Fun Fall Tag For Share It Sunday Blog Hop






Hey Y'all!
This weekend I had an opportunity to attend Backstage At Home, a training Stampin' Up! offers to their Silver Elite and above Demonstrators. It was a virtual event, but I was blessed to be able to watch it with 2 other demonstrators in my area, my upline and another Demonstrator not part of our team, but one we collaborate with very often and share ideas. In fact, she is part of the Crafty Collaborators-Robbie Susan Chandler. I love that fact about the Stampin' Up! community-the willingness to share ideas and help others grow. It was almost as good as being able to be there in person....almost...


We met at Robbie Susan's home, and you know when girls get together, there has got to be food, right? Preferably something sweet! I ordered some cookies from a local baker, and brought them to share. I've included her contact information below, but she can only ship within the state of Georgia because of her Cottage License...sorry to my non-Georgia friends!


So if there is a basket of cookies, it's got to be decorated, right? I have fallen in love with the Seasons of Fun stamp set. (It is a Host set, so you have to earn it, see how below!) If you love to color...you have to get this set, such cute images! I also added a Dollar Tree bow & flower.


I used the Stampin' Blends to color this image. Since this set does not include sentiments, I used one from Banner Year, a great all around set that can be used for many occasions. This sentiment is probably my favorite...any guesses why, y'all!
Now let's see what my Crafty Collaborations friends are sharing today:

Since this is a host set, the only way you can get it is with a $150 purchase and claim it as part of your rewards, or host a gathering with some friends...it can be virtual...get some orders together, and you get the rewards. Remember that Saleabration is going on, that means FREE product with $50 (Level 1) or $100 (Level 2) orders. 
Saleabration is also the perfect time to join my team-the Southern Accents Stampin' Squad. The Starter Kit is the best deal in the catalog, even more so during Saleabration because in addition to getting to choose $125 in product for only $99 with free shipping, you get to choose a free bundle! The Seasons of Fun can't be included in your starter kit, but you can get it as a reward for your first order. Email me at ninassouthernaccents.gmail.com with any questions you may have! I would love to help you start your own Stampin' Up! journey!






Here is my friend Stephanie's information if you live in Georgia. If you don't, who says I can't mail my friends some delicious homemade cookies?





If you would like to order any of the products used, click on the Products Images to go to my online store. Be sure to use the Current Host Code to earn free product from me! 





Every order in August qualifies for this Holiday Catalog Virtual Swap tutorial bundle with over 30 project tutorials!
Thanks for stopping by today, go make something beautiful!
Love,

It's A Sketch! Crafty Challenge Blog Hop






Hey Y'all!
I love sharing projects with my friends from the Crafty Collaborations. We are a group of demonstrators from all around the globe sharing ideas and our love of crafting. Today, our challenge is a sketch:

This gave me the opportunity to show off one of my favorite (surprisingly!) Suites in the Holiday Mini! I am a traditional red and green Christmas girl, but this paper, and these trees, they just make me happy! 

And I thought this sketch was perfect to showcase that beautiful DSP. Do you know how hard it was to cut into it!


I don't care how much DSP you already have, if anyone tells you you have too much, you don't need that kind of negativity in your life, js....
I hope my project made your heart light today...it sure did mine while I was making it. And now I am one more card being ready for Christmas....winning!
Measurements:
  • Mint Macaron cardbase 8-1/2 x 5-1/2
  • DSP layer 4 x 5-1/4
  • DSP "panels" 2 x 1-1/4
What about you? Are you a traditional color person, or do you like non-traditonal? Let me know in the comments!
Now hop through and see how everyone else interpreted this sketch...I can't wait to see what they came up with!
