Christi's Creative Crew: Meant To Bee

For our August Card Club, the girls took over for me in planning the projects

How extremely blessed I am!!

I believe it started out with Jeanne wanting to make this Easy Pinwheel Tower card (inspired by Lynn Dunn)

The HAPPY BIRTHDAY came from the retired SO SINCERE - we just wanted the vertical style greeting and it fit so well with the card size and the smallest NESTED ESSENTIALS Die

MEANT TO BEE is the Stamp Set used and CUTE AS CAN BEE is the Designer Paper

I gifted all the girls a pack of the gold BEE TRINKETS to add to their projects

Super cute 4 sided card - the kids are going to love this!!

Since Jeanne was making this pinwheel card, Debbie decided to make this book binding pinwheel card

Debbie also did a bonus project with this post it style note holder

She found these cute notes and just couldn't help herself!

Open the pinwheel on the top to reveal the message

Linda loves to make boxes so she made this adorable picnic basket style box (inspired by Sam Donald)

Each side holds a special treat

A little jar of honey with one of those honey sticks

Bit O Honey candies! They were my mom's favorites

These projects were so much fun to make - maybe because I didn't have to plan them!!

Thanks girls!!

New kit coming TOMORROW!!

You're going to love this!!

Cute cards and a desk organizer!

Want in on a good deal from me?
When I went to North Carolina in March, where I (plus 3 of my team members) attended the OnStage yearly Stampin' Up! event, I was encouraged and challenged all at the same time because we learned about some changes that Stampin' Up! is making.

The challenge that I came away with for myself is to reach my $300,000 in sales by the end of September.
If I do I will get to walk the stage and be recognized for this accomplishment at the 2026 OnStage event in Long Beach, CA (not that I really like walking the stage, but it really is an accomplishment)

What does this mean for you, and why am I telling you this?
I will need to increase my sales each month and that is where you come in
I am asking you to place your orders with me, and in return I will offer you the listed price of all products.

If you place your order (after April 15th) online you will start receiving a 10% reward on all orders $20 or more, that you can claim on your next order (this all starts April 15th) - therefore, I cannot offer the catalog price. BUT... if you order with me directly I am able to offer you this discount. (I have no control over the online orders)

BUT... I will reward your order according to the amount you order with a product that I will ship to you. (an embellishment, ribbon, etc.) I cannot list what it will be because of the fact that items go on the unorderable list, etc.

For example... If you place an online order of $75.00 I will send you a product valued at $7.50

If you order directly from me I can issue you the discount immediately.

ALL ORDERS will help me achieve this goal

This is how the new rewards program will work:
You can accumulate your rewards for a full 12 months and then you will have some extra "cash" to buy more product!!
Whatever rewards you earn on your purchase can also be redeemed on your next order, you do not need to accumulate!

I still ask that you will please choose me as your Stampin' Up! demonstrator as this will still help out my small business

Thank you so very much!

Pin It Now!

This is the week before Easter - my favorite time of year when we can celebrate that fact that we serve a risen Savior.

This year is our year to have all of the kids over for Easter dinner. We are also looking forward to witnessing the baptism of our oldest grandchild, Tyler. In fact, my husband, Dale, has the honor to be with Tyler in the baptismal tank.

I saw Brenda Quintana (aka Qbee's Quest) make these darling little Easter Baskets using the hexagon dies from the Meant to Bee Bundle

We have 5 little grandkids that I made these for...

Liam's favorite color is blue so I use Azure Afternoon

The girls, Lily and Mercy love Purple and Orange - For the purple I used Petunia Pop and for the orange I used Peach Pie

Sawyer's favorite color is red and Oliver likes Green or Blue, but since I was already making a blue one for Liam, I chose to make Oliver's out of Shy Shamrock.

Keeping the Easter Baskets as "healthy" as I can I chose to skip the candy, and instead filled them with Mini Blueberry Muffins, Fruit Snacks, Cheese Sticks and $5 bills - seems like they are all saving up their "hard-earned-cash" to purchase the toys that they want.

April Paper Pumpkin Kit: Inked Occasions - jut look at that gorgeous box!!
