Butterfly Bliss

This Butterfly stamp is beautiful but now you add the framelits to it and wow, I love them both. 

For this card I used Swallow tail stamped in Wisteria Wonder ink on White and then I cut the Butterfly thinlet out of Blackberry bliss and glue dotted it to the center of swallowtail. I stamped the thank you from Lotus Blossom in Blackberry Bliss ink and adhered the card to Blackberry bliss card base.

Thanks for stopping by today.

This card was inspired by created by one of the Founders Circle achievers and I can't find the original. But I changed it a little by embossing the lost lagoon piece with the Stars Embossing Folder. I got a lot of wow cards from those ladies. 

Thanks for Stopping by today.

Pay It Forward Campaign

The holidays are fast approaching and I wanted to get this out there before I miss the chance to pay it forward. Remember last year when the Hinesburg Police Department bought my grandkids all of those christmas gifts..........

Well I want to PAY IT FORWARD and I need some help. 

All you have to do is this....
Order $100 between now and December 10th   OR
Take the catalog and Get at least $100 in orders from friends and family, or book a (New) party and I donate my commission
By new I mean it can't be an existing party. This has to be new. 

On December 10th I will add up all the $100 orders and all the $150 parties and I will donate all of that commission to 1 persons family. 

Here is how I will decide what family to give to......
Everyone that participates will give me 1 name and phone number and I will put all of the names in a hat and draw one lucky person. 

Or, if I get alot of participation, I will draw more than one name. 

Here is what you need to do. 
Go to my website www.bettybutton.stampinup.net

Founders Circle fun. HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS!!!!

 Founders Circle was so much fun and we did so many things but I have not down loaded all of my photos to my new computer yet. So, here is what I have so far.

We Decorated and put together Gingerbread houses and this was our before photo, we all had holiday Group names and our team name was Silver Bells. This is us....

 

This is Shelli and Bonnie On the bus to Kanab with us. Giving us prizes is always fun, even for them.

This was our swap night, we all lined up along the hallway, in our pajamas and swapped 113 swaps. WOOHOO.

 

This was my bag that my up line(Christina Crawford) gave me.

I LOVE IT

 

This is what 113 swaps look like

 

This is all of us before swapping, in our pajamas, for a group photo

 

Our final night, we made Christmas ornaments and decorations to decorate a tree. We decorated

either 3 or 4 trees and this is ours and our group of helpers.

 

Founders Circle was so much fun. If I never make it again, I will always cherish the time that I had here this year. It was amazing to come HOME FOR CHRISTMAS with Stampin' UP!

Thank you to all of my family, Friends, Customers and Down Line for helping me get on this trip and for dealing with me while I worked so hard to earn such an amazing trip.

I know that I had a lot to do with earning this too because If I didn't work so hard, Even with a full time job and raising my 2 grandchildren I still pulled it off and I didn't think I would.
I love you all for your support and your efforts.
Bless You.

 

Oh and I can't forget to mention my Mentor, My Stampin Coach, Sara Rhodes. She pushed me through the year in challenges to make this work. Thanks Sara.

 

Special Thanks go to my helpers as well. They know who they are. Without all of you helping me create, cut and bag, I wouldn't have made it through. :)
BIG RUBBER HUGS to EVERYONE.......

Been away for awhile

WOW, I just realized I have not been here since July 30th.
How much have you missed me.

Well, I've just been pretty busy.
I will be getting back into posting daily.
Part of the problem is, I used to post at work in the morning when I got in early or at lunch and now the computer at work doesnt let me in.

I think I will have to carry my laptop to work and that way I can post.

Until next time, Here is a photo of a box we made recently. I am in the process of creating many more of these so that we can do a class of them.




Let me know if you are interested in coming to make a few of these. Different animals and holiday occasions.

Have a wonderful day.

more convention photos

Here is a photo of the Shelli Booth background. This is where everyone went to have a meet and greet with Shelli. You could also go there after to have some taken alone. The whole background is made of Big Paper Flowers. Its just so amazing what you can do with Paper. 

We also took a tour of the home office while we were in Utah and here are some of the great photos from there. Its just so much fun.

Inside the home office
its beautiful

 These were some silly girls that I was hanging out with. It was so much fun though.
Thanks again to Mindy, Valerie and Betsy for coming along.

Convention was amazing

    I have just returned from Convention and for the first time ever, I have earned Founders Circle!!!   I want to thank you all for your support in this, its been an amazing year.  Earning Founders Circle is not something I have accomplished alone though, I could not have done it without all of my customers and my awesome team. I do have a pretty good team starting and its growing so I'm hoping to only improve from here.

    I have hired help now and that seems to help a lot. Thank you to my helpers for everything you do. Its been an awesome year and without their help, I definitely could not have kept up. I learned while on the FIJI trip while speaking to other demonstrators that hired help is a plus in their businesses so I thought I'd give it a try. 

   Here are 2 of my awesome swaps that my helpers helped me create as well as other things they have helped with. 

Thanks for stopping by and remember to leave me a comment

I'm back

Hello everyone.
     I am going to do this again. Maybe not everyday yet but subscribe to my blog so that you receive an email and when I post you will know it.
    I stopped blogging daily because only 6 or 7 were viewing my posts daily. I went daily for awhile and at first I was getting lots of visits and then it died down. SO, I must have been doing something wrong in my posts.

What I want to hear from everyone is what do you want to see?
What will make you come back for more?
I know, Giveaways keep you coming back but other than that when I dont post a giveaway traffic is a lull.
I can't do a giveaway every day, Though I wish I could but Just cant.
I am not video savvy so I can't post video's. I wish I could. Maybe someday I will give it a try. I have been tempted but haven't yet.

So, leave me a comment and tell me what I can do to keep you coming back.
That's what I need to hear to help me be able to improve

This is all about what you want so leave me a comment.
