Using retired products ...

I began my Stampin' Up!™ journey as a "hobby demonstrator" for the discount.  The quality of Stampin' Up!™ products always impressed me.  So, with that said I do have a large inventory of retired stamp set, bundles, DSP, etc.

While many demonstrators will not use products that are retired and I do understand their point I will use them in my personal scrapbooking pages and occasionally post my completed project.  We have to use our stuff, right?!!!!



This 1 page layout uses not only stamp sets but also my Cricut Maker.  Click on the image below for the "this and thats" of this layout.


Happy crafting,

Tina


It's been a bit ...

I have been away from creating and posting due to some issues around the house.  We decided to have our home siding updated for a refreshed look.  This took quite a bit of time on our part with meetings and selecting things.

While here there were the interruptions from the contractors about an issue or a decision that needed to be made.  This also took a good deal of time.

So, I decided to work on updating my inventory and rearranging things in my craft room.  If my concentration was broken it was super easy to return to where I left off.

So, now that this has completed I am back and hoping to get a lot of card making completed as well as completing a couple of my scrapbook albums.

Before:



After:


Similar but different.  No shutters and also able to be rid of the front of house upper venting at the peak as well as the end ventings to attic also.  The fireplace was brick but we elected to do the new siding on that as well.

Spring will bring new irrigation system (much needed) and landscaping!

It is "buggy" AGAIN ...

Once again Blogger is not allowing me to reply to comments.  I am so sorry.  But, there is possibly some hope as my techie hubby is working in it.  

Just wanted to let you know - I am not ignoring you.

Martin ...... you are my only hope (my Obi-Wan Kenobi)

Hugs,

Tina
