On Stage Event!

In an earlier post I showed you the beautiful necklace that I earned for being a SILVER ELITE demonstrator with Stampin' Up!.
I also showed you all the "stuff" I got for going to the next Stampin' Up! event which is held in several areas around the globe, but the closest one to me is in Wisconsin.  I am so thankful that my dear friend, and stamping partner, Carla, is joining me on our little weekend adventure.  Carla and I met through a Stampin' Up! workshop that I held and that she attended, and then wanted to host a workshop of her own.  It wasn't long before she decided to join my team and we have become the best of friends.
My next goal is to reach $100,000.00 in sales and it is so VERY CLOSE!  I would love to achieve it by the end of this year!!  Won't you help me??  For everyone who places an ONLINE ORDER using this HOSTESS CODE: DBQFMW6N this weekend...Friday, November 13th-Sunday, November 15th, while I am off to Wisconsin, I will give you FREE SHIPPING.  How will this work?  When you place your order on line, your order will arrive at your home, but I will receive an email stating that I received an online order, so be sure to NOT click on the no reply or I will not be able to refund your shipping to you.  If you are a regular client I already will have your address info, but if you are NEW to me, I will also refund your tax amount!! BUT I will need all your information so that I can send it out to you.  If your order comes to $150.00 or more then you will NOT use the HOSTESS CODE and you will receive the hostess benefits yourself (10%).  It is a win-win deal!!
OK~here is the link for my online store http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/christiwaite/, just copy and paste it into your browser.
While you are there don't forget to check out the WEEKLY DEALS and the CLEARANCE RACK.  Another great resource you will find is when you click on the IDEAS tab.  You will see this cute project (sorry it is blurry, that's what happens sometimes when you copy and paste)

But there are so many more ideas on that tab - just click on the photo there and it will guide you to MANY great card layouts and inspiration!

Let's see how many faithful followers of my blog will help me out with my goal~I really appreciate each and every one of you.  I have had several replies on my blog recently and I am so grateful to hear from you all.

Inky Fingers

I figure if my fingers don't get inky, I'm not doing a good job, but this is a bit excessive.

 This all started with a Red Hot Stamp Challenge.  At last months Team Meeting we stamped this "Thank You" using the Baby Wipe Technique,  and Glenda challenged us to make a card from it. We also used the baby wipe to make the back ground paper.

I had enough of the background paper left over to make a second card, but I didn't have something for the centerpiece so I made another pallet at home.  (all this because Glenda double challenged me to use the wood elements that I won in the door prize drawing that night)

I couldn't let a good ink pallet go to waste so I started stamping away

 I love the GROOVY KIND OF LOVE WORDS, the hearts and the butterflies - oh, and the flowers!  Yeah I love them all

I thought I would use up the pallet for a background paper like before but instead of wiping it across my Whisper White Card Stock I pulled out my SHELTERING TREE Stamp Set and stamped a back ground

What do you think?

 Now I just need to make something with all the items I stamped!!

Sentimental Sunday

Tonight is the memorial service for my Uncle Mike.  He loved to listen to the Gaither Vocal Band.  Dale and I love them as well, and I could have picked a TON of great songs to share with you today, but I chose HE TOUCHED ME, because Jesus touched my Uncle Mike and changed his life forever and now, in Heaven, Uncle Mike gets to walk, and talk with Jesus all the time.  I cannot even begin to imagine the joy!!  And my Uncle Mike is whole again - Praise God!  The more of our loved ones that go before us to heaven just makes us long to get there sooner, and yet, it is Jesus who we long to see most of all!
