Custom Card Design!

This week I finalized the design of a Holiday Card for a new business.  I'll be making 150 of them for the owner to send out to her clients, colleagues and supporters.  That is what I love about my job!  I get to make beautiful things!  I can't show you the card yet as it needs to be a surprise to those who receive it!  Next job, design my own personal holiday cards.  I have something in mind....you'll have to wait and see!

 

 

National Craft Month!

Did you know that March is National Craft Month?  Well, here at the Crafty Stamper, I'm ready (well, mostly ready) to share with you some great crafty ideas.  Be sure to check back often to see what's next!  Nothing for today though.  I'm still recuperating from getting home 3 days later than planned from my mini vaca to Virginia Beach.  Stamp Camp is tomorrow and Girl with Glue on Wednesday!  Lots to do to get ready!  Until tomorrow.....

Sale-A-Bration!

How funny is this?  This "warning" is on all Stampin' Up!'s boxes for the Sale-A-Bration promotion!  And the great part is - it's TRUE!!!

Stamp something today...

SNOW DAY!

Hey Scrapbookers!  Make sure you take some pictures today because it's a SNOW DAY!  I'm working on a scrapbook layout for my next class that is entitled SNOW DAY.  It uses the Big Shot snowflake dies, torn paper for snow banks and some punches for a snow man.  Get your cameras out!  I'll post the picture of my pages when they're done.

My New Lights!

Well, he did it!  My hubby installed the lighting above my cutting area! Here is a "before" image.  Notice the dark shadow.  Imagine the shadow I would cast as I stood with the only light behind me.

 

Here is the "after" picture.  Look at all the light!  The shadows are almost gone.  It's usually not this tidy but I had to move everything for him to install them.  Took the picture quickly!

Thanks honey!  It was my favorite birthday present!

Today I am 40...

Well, I guess I don't really feel any differently than yesterday.  40 is the new what?  30? How about 26?  I'll take that. 

So, my gift to you is a free card kit with a $40 order placed today.  You can contact me via phone (845-797-8791), email (jennifer@thecraftystamper.com), online (www.jenniferturoff.stampinup.net) or stop by in person!  So many possibilities! 

I hope you enjoy your day as I will mine.  My hubby is installing some under cabinet lights for me at my cutting station!  Yippee!  I'll post a picture of them tomorrow (provided he actually does it today!)

Here's a birthday card that I have in my online store.  Well, it's almost there....My turning 40 resolution is to complete one project at a time.  Where to start....?

Where have I been?

Wow!  I can't believe what a month this has been.  I was so good in April, getting a post out to you every day and then May came!  Well, here is my list of excuses.  First off, my daughter and I were in a community theater musical production of Oliver!  That started May with rehearsal every day and then two weekends of shows.  Immediately following that, I went to NYC for the National Stationery Show for three days.  More updates on that will follow in the next couple of days (when I can organize what I saw!)  Then there was the Girl Scout meeting to prep and run.  That brings us to today, the beginning of Memorial Day weekend.  Granted the holiday is earliest this year but wow, the end of May?  How could it be?  Hopefully, we can get back on track soon!  Stay tuned!
