Stampin' Up! Demonstrators Make the Best Friends!

I had the BEST time at the Stampin' Up! Convention in August...my first one ever! It's an annual event that Stampin' Up! demonstrators can attend to Inspire us to inspire you, to Create and experience great joy, and Share with you what matters in my life!

I had the privilege to be inspired by, create with, and share convention with some wonderful individuals: Jess (hi roomie!), Mike, Kris, and Mary! I wanted to make sure they had a few comfort items while we took it all in at convention, so I made these cute little lunchbox tins for them, filled with a few necessities.


Over the last 2 weeks I have tried to put into words how rewarding it is to be a Stampin' Up! demonstrator. I really can't believe I get paid to play with my hobby, and it makes me giggle to call it a "job".

Today is YOUR LAST DAY to join my growing nationwide team for the special offer of the Mini Starter Kit for just $85. If you'd like to have as much fun as I'm having and get PAID to have fun, I invite you to sign up TODAY by clicking here to Join Now and using my password 2stampis2b.

And get ready to Inspire, Create, and Share!

Stamp away today!

Artisan Award Project #10

It's just a small jump to starting your own business with Stampin' Up! until the end of August...just $85 in fact! That's how much the Mini Starter Kit is, and that small hop of an investment can net you BIG rewards!

Not sure you want to make a business out of it just yet (but why not let your hobby pay for itself)?
  • Get everything you want on your Wish List for 20% off, all the time!
  • It's tax deductible!
  • Afraid you can't meet the low quarterly minimums with your own orders? Have one get-together with friends each quarter and that'll probably do it!
  • Getting together with friends and family to stamp and scrapbook is always fun!

For more information, you can e-mail me at michelle@2stampis2b.com or call me at 605-939-0 INK (605-939-0465).

This was my last project for my Artisan Award entry, and it was featured on the Stampin' Up! demonstrator website! The Hoppy for You stamp set is so cute and I had fun creating this little pond scene.

2stampis2b Stampin Up Hoppy for You Artisan AwardI hope you've enjoyed these past 2 weeks seeing the 10 projects that went into my Artisan Award entry. I was excited and honored to find out at the Stampin' Up! convention that I was a finalist! What a reward!

I also hope I've given you some ideas of why I find it so rewarding to be a Stampin' Up! demonstrator. I invite you to ask me any questions if you are considering joining Stampin' Up!. It's a perfect time to sign up right now with the Mini Starter Kit special. I want to share with you this wonderful opportunity to better your life. It would be selfish of me if I didn't!

Artisan Award Project #9

Want all the new In Color ink pads and paper? How about add a neutrals Card Stock pack and a stamp set worth up to $28.95, and all of the business tools you need to start your own business where you can make $100 with just one workshop and pay off your initial investment? Until the end of August, you can take advantage of this no-risk opportunity for just $85! If you decide it's not for you, you keep your entire Mini Starter Kit without penalty or hassles!

For more information, you can e-mail me at michelle@2stampis2b.com or call me at 605-939-0 INK (605-939-0465).

Today's Artisan Award entry card was my attempt at shabby chic...a little elegance flavored with some ragged edges. That flourish stamp from the Friends 24-7 stamp set is one of my favorite images!

Mojo Monday Turns 100 - MOJOMARY

This is my second post for today, so make sure you scroll down!

All week long Mojo Monday has been celebrating their 100th challenge by doing one every day, and today is my friend Mary's turn at her sketch! I had to play along...

2stampis2b Stampin Up Paradise Statement of the Heart

This card uses the Paradise stamp set to create my own "designer paper" on Kraft card stock. I used Craft Inks in Always Artichoke, Mellow Moss, Whisper White, and Elegant Eggplant. The cardstock colors are the same, with the addition of Perfect Plum 1/8" inch bigger to back each 1" square that I cut from my handmade designer paper. I used clear Stampin' Emboss Powder on the Statement of the Heart sentiment. Three black Vintage Brads in the corner top off this card that I will be sending to my new team member, Becca!

Welcome to our team Becca! Prepare to be inspired, motivated, rewarded, and get ready to have fun!

Stamp away today!
