Morning! At least it is while I'm writing this! Our annual Spring Fling event was Saturday and went great! Everyone had a wonderful time and the projects were all done in the time we had allotted! That's always a good thing! I spent yesterday and still today recovering from the event. I always have a great time but so exhausted after these events, I just need some down time. I didn't get a chance last week to get this week's post together so here I am doing them now. I have some pictures to share today and so the post isn't too long, I'll post just a few. I took pictures of everyone's displays but mine! What was I thinking! Since I haven't unpacked yet, I'll take pictures of my displays and post them another day. One of the projects we were worried about the most, went off fine. I only know of one person making a wrong cut, so I'd call that success! That's 1 out of 40 pretty good. I was busy leading everyone making the box so I wasn't taking any pictures while they were making them but did get a couple pictures once they were done.
This is the box everyone made. I found this from The Paper Pixie and she called it the Impossible Gift Box. Not to intimidate anyone we called it the Surprise Box. You can go on You Tube and find her video on how to make this. It's a fun box!
These next two pictures are how the box looks when you open it.
As you can see the top is attached or should I say part of the entire box. When you pull the top up, it creates a whole and that's how you can put your treats or gift inside.
Here's a picture of the entire group with their boxes complete!
This is a picture of the boxes from the table I was a helper at. We used the DSP from the Sweet Soiree Suite. Say that three times fast!
Here are a couple more pictures of my group working on their make n' takes during the day.
We had tables of 10, so one group of 5 worked on one project, while the other group worked on another project then they switched. Thanks for stopping by. I'll start to have pictures of my swaps from Spring Fling on Wednesday. I should have recovered by then!

I've been working on getting everything ready for our big day tomorrow and just haven't had time to get my post together. I made a really cool card but didn't get a picture of it yet. It's already packed for Saturday. I also made a card for my husband, which I do have a picture of, so I'll share that one! I'll get everything else posted on Sunday or Monday. It's a busy weekend! Here is this month's Product of the Month that I'm featuring each Friday. I realize today is the last Friday, but with our semi annual event, I've been a bit extra busy. I thought Stampin' Up! had a video using this bundle, but couldn't find one.
The stamp set comes in wood mount or clear. All the samples I've been making, I've talked a couple of other demonstrators into getting this bundle!
This is the card I made for my husband's birthday this past week. I did case this card, but made it simpler then who I got this from. I used the Myths and Magic washi tape on this card and the sentiment was Birthday Blooms I think. I'll check and will list all the products used. In the meantime. If you do want to get any of the products, you can find all the products in my STORE. Thanks so much for stopping by and I'll be more on track next week and share some pictures of our event as well.
I've been so busy getting ready for Spring Fling, I haven't had a chance to put together a post for today! I have been making LOTS of samples, but they'll be part of up coming posts and didn't want to spoil it for those who will be at this weekend's event. So instead I thought I'd post a few videos of some of the product in the Occasions Catalog. This first video is a showcasing of all the Designer Series Paper in the Occasions.
This next one is the Picture Perfect Party Suite. Great for making birthday and other celebration cards, scrapbook pages and 3D for like party favors!
This last video is all about the Barn Door Bundle. I did get this, but just haven't had much time to really play with it. Hopefully I'll have some samples for you soon! In the meantime, this video will show you how much fun this bundle can be!

Recently one of the women in my monthly swap group, who I've known for a long time, lost both her parents in a week. I've lost both my parents years ago and know how difficult it is, but to loose both in such a short time, must be so hard. My heart goes out to her and her family. Also another friend and customer of mine lost one of her cats recently. She's had a rough time this year with the health of her other cat and has been back and forth to the vet. She was not expecting the healthy one to have any problems. With all this in mind, I wanted to make personalizedcards for each.
Here is the card I made for Mena who lost her parents. I wanted to keep it simple and found this card on Pinterest so went with it. I changed out the ribbon, but I wanted simple and this fit the bill! This is a set in the annual catalog called Touches of Texture. I really like this set but don't seem to use it often! I will have to dig this out more! I used our Blends to color in the flowers & leaves.
This next card is for Doris. The cat she lost looks like a Siamese. He was a beautiful looking cat. I was going to use a retired stamp set I still have and then remembered the cat punch and it's still current! I did case this card but changed several things to make it my own. Thanks for stopping by today. Even though these cards are sympathy cards you could easily change them for anything. I hope you give them a try. If you don't have a demonstrator, I'd love to be yours. I have extra benefits for my loyal customers which you can check out on my VIP Host Code and Wish List.
