January Flowers

I don't know about you, but I'm ready for some springtime!

Right now, you can get a set of Blendabilities free with each $50 purchase, thanks to the Sale-a-bration promotion!.

Flowers in the snow

Cold. Snow. More cold.

How about some nice, cheery flowers! I used Wisteria Wonder Blendabilities to color this fabulous stamp from the set Bloom with Hope. It makes me feel a little better about winter!

Technical difficulties and a little hope

I had pictures taken and ready to process, but my laptop died over the weekend. It had lived a long and serviceable life, but it's a wrench in my productivity (and my budget). I am experimenting with blogging from my iPad, which hasn't worked too well in the past, so bear with me.

We made this card at last week's Stamp Club, which was all about Blendabilities. The flower image is from Bloom with Hope, a hostess set and one of my favorite sets in the new catalog! I can't get a picture of it here, but the link is http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=133952&dbwsdemoid=2007770  Tons of gorgeous floral images and some lovely sentiments, too!

You can earn host benefits on any order $150 or more, and choose this set for part of your host dollars. Let me know if you'd like to do an online party with your friends to earn this set!

Blooming with Blendabilities!

A couple weeks ago, I shared some of my practice coloring on my Facebook page. This was one of those images, and I think it turned out ok! It belonged on a card, and here it is. If you're interested in learning more about Blendabilities, send me an email!
