More free stuff from Stampin' Up

I am gearing up for my next Stampin' Up event, thinking spring and showcasing some new free products.

This Stamp set and DSP are bundled together and are free with a 100.00 purchase.
This a die set that coordinated with the stamp set that will be available for purchase March 1st.
We will be making a card similar to this.

How stinkin' cute is this paper? It's part of the free bundle.  And yes, we will be making a cute little purse.
And just in case you are wondering why I am in spring mode, this is our lake view. When I am sitting in my rocking chair, this is what I see.

Dryer Sheets

Let me start by saying I don't use dryer sheets, I use those wool balls and love them.  However, for some reason my husband doesn't trust them so he tosses in a half of dryer sheet. He is Dutch and very frugal, just in case you were wondering. Anyway, when my friend Becky was here, she had seen on Pinterest cards using dryer sheets so I decided to give it a whirl.
I used Stampin' Up adhesive sheets to adhere it to the cardstock.
 I then stamped over the top.  This one I'm on the fence if I like it or not, so it's not finished.

 This one I really like.
There is a close up. The pictures don't do it justice but it adds dimension and texture for a fun effect.

 Here is a card using the Memories & More pack.  Inside the box was a huge assortment of dodads designed to use for scrapbooking.  But it was a great value and I wanted to show my customers how to think outside the box so we made cards out of them.


I came across the leftovers and decided I needed to make a bridal shower card to have on hand, just in case.

I WAS on a roll!

It's been snowing and blowing with icy roads for the past week. Here is my lovely view.
 All my fun stuff has been cancelled so I decided to be productive.  I went though all my stuff in my two cubby holes, got rid of tons of stuff that should never have moved with me, and decided to keep the momentum going and go though nooks and crannies in my craft studio.
Then this happened.
 There was a light dusting of snow on top of a very icy side walk and I fell and sprained my wrist.  At least I didn't break it and it's my left hand, but still...….

 Lucy hasn't made an appearance on my blog for a while so she thought it was time.

Bits and Pieces

Here are a few cards I made from a pile of my leftovers.

Organized

I'm in an organizing like of mood.  I went though my cubby hole and all the unopened boxes from 1 1/2 years ago when we moved and got rid of more stuff.  The boxes were marked so it wasn't as if I had no clue what was in any of them, but an awful lot of them were marked "Unfinished Projects".  So I sifted and sorted and banged my head quite a few times ( I did say it is a cubby ) but I managed to get though all the boxes and tubs and actually got rid of some of my treasures.
As long as I was in the spirit of organization, I decided my growing number of cards needed to be organized as well.

And was that ever a good feeling to get that done.  Now when some wants to buy cards from me, I'm all set.  By someone, I mean my sister,  last time she wanted to buy some cards, they were everywhere, I was scurrying around like a little squirrel trying to remember where I buried my nuts.

Now I'm ready to tackle a few that have been started, and some left over kits from events, ect.

Oh I have a lot more than what is in this little pile, .they are just scattered here and there just like my cards were
