Sale-A-Bration Polka Dot Treat Bags

Hello!  I'm loving these new little polka dot bags you can earn during Sale-A-Bration!  As demonstrators, we can earn items early so we can show them off to you to build a little excitement.  Sale-A-Bration starts January, 28.  I love Sale-A-Bration!  For every $50 you spend on products from the current Stampin' Up! catalogs, you can earn an item for free from the Sale-A-Bration catalog.  It's a great deal, and a great time to buy your products!  Here's a sneak peek at the polka dot bags from the Sale-A-Bration catalog.

I stamped a little thank you from the Six Sided Sampler stamp set inside a hexagon from the same set, punched it out with my hexagon punch, punched a small hole in the hexagon, and tied my greeting to the bag with some Island Indigo bakers' twine.  That was easy!  Inside the little bags are a small stamp and a Stampin' Spot, as a thank you to some of my customers!

Thanks for stopping by today, and I'll see you tomorrow!

Pocket Calendar

Hello!  Sorry I've been absent for a few days.  The last few days have just wiped me out!  I have been able to get in a little crafting, but it's been quick, late, and I didn't have time to post about it.  I made a pocket calendar for a friend of mine as a Christmas gift.  When I first made the calendar, I was happy with the end result, but now that I look at it, I've come up with a thing or two more that I can add to it.  Once I do those extra things, I'll be sure to take a picture of it again and share it with you.  In the meantime, here's what it looks like right now:

This is using the new paper Sweet Sorbet from the Sale-A-Bration catalog that is available January 28.  The stamp is from the set Six Sided Sampler, stamped in Costal Cabana.  I added my friend's name in Crumb Cake, and stamped a heart in Crushed Curry from the set Another Thank You Photopolymer stamp set, I cut that out by hand and mounted it on a Crushed Curry hexagon punched out with the Hexagon punch.  The ribbon is old Pool Party ribbon from Sale-A-Bration last year.  That's my project in a nutshell.   Like I mentioned earlier, I have a few ideas on things to add to step up my project before I give it to my friend, and I'll share that after I add them.  Thanks for stopping by today.  I'll see you tomorrow!
