Vivid vases PLUS an exciting announcement!

Happy Monday morning!  I hope you had a great weekend!  I cropped with some good buds on Saturday and ran a lot of errands + housework on Sunday.  Then, in the evening we celebrated my DH's birthday.  All in all, it was a good weekend!

Today's card is one I made a couple weeks ago.  I was experimenting with vases in the the Vivid Vases stamp.  I've seen some cards by others doing this, and wanted to give it a try.  I hope you'll try a different way to "color" your stamped images.

My Paper Pumpkin

Stampin' Up is running a promotion from now until February 10.  When you sign up for My Paper Pumpkin before February 10, Stampin' Up will send you a set of 2012-2014 In Color Stampin' Write Markers for FREE!  And who doesn't like free?  

If you have been thinking about My Paper Pumpkin, but weren't sure, some customers in Houston had a chance over the weekend to preview some of the new sets coming up.  Here is a comment from one of them, as relayed by her demo:

"She said she could tell by the monthly displays that the kits were getting nicer and the SU staff that was there told her that they really listened to demonstrator feedback and have started putting more content in the kits.  She was impressed.  And, she is a seasoned stamper and a teacher."

So, now is the time to give My Paper Pumpkin a try!  And to sweeten the pot, when you sign up and select me (Melanie Coverston) as your demo, I will send you a $15.00 gift certificate to use on any order you place with me after your third month as a My Paper Pumpkin customer.  Simply go to http://www.mypaperpumpkin.com to get started!

Vivid Vases

Today was a sunny day here, but oh so cold - and so much snow!  I think my sub-conscious was wishing it all away when I sat down to work on a few projects in my craft room this afternoon!  I am ready for warmer temperatures to melt all this gunk away!  

And just an observation....the UPS guy delivered my Stampin' Up order today, but we didn't see any sign of our mail person.  Maybe tomorrow, but at least the UPS guy made it!
