Janell had given me one of her tags earlier so I attached it to this jelly jar filled with hot chocolate.  Perfect for a teachers gift, stocking stuffer or ...

Guest Stamper, Donne

Scroll all the way through to the bottom and enjoy all these great cards, and at the end you will find another contest drawing.  You won't want to miss it!!
My guest stamper for today is my dear friend, Donne.  Donne is actually not in my downline but instead she is in my SIDE line.  This means we signed up to be a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator under the same person.  Since our direct upline has retired I invited Donne to come to the C3 (Christi's Creative Crew) Team meeting so she can help me when I need to bounce ideas off from her.  Donne is famous for lots and lots of great shares.  She is a fabulous demonstrator and we can all glean great ideas from her.
These are the cards that she shared...

 Thoughtful Branches was her focus.  Here she used it to make a Christmas Card

 I'm really loving this one, and she even brought me some Designer Paper FROM THE PLAYFUL PALETTE 6x6 paper stack.  so I can make some for the store!!  WOOT!! WOOT!!

 Another Christmas Card from THOUGHTFUL BRANCHES.  She combined it with the SOFTLY FALLING Embossing Folder and the CHRISTMAS GREETING THINLITS DIES.

This could be a Christmas Card as well, but I love how she also used the SWIRLY SCRIBBLES Thinlits for the snow.  I will be casing this one for sure!

She used the beautiful FLORAL BOUTIQUE Designer Paper for this card with the FLORAL PHRASES Stamp Set and the very cool Happy Birthday is a single stamp called STYLIZED BIRTHDAY

 Oh. my goodness,  her cards are so cute and I cannot wait to get out my new stash (which arrived yesterday!!) to make this darling bird card. The stamp set is BEST BIRDS and it can be bought in a bundle (saving you 10%) with the Framelits called BIRDS & BLOOMS.

Last, but not least, is this darling card using the flower stamp from the JAR OF LOVE Stamp Set that can also be bundled with the EVERYDAY JARS Framelits.  So simple and cute.

Are you inspired now to make some cards for yourself??  You can do it!! Especially when you have all these fabulous ideas from the past 3 days.

Help me give a shout out to Donne for all these cute cards!

A C3 Christmas Card Swap part 2

As promised: here are the beautiful cards that the girls on my team made for our Christmas Card Swap

 Lynda's card. Beautiful! I love how she used the Home For Christmas Designer Paper and the Very Vanilla Subtle Stripes Ribbon together, plus using several coordinating colors on the stamped image. Click HERE to view the Holiday Catalog

Inez' card - she used the very striking Holidays Fancy Foil Designer Vellum.  I have not dug into my pack yet so I am always glad for new ideas to use it with.

Carla's card - Carla cased this card from the Holiday Catalog and made it her own by switching things up just a bit!  The catalogs are one of our best sources of inspiration!

Peggy's card - using the Flurry of Wishes bundle. I love the soft color of Soft Sky on this card.  I believe the cut out of the snowflake is retired, but it works perfectly on this card!

Dawn's card - she also used the Flurry of Wishes stamp set and I love how just changing up the colors  makes the stamp set so versatile.

Sue's Card - beautifully made using the Happy Scenes Stamp Set.  This set can be purchased in a bundle with the Hearth and Home Thinlits Dies.  These dies are so popular there is a back order.  I always say - buy  what you really really want right away to avoid this problem. A couple other new items Sue used on her card are the Softly Falling Embossing Folder and the Silver Cording.  (This cording is also available in gold).  The little stars - perfectly made using the Stars Border Punch and Silver Glimmer Paper from the Main Catalog. Click HERE to view the main catalog.  Want to get a catalog for yourself?  I would gladly be your demonstrator.  Just place an online order using the Hostes Code below and I will gladly send you a catalog.
Didn't my girls do a beautiful job!!  I do believe you will see me casing some of these ideas for my classes!!  I am so proud of all of them... Wouldn't you love to be a part of our team too?? We would love to have you!  Just click HERE to get started.  Just click on the JOIN THE FUN tab, and Please, Please, Please, when placing your order on line use the HOSTESS CODE ANWC9P9G for the month of October

Come Stamp With Me!

TODAY is the LAST DAY to use the HOSTESS CODE for September which is W7ENX7EF.
I will have a new hostess code for October. 
.......................................................................................................................................................
Look who popped in to stamp with me at last weeks COME STAMP WTIH ME open house style class... These sweethearts belong to our new pastor and wife.  We are super thrilled to have them here and I was delighted to have them come to create.

Chloe wrote a wonderful note to her grandma who is having a birthday real soon.

 Christopher Jr. knows that his gramma is a princess

 Charlotte is the oldest and is very creative.

 Mommy helped little Clara make a special card for Grandma too.

When it was time to leave we caught them being so sweet, sitting on the bench in our rose bed just waiting for mom to come out.

What I learned this day:

1. These children - everyone of them, are super polite.
2. They are also very creative.
3. Their mom and dad have done a super job in their training.
4. Tuesday's are not just for the ladies, kids are welcome too!
5. It's never too early to learn to be an encourager (can you imagine how blessed their grandma will feel when these sweet cards arrive in her mailbox?)
6. I LOVE this new family in our life.
7. Tuesdays are a perfect time to come with your home schooled kids. 

Have you come to a COME STAMP WITH ME TUESDAY class before?

These are the cards that will be out tomorrow when YOU come to stamp with me!!

Thanks for stopping by!
