Happy 4th of July!

Happy Independence Day to all! It's been rather quiet here, except for the rain storms that ravaged the area yesterday. Our picnic will be grilled burgers and veggies and homemade raspberyy/blueberry cobbler for dessert. It doesn't get any better than that!

I'm hoping to post my first video tomorrow, so don't laugh. I'm hoping my instructor will find it "educational" enough.

...until tomorrow...
Happy creating!

Ever thought about becoming a demonstrator??

Everything is more fun when you are surrounded by great friends! Stamping is no exception—it's an art, a creative outlet, and a fun way to bring people together. Now, it's easier than ever to participate. New recruits will each get a FREE Christmas Keepsake Box project kit—a $40 value—to work on together with your demonstrator! If you sign up before the end of July, your exciting project kit will arrive with your first order in August. Imagine an afternoon spent chatting with friends while creating something beautiful-isn't that what Stampin' Up! is all about? This project kit isn't offered anywhere else, so be sure to take advantage of this special offer.
Maybe you've never thought about it, but during July, we've got an offer that's too good to pass up: a $99 Starter Kit. With the $99 Starter Kit, it's a great time to consider this offer and the perfect way to support your love of stamping and paper crafting. The limited-time $99 Starter Kit—valued at more than $180—is full of product favorites, including items from the brand-new Idea Book & Catalog.
Check out  the great perks of becoming a demonstrator, like

• A 20 percent product discount!

• Best of all, you become your own boss in a great business opportunity. You decide how much time and effort you want to put into your business.
• Help and guidance at any time.

In addition, you will be eligible for TWO FREE months of Demonstrator Business Web Services (DBWS)—including your own business website and Online Store, access to a blog, calendar, a monthly e-newsletter, project gallery, and e-cards—if you sign up within 21 days of becoming a demonstrator.

2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog

Hello all!

As you can see, my first and last post was in January. I'm hoping this will change really soon. I'm taking a computer class just for teaching, so I'm determined to make this a good if not great site:)

Tomorrow, July 1,  begins the new Stampin' Up! year with the unveiling of the new catalog and idea book. I'm so excited to show you all the new items to create with. If you did not request a catalog, please let me know. In the meantime, you can view some of the new items and ideas on the Stampin'Up! website at http://www.stampinup.com/ If you would like to place an order with me, please head to http://www.mariacarr.stampinup.net/ If you would like me to place the order for you, just give me a call 570-675-9086.

Happy Summer and the start of a long weekend here in the US!

Welcome!

Hello all! Welcome to my blog!! I'm hoping to keep this updated frequently with ideas, instructions and links to other stampers. I've been following blogs for some time now and feel I can do this too! I have so many ideas in my head I'd love to share with anyone interested. I find myself with good intentions to stamp and create, but there's always a distraction. This is why I titled my blog "Suddenly Stampin'", since I never know when I'm really going to sit down and create!
