VALENTINES DAY....

Are you thinking about VALENTINES DAY yet???

Well I've been working on a few things around here and wanted to start sharing some of them with you. Below you will see a bookmark that is made from a paint chip sample card, and a tag.

I hope they inspire your creativity!

HAVE A TERRIFIC WEEKEND.

Framelits Die Bag Topper...

Below you will find a bag topper that Shelli Gardner (CEO and Co-Founder of Stampin' Up!) made and posted on her blog...{So Shelli}. Click HERE to view the actual post.

When I was checking her blog a few days ago, I knew I wanted to try and make one of these. Below you will see my attempt and MAKE SURE to check out the Occasions Mini Catalog where you can find our new Labels Collection Framelits Dies which I used for the topper.

LEADERSHIP SUMMARIZED - Day 4

Just some more pictures from Leadership to share with you today. We had so much fun and learned so much while we were there. The main stage presentations were terrific, the breakout classes were filled with ideas, the product showcase was filled with lots of goodies and projects to get the creative juices flowing, and the share fair was insightful & helpful.

We enjoyed a delicious lunch each day sitting with new demonstrators....Tammy Morgan from Arden, NC, Sharon Wheet from Albuquerque, NM (Sharon's Blog), and Tammy Fite from Albuquerque, NM (Tammy's Blog)...just to name a few.

I also met a wonderful gal named Jen Blank. She invited me to sit with her and her group (from Florida) during the Make-N-Takes and I had a blast with them.

It's kinda of weird to make friends so quickly in just a matter of days and feel like you will have a life long friendship...but with SU! demonstrators, that's just how it is!

So it was our third and final day at Leadership here in San Antonio, Texas...and it has been such a BLAST to be here and experience everything. I have taken OVER 600 photos during these three days and in the next few weeks I'll be sharing a lot of those with you.

But for tonight I wanted to share with you the (3) PILLOW GIFTS that I made for my friend and roomy, Sue Brown. Each night I put a gift on her pillow for her to close out the day's festivities.

DAY 3 GIFT (had heath bars inside)

DAY 2 GIFT (had lip balm inside)

DAY 1 GIFT (Simply Adorned charm bracelet inside)

Thanks for stopping by and I hope your weekend is WONDERFUL!
