told we will fill all order for the stamp sets, however the cardstock, inks, refills and accessories (ribbons, brads, etc) are on a first come, first served basis. If you are interested in getting something on the Last Chance list and would like to see the current update on what is no longer available, please let me know and I can get that information to you.


You can place any order on line at my website, or by calling or e-mailing me.

Thank you again for all your support,
Happy Stamping and good luck on your chance at winning a $50 shopping spree from me!



Happy Stamping,

Samples of some of the retiring sets

Hi there My Stamping Friends,

I thought you might want to see some samples made with a few of the retiring sets so I looked at my photos from the Stampin' Up! convention from last summer and found some. I took these photos from the display boards so I have no idea who made these cards. If one of them is yours please let me know and I'll happily give you credit.

There are only a few weeks left to get stamp sets from the Last Chance List so if you have something on your wish list that is on the Last Chance List, let me know as soon as possible.

This stamp set is a Level 2 Hostess set and is called Asian Artistry.

There are TWO retiring sets on this scrapbook page (sorry its so blurry). One is the Wild West Alphabet (#115112 $43.95) and the other is Card Games (#113202 $19.95).

This background stamp Tres Chic (#109258 $17.95) is retiring.

I'll be so sad to see Embrace Life (#114958 $25.95) go away. My Stamping Friends know that it was a favorite of mine......but I have to remember that even though I'll be sad when its gone in a few weeks, there will be more room for NEW STAMPS in our NEW CATALOG!

Just Jawing (111660 $25.95) only has a few weeks left before its gone for good.

The horse on this card comes from the set Wanted (#115106 $23.95) and it'll galloping away at the end of the month.

I'll glance through some more photos and post some more for tomorrow.

Have a great day!

Rose-Ellen

The "Last Chance" lists are here.....

Hey there My Stamping Friends,


I know you've all been waiting with bated breath....ok, well maybe you're off doing other things and you were going to look for the list later on tonight, but either way the Last Chance Lists (also known as the Retiring List) are here and some of the accessories on this list are already gone for good. If there is something on your wish list please contact me ASAP so we don't run the risk of the item selling out before your order is placed. Don't forget that you can also order directly from my website at http://www.roseelleneastman.stampinup.net/

Below you'll see the Last Chance Stamp Set list.

If you are looking for the Last Chance Accessory List, you can find it on my website here or you can contact me and I can e-mail you a copy of the most current list. Stampin' Up! will be updating the list at 6pm ET daily so you can see what is sold out and no longer available.

If you want me to e-mail you a copy of the Last Chance Stamp List just let me know.

I'm off to sit with my catalog and my Last Chance list to make my plans for upcoming clubs, classes and workshops.

Happy Stamping,

Rose-Ellen
