Did you know that Mother’s Day is not held on the same date around the world? In the UK Mother’s Day is next Sunday (March 19th) and I’m always reminded of stores filled with bunches of bright yellow daffodils. However here in Nova Scotia it’s still way too cold for daffs, or pretty much any kind of flower. So perhaps that’s why Canadians celebrate Mother’s Day in May. Nevertheless for today’s project I decided to create this little favour box using the Celebrating You Stamp Set and Pretty ... VIEW POST
Strong And Beautiful Moments Combine
As the days go by more and more items on the Retiring List are selling out. Sometimes customers like to wait and see if products are going to be reduced and that can happen.

Then I stamped it again onto a scrap of Thick Very Vanilla Card. Instead of my usual yellow rose I ... VIEW POST
Two Types Of Marker
I was talking with a customer recently about Stampin' Blends alcohol markers and the expanding range of colours that are now available. During our chat I happened to mention that she could use any of the Stampin' Up! Classic Stampin' Pads to stamp her images. This came as a surprise to her, and it occurred to me that this might be a fact that's not widely known. It also got me thinking about the two types of marker sold by Stampin' Up! So for today's project I want to show just one way to ... VIEW POST
