embellishment share - now open

***Edited - if you have been redirected to this page from PayPal, I am currently waiting for a new group of 8 before I bill you for the paper pack. Please E-mail me to add your name to the waiting list***
Please do try to use the "Buy Now" button first - as of February 3rd, I do have Embellishment shares available for purchase. Thanks!!

Have you fallen absolutely in LOVE with the brand new embellishments in the NEW Stampin' Up! catalog? I am organizing an Embellishment Share and you can recieve a sampling of each of the new items at a fraction of the cost of buying a full package of each new item. If you were to purchase one package of each of these items, you would be spending $107 plus shipping and tax, BUT instead you can join this embellishment share and have everything packaged and shipped directly to you for only $18!! YES, I did say SHIPPED to you - shipping is included in that price. Isn't that exciting?!!

Your embellishment share will include these 52 pieces: (Click on each picture for a larger view)

sweet sunday sketch winner

Hello! I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting all day - it's been a crazy day and I completely forgot about this until just now. Oops! Today's winner is #5, Alanna! I love Alanna's creative take on the sketch, turning it vertical and adding the sentiment to the side. And you just can't go wrong with buttons!!

I am simply amazed by all of your cards. It's like when I make myself a sandwich - I love my sandwiches. They're perfect with everything I like on them. But then when my husband makes me a sandwich with the same ingredients, it tastes so much better! I love what you all have done with the sketch this week. Thanks so much for participating - I really am looking forward to see what you all come up with next time!

I'll be back Sunday with another sketch -

This card uses Vicki Chrisman's sketch for Taylor's cupcake anniversay challenge and it was fun to do, although I'm not crazy about this card - maybe because it make my eyes go a little crazy! So much going on with all the patterns I guess... Alright - on to the next one!!

It's been so much fun trying all of these sketches - you know me, I'm a sketch girl. Hopefully I can get a few more done before the deadline...
