Mojo Monday Challenge - November 23, 2009

This Mojo Monday challenge was easy using Stampin' Up! products:

• Christmas Jingle striped DSP
• Textured cardstock in Real Red and Chocolate Chip
• Old Olive cardstock
• Stampin’ Up! Exclusive Die Movers & Shapers Curly Label
• Hostess Stamp set - Christmas Punch
• Chocolate Chip, Old Olive and Real Red Stampin' Write markers
• Old Olive 1/4" grosgrain ribbon
• Eyelet border punch

The Stampin' Up! exclusive Movers & Shapers Curly Label die is FANTASTIC. All I had to do to create the card base was cut my 8 1/2" x 11" paper in half length wise and line it up on the die. The unique cutout has perforated marks shaped around the cutout piece.

Of course, I had to design the card first using Stampin' Up!'s My Digital Studio. You just have to get this program!
If you would like to learn how to make any of my cards posted on my blog, please contact me by email - click here.

Do you or Santa need help finding the perfect gift? Have Santa contact me. I will help with suggestions or Santa can purchase gift certificates from me (redeemable only through me).

I love comments; please leave one.

How to host a Stampin' Up! Workshop

A Stampin' Up! workshop is not your average Tupperware Party where your friends leave with a lighter bank account. At a Stampin' Up! workshop your friends will leave with something they created by themselves. You won't be an audience watching someone talk about each product; you will be getting a hands-on experience on stamping. Stamping is a great relaxing hobby and it is SO EASY. Stampin' Up! has great products to help you.

Are you ready to enjoy and create with your friends? Follow these easy steps:

1. Call me at 205-221-5619 or email me
2. Pick a day that works with your schedule for a workshop in your home
3. Decide what your would like to create: card, party favor, gift
4. List forty friends in 4 minutes and send invitations to ALL of them
5. One day before workshop, call your friends to remind them
6. Prepare a light dessert, sit back and let me do the rest

The Workshop

1. Receive a free Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalog
2. Learn the art of stamping
3. Enjoy the fellowship with your friends
4. You and your friends will learn to create easy paper craft items
5. I am not a sales person, I am someone who enjoys stamping and loves to share my love of crafting. I do not pressure your friends into purchasing from me.
6. Have an opportunity to receive free Stampin' Up! products

Are you responsible for your next women's club meeting? I am available to come to your next meeting - it won 't be your ordinary meeting; everyone will get an opportunity to create something fun and cute. Call me about arranging a class for your next club meeting.
