SU! Favorites

I look on Pinterest and lots of different blogs for Stampin' Up! inspiration, even though I rarely post here.  Life often gets in the way of posting, but I've decided to post links to some of my favorite cards on my blog each month because it's the easiest way for me to keep track of the cards I love and you can enjoy them with me!  My Pinterest boards get too cluttered!  Clicking on the picture will take you directly to the creator's blog, where you can enjoy even more of his/her creativity!

If you love any of the cards and want more information about the products and how to make them, feel free to contact me.


I just love the new Perfect Pennants!  Don't you?

Be the Difference - Stampin' Up! Style

This year's Stampin' Up! convention theme was "Be the Difference" and addressed how Stampin' Up! allows us to make a difference not only in our lives, but the lives of others we help along the way.  I have been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator/Creative Coach for 14 years.  I started because I had three young children at home and, well, I needed to get away from them and this provided the perfect excuse!  I could control my own schedule, make as little or as much additional income as I wanted and make new friends.  The majority of my best friends are a result of relationships built through Stampin' Up!

I thought it would be fun to share the "Be the Difference" Convention video.  If you look carefully, you will see me on the bus for our Headquarters tour.







If you have ever thought about becoming a Creative Coach just for fun, for money, or for relationships, now is a great time to do it!  We have special offerings to make it almost irresistible to join now!  Check out the special "Pick a Kit" offer for new Demonstrators.  It's only $99 to join and you receive a kit valued at over $190 (including business supplies) in addition to the Pick a Kit offer!  Click here to sign up!  Use "thestampqueen" for your password.

Extra Perks from Randee:

• When I am your chosen Demonstrator with the Paper Pumpkin Promotion, in addition to receiving your awesome package monthly, you can also be part of my “Paper Pumpkin Princess” Club and join me monthly, at my house, to put together your Paper Pumpkin kit with me!  This is totally optional, but so much fun to get together and have fun.  If you live out of town, when you RSVP, we can Skype you in on the fun!
