Day 8 --New Blog
Wow--Having a blog is like having another child.  Except I have neglected the blog in the past two days and am not going to get in trouble.  Stick with me; it's a new routine, and as Rhea Hughes www.rheastamps.blogspot.com
, a gal I met at Leadership in San Antonio said, I can create posts and schedule them to post on certain days.  I may have to do that if I get busy with life.  The only reason I don't want to do it is because I kind of think of  the BLOG as a "Dear Diary," and I don't want to LOAD up my Diary with multiple days at the same time.  Probably too much reading into it, but standby for the growing pains.

So last night my downline, Kris Holinka, and I hosted a Downline meeting with my upline, my sidelines, and downlines that live in Grand County.  We were re-capping Kris and my trip to San Antonio--Leadership with Stampin' Up! and providing some resources to them as well as a couple make n takes.  This picture is of a project I provided.  It is a CASE from Dawn Olchefski, www.dostampingwithdawn.com .  Dawn was a presentor at Leadership and is a real inspiration to me for ideas and techniques.  I demonstrated the "faux bow" that Dawn has on her website as a video.  I did CASE the card closely, but changed the ribbon, deleted an element she had and added a border to the Happy Birthday, as well as used the Embossing Folder:  123128 Stripes  7.95.  Check out my website for an opportunity to look through our complete Idea Book and Catalog and SHOP NOW for product at www.silvercreekstamper.stampinup.net
