I got a wonderful and much-needed weekend away visiting my sister Cindy the last few days! You can check out her blog here. We attended the Great American Scrapbook Convention on Friday and I saw many of the new trends in scrapbooking that I intend to incorporate into my classes using Stampin' Up! products. I'm really excited about using the thick window sheets on pages and for home decor along with my Big Shot and see that glitter is all the rage - thankfully I already have the Stampin' Up! Supernova, Galaxy and Fine Cosmo packs to use!! Now to just find the time between swim meets and my kids' practice schedules to make up some class samples... summer time is always tough for me with my 3 kids at home and so involved with our swim team.
And, with *HUGE* thanks to the help of my awesome brother-in-law Dimitrios, I am now operating on a brand new laptop with all of the data from my old one brought over (do you remember the story of how my beagle destroyed my old one?)... plus, he helped me design this new blog banner and a watermark for my uploaded project photos. Isn't he the best?! I even got a quick tutorial on the use of PhotoShop. It's a great software package that I intend to learn more about quickly. Thanks, "D"!!! Now I can get back to regularly posting and sending out newsletters since I have a laptop again... wooo hoooo!!
Thanks, Cindy and D for the fun weekend - your hospitality, as always, is the best!
And thanks to you, my fellow stamping enthusiasts, for stopping by... until next time, Happy Stamping!

















Hi! I'm glad you had a fun weekend too! Thanks for driving up to visit :) I love your new blog header. You should tell people "Hoppy Stamping" :)
