It's the home stretch for Sale-a-bration 2012! Here's a simple card you can make with your free Everyday Enchantment decorative paper and a set from the Starter Kit. I used Crystal Effects atop the duckies and the cuckoo clock. You can't really see it in the photo but it is VERY attractive in hand.

Another year for Valentine card-making has come and gone. Here were a few chances I got to snap photos in all the chaos. At one point I had four co-workers crowded around the top of this file cabinet "table" and four more hovering nearby for their chance to use the supplies. There were a lot of laughs and, frankly, some of them just did not want to quit stamping!!!

I've been working a little bit trying to get a head start on 2012. It's been sad not having the Workshop Wizard on the demonstrator web site anymore so I decided to create my own Workshop of the Month. This WOTM spans all of Sale-a-Bration instead of the month of January. I'll be working on January's over the weekend but I thought I'd share my SAB wizard sheet with you other fabulous demonstrators for FREE. This has ALL the details you could need, at least I think so. These projects build upon each other so follow them in order to make sure you don't miss any supplies. Inkerbelle's Sale-a-Bration 2012 Workshop PDF . The ideas are pictured in the datasheet as well. I did not post instructions because I try to make all of my projects able to be recreated just by looking at the finished picture. However, let me know if you need guidance. I also highlighted groups of items that total $50 and a SAB choice to go along with them. You should see what I mean. ...

Finished up the Workshop Wizard cards for August with the "Wedding Wishes" card shown here.  Also shown are items you can make with Stampin' Up's My Digital Studio digital paper-crafting software! Stampin' Up! is holding a contest this month to see who can make the coolest project using it. See more information about the contest here . P.S. Thank you, Stampin' Up, for carrying over "The Open Sea" stamp set. This rubber stamp enthusiast approves!!

This is a Workshop WOW à la Aimée. I dyed my white grosgrain ribbon in Concord Crush. I threaded it through a Stampin' Dimensional in the lower right hand corner after the white cardstock it was attached to was adhered to the Cheerful Treat DSP. It makes a corner-tied ribbon. I hope that is clear. I hope you like the idea! P.S. I added a Button Button set stamp to the DSP to fill it in with more pattern.

Here is another card you can make using Stampin' Up!'s Starter Kit. Here I have made a substitution for the kit's punch option. I've used the clover in the Punch Pack. If you cut away two adjacent petals you get a cute little heart that looks very alike to the one in the image. Sending you love on a great New England day. Sunny, fresh and 80 degrees today. Have a great tax-free weekend in MA and stop by my online store if you want to get a good deal on stamps and supplies!

I was unable to attend Convention but my awesome upline, Rebecca, showed me this cool project the attendees got to do. This is my version with Chocolate Chip ribbon and the 1" circle punch. It is very easy to make. I liked the Chocolate Chip and Melon Mambo colors together. Maybe I was subconsciously thinking of food.

This is a really simple yet sophisticated card that is able to be created from our Starter Kit. The kit has $345 of items for just $175 and it supplies you with all the stamps, papers, tools and accessories you need to start rubber stamping!
