Hope Banner and Stampin Up Weekly deals......

Hi, so sorry that I am posting the Stampin Up weekly deals late I've been a bit under the weather with bronchitis and Ive also been busy getting ready for my Open House that is this Saturday.  Super excited. I have some fun ideas & products to share with the gals who are coming to join my.  

This week I want to share a banner that I designed. My inspiration was a banner that I saw demonstrated by Carrie Cudney from Stampin Up's head office at Leadership Conference in January. I as always tweaked it so that it became the March Cricut Club project. I think this turned out cute, let me know what you think.......

Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the web.  Leave me a comment so I know you came by.

God Bless,
Vickie

March....

March is here already. It looks like 2015 is running by just as fast as 2014 did.  March will be a busy time here in my neck of the woods. I have my Stampin' Up House Open house on March 28th, which I am nervous about. I also have a sweet Cricut Club project for March 22nd, more about that later in this post. However before both of those events I am flying out to Omaha to see my youngest son who turned 30 last month. I'll get to see Creighton University where he is going to Law school. I'll also get to see his apartment & where he works. Oh and the most important of all about my visit is I get to hug him in person. Those text hugs just aren't the same as having a big bear hug for him.  

Anyway.... as this is a crafting blog I guess I best get on with the show. A dear friend of mine just celebrated her birthday and here is the card I made and a seek peek at my March Cricut Club project.  Hope you like them. The Birthday card is all Stampin' Up products and the the sneek peek is all Stampin' Up products and the cuts where made on my Cricut.

Just want to remind everyone that Stampin' Up's "Sale-a-Bration" wraps up on March 31st, so if you have not yet found a demonstrator and are interested in buying some of their awesome goodies then I would love to be your demonstrator.  You can order by just clicking the "order now" Stampin' Up button on the right side of my blog and it will link you right to my online store. Remember that during Sale-a-Bration if you order $50 before shipping and tax you qualify for a free item from the exclusive Sale-a-Bration catalog & they just added 4 new items!!! All your items are shipped directly to you so even if you live in another area of the country from me you don't have to wait for me to get them and then ship them to you. YEAH (insert happy dance)!!!  Stampin Up is having some quality difficulties with their blendabilities markers right now, so those aren't available at the moment. I am hoping that this issue will be fixed asap as I have 2 sets of blendabilities on back order and was hoping to receive them in time for my open house.  There is still time so I will be hopeful. :).

Well that's it for today. I pray that your first week of March is productive and happy! I'll be back later this week with the new Stampin Up "Weekly Deals" until then.....
God Bless,
Vickie    

Wow where has the year gone...

Hi there blogger friends and followers.  Sorry it's been so long since I last updated my blogger.  As I mentioned I got a new full time job and well it's a bit more than full time it's 45+ hours a week and with the stuff I do around the house that doesn't leave much time for crafting. As this is the month of Thanksgiving I want to say that I am so thankful for the new job and I know that it will settle down in time and I will be back to crafting more in the meantime I feel so blessed to have a job when so many Americans don't.  Because it's Veteran's day I want to take a moment and thank my son Philip who is currently serving his country and is stationed at Hill AFB in Utah.  He is a 3rd generation military man.  His father served as did both of his grandfathers.  I am very proud to come from a military background and while that means I don't call any one town home I do call the USA home.  I pray that God continue to bless this awesome country.
Today I am sharing the project that my Cricut Club made last month. It's a vertical banner and I think it turned out very cute.

I hope you all enjoy.  Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the web.  Please leave a comment so I know you where here.
God Bless,
Vickie
