Stamp With Jenn

Got Twins?

This adorable card was made by one of my very talented, downline, Nancy Giesbrecht.  It uses the set "By Ones & By Twos in the Occasions Mini catalogue (only available until May 31st).  I love the use of crystal effects on the ducks and boats to make this card shine!

Catalogue Dates

All the yummy sets and papers (love that Summer Picnic!) in the Occasions Mini Catalogue Collection will be available for an extra month from the date on your book...so up to June 30th.  Why???   Because the date for the Spring-Summer Collection 2008 has been extended until August 10.  Which means the Fall Winter Collection 2008 Catalogue will start in August this year.  Also watch for a stamp set retirement list coming out in July this year.

More Cruise wows!

As promised, here's some more of the great stamped projects I got on the cruise. These are all 3 dimensional projects that have been stamped or use our designer series papers.  There were items like a birthday calendar countdown, notebooks, memo pads and mini scrapbooks. My favourite is this date book, stamped with our calendar stamp and it includes a build-a-brad made into a magnetic closure...very clever.    All of these items will be on display at my classes in my Stampin' Pad. 

For a complete list of classes, click on the calendar picture at the top right hand side of my blog.

OWL together Stamp set: NEW!

Alot of people ask me if we get to STAMP on the cruise and YES we got a whole bag of goodies (in a cute orange tote) to do our make and takes on the cruise.  All the demonstrators get together in the dining room one morning and we stamp some projects. 

This is the new stamp set we got on the Bermuda cruise called "Owl Together Now".   It is a very cute collection of Owls and Owl sayings.  I hear Owls are very "in" right now. 

And what you might notice is the diecut rubber.  This is a set that will be in the next Catalogue (Fall/Winter) to be released in August, so it MIGHT be an indication of sorts...we'll have to wait and see. 

This set is just sooo cute..I can't wait to share it with you.  Here's the projects we made we the set.

Keep checking back to http://stampwithjenn.com and I'll be sharing some of the other big NEWS and goodies that I got on the cruise.

Cruise Goodies!

Wow we sure got spoiled on our Stampin' UP! cruise to Bermuda.  Every night Stampin' Up puts a gift on our bed.  We got an embroidered blanket, matching beach bag/travel purse, Bermuda shirt, water bottle and more!

Bermuda Triangle does exist!

We are back from our Stampin' UP Bermuda Cruise and WOW I'm totally convinced the triangle does exist.  It started out great..we had a fabulous day in New York the day before we left.  Here we are on top of the Empire State Building, in Times Square and in the New York Public Library. It was supposed to be this unforgettable family vacation (all earned free with Stampin' Up) but right from the get go we seemed to be in the twilight zone.

  Within hours of sailing away, our oldest son Cass was violently seasick and I was queasy.  That continued for a day and then I was seasick. My poor husband was exhausted taking care of use and entertaining Duncan who was raring to go.  We missed a day in Bermude while we were all recovering.  And even though Duncan then got sick on the way home and Cass and I were spaced out due to all the medication we were on, we did manage to have a good time!  Bermuda was very beautiful! I'm thinking a cruise where you lose weight must be a good thing!

When we finally got off the ship, they were having the coldest day that they've had all winter! Here are my boys bundled up in front of the ship.

Cass figures that he actually swam in the Bermuda triangle (well more like dipped his feet in...it was still cold).  The waters were a beautiful clear shade of blue!  Check back again later  http://stampwithjenn.com and I'll show you some of the stamping things I saw!

Need a personalized gift?

The All in the family make such cute stuff!  Here are two picture frames I made for my two brothers for Christmas gifts.  Each representing their families.   This stamp set will be featured in my Card of the Week newsletter tomorrow. Ask me if you are not on the mailing list to get the card of the week.
