Right Click and Save – Elements of Style

In keeping with my philosophy on CASE’ing and Sharing artwork the controls have been reset so that you can easily right click and save any of the ideas you see here.

I know personally that it is much easier to reference an idea and use it when you have it saved to a file.  So enjoy and right click away. I hope anyway that you find ideas worthy of right clicking and saving.

Todays Sneak Peak features Element of Style – this beautiful set has a vintage vibe to it but looks great non-vintage and is a great “accessory stamp set”. It goes well with so many others. As a demonstrator I received this set for FREE when I attended our leadership training in January! It will be available May 1st.  Just as with the Awash in Flowers – You can earn $5 from me for every $50 in order through the end of SAB that you can then apply to the April Special or any May Purchases.

TREAT- itis

I have decided that demonstrators suffer from “TREAT-itis” categorized by:

1. a compulsion to troll the candy aisles for specials
2. a compulstion to troll the candy aisles for candy that matches Stampin’ UP!s ink colors/embellishments/dies,
3. a compulsion to troll the candy aisles for candy that is discounted or clearanced
4. a compulsion to troll the candy aisles for candy that fits in our Big Shot boxes and treat holders
5. a compulsion to troll the candy aisles for treats that inspire.
6. a  compulsion to troll the dollar and clearance bins for small treats to give away after decorating with anything and everything Stampin’ UP!
7. a compulsion to buy more than 10 of anything we see
8. a compulsion to tell other demonstrators about the great deals only after we have bought the last one in the store
9. a compulsion to teach our customers just how to make anything in the store look better
10. a compulsion to to horde the last one for “just the right” way to use it!

Now to just figure out how to only decorate them and not eat them as well.

Here is my most recent pile of inspiration – these red/pink Christmas candies are perfect for Valentines – save money and stock up on sales now. Stop by and learn how to make these projects in January!
