I wanted to post because well its that time of the year that us demos start to get very excited because its just around the corner to get a new and wonderful Catalog! Shhh I've already seen the cover of it and can NOT WAIT to see the inside of it.. I've also heard of goodies inside and wish it was time to order already... I will actually get a change Next week as one of those amazing perks being a demo is ordering early.


So I wanted to come and see who would want to pre-order a New Catalog? All you have to do is pay for the shipping which will be $5.95 (To cover Paypal charges & shipping)


Here is a Paypal Button to make things easy. I will be mailing out the catalogs I believe by 3rd week of June to make sure you have your catty right on time.

I can not thank you all of you that have gone to my other blog and have left awesome comments it means more then I could ever say. HUGS and Love to all!

Thank You!!

I just wanted to come and post and say THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH for all the love you have been sending me. I can not even begin to tell you what it means to me. I have been actually stamping and posting.. Although not everything is Stampin Up but its actually been wonderful because I returned to crafting for fun which I actually had been missing. So now I am doing it w/out pressure and all my mojo is back!

So if you don't mind not seeing all Stampin Up then come visit me at my other blog where I am having a blast! I hope to get back in the swing of things here by the end of the summer as that is when the YUMO new catty will be out and I am pretty sure I wouldn't be able to control myself and will HAVE to get back to the swings of things!

So if you like stop by scrapbookmamaof4kidz.blogspot.com and say hi!

Sending you all HUGE Hugs and thank you's to all!!!

With Pain Comes Growth and Knowledge

Certain things in life make us grow and learn and for me being a Demostrator has helped me so much. I have learned that there are so many amazing and talented woman who I love dearly whom I would have never meet would it have not been for being part of the Stampin Up family.

I have learned that teaching is something I love to do. I love to be able to help someone come into my class and being so excited to share what they learned w/someone else.

I've learned that a handmade card is worth so much more and is so special and to give one is sharing a piece of yourself.

For anyone that knows me they know how much I have loved being a Stampin Up demo I love to image all I can create... Those sleepless excited nights because I know my SA Sistahs and I would be waiting for that awesome surprise Stampin Up has for us Demos... or waiting to sign up for an event.. there is nothing like it....

Although I love what I do So very much I love my Family even more... and thus this brings me to having to do something that might hurt a bit now but I know its our Lord's will because I have learned from what I have gone through in my life that everything happens for a reason...


I have decided to become a hobby demo. I will try to keep up with my qtr. sales but if not I will let it go...

My Stampin Up online store will be open until March 15th and then it will close. For my current customers I can not say what you mean to me! Of course you can email me and I will be more then happy to place your order for you and again can not say Thank you enough for not only your business but your friendships.

I also want to thank the few of you that stop by here and peek at what I might have been up to...


Like my title of my post says W/pain comes growth and knowledge and my faith will help my family and myself through what we have to because our Lord is with us. I know just as before he will walk us into where we need to be.

God Bless you and as always thank you for stopping by....

Monday Daily (Share) Challenge

Hello All. Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I thought I would stop by and share one of the cards we made Friday night in my Vintage Just Because and Thank you class.

Everyone loved this card because some learned how to do faux-tearing technique which is really fun to do.





Isn't this card so much fun! The gals had the giggles when I showed them how easy and fun it is. I am busy getting ready for my Free Library class I will be teaching this Wednesday. It's sure to be a blast!

Also I am working on getting things ready for my Downline appreciation lunch for the 13th. I would love for you to join us. Maybe some of you liveout of state and are saying but Ellie how could I be there! Well guess what you still can! Just ask me how and you'll be part of our Downline appreciation lunch fun. I can even have a cupcake delivered to you from my fav. place!!! (that's our Group Mascot LOL). I am really looking forward to a wonderful afternoon with the Conga Gals.. :)


Well I think I did enough rambling for today! As always thank you so much for stopping by!

Yes I am Still Here!

This has to be one of my latest post I've ever put up! lol... I just wanted to let you all know that I am around but suppppppppppppppppppppperrrrr busy.

This week I have been getting my boys after school and so my time has been limited as well working on special projects plus as getting ready for my free class at the library next week!! The cherry on top is getting a Downline Appreciation Lunch together for my amazing gals in my team. Would you like to join us? Just email me on how you can!

I actually got a little downtime tonight while I was watching American Idol I made this little page on My Digital Studio. I am the Queen of Multi tasking I tell you ha..






Yes another Page of Ms. Sassy! lol These Pictures are actually from last Halloween but in my house you would never know that since she is ALWAYS dressed up in something! Its so much fun seeing her have fun and enjoy herself. I was a real tomboy when I was little so I never really liked playing dress up or cooking or nothing that she loves to do so not only is she getting to enjoy it I am for the first time as well! I LOOOVEE IT :)

Well as always I thank you so much for visiting my little world.

Scrapbook Club Share

Happy Saturday all! Coming to the home stretch with the kiddies all being at home this week! Monday they go back and then I can go back to my "regular" routine (I hope hehehe).

Today I wanted to share w/you actually the sketch I used for my Scrapbook Club. We are having a blast and I must say these ladies are super creative!


This is one of the sketches this month I decided to share it using My Digital Studio . I hadn't had a chance to play w/it and I really missed it! Its so much fun all the creating and NONE of the mess! lol




I actually changed the page size from our 12x12 in our club into a 8 1/2x11 I like this size.. HMMM I think I will actually see if I can make an album in this size. This is Ms. Sassy in one of her Birthday pictures and I just went in and edited the picture w/My Digital Studio and was able to use the same picture 3 different ways! LOVE IT!!

If you would like to order your very own My Digital Studio you still can! Just contact me and I will be more then happy to help you with that! Well its time to break out my Semi Chef hat and make some Saturday AM breakfast for the family! Hope you enjoy your weekend!

As always thank you for stopping by!
