Movers & Shapers video is ready
Just a quick note to let you know the Movers & Shapers video is ready and posted on my Chic' n Scratch Live! website. Click here if you'd like to go there now. (Or go to www.chicnscratchlive.com.)
We're home from Dave's surgery and so far so good (he's still numb so it hasn't officially begun).
Have a good night!
Movers & Shapers Matchbox

The little owl is from the Love Bandit stamp set that will be featured in the 2010 Occasions Mini Catalog.
The "thank you" is from the Happy Moments stamp set and it's featured in the 2010 Sale-a-bration Catalog.
And the frame around the owl is from the Vintage Labels stamp set ……. found in the Sale-a-bration brochure.
Here's a picture of the inside.
Both catalogs will go live on Jan. 5th, 2010.
I placed the owl and the thank you on the clear block together and stamped it in the middle of the frame. I punched the image out with the Curly Label Punch and the Melon Mambo piece you see behind it came from the Curly Label Movers & Shapers.
I filmed a video on how to use the Movers & Shapers without using the Curly Label die and will load it on You Tube this evening (my way special of using the Magnetic dies).
Thanks for joining me!
p.s. still at the hospital with Dave….when we get home…I'll load the video on You Tube.
Love Bandit Matchbox

I'm having a hard time deciding….do I talk about the new stamps that will be available Jan. 5th in the 2010 Occasions Mini Catalog or the 12 Days of Holiday Sales?
The Stampin' Up! Matchbox Die & the Pennant Die are both on sale until tomorrow night and you can fit all sorts of Valentine candy right inside.
I filmed a video on how to assemble the box with the lid closing instead of sliding open. And, during the video I show you all the different kinds of candy. Click here if you'd like to head over to my Chic n Scratch Live! blog to watch the video. (It also includes the supply list over there.)
Here's a picture of the inside with two small boxes of Nerds.

I used the brand new Love Bandit Stamp set and stamped it with Soft Suede ink with Melon Mambo cardstock. (not sure if I've used those colors together before but I thought I would give it a try.)
Gotta run …. stamp club starts in a few hours 🙂
Thanks for joining me!!
p.s. don't forget tomorrow is the deadline for the 12 days of holiday sales. if you'd like all the details please visit my Stampin' Up! website. click on Promotions and then click on 12 days of holiday sales.

thanks for the email ladies…I didn’t know it had happened.
Have a great day!
p.s. changing my router yesterday went great…..no problems…I plugged it in, added the software and it was that easy.

p.s. I was gone most of the day….bought some Christmas presents and some electronic supplies. Tomorrow I’m changing our router on our home internet. If I send a message from my cell phone that my internet isn’t working….you’ll know I messed up 🙂 I’m pretty sure it’s no big deal but I always think that and then I find out differently. Dave & Chase are going hunting this weekend so hopefully I can get some stamping & quilting done!
p.s.s Did you happen to catch Shelli Gardner on the Today Show this morning? It was at the very end of the Hoda & Kathie Lee segment.
