Stampin’ Up! All Things Thanks in an Urban Underground – A Last Sneak Peek!

Posted on January 3, 2017 by stampsnlingers

Happy Tuesday, y’all – or should I say…happy day-before-the-Occasions-Catalog-and-Sale-A-Bration-go-live day!? Whoo-hoo! I hope you’re excited and have your shopping lists all ready to go.

So….Finn’s been a little more in the house than out these last couple days – rain rain and more rain! Which means that when he’s awake – he’s a little more….busy…than normal. Usually just playing with his toys, chewing his bones, checking out the cat bowls, trying to make friends with the cats, pulling paper towels from the trash, scooping up little bits of scrap card stock and DSP that might be on the floor, and….

No – that is not his chair. No – he’s really not supposed to be on it. And – no. I didn’t scold him. Cuz…look how cutely he’s laying!?? With his green toy (the one that squeaks and rustles like he’s in the garbage – thanks, Jan!). He did get a little bored soon after the picture and got down.

Rainy days are really hard! 🙁

My card for today is the final sneak peek for the 2017 Occasions Catalog – as of tomorrow, you’ll be able to order any and all of the products I use! This one dove into the Urban Underground Suite – I used the Nailed It stamp set and the Build It Framelits as well as some of the Urban Underground Specialty DSP. To that, I added a couple of sentiments from Thankful Thoughts, from the Annual Catalog. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Falling in Love with All Things Thanks Sneak Peek!

Posted on January 2, 2017 by stampsnlingers

Well, good morning! It’s 2 Jan 17. Only 357 days until Christmas!

Too soon?? 🙂

We went over to our friends’ house yesterday for New Year’s dinner (hope y’all had your black eyed peas and greens!). Finn joined us – and he and the kids wanted to pass along their wishes for a Happy New Year.

Yes, their eyes are glowing like they’re possessed!! They were pretty sure treats were involved and I think they were trying to cast some sort of feed-me-now spell!!

So, folks – day after tomorrow is the big day! The launch of the 2017 Occasions Catalog and the beginning of Sale-A-Bration! Sale-A-Bration is a great time of year – with shopping and hosting and sign-up bonuses! Oh – and free stuff! I’ll bring all the details to you tomorrow so you’ll be ready to hit the ground shopping on Wednesday!

For today, though – how about another whet-yer-whistle sneak peek at the beautiful new Falling in Love DSP and a great sentiment stamp set called All Things Thanks? Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Introducing Online Tutorials: a New Punkin’ Head Rewards Benefit!

Posted on January 1, 2017 by stampsnlingers

Happy New Year!! Welcome to 2017, y’all! I hope you had a fun evening – mine was pretty typical. Meaning that it ended at 9pm! LOL!

We sort of accidentally woke up just before midnight – we’d fallen asleep to Ryan Seacrest trying to channel Dick Clark – and stayed awake long enough to hear some fireworks going off and give each other a Happy New Year kiss. Then it was right back to sleep!

Finny also slept thru the arrival of the new year. Being just a kid, he needs his sleep. And foolishness like staying up till midnight…well. No one has time for that kind of nonsense! Fortunately, the pretty dreary and wet weather discouraged our usual nearby idiots who like to celebrate by shooting guns up in the air! Fools – where the heck do they think those bullets go when they shoot them up in the air?!? Gravity? Hello? I figured we’d get some of that, so I left my girls up in the barn with Bo. Better safe than sorry!

So – since it’s day one on 2017, I’m bringing you a new benefit in my Punkin’ Head Rewards program! Exclusive, Punkin’-Heads-Only Online Tutorials! Here’s a sneak peek….
