Five Days of Sale-a-Bration Day 1


Well folks that's almost all she wrote for SAB 2014!
It feels like it just started & now its about over...waaaah!
I hope you were able to get all the goodies on your list & if not you have one more chance!
 
Today's project features the Petal Parade set-

 
I actually made this project for the Leadership display board & it was one of my favs! I was inspired by my friend & downline Stephanie when we were stamping together one night. We try to get together when the new catalogs come out just to play and make samples. Its always a good time!
 
 
This card is basically a CASE of  Stampin Up's concept artist, Kasia. (I think) I changed it up a little tiny bit though. Alrighty well don't forget tomorrow is the very last day to get your Sale-a-Bration order in. 
Hope you had a wonderful weekend!
I had my family over & got to do a photo shoot with my cousin & her baby so I was a happy camper!

http://su-media.s3.amazonaws.com/media/catalogs/NA/20131119_SAB_EN/20131119_SAB_en_US.pdf

I can't  believe that there is only 5 days left to get all the fabulous Sale-a-Bration products! So to send SAB 2014 out with a bang how about a little project countdown...We will countdown from 5...

I used the adorable canvas banner kit from the SAB brochure. I kept it super simple since this may be used for a newborn photo session I will be doing soon. And we can't have anything that takes away from baby's adorableness!

See ya back tomorrow for project #4... but before you go if you have ever thought about joining the Stampin Up family RIGHT NOW is the time to do it!!! I would love to have you join me in Paper Paradise!

Welcome Back!
Its our week to share the projects that were created for Stampin Up's Facebook page. I am just as excited as you are to get to see these little beauties up close & personal!
Alrighty so on with the show... I dressed up one of the adorable bags from the Celebrate banner kit. Didn't even realize these came in that kit?! On to the must have list, for sure! 
 
 
Actually played with a couple designs when I was creating this bag so I happily ended up with another fun "Enjoy" that needed a home...

 
Hope you are enjoying the hop!
