Small Business LOVE

I wanted to share something very close to my heart.  It's not a card, a Project Life page or even a decor item...it's my family.  My children are my heart.  Abby is our oldest at 5.  Two days ago she started Kindergarten.  My baby got on a school bus and went to Kindergarten...my heart is so full of joy but so heavy at the thought that my children are growing up on me.  Of course I cried after she left, in case you were wondering : )  The reward was seeing her sweet little face as she exited the bus at the end of her school day and hearing the words "I had a GREAT day!"  


My 3 year old twin boys, Brayden and Chase, start preschool on Tuesday.  So I get to go through it all over again.  Although, I know they are super excited to start and it's only 1/2 day, it still rings home that they too are growing up.  

The reason I'm sharing my last few days with you is for a very important reason.  I love my children like any good mom does, and of course I want to provide for them every way that I can.  I love Stampin' Up! and my role as an Independent Demonstrator.  It gives me purpose outside of my "mommy' box but it also helps me support them.  Mommy Stamper is a small business.  As a business I use my income to support important things in my life.  My children are those important things.  Pre-school is expensive, especially for twins, back to school supplies, new clothes, new shoes, swimming lessons...they are all part of raising children.  As a stay at home mom I like to contribute as much as I can to our family, and my small business helps me do that.  Small businesses like mine need your support to keep going.  Although I am  a Target lover, I try to support our local businesses as much as possible.  I support our local farmers, local small business owners and other direct selling companies because I understand the importance of small business in our communities.  So before you walk in that AcMoore, Michaels or the like to drop a wad of cash, please consider supporting my small business and get not only superior quality products, but superior quality customer service.  The big box stores can't say that...

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to my loyal customers who help me continue this journey while supporting my young family, you truly are a blessing in my life!

My children thank you!

PP meets PLxSU

Paper Pumpkin and Project Life sitting in a tree, K I S S I N G, first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes one rockin' layout!  I love to use my Paper Pumpkin kit for 'outside of the box' things and create more than just the kit shows.  When I saw this month's kit and the overlay pieces my brain went straight to Project Life.  Not only do I love the color combination but I love how easy it was to create this layout with some of the goodies in my kit!

Wowzer Flower!


I'm sure you've seen Blendabilities all over Pinterest and the like.  They are amazing markers with so many possibilites.  This card is essentially a simple design with a wow effect.  The flower is of course done with the Cherry Cobbler Blendabilities.  The leaves are done with the Old Olive markers, however they are 'muted' if you will, by the piece of vellum that overlays them.  I stamped the sentiment in Stazon Ink directly to the Vellum.  The card is so much prettier in person, but i hope you get some inspiration from this photo.

Masculine Monday #8


Hard to believe we've already done 2 months worth of Masculine Monday's!  I hope they are helping you to create projects for the men in your life!  This one isn't a card, but rather a gift.  One thing I learned about men is the way to their heart is through their stomach.  As funny as it is, it's true!  Most men are happy to receive gifts in the form of food!  Stampin' Up! Tag a Bag Gift Bags are an easy and inexpensive way to gift someone in your life with a little yummy for their tummy!  Cookies, candy and other sweet treats fit perfectly in these bags!
To decorate this treat bag I decided to use the Big Shot.  This month we have a Big Shot promotion that includes a FREE Framelit/Stamp Set Bundle with the purchase of a Big Shot.  One of the best sales I've every seen Stampin' Up! offer.  That's up to a $60 value FREE!  Click HERE to learn more about this awesome promotion!  One of my favorite framelits are the Banner Framelits.  I love how easy they make it to cut out perfect banners that coordinate so well with so many of our stamp sets.  
Loving that super thick twine?  I have good news for you, it's available in the Holiday Catalog that goes live on August 28th!  If you are looking for a demonstrator and need a copy of the catalog, Click HERE to let me know and I will get one right out to you!
