Celebrating More Birthdays!

Celebrating More Birthdays!  Today that statement has two  meanings!  The American Cancer Society has adopted this tag line as a way to say that there are more cancer survivors than ever before!
More Survivors=More Birthdays!  The other meaning.....today is my 41st birthday! My dad passed away 11 and half years ago from lung cancer and we also shared the same birthday.  Since my dad passed, my birthdays just have not been the same.  So I thought what a better way to honor my dad, fight cancer, and celebrate my birthday than to do what I love!  I am hosting a birthday card stamping event today!  Friends that attend will make 15 birthday cards for $20.  I will be donating the entire $20 to my Relay for Life team!  For those that cannot attend the event in person, I am offering a special:  Make a purchase from the following pages in the 2010-2011 Stampin’ Up! Idea Book and Catalog! 20% of your purchase will be donated to the Pottstown Relay for Life. Choose from the products on pages 52 through 57 and page 153. All birthday sets in honor of “celebrating more birthdays”. Orders should be placed no later than November 28. If you do not have a catalog, please go to http://www.kelliwolfel.stampinup.net/ to view the catalog and place an order.  Thank you to everyone out there who fights the battle against cancer each and every day!  You all make a difference!

Wanna be a DIVA?

Then you need to join our RemARKable Stampers team!!  A DIVA is someone who has reached the goals set by our RemARKable upline Jan Wakeland!  Each month she sets business goals for her entire team.  If you reach them, then you are a DIVA the next month.  Jan opens her stamping studio, affectionately known as "Stamp World" to the DIVAS for more fabulous projects and for "playtime".  I am proud to say that I have earned DIVA Day several times, but unfortunately I have never been able to attend the celebration.  That is until last Saturday.  After our team meeting, we had a fun lunch out with some of our teammates and then went to Jan's.  WOW!  What a fun time we all had!  I will be sharing some of the DIVA projects with you over the next few days.  I hope that you enjoy them!  If you want to learn how to be a DIVA, contact me before the Stampin' Up! demo promotion ends on November 30.  50% off the Starter Kit is a great way to join!  This first project is a great card that celebrates LOVE!  Recognize the paper?  It is Deck the Halls Designer Series Paper!  Doesn't it look great!?

Storage for Your Cards!

This is the last project that we made at our RemARKable Team Meeting last Saturday!  It is a box that fits all of the cards that we made at our meeting!  It would be a great gift box for cards, jewelry, gift cards, candies or anything else that you can think of!  Any ideas for how to use it?  Check out the Candy Cane fabric that we tied around the box to finish it off!!!!

What? A Fork?

I know that many of you are using a fork today to eat all of your wonderful Thanksgiving meals.  Did you ever think that a fork could be used for this........

At our RemARKable Team meeting last Saturday, we learned how to use a fork to tie a bow!  Isn't it amazing!  You can vary the size of the bow depending on how big the fork is!  Try it out!  Lots of fun!
