Final Day for Sale-A-Bration Orders!

In addition to having my ancient furnace replaced today, I'm busy putting together my final Sale-A-Bration order. Like I've said before, I save my big replenishing orders for this time of year. For today's post, I thought I'd show you the various things I've made using my Sale-A-Bration freebies. In addition to the items found in the Sale-A-Bration Mini, there is a whole page dedicated to "Big Catalog" items that are free with $50 merchandise purchase, as well. I've had a number of those items on my wish list, so I'm grateful for this opportunity.




The electrician needs to cut power for a few minutes, so I'm going to end this now. Hope you have a lovely day and please let me know if I can answer any questions for you! Thanks for stoppin' by!

Happy Dance! 365 Cards Top Trio Winner!

Hooray! What a way to start a week! The card I made for the 365 Cards "Terrific Ten" Challenge won me a place in the Top Trio!

The trick this time was to create a card in which ten different pieces of patterned papers were used. Here's my take, using the Welcome Home Designer Series Paper (available through tomorrow as a Sale-A-Bration freebie).
I stamped images of the trees, houses and roofs from one of the Sale-A-Bration freebie sets on the backside of the Designer Series Paper I wanted to use (and then cut them out).

I also used my Scallop Trim Border Punch (another SAB freebie) on the top piece with the grosgrain ribbon.

Speaking of the grosgrain ribbon, refer to my step-to-step video tutorial about tying a simple grosgrain knot!

Stampin' Up! Supplies:

Stamps: Warm Words, Good Neighbors (Sale-A-Bration freebie stamp set)

Papers: Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry, Whisper White and Kraft card stocks, Welcome Neighbor Designer Series Paper

Inks: Old Olive Classic

Accessories: Scallop Trim Border Punch, Paper Snips, Scallop Edge Border, Word Window, and Modern Label Punch, Melon Mambo Grosgrain Ribbon, Stampin' Dimensionals

Please remember that Sale-A-Bration ends tomorrow! We're on Spring Break around here, but I'll be posting another technique video before long...
