Creative Stamping & Scrapbooking By Kim

RemARKable LOVE Blog Tour - Day 2

Welcome back for Day 2 of the RemARKable LOVE Tour!

I hope you are enjoying the trip!

I absolutely LOVE the Sending Love Specialty Designer Series Paper because it works great for all occassions!

I created this "Friends" card using a sheet of the paper that focused on Chocolate Chip & Pretty In Pink, two of my favorite Stampin' Up! colors.
 
And, of course there has to be a matching envelope.  A hand-crafted card is even better when it comes in a pretty envelope!

See you tomorrow!

SAVE THE DATE! OPEN HOUSE BLOG HOP!

Is this little house cute or what?

I learned how to create the house at a recent RemARKable RAD Retreat that I attended.

Fellow RemARKable & RAD Attendee, Jill created the idea from a box of muffin mix she had purchased.  She created a pattern for the RAD attendees and we went to town creating themed houses!

There were so many wonderful houses created that we decided to share them with you...So, we are going to have an "OPEN HOUSE BLOG HOP."

Be sure to bookmark my blog and check back on February 4, 5, and 6th.

There will be an abundance of themed "HOUSE" ideas from my fellow RAD Retreat Attendees!

AND, after the tour each RAD achiever and myself will be offering a "House" class to our customers to learn how to create a basic box with cards.

The class will include the pattern for the house and an idea sheet compiled from the blog hop and more...

WOO HOO! 

Can you tell I'm excited!  It doesn't take much to excite me...a little house created with AWESOME Stampin' Up! product and a few cards and I am EXCITED!

I will be offering my WONDERFUL team of demonstrators an EXCLUSIVE House Class in February!  So, JOIN MY TEAM today, so you can be there too!  EMAIL ME for additional information.

NOTE:  The sample house pictured here was created using NEW products from the upcoming Occassions Mini Catalog coming in January!
