Fun Creative Journey with Sandy

Hi Friends, Wow what a beginning for the New Year for me! So here we go...shortly before Christmas I started to get sick. Make long story short, got on anti-bioctics and steroids immediatedly to prevent what just happened. I have COPD Stage 4 which means I need to stay as healthy as possible. Unfortunate for me, lungs were to weak and ended up in ER on New Years Day and just got out yesterday. Yes a very long beginning to the New Year. Home now on Oxygen and loads of Meds but I'm here and ready to start the New Year! HAPPY DANCE!!! Today is short but here are a couple of cards for you...enjoy! Here's to a better New Year... Hugs,  Sandy

Hi Friends, Another year has just slid by...the older I get the faster it goes by sooooo here is my thought... DO MORE OF WHAT YOU LOVE!!! My motto for this year which I intend to live by . Last year at this time I was diagnosed with Alpha 1 COPD which is basically inherited COPD stage 4 or very severe. My job is to not get sick and here I am a year later sicker than sick. I live on Oxygen 24/7 and try to be positive to my circumstances. My plan for this year is to share more of the things that I make. For you see, I absolutely love paper crafts and after I was diagnosed I kind of stopped doing the things that made me happy...I was lost and depressed! So with the New Year comes a new me living my new motto "DO MORE OF WHAT YOU LOVE"!  I would like to take this time to wish everyone of you a Very Happy New Year! Be Smart, Be Safe, Have Fun, and lets bring in the New Year in STYLE...                         ...

Hi Friends, I'm so excited to tell you about this new opportunity. As busy people today eating healthy can be a bit of a challenge these days. For me I have never been the healthiest of eaters. Unfortunately I've gotten sick over Christmas and spent the holidays in the hospital. I was put on a heart healthy diet which I was failing miserably, Until Now! I have posted a video and some information in the tab above marked Epicure. I don't want to duplicate what I just did so click here to view. If you would like to check out the catalog or do a little shoppng click on the  purple box with the e in the right hand column. I plan on being back to sharing some creative projects in a couple of days. I have so missed my paper crafting and stamping! So there's NO CONFUSION I love my Stampin Up! and I am a consultant and creative coach for SU and now for Epicure also, because if I don't eat healthy I won't be doing anything! I'm not kidding when I say I...

Hello Friends, Today's news is all about our new 3-D embossing folders and plate to use with the Big Shot. Please take a minute to read all the information. This is important to understand how the new folders work.   What is new and what to know about the 3-D Folders  The new plate makes up the difference in measurement between our old-style Dynamic Folders and our new-style 3D Folders in 21 mm gap machines like the Big Shot. The 3D Embossing Folder Plate replaces the Standard Cutting Pads in your 3D embossing folder sandwich for continued high-quality embossed results. To create your embossing sandwich: Use a die-cutting & embossing machine platform as a base; no matter which machine you’re using, use the standard platform which comes with your machine. Use the 3D Embossing Folder with your paper in the middle. Then use the 3D Embossing Folder Plate on top. Given the differences in machines and platforms, you may still have to add a ...
