A New and Improved beginning!

Hello there!  My name is Kelli, I'm a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, and I'm so excited to share my new blog with you!  Those who know me, know that I've tried keeping up with a blog before, with little success.  I found that I had all sorts of great ideas, just not enough time to post them. Time flies when you have a family and kids who are always busy!  So my posts always got pushed aside, but not anymore.  As much as I dislike New Year's Resolutions, I've decided to make a personal one for myself anyway, and that is to make more time for the things I love to do! And though I love spending time with my family, I enjoy the time I get to spend with fellow stampers, just being creative.  I also love to share that creativity with others.  I find it's a huge stress reliever and as other stampers will tell you, it's better (and cheaper) than therapy! 

So this blog is my new beginning!  I will try to post at least once a week and more often when time allows!   You might get to know my family a little here and there, but mostly I will share fun creative things that I've made, creations from fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrators and other things that I find inspiring!  I hope that you enjoy and find inspiration when you visit!

For a little extra detail:  I stamped the telephone twice (once for the focal point and once on scrap CS) and using makers colored both images. Then I fussy cut the reciever and dial out and attached them to the focal point with dimensionals.  I also fussy cut the caption bubble and raised it up with dimensionals as well.  The baker's twine is attached with dots of Multi Purpose Glue that I applied to the image and let set until it got tacky.  Then I pressed the twine onto it as I curled it over the stamped image.
