Late Night Stampers Fall 2013 Treasure Hunt

I have joined the Late Night Stampers Fall 2013 Treasure Hunt over on my Stampin' Up! blog.  Come on over and join us.  There are a few prizes to be won. http://stampbyrhonda.blogspot.com/

New Blog for Stampin' Up

I am a new demonstrator for Stampin' Up.  Mostly I guess I am a hobby demo.  I am trying to see if I can actually make a go of it as a business.  I am offering Stamping Kits, a Frequent Purchase Reward Program and I am trying to get a virtual Stamp Club going.  My new blog address is http://stampbyrhonda.blogspot.com/.  I plan on keeping this one for my non Stampin' Up crafting.  I have a few projects I need to get posted here.  With everything going on, it is hard to find the time.  Please check out my new site.  I am open to suggestions as to how to make it better.

Win a FREE Stampin' Up! Stamp Set

I am a new Stampin' Up! demonstrator.  I mostly joined so I could get the discount (discounts are good).  After having my hours cut at my real job due to budget cuts s(I work for a very small city.), I have decided to try to make a little money.  This is the first promotion I have done.  If you have any tips for me, please let me know. (Lets keep it nice though).  

How would you like the chance to win a free stamp set?

Anyone purchasing $50.00 (before tax and shipping) worth of Stampin' Up! Products from me before January 20, 2013 will have their name put into a drawing to win a free stamp set.

The stamp set up for grabs is Feeling Sentimental from the upcoming Sale-A-Bration. This stamp set is the wood mounted version.

Only purchases made directly with me (in person or by email) stampbyrhonda@gmail.com or my online store qualify for this drawing. (http://rhondaprice.stampinup.net).

Sale-A-Bration begins on January 22nd and goes through March 22nd, 2013. Sale-A-Bration is an annual party with loads of free products! This year is better than ever before — Stampin' Up! is celebrating their 25-year anniversary!

There are three ways to get free product:

1. Hostess a workshop and collect orders from your friends.
2. Shop for your own needs.
3. Join as a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator.

For each $50 spent on merchandise in the Spring or Annual Catalogs, a customer can choose one of the items in the Sale-A-Bration flyer for FREE. If you spend $100, then you get 2 FREE items, and so on.

All my pictures are missing

When I checked my blog last week, I found out all my pictures had disappeared.  I am working on tracking down which memory card has them.  I am so bad about moving them off the cards and onto my computer.  Hopefully I will have them reposted in a few days.

Finished the Outhouse Mini

I found the cutest mini album to make for my Dad for his birthday.  I wish I had the talent to make these patterns myself.  Since I don't have that kind of talent,  I am sure glad someone else does.  The pattern for this can be found at:

I had fun putting this together.  The "wooden boards" were a bit time consuming but they turned out wonderful.  The directions called for putting an additional color of distress in over the darker ink, but I didn't have the lighter color.  I still like the way it turned out.

 Back and sides of the Outhouse.

 The mini inside.

 I love the way she did the pattern for the inside.  It adds so much.

I only showed the full family pictures and the pages with my boys on them.  Since all the pages are basically the same, I didn't want to display my nephews without permission from my siblings.  All of the boys are either gamers or phone addicts or both so this paper is perfect.  One side has controllers from most of the game systems all the way back to Atari and the other has different cell phones on it.

Perfect for my Dad

Well, I did the huge mini for my Mom, but felt like I was leaving my Dad out.  While surfing the net, I found the perfect mini for my Dad.  I think he will get a kick out of it.  I found an outhouse mini tutorial.  You can check it out here http://myscrapmenagerie.blogspot.com/2012/09/outhouse-mini-tutorial-is-here.html.  I can't wait to start on this one.  Hopefully when I get home this evening.

Video of Album for my Mom

This is one of my first Youtube videos.  Please keep that in mind when you watch it.  Hopefully I will get better with filming.  Thanks!
