Hey there! I've been home for a couple of days from Orlando but this is my first chance to blog. After I blogged the Weekly Deals last week, I finished my swaps, anticipating heading out to Orlando for the Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference on Wednesday, January 28. It was not to be. I came down with the a tummy bug during the night and ran a fever most of Wednesday, so we rescheduled our flight for Thursday morning. We made it just in time to eat the lunch Stampin' Up! provides, and I participated in an organized swaps before I even cleaned my plate. (It actually was several days before I had enough appetite to even think about eating most of a meal.)
I was exhausted pretty much the entire time we were there, but I'm still glad I went. I had a chance to see several of my friends from across the country and even got to chat a couple of times with my friend Constanze Wirtz from the Netherlands. We met on the Stampin' Up! cruise last year. That's just one of the things I love about Stampin' Up!; the chance to travel and make new friends from across the country and around the world!
The next day I swapped with these girls, my Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop sisters!
l to r: Judy Garza, Patty Chenail, me, Janet Wakeland, Laura Milligan, Lee Conrey, Jodi Reinert. Hamming it up in the front is BJ Peters!
Thursday night Stampin' Up! hosted the Manager's Reception at Disney's Fantasmic! It is a nighttime show with water and lights, so I really couldn't get a decent picture, but it was fun. Thank you, Stampin' Up!, for always making us feel appreciated!
No Stampin' Up! event is without yummy treats! My downline, Linda Reaney, and I hammed it up with some of the Mickey-themed desserts Stampin' Up! provided:
Lemon Mickey tarts-
Chocolate brownie Mickey-head-on-a-stick-
Truth: I actually only ate the two little push-up cheesecakes on my plate as they were the only gluten-free item offered, but they were just enough and delicious!
For my local stamping friends, YES, the Birthday Bash Stamp-a-Stack for this Saturday IS A GO. This will be my only in-home event this month as my newest grandbaby is scheduled to arrive by c-section this coming Monday, February 9th. I will be helping Kimberly with the new baby, as well as big brother Liam, most of the rest of the month, so my posts will continue to be sporadic until things calm down at the beginning of March.
Today I'm headed to my hometown of Decatur, IL, to check up on my "big brother", Don. Don has had some pretty major health bumps in the road the past couple of months, and so Mark and I are taking the day to drive up to see him for a bit. It's about a 3 hour drive, so I'm taking some paper to cut to keep preparing for my Saturday class. Fortunately. I like to cut paper! lol!
Here are the new Weekly Deals, a day late, but great nonetheless. Go to my online store to order: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net
Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Hey there! I'm just hanging out with Oakley this morning! He is a fun little guy!
I've been prepping the project packets for my online class in little bits of time I've managed to carve out in between Lando and Oakly time.
When you place your online order with me of at least $35, two of the projects you will receive in your January packet is this card using the Crazy About You stamp set. You can view the full supply list for this card and get the Hostess Code to use when you place your order when you click HERE.
Here are the Make n' Takes from Founder's Circle year. We were given the Crazy About You set and the coordinating Hello You Thinlet Dies to make these cute little tags and cards with Flowerpot Designer Paper:
We embellished a Polka Dot Tag a Bag Gift Bag with a Tea Lace Doily, Flower Pot DSP, "hello" from the Hello You Thinlets, a phrase from Crazy About You, and a Clothespin we covered with a bit of Flowerpot paper:
After cutting out the "thanks" with the Hello You Thinlet die, we colored a background of Whisper White with Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, and Pumpkin Pie Blendabilites, then used the "negative space" cut out by the die to let the colors show through:
That's all for now. Don't forget to check out the Clearance Rack, New Arrivals, and the Weekly Deals while you are shopping, and be sure to choose a free Sale-a-bration item when your shopping cart total reaches $50 before tax & shipping.
Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Hey there. Happy New Year! Did you kiss your sweetheart at midnight last night? I did! lol!
A dear friend of mine's only daughter was married during Thanksgiving weekend. I created this card for her gift:
Whisper White card base, layered with Blackberry Bliss, then Smokey Slate. I used the Hearts stencil from the Hearts & Stars Decorative Masks with a sponge dauber to add Silver Encore Metallic hearts. The Blackberry Bliss "happy" was cut with the new Hello You Thinlets Dies in the Occasions Catalog (available starting January 6!)
Adhering these skinny little words can be tricky. They are too thin and delicate for SNAIL or glue dots. Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue and a toothpick to the rescue!
I stamped a sentiment from Big News in the Annual Catalog with Blackberry Bliss on the inside, then used the same Hearts mask to sponge more Silver Encore hearts.
More hearts sponged lightly with Blackberry Bliss ink completed the envelope. I used a ready-made silver glimmery bow, coloring the center with my darkest Rich Razzleberry Blendability alcohol marker to match!
DANGER!!!!!Blendability markers on glimmer paper: the roughness of the glitter will FUZZ the tip of your Blendability!
FORTUNATELY for all of us, the Blendability markers are available to choose as your free item in the Sale-a-bration catalog! When I place my next $50 order on January 6, I will be able to choose a new set of Rich Razzleberry Blendabilites as my freebie! whoo hoo!
That's all for now. I'm going to do a little bit of Christmas-returns and shopping this afternoon, so I've got to fly!
Here's the supply list for Stephanie's card. Go to my online store to order: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net
All orders placed in my online store will receive a Thank You project packet from me. No minimum $$ amount required! Be sure to check out the Clearance Rack and the newest Weekly Deals while you are there!

Hey there! Today is the day I finish up my shopping, both gifts and groceries, then home to finish the wrapping. Kimberly is coming to help! The family starts coming in tomorrow evening and we have Christmas with Mark's family tomorrow night, so today's the day!
Just wanted to let you know I'm going to take a little blogging break, starting today, but I will be back next Tuesday with the final installment of Weekly Deals for 2014.
Until then, this card, created by Ruth Anne Lilley, says it all:
This is my wish for all of you this week! May you find peace and contentment as you celebrate the Savior's birth. May you enjoy good food and make memories with your family and friends. May you reach out and help someone in need by sharing a bit of Christmas cheer.
Here's the latest Weekly Deals:
Let me know if you have any questions or need any help. I will be celebrating with my family, but I will be happy to help any way I can.
Here's the link to my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Hey there! The sickness bug has struck again. It started with a sore throat, now I have a fever. Yuck. But I'd rather get it over with now before Alisa's baby arrives in just a couple of weeks.
Today's swap was created by Sherri Beyrer, who CASED it from Tina Rappe. That's how stamping and sharing works; we all share ideas with each other, which makes papercrafting that much easier and fun!
This jolly old elf is adorable as he is, but wait till you see what comes next!
He stands like an easel, but when you pull his coat and beard out from under his mustache . . .
He opens accordian-style! So easy to add your favorite Christmas greeting and tuck in a gift card!
You can view a gift-card-holder-version of this Santa I showed you last year HERE, that I CASED from Janet Baker. You will find dimensions that you can incorporate into today's card as part of that post.
Here's the supply list for today's sample to order in my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net
