My card today, using the Bloomin' Marvelous Set, was inspired by a beautiful thank you card I recently received from one of my downline, Ann Guck. I loved the simplicity of her card, so I recreated it using one of the Sale-A-Bration Sets you can earn for FREE starting January 22. Enjoy!

Walk in Wednesday is a day when you can stop
by and pick up orders, place orders, pay for orders, look at
displays, ask questions, get help with products, sign up for upcoming
events, and stamp a couple of quick and easy projects.
I have a few orders waiting to be picked up.
Plus, I've been stamping a bunch of cards using new products and got lots of goodies and swaps at Leadership so there
are lots of great ideas on display.
You can stop by anytime between 2 p.m and 7 p.m. You don't have to tell me in advance that you are coming, just pop by!
I have a couple of quick and easy card projects ready for you
to stamp if you wish. These projects are different
each week. Cost is $1 per project made. You may
make one of each of the two cards available if you wish.

It's easy to create a punch art bib for an adorable baby card or scrapbook page. Just punch part way into a scrap of card stock with a 1" Circle Punch. Then, punch around this with a 1-3/4" Circle Punch. Stamp some tiny images along the bottom. Then, punch part way into another color scrap of card stock and punch around it with the 1-3/8" Circle Punch. Adhere this circle on top of the first and stamp the tiny image again in the center. Add some strings to the sides with Baker's Twine and adhere it to your project.
Just look at all the loot that I got at Leadership! Some of it was gifts from my fabulous upline, Janet Wakeland, and some of it was the goodies we got from Stampin' Up! just for attending, for earning Manager's Reception, or through a Prize Patrol. Plus, a few of the swaps I got.
Even better than all the tangible goodies was the chance to see some of my Demonstrator friends again, meet new friends, and get some invaluable training from all the classes and general sessions.
Shannon West gave lots of great new ideas for finding new customers in her class Meet New People, Find New Faces. I'm going to be ramping up my social media presence and starting some new customer referral programs so be watching!
I really enjoyed the Success Strategies to Empower Your Downline class with Holly Linford and Lynsay Mahon. I hope my downline ladies are ready to join me in the climb up the mountain. We're going to have fun as we grow our businesses.
As I mentioned above, I'm going to be increasing my social media presence, so I also attended a class called Ramping Up Your Social Media Presence taught by Andrea Withers, Diane Dimich, Catherine Pooler, and Becky Roberts. I've got lots of great ideas for improving my blog, getting Facebook to work for me, and maybe even trying a video or two to post on YouTube. What videos would you like to see from me?
We even got a little exercise during one of the General Sessions when Bonnie Thurber had us sing "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean" while standing up or sitting down everytime we sang a word starting with "b." If you want a good laugh, check out the video:
Here's a bright and cheery card for the middle of winter. It uses the new Creped Filter Paper which is really easy to stamp, punch, dye, stitch, or cut with the Big Shot. I punched out several different sizes of scallop circles, sponged on Daffodil Delight Ink, stacked them up, inserted a brad, and crumpled them to make a beautiful flower. Enjoy!
