I just posted two new videos on my Chic n Scratch Live! website. If you'd like to see how to make the Valentine Sucker Holder I posted a few days ago, click here to go there now.
The other video is of me drawing the names for the January Free stamps. At the very end I show the free stamp sets for February. Click here if you'd like more info on how to get your name added to my drawing.
Congrats to Trudy Parker, Laurinda Divecchia & Elizabeth Saunders!!!
Or you can get this Wild Thyme Purse I made with Scallop Square Die.
I’ll draw two names this month. The first name will win their choice and the second one will get what’s left.
I’ll draw both names right around Jan. 1st and I plan on streaming it live on UStream. (I’ll post the date & time in advance.)
To enter you win…..all you need to do is place a Stampin’ Up! order with me, either online or in person. Once you’ve ordered, your name is written on a post it note (or ticket) and added to my “new moon” cup.
Good luck!
My post today is going to be a Hodgepodge of things!! I’d like to start off by saying “Thanks” to all the ladies that purchased Stampin’ Up! product from me during my Black Friday Cyber Monday Sale. Thank you!!
I filmed my first live stream on UStream today and I’m not sure if I even did it right. It was live and I think I may have repeated myself too many times …oh well, I’m learning. I’ll continue to educate myself on it and see what kind of fun we can have with it. For example, posting the winners names…maybe next time I’ll just draw the name and save the release of the next months product for my blog post (I’m rattling…so I’ll stop here).
If you’d like to see that video, it’s posted on my channel on You Tube (chicnscratch) or on UStream.
The winners for the November Stamp set & purse are Dawn Guerriero & Sue Speigner. Congrats ladies!! Dawn, you have your choice of the purse or the stamp set….just let me know which item you’d like.
Now for the December Free Stamp Set or Purse ……. (two winners, the first name drawn will get 1st choice & it will be broadcast live on UStream).
I made this Wild Thyme purse with the Scallop Square Die & the Big Shot Die Cut Machine. I’m working on a Tutorial and as soon as I get it figured out I’ll be sure to let you know. This bag is my 4th attempt at a bag for my Kindle ….or is it my fifth? (I’ve since moved on and I’m making larger purses….you’ll see very soon). I’m happy with this size and I think it’s perfect for my Kindle plus a few other items.
The Free Stamp set for December is Fox & Friends & it’s a set that will be available in January in the Occasions Mini Catalog. (If you’re a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator you can pre-order it now.)
December 3rd update….I’m very sorry but the Fox & Friends stamp set can not be given for free this month. I didn’t realize that it’s against the rules for me to give a set away before it’s available to purchase. I’ll figure out what set I can offer you in the next few days.
My next picture is a couple quick & easy cards I made using the Fox & Friends stamp set. We all know I like cards I can whip out really fast and these darling images puts a smile on my face!!
Next is a larger image of the purse…I couldn’t figure out which one to show you so I’m posting both of them.
The final picture of the day cracks me up!! Over the weekend I ask David to lift my table where I cut my fabric. Leaning over was really getting to my back. So, I googled how to raise my 6″ table and it said to use PVC pipe. Well, we did it…and here’s the results……
Isn’t that funny looking? But you know…..it works! No more hurting my back when I’m cutting fabric! I’m thinking I need to cover up those legs…..I see a glimpse of them from the corner of my eye and I swear it reminds me of horses legs being wrapped!
Sorry for the long post….have a great night!!
Congrats Mara Wainess!! You won the Deer Friends stamp set 🙂 Please send me an email & include your address so I can get it in the mail asap. My email is mychicnscratch@aol.com. Deer Friends is one of my most favorite sets ever and I hope you enjoy it!
The drawing this week will be for the For a Friend stamp set. To enter to win…… all you need to do is place a Stampin’ Up! order with me. Orders placed today Nov. 22nd through Thanksgiving, Nov. 26th. You can expect something different on Black Friday. I’ll post the winner’s name sometime over the Thanksgiving weekend.
