Oh A Working I Will Go..

Hello everyone!



Just wanted to let you know I've been working on a couple of things including my cards for Sherrill I am having such a wonderful time doing all these cards. Did you know that when the samples are no longer current they will be donated to a Children's Charity like Ronald McDonald house here in Las Vegas. Isn't that such a wonderful cause.



I wanted to share what I have done so far. I also have been working on other projects for upcoming classes as well as Gifts and as well as my Etsy store NOW to take pictures of all it! lol.


Here is a little collage that I thought I would share.



Its late and I am working on my newsletter For April. It is going to be a VERY FUN Month I know you will be very excited when you hear about it. Make sure to check my Newsletter Blog tomorrow for updates. Today was the last day to order to be able to enjoy Sale-A-Bration so I hope you were able to get those YUMO goodies.


I thank those of you who placed an order with me. As for me I am so happy you stopped by I will be back tomorrow with my Diva Challenge.

Story Behind the Girl

As promised I said I would tell you about the set I used yesterday called "A Kind Word" I really had been eyeing that set for a while and guess what I was able to earn her by stamping! As a matter of fact I got hired to stamp. I know you all must be saying WHAT.. Yes on Monday I got a box full of goodies for me to work with. HOW FUN IS THAT? Another perk of being a demo. I was hired by the wonderful and amazing Sherrill Graff

She's an amazing woman who has helped me and so many other demo w/our business. I am so happy to be able to do this as its so much fun. SO I will be busy making samples and if your demo and maybe would be interested in doing the same check it out HERE Not a demo yet? WELL what are you waiting for right now is the BEST AND AMAZING time to do so . Just email me @ ellie.augustin@hotmail.com and I'll be more then happy to answer any questions you might have.

Right now you can even get your kit for 3 easy pymnts and if you do so your kit is on sale for $169.00 I know my jaw dropped when I saw this amazing deal. I love what I am able to do and would love to be able to help you do the same.

Ok so of course I could not stamp that cute little girl from "A Kind Word" and not stamp the other right? Well here is another card I made.



Coloring this girl with my Stampin Up Markers was VERY relaxing and I really love how it turned out :) Well I am off as I have loads to do today and tomorrow is my youngest son's 6th bday.

As always thank you so much for stopping by and HUGS to all!

Diva Challenge #120

Time for another Diva Challenge! This week's Challenge was a color challenge :







This is what I love about being part of this team each week I get a challenge that really does make me put on my thinking cap on. As with these colors which again aren't really what I am use to using. So its been fun coming up with new creations every week!






Here is my card I came up with. I actually JUST recieved this set yesterday. This set has a story but that I will share with you tomorrow! lol.. yes you have to wait for it! :) I love how she is so carefree and I thought this sentiment from Fifth Avenue Floral was perfect for it.


So now that you have seen my sample stop by the Diva Blog and see what the other gals came up with!

I hope everyone is enjoying their week. I am off to work on some other projects I am working on. As always thank you for stopping by!

Dear Friends....

Hello everyone, Please excuse my absence as I have not been feeling to well and was even in the ER on Thurs (feeling better now) as well as personal things I have been dealing with. I am in the middle of a journey right now that is very important to me and I need to take my time with it.

I have a couple of things to share with you. First of all I have opened an Etsy's store. Don't know how that will go but I will try it and we shall see how it goes. One has to stretch and use all the resources we can and this is one of them for me. Hopefully it will be able to start something fun and let me have another way to have another creative outlet. You can see my creations for my little store on the sidebar. Right now there is not much but its a start.

Also wanted to remind you about that amazing deal Stampin Up has right now about being a demo with its 3 easy Payments. If you have ever wondered about it NOW is the time to join. I would love to have you on my team.

Now if you have read all my rambling then you deserve a little card right? lol.. Well here is my card I created today. I have made it a goal to not only stamp for business but to stamp so I can show those people in my life what they mean to me and that is where I am right now. I am trying to stamp for them. If it wasn't for the love and support I would not do what I do. So this one is for one special friend who hopefully wouldn't see my blog for a while she's working hard right now so maybe she wouldn't check until this card gets to her! lol




For this card I used many of my favorite accessories like Kiwi Kiss ribbon and paper piercing and those so cute mini clips. I wanted a soft and special looking card. I hope she will like it as this sentiment could not be any more from my heart.

I hope you all have a wonderful and blessed day and as always thank you so much for stopping by!

Time Flies When....

Your so busy! lol.. I have been busy doing stuff about the house and personal things that I haven't had any mojo GASP.. I do have a couple of cards to share with you though. These well be my Easter cards I will be doing this year.
Here is my first card. See I told you I would stamp again using Fifth Avenue Floral! lol



For this one I used Handsome Hunter and ran it through my Big Shot w/my Textured Plates I LOVE THEM soo much they are awesome! and the ribbon is from my SAB ribbon bundle ..(only 2 more weeks to take advantage of Sale-a-bration!) I used my chalks to give my flower that pretty soft effect. All you do is stamp your image w/Versa Mark and then use your Chalks and and the Versa Mark will grab the chalk and give you this awesome look!



For this card I kept it simple and just used a piece of Urban Oasis DP (LOVE IT) and stamped the sentiment from All Holidays and again used my SAB ribbon.
This is especially nice when you have to do more then one card. I am off as my boys will be here soon. Hope your enjoying your St. Patty's day and thank you as always for stopping by!
