Hi There,

Well, Russ and I are back from paradise (Fiji).  As you can see above the sunsets where so very beautiful and I’ve come back inspired.

First thing today, I have an exciting annoucement.  I have a blog candy winner today!

And the winner of the Stampin’ Up! Hostess Set, Summer Afternoon is. . . . . . . . .

Rita Simmons! who commented “I have always loved your tutorials, no matter which stamp set you use.  I like the idea of several tutorials for one stamp set, but I think you already do that.  If I need a western theme card, you have several I can choose from, because you tag them.  I am the minority here, but I like the varity  of each tutorial.  It would tempt me tho to buy a stamp set more often if you had 2 or 3 examples for each stamp set (which is why I have the western set, lol)  Have fun on your trip! and no matter which way you decide to do it, I will still be a loyal follower.  TFS

Rita Simmons, congratulations!   Please e-mail your shipping address to mzindorf@aim.com within 30 days to I can send out your stamp set!

Thank you everyone for commenting.  I love reading the comments and I take your suggestions seriously.

************************************************

Now for some pics from our trip.

You know I take traditional pictures, but I love to take unexpected ones too.

Russ on the beach.

A piece of a view from the resort.

Yours truly, totally chilling pool side.  Yep, no make up.  I share it all here, lol.  You could literally stay in a lounge chair all day.  The staff took really good care of us.  You could order drinks and food and they would bring it to you pool side.  Haven’t hit the scales yet since my return, but pretty sure it will be ugly, ugly.

This guy was chilling pool side too.  Right by my chair, lol.  He was very quick when the resort staff decided to relocate him to the beach.

These guys where chilling pool side in their own way also.  Lots of action by the pool.

Awesome entertainment!

The scenery was so very beautiful.  It was hard to leave there.

I have literally hundreds of photos from the trip that I need to go through.  Russ and I enjoyed shopping, resting, snorkeling, sailing, white water rafting, swimming, beach combing, pillow gifts each night from Stampin’ Up! etc.  It was fabulous!

A big thank you to Stampin’ Up! for providing the trip free of charge for us and a huge, huge thank you to my customers!  Without you I would not have been able to earn the trip.  You all rock!

***********************************************

One thing before I close today, the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog is active on  May 31, 2013.  I have some on hand that can be pre-ordered.  The cost is $6.50 which includes flat rate shipping.  Please e-mail me at mzindorf@aim.com if you would like to purchase one.

I’ll be back tomorrow with a tutorial.  My brain needs to re-adjust to USA time and home life.

Until my next post. . . . . .

Huge Hugs!

Stampin’ Up’s Color Refresh! I love color and I know that you do too. Color is fundamental to who Stampin’ Up! is and what they offer. It’s important for us to stay up-to-date with color trends so I am thrilled to share Stampin’ Up’s updated line of colors, and hope you will be as excited as I am by the new possibilities!

Why now? In 2010 Stampin’ Up! did a big color renovation and shared their plans for smaller color refreshes every three to five years to keep their colors on trend. Well it has been three years and I am excited to announce that the upcoming 2013-2014 annual catalog will include 10 new colors (most of which are returning In Colors from previous years)! Stampin’ Up! is welcoming back some of your favorites, moving some colors around, and introducing one brand-new color, so take a look!

Beginning on April 4, 2013, all retiring/discontinued color products (i.e. ink, paper, ribbon, accessories, etc.) will be available only while supplies last. This means that some products will not be available through the retired list period. Stampin’ Up! did anticipate increased demand and based their forecasts for these retiring colors on historical sales information from previous color transitions. However, even with the most careful planning, the response to a transition of this nature can surprise everyone–including your own personal purchases. We encourage you to get your favorites and look forward to the exciting colors coming in the 2013-2014 annual catalog.

Holy Mackerel!  is this really my 600th card tutorial!   Seems like yesterday that I started my blog.   How long have  you all been hanging out here?  Are you still enjoying the cards that I put up?

I’m thinking about changing things a bit.  I’m finding that I’m not getting as much out of my stamp sets as I should.  So, I’m thinking about doing a series on a set weekly.  Example, doing 2 or 3 tutorials using the same set.  Would this also be helpful to you?  I know it will make me stretch creatively, which will some times be painful, lol.   Let me know your feelings by commenting below.  I’ll be using a random number generator to select one of the commenters and give them this Stampin’ Up! Hostess Set, Summer Afternoon.

I’ll do the drawing on Thursday, May 9, 2013.

About today’s card tutorial, I’m leaving for an all expense paid trip to Fiji in a couple of days.  I was able to earn it by being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator.  Gotta love a job that you can earn income and fabulous trips as well.

Anyhow, my mind is already at the beach so I put it on paper.   Follow along with the tutorial below and let’s go to the beach together!

However, even with the most careful planning, the response to a transition of this nature can surprise everyone–including your own personal purchases. We encourage you to get your favorites and look forward to the exciting colors coming in the 2013-2014 annual catalog.

Stampin’ Up’s Color Refresh! I love color and I know that you do too. Color is fundamental to who Stampin’ Up! is and what they offer. It’s important for us to stay up-to-date with color trends so I am thrilled to share Stampin’ Up’s updated line of colors, and hope you will be as excited as I am by the new possibilities!

Why now? In 2010 Stampin’ Up! did a big color renovation and shared their plans for smaller color refreshes every three to five years to keep their colors on trend. Well it has been three years and I am excited to announce that the upcoming 2013-2014 annual catalog will include 10 new colors (most of which are returning In Colors from previous years)! Stampin’ Up! is welcoming back some of your favorites, moving some colors around, and introducing one brand-new color, so take a look!

Beginning on April 4, 2013, all retiring/discontinued color products (i.e. ink, paper, ribbon, accessories, etc.) will be available only while supplies last. This means that some products will not be available through the retired list period. Stampin’ Up! did anticipate increased demand and based their forecasts for these retiring colors on historical sales information from previous color transitions. However, even with the most careful planning, the response to a transition of this nature can surprise everyone–including your own personal purchases.

Hey There,

Check it out, the name of the stamp I used today is “Christmas Deer” from Stampin’ Up!  I tend to forget about stamps in the Spring and Summer that start with the name Christmas.  But some of them make such great cards all year long.  Like this one.

The complete tutorial for this card can be found below.

********************************************

I’ve added this card to my sales page where you will also find some great deals on retired stamp sets.  CLICK HERE TO CHECK IT OUT********************************************

Card Stock: Stampin’ Up! Whisper White, Old Olive and Early Espresso

Ink: Stampin’ Up! Lucky Limeade, Old Olive, Always Artichoke and Early Espresso

Accessories: Stampin’ Up! Sizzlets Die – Little Leaves, Big Shot Machine

Smeared the Lucky Limeade ink pad directly on the Whisper White card stock using a circular motion.

Stamped the deer using Early Espresso ink.

Smeared the Old Olive ink pad across the bottom of the card stock barly catching the bottom of the deer’s feet.

Smeared Always Artichoke ink across the bottom of the card stock a bit lower than the Old Olive.

Die cut 2 Old Olive and 2 Always Artichoke Sizzlet Little Leaves using the Big Shot Machine.

Assembled the card by adding 2 Early Espresso panels and 1 Old Olive panel.  Adhered the leaves to the front of the card.

Here is the finished card measuring 5″ x 6.5″.
