Happy Birthday Foxy Lady!

Foxy Friends Stampin' Up!

I made this card last month to mail to my sister for her birthday. I had this idea in my head to stamp a fox and use the Labeler Alphabet to spell out foxy lady so it seemed appropriate to use for a fun happy birthday wish. The Labeler Alphabet stamp set lets you customize your own messages.

 Have you seen all the great samples with the A Little Foxy Suite on Pinterest? Oh my gosh! I am in love with this little guy and all the little creatures the stamp set and punch can create.

Christine's Tips: The suite features a coordinating stamp set & punch that you can save 10% on when you purchase them together. It also features a cute 6x6 designer series paper stack, 8.5x11 cardstock pack, and ribbon. The suite is designed for cute baby critters, but you can use the creatures with any greeting for any occasion. Pulling out all the products from the suite makes creating a card a breeze. I have linked the products I used on this card below.

I hope this card inspires you to make something crafty.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Happy Stampin',

Christine

Onstage is two months away!

Onstage 2016 Savings JarIsn't this jar so much cuter than those savings jars you see in the stores? I had the mason jar in my craft closet with some paint brushes inside. I wanted to start collecting change from purchases to set aside for my Onstage 2016 fund. I figure if I put my change in this jar I will be less tempted to spend it at the vending machine at work on snacks. I went food shopping yesterday and bought lots of snacks so this won't happen anymore. 
I am counting down the days so I might have to make myself a calendar to match my savings jar lol! I seriously can't wait to leave for Secaucus, New Jersey. I am going to be a super busy girl until the big weekend away, but I know it will all be worth it in the end.

A few things on my Onstage 2016 to-do list:
1. Promote to Bronze Elite in September so I can be recognized at the event. This is a biggie, but I am within reach so will be working extra hard over the next few weeks.
2. Create 16 display projects for the boards. I have my sneak peek product and gave myself some time to think about the projects I want to create before I dive in. I have two months now so time to start creating.
3. Make gifties for my roomies
4. Make swaps cards to swap with other demonstrators attending the event
5. Save a few extra bucks for the Product Purchase Premiere, hotel, and meals for the weekend. The other big ticket items of airfare & registration are already paid for.

Registration for Secaucus is still open as I write this post so if you have a long wish list and would like to sign up to join my stamping team you can join us at Onstage 2016.

After the event I will have to start a fund for Onstage 2017 in Utah. I am crossing my fingers hoping the dates won't conflict with our New Orleans trip.
