Thank you all for your kind words. I really appreciate it!
Random.org picked #127. That should be Rachel Hope! Rachel, email me your address and I will get the dies out right away. They are already packed up, ready to go.
Have a wonderful day! Don’t forget to check out the Holiday Blitz tutorials at SCS! Hugs and smiles
I am sure you have noticed already that I am not using much Stampin’ Up! products anymore. I decided not to sign the new IDA and today is the first day that I am officially not a demonstrator anymore. I didn’t think I would ever quit being a demonstrator, but I didn’t feel right to only share part of my work here on my blog. I was a demonstrator for seven years and enjoyed every minute of it. I met so many great people and made many friends through Stampin’ Up! I was sad at first to leave Stampin’ Up!, but I am having fun now exploring all the other products out there.
I will be selling a LOT of my Stampin’ Up! products. Please check my for Sale section on the left.
I hope you will still visit my blog even though I am sharing projects made with non Stampin’ Up! products now. I will focus creating with products from stamp companies who support Splitcoaststampers, either by advertising or being member companies. That is the main reason that I decided to sell my Stampin’ Up! products.
Nikki Schmaltz contacted me and asked me if I could help draw attention to her donation/blog candy. I told her I would be more then happy to as long as she writes it. I am horrible with writing up big posts. So here is her post:
Hi! My name is Nikki Schmaltz. I am currently holding a Blog Candy for a Cause event on my blog. I am celebrating my first year of blogging with some blog candy, but I am also trying to help someone in need of a little good in her life. Priscilla is a special person I “met” through stamping. She was recently diagnosed with cancer and then lost her job and health insurance. My goal is to raise ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS to go towards her medical bills. I am asking for individuals to donate a minimum of $5 towards Priscilla’s Medical Fund to be entered into a VERY LARGE blog candy giveaway. You can read more about My Blog Candy for a Cause HERE.
I am also offering a challenge in honor of Priscilla by making a card the Make a Child Smile foundation. I have an additional prize for this challenge as well. Are you up for the challenge? You can view all the details HERE.
I want to extend a very special thank you to Beate for helping me to spread the word about something that is very close to my heart. Thank you Beate for being so generous!
I am so sorry I forgot to pick a winner for the WSC100 challenge candy. So one day and an hour late, random.org picked #24.
That is Holly Brown with this beauty. Holly, please send me your mailing address so that I can get the stamp set and sparkles to you.
Thank you to everyone that participated in the challenge! You made our milestone extra special!
Hugs and smiles

I just received another coupon from Ellen Hutson in the mail. I thought I pass it along…..just in case one of you needs something from her store. Hey…and no, I am not the devil (okay….I love SNL, and I am think it was in a SNL sketch where they kept saying “You are the devil”. You don’t have to buy….just want to make it a little cheaper for you if you do.)

I had a wonderful time in Orlando. It was wonderful to hang out with Daven, Jenn and Lori. I had a blast at the SCS booth. We met so many fellow SCS members. I met the Unity gang, Meridith and Tricia from Lizzie Anne, Kim and a lot of her MFT design team and Taylor for the very first time. I saw Cami, Joy, Marianne Walker, Becca Feeken, Faith Hofrichter and so many other wonderful crafter again……Let’s just say it was amazing!
We took this picture on Saturday. On the first day of the Super Show we dressed in Green, the second one in orange. I miss them already!