Good luck & thanks for choosing me to be your Stampin’ Up! demonstrator!

p.s. I found all sorts of goodies as I was going through everything for the move….now I'm thinking of having a Not Moving Sale. The only catch is…… the holidays are here and do I dare tackle it at the same time.
Congrats Ellen Savely!!! You've won the Punches Three stamp set. If you placed a Stampin' Up! order with me over the weekend your name was entered into a drawing to win this set. Please send me an email and let me know what address to send it to.
Since I have a room full of retired sets I've decided to give them away instead of selling them…..and who better to give them to than my customers? I know that my focus is not a 100% on business and I appreciate your business & loyalty during this stage!!!
The next item I'm giving away is the Botanical Blooms stamp set. Your name will be entered to win if you place an online order with me between Nov. 11th & Nov. 14th. I'll post the winners name on the 15th.
I'll be back later today to share a project with you.
Thanks!!

Fine Print: This offer is intended to reward my customers for being patient with me during this transition. It's that simple 🙂
Good afternoon,
The Free Stamp set for November is going to be expanded…..instead of giving away one free stamp set to one lucky winner I'm going to give away 2 items. The first name I draw will get their choice of either a Figgy Pudding Rag Quilt Purse or the Christmas Punch Stamp set. The 2nd name drawn will win the remaining item.
If you'd like more info on how the Free Stamp works, click here.
I've got some news to share….. I've held off saying anything but I've worried some of you and it's time to share. We are moving…..out of state. That's all the details I can share right this minute (I will explain more later). I'm frantic with trying to get the house in shape for us to put on the market. I was in denial for a while and didn't act but the time has come for me to jump in with two feet. I've spent almost every waking moment stamping, blogging…. etc for the past few years and I'm sad to say I've neglected the house. Dave & I both are trying to look at this as an opportunity to get rid of some of the clutter.
Mid November update……Dave was offered an opportunity for us to stay in the Kansas area and we are not moving.
With that being said…..my head is spinning with selling a house….buying a house ….. moving…& last but certainly not least my Stampin' Up! business.
I want to continue posting and providing customer support to all my wonderful customers and those of you that know me…know that I will try my hardest. I'm also in the process of changing my Reward Punch Card….if you're a customer of mine and are working towards filling your card….not to worry your points will transfer over. My goal is to make it easier to track and make it easier for you to redeem. I'll post all the details as soon as possible.
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!!
Good morning!
Here's the October Free Stamp set….
to enter to win all you need to do is place a Stampin' Up! order from me and you're automatically entered to win. For all the details, click here. The winner for October will get the Pattern Pines stamp set (hostess set in the Holiday Mini) and the Petals-a-Plenty Impressions Folder (tomorrow I'll post a card that was made using this folder).
The winner for the September free stamp set was Deb Robinson….congrats Deb!!
Thanks for all the comments posted on my blog over the weekend!! The winner is Pam Malatek…..congrats Pam!! I decided since I drew one of my downlines name I would draw another. So….congrats to Cindi Albrightson as well. Could both of you email me and I'll send you a link to the list of stamps that you can choose from?
I need a favor (again)…..if you ordered from me during my special during Founders Circle (the free make n take item or double points on your reward card) can you please email me again today with your choice? Even if you've already emailed me? I had a folder to keep track but while deleting spam I also deleted some of my folders (it's been one of those weekends….I also lost my beautiful quilted flower that was given to me at Founders…I knew I should have kept it under lock & key instead of carrying it on my purse). If I don't hear from you I'll assume you want double points on your reward card.
The picture I'm sharing with you today is a beautiful card from Brenda and it was given to me at our Founders Circle swap. She used the Pattern Pines stamp set with the Many Merry Message stamp set.
She stamped the trees with Bermuda Bay ink & added Dazzling Diamonds Glitter to the Jumbo Snowflake Punch.
