Hello Everyone,
Well, it has been a crazy busy kind of a day so I am running behind with my post today. It is with some sadness that I contemplate the end of Sale-a-bration. It has been fun working with this year's Sale-a-bration stamp sets and seeing all the possibilities they have to offer and I love the new Scallop Trim Border punch. Not to mention the wonderful DSP Welcome Neighbor and all the great stamp sets from the 2009-2010 Idea Book and Catalog that we had to choose from. I really think this was the best Sale-a-bration but now it's time to say goodbye for another year.
For those of you who are still sitting on the fence about placing an order and taking advantage of the Sale-a-bration free products, then my advice is to navigate your way to my website and visit my Online Store to place your order before 11:50pm Mountain to qualify for this promotion. It's as simple as creating an account and placing your order. The website walks you through the steps to help.
If you would like to look through any of the current catalogs, you can download a digital copy from my sidebar of my blog to peruse and make your wishlist.
I always tell my customers that a wishlist is a very important thing to have. It helps you to remember items that you have seen and where you found them so that when you are looking for them next time, you have the information right at your finger tips. It also helps you in that you can write something down and think about it awhile and see if it is something you still want in the future. It also makes a great list to give to someone who maybe would like to buy you a gift for your birthday or other special occasion.
Tomorrow is the start of a whole new month and a whole new promotion to get excited about. We will be entering the world of two step stamping with some great special offers that I think you will enjoy.
Hope you all have a wonderful evening.
Until Next Time.
Stampin' Hugs,
Tricia Butts

Tuesday Share: A Note of Thanks
Hello Everyone,
Today I thought I would share with you a project that I came up with by accident. I was playing around with my Big Shot and the Box #2 die one afternoon and started thinking that it would make a great Note Card Holder. My husband when he saw it, thought it would be a great Business Card Holder (but that's a story for another day).
So, I decided to create some Thank You notes that are quick and easy to create while still providing variety (if you are like me and don't like to make a lot of things exactly the same). The Thank You cards are inspired by Dawn Griffith, a wonderful, creative demonstrator.
You can customize your Thank You notes by varying the colors used as well as the stamps to create your design.
I chose my colors from the Soft Subtles color family from Stampin' Up and used the large flower from the Vintage Vogue stamp set (from the Occasions Mini catalog) to create the background on the note card and I created the border by using the Scallop Trim Border Punch (Free Sale-a-bration Product with $50 purchase of Stampin' Up products) on a scrap of cardstock to make a stencil. The sentiment is from my faithful favorite stamp set, Teeny Tiny Wishes. I used Whisper White cardstock for the base for a crisp, clean look and I chose Bashful Blue, Pretty in Pink and Barely Banana Classic inks to create the card variations.
For the Note Card Holder I chose Barely Banana cardstock and cut out the box shape with my Big Shot and the Box #2 die. I then decorated one side of the cardstock with the Sweet Swirls wheel and Melon Mambo Classic ink for the inside of the box and on the other side I used the vine stamp from Vintage Vogue stamp set with Barely Banana for a tone on tone pattern for the outside of the box.
I put the box together using Sticky Strip adhesive to give the Note Card Holder extra strength and stability. I decorated the front of the box by stamping the fabulous friend stamp from the Oval All stamp set in Barely Banana Classic ink on Whisper White cardstock. I then punched it out using the Large Oval punch and then matted it onto a piece of Barely Banana cardstock punched with the Scallop Oval punch. Using Stampin' Dimensionals, I attached it to the front of the box.
Now wouldn't this look cute sitting on your desk, full of note cards just ready for when you need them? It would be a great gift idea too (I am thinking it would be a great Teacher Gift for the end of the school year).
Hope you enjoyed today's project share and hope it inspires you to get crafty in your craft room.
Until Next Time.
Stampin' Hugs,
