This morning I decided it was time to check the Stampin’ Up! Inventory Supply Report. Demonstrators can view this report for information about stock levels and expected dates for out of stock products to be received. When I looked at the Retiring List section I was shocked at how many retiring stamp sets were already sold out. Many more are showing as ‘low inventory’.

Elegantly Said On Valentine’s Day
Today is Valentine’s Day and Old Man Winter’s gift is another snow storm. Never mind, I wasn't really planning on going out. But instead I have a great excuse for continuing to migrate the contents of my old laptop to my new computer. Of course as I’m in the craft studio anyway I can take a break (or maybe several) to create something. Today I started with a very striking bookmark using the Elegantly Said and Turtle Friends Stamp Sets. It’s quite a simple layout but ... VIEW POST

Today's project is quite different though, it's a simple design for a corner bookmark and like nothing I've made before. With a sentiment from ... VIEW POST

Elegant And Simple For This Birthday Card
One of the issues I have with "masculine" cards is that they're often drab. But it doesn't have to be that way. While you may want to avoid colourful flowers that are seen as more feminine, it's still possible to create an interesting card. So that was my challenge this morning, and I couldn't help reaching for the entire Simply Elegant Suite Collection to help me. SIMPLY ELEGANT DSP My card began with the Simply Elegant Designer Series Paper (DSP). There's lots of gorgeous designs ... VIEW POST
