Decking the Halls for the Holidays

Stampin' Up has provided the perfect opportunity for you to decorate a house (6¼” X 6”X 5”) creatively for … Halloween, Christmas, and the four seasons. Let your imagination be your guide. My house is a gingerbread house with a hint of snow.  Can you smell the gingerbread? No, but you could put a gingerbread scented room freshener inside…instant gingerbread smells!  What about a tea light to give the inside a warm glow.

Thanksgiving is on the Horizon

Thanksgiving is here and I must share my pumpkins. I was so excited when I discovered the "Season of Thanks" vinyl decor element pieces in the Stampin' Up 2010 Definitely Decorative catalog. I recommend this easy to do decoration.
"Season of Thanks" Lettering
Small 7 5/8" X 12"    $14.95
Black  114887
Chocolate  114883

Medium  13" X 20 1/2"    $19.95
Black 114888
Chocolate  114884

Ordering is easy, too! Click on my shop link and purchase using the item numbers above. The pumpkins are not available through Stampin Up. I purchased my "artifical" pumpkins at Hobby Lobby when they went on sale. You may still be able to find pumpkins among all of the Christmas decorations.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Dee's June Stampin Up Classes

Take 4 Class - June 13
Sunday was June's Take 4 Class. The participants made 4 all occasion cards... get well, thank you, birthday, and congratulations. I always look forwards to the Stampin Up classes. The participants get so excited and are amazed at what they can do. Without know it, they throw away their inhibitions and become creative in their own right. Everyone oohs and aahs over their creations...and get a little bolder with each card. Who knows...there maybe a future Stampin Up demonstrator in the group!
