First I laid the stamp do...stamp side up and the I inked it up using Cajun Craze. Lay the cardstock on top, and then I folded over my grid paper and rub the top of it evenly, then gently lift of the cardstock! So much easier than trying to get an even stamped image the other way!!

The truck image is from the new Farmhouse Christmas stamp set! I LOVE THIS SUITE. It was the first suite that made my list of must haves!! Even though this is a Christmas set, I think it works pretty well for Fall, just leave the sentiments out!
I stamped the image and then cut it out with the new limited Stitched Seasons Framelits. The leaf is also from this framelit set and I used Copper foil sheets
I colored the truck in with the new blends. I used Old Olive, Cajun Craze, Basic Black, Shaded Spruce, Daffodil Delight and Smoky Slate.
The banner is cut from Old Olive using the Triple Banner Punch. I crumbled it all up and then sponged the edges with Cajun Craze. I used the new Braided Linen Trim for the bow!! This can be found in the new Holiday Catalog in the Country Lane Suite!

The bag is basically the same layout as the card. I used a white craft back I bought at AC Moore! I am filling it with fall soaps to give as a gift!!

I hope you liked my projects, be sure to leave a comment. I will be drawing 1 lucky winner to receive this completed project...minus the soaps (oops)

Why is hosting a party always so exciting???? It's thrill of gathering friends and family together to share something you love and....well earn some things for free!! 
Stampin Up is offing and exciting incentive ….Dashing Along Host Promotion

Hosting a holiday event is always fun—and we’ve made it even more delightful with our exciting Dashing Along Host Promotion. If you host a party with $250 in sales from September 1–30, you'll earn our FREE, exclusive Dashing Along Designer Series Paper.

So why is this paper so exciting to get??? Because you won't find it anywhere in the Stampin Up catalogs!! That's right it's exclusive to this offer! But....what makes it sooo much more exclusive and exciting is;  Not only does the paper pack coordinate with the Dashing Deer bundle in the Holiday catalog, but it is how the Dashing Along Designer Series Paper was created!
To create our exclusive Dashing Along Designer Series Paper, we decided to use a mix of old favorites and new patterns to bring you, our hosts, beautiful, traditional Christmas paper. This collection of patterns has an eclectic feel and is perfect for layering, and while the newsprint design isn’t Christmas-themed, we selected it for its versatility and popularity with our Stampin Up families. We hope you’ll love this Designer Series Paper as much as we do, and remember, it’s available for a limited time only!

WOW how amazing does this paper sound??? 

So how can you get your hands on it???

IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!!!!!
     Wow! It's been a little over a month since my last blog post! My apologies...sometimes life just gets in the way! While, I love being with me children and enjoying our summer vacation, I look forward to the upcoming fall!!! AND...I can't wait for the new Holiday Catalog! Stampin UP! Does an amazing job keeping their products right up there with the trends, which I can imagine is no easy task...considering they can not swap out products constantly like the big craft stores.  But I just love love what Stampin Up offers!

One of the many perks of being a Stampin UP Demonstrator, is I get to view the new catalogs and place a preorder ahead of time! This allows me to prepare my classes and workshops for you in advance! 

Starting on September 5th you will be able to view the new Holiday Catalog!!! You will LOVE IT! There's a little bit of everything for the upcoming fall/winter seasons!

With Stampin Up's 30 year anniversary, they have pulled out all the stops!!! 

Love It - Fall in love with versatile new products from the holiday catalog, and there is no doubt you will get creative this season—and the next!
Live It - Celebrate 30 years of living creatively, and Stampin UP gives the gift of creativity and connectedness to all their customers and demonstrations and I get to share this with you! 
Share It - Like I said I get to share all the Stampin UP has to offer with you!! And you get to share it all with your family and friends

I mean look at the cover of the new Holiday Catalog below, isn't it simply amazing? Right!!! And I am sure you're wondering how you can get the new catalog!!! Well, if you are one of my customers, you will automatically receive the catalog in the mail this month. If you need a catalog, be sure to contact me and I will happy to send one out.

Once the  catalog is live on September 5th, you will also be able to view the catalog online!!!
