Premier Jewelry Designs Business!

I am SO excited to announce my jewelry business! I signed up to be a Premier Designs authorized Jeweler/Distributor.What does this mean? It means I am now selling high-fashion quality jewelry backed by a debt-free Christian company that has been in business since 1985!
I wasn't even looking for a job but the opportunity presented itself when I attended a friend's jewelry party! The things that really attracted me was the profit, the flexibility (I work whenever I want to), no quotas!, and the benefits - FREE/half price jewelry I could get. I can work this "job" (if you want to call it that - I call it FUN) in between being a mommy to our 10 mo old son. I am hoping to just start out with a couple/few jewelry shows a month and take that extra money (hopefully $750-$1000) and put it straight towards my student loan (culinary school!). Then my goal will be to use that money to save for vacations for our family!
This is a great home-based business and a great opportunity for anyone. I can work part-time (12 hours or less a week) and make great money. :) Thanks to Jessica Becker for sharing this opportunity with me!

Mojo Monday 281

Good morning paper crafters!

Here is a quick card that I made for the challenge over at Mojo Monday. I just love their simple sketches, they make the best cards! I used the limited time Sale-A-Bration stamp set Patterned Occassions. I just love the cute patterns on each stamp, especially this elephant! He's so cute! I can see many more cards with this stamp set in my future ;)

My baby boy Wyatt is getting his bottom two teeth! He's also pulling himself up onto things already! He's growing so fast, it's hard to believe! :*( He loves this music table that his Auntie Caroline gave him for Christmas!

Sweet Stampin,
Charlene :)

Mojo Monday 279

Here's a quick card for the Mojo Monday 279 sketch contest. I needed a wedding card for an amazing couple that I used to go to church with. Since we moved I don't see them anymore. BUT, we are visiting this weekend so we get to see them!! YAY!!  So..on to the card...I used DSP from the print poetry paper stack and the stamp is from Easy Events. Such a versatile stamp set!

Also, our little stinkerbug (we call him that because he sleeps with his butt in the air!), can grab the top of his crib railing! So we lowered the crib! I have a picture I will post soon!

Honeymoon Layout - Amore

Just a short post for today...

Feels good to be scrapbooking again. I can only do it after we put my son to bed! So, here is a 2 pager for my Honeymoon album. I used a Let's Scrap Challenge, 1-23-13.

No stamping today...what?? LOL ...I promise I'll make a card tomorrow - a birthday one! Some cupcakes will be involved.

Sweet Scrapbooking,

Fab Friday Challege #10

I happened upon another challege site when I was browsing blogs! Fab Friday and it's run by Stampin' Up! Demonstrators. So of course I had to play and add their blog to my weekly challenge sites. This week's Fab Friday Challenge #10 is a color challenge, and they are great colors!!

 

I had so much fun with all the colors and decided how I wanted my banner to look. There are so many possibilities! I'm really enjoying this stamp set and matching dies. :-) So here is the card I came up with.

 

And here is a close up of what the heart looks like when you open up the card. Doesn't it totally look like the satin ribbon that goes across a heart box of chocolates? (I think so!) ;-) 

That's all for today! Hope you have a lovely stampin' weekend! I know I will at my card class, even though so far I only have 1 person coming. Gotta start somewhere :) 

Sweet Stampin,

SUO Challenge #62 - New Toys!

Good morning Friends!

I was lucky enough to be able to purchase some new toys to craft with. By lucky enough I mean, my husband let me and "toys", I mean some new products from the Stampin' Up! Spring Catalog!
The challenge over at SU-Only Challenges, #62 was to use some of our new "toys" and create anything. I decided on a simple Valentine's card. 

In love with the new stamp set Hearts A Flutter and the matching die cuts to go with! :) I created a card using some Pinterest inspiration and came up with my own twist on it. I love how it turned out!  I love the Pool Party embossing powder! It looks so pretty on the card stock!! The small blue heart on the stamped image is punched from the Owl Punch in case you were wondering. This will be one of my cards for my card class this Sunday...I can't wait!

PS - I was just thinking about how different my life is with a baby. I get up to feed him, change him, love on him, then take a brief shower to at least rinse the stink off of me (haha). Then I make him breakfast, feed him, change him, get him milk. When he plays I grab a hot tea, I just discovered Green Tea with Blueberry and Acai, YUM. Then I can sit for mere minutes to rest until he needs me. It's amazing that we now live for our children instead of just ourselves They need our care, nurturing and love. It's such a gift. Hardest work I've ever done...and I've done hard work (I was a Fire Fighter!), but the best gift we can be given. I know one day I'll reclaim some "me" time for more card making or scrap booking, but right now, it's all about Wyatt. I will still make time to sneak in my blogging! :-)

Enjoy!

Mojo Monday "Oh Baby" Card

Get inspired by the new Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge! (MOJO277) This card was simple to make and the colors really pop! A few special  items I used are Stampin' Up! Sale-A-Bration exclusives. Earn them FREE starting with a $50 product order from Jan. 22 - March 22. Details and the Sale-A-Bration brochure are on the right hand side of my blog.

The Tangerine Tango Ribbon (exclusively available during Sale-A-Bration as part of the Sycamore Street Ribbon & Button Pack)  is thin, easy to work with and gives a satiny finish. The patterned paper I used is also a Sale-A-Bration exclusive!

I must also leave you with a picture of my little love bug, Wyatt. He was patiently waiting for another bite of pears & mango and had the CUTEST "I'm waiting" face EVER. I love it!!!!

Sweet Stampin,
Charlene ;)
