I {Heart} Hearts...

Happy Hump Day All!

I hope everyone is having a great week so far...I can't believe that the week is almost over! Today I have a card I made with my newest Stampin' Up goodies! I used this card for my workshop I had this past Saturday...and let me tell you, the ladies loved it! I used the I {Heart} Hearts and Well Scripted cling mount stamp sets, new satin ribbon, Pinking Hearts border punch, and the gorgeous Sending Love DSP--which, may I add, that the 'paper hoarder' in me DIDN'T want to use! lol

Saturday Sketch Challenge SSC134 at Stamping 411

Today I bring you my 3rd post of the day and a new sketch challenge from Stamping 411, and this my friends, is also 2 weeks old...but that's ok! I think this might have been the first sketch challenge that I have ever participated in and I did tweek it a little bit but boy did I have fun! :) Here is the Saturday Sketch Challenge #SSC134:

I just got in the new Cling Mount Stamps from Stampin' Up!..and let me tell you that I LOVE them! Sooo easy to use and did I mention, they take up less storage space, too?! And of course, I needed to use my newest addition of paper to my collection Just Chillen' by Making Memories. It is such perfect paper to use for a masculine card...and boy do I have a few masculine birthdays this month! :) I did though, give this card to my dad on Sunday, Jan. 31st for his 57th birthday...and he loved it! :)

My creation:

SPCC # 31

So I'm back and I'm super excited to share with you all the crafty things I have made these last few weeks! I had a card made for the SPCC color combo, which is now 2 weeks old hahahah...and since I got my FujiFilm S5100 camera working again, I decided that I would show you my creation! :) Oh and if you're still wondering, I have NOT found my memory card for my smaller Canon FunPix camera...but that's ok...I have fixed my bigger camera and I am more than excited to use it again. And with this camera, you will definitely notice more details in my cards and whatnot, too (once I get back in to teaching myself how to use it again!) Yay! :) Anyway, here is the 2-week-old SPCC #31 color combo:

New Email!

Hi Friends!

Long time no talk...and I do apologize for that! But I have VERY good reasoning and I promise I'll be back to share some crafty goodies and some yummy blog candy very soon! Anyway, I finally caved in and created a new 'Stamp' related email address that I can be contacted by. I will continue to receive emails from my old email: malugauskas@hotmail.com, but I really don't want that address to be used for my stampin' and crafty things, you know? My new email address is: stampinmegs@hotmail.com! So creative, huh?! :) I also created a button on the left that can direct you towards my new email.

Toodles and Happy February!!!

Just an update...

I'd love to say I have a cute card or project to show you but ....I can't. I've been hard at work trying to implement some ideas I have floating around in this lovely brain of mine. :) I'm also in search of my memory card for my camera! I was outside playin with the dogs the other day and I had my camera with me...and since then I haven't been able to find it...grrr! Once the rain stops, I may try scrounging around the lawn for it! Soooo aggravating...I had some great cards to share with you. :(

But anyway, tonight I'll be working on my SWAP Cards for my demonstrator meeting for Wednesday. And some ideas for my upcoming Hostess Workshop. And I promise to share those with you (if I find my memory card).

Have a great night!

Stampin' Up! and Haitian Disaster Relief

Hi Stampers!
On January 12, 2010 a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti, leaving in its wake devastation so overwhelming that the Haitian people and their leaders can only look for help from the outside to cope. As a Stampin' Up! customer, you can help make a difference in the lives of those who continue to suffer from the effects of this earthquake by purchasing the I {Heart} Hearts stamp set (pictured below).

From now until February 28, 2010, $2 from every I {Heart} Hearts stamp set purchased will be donated to the American Red Cross' Haiti Relief and Development Fund. The Red Cross is already well-established in Haiti, and this money will be used to provide immediate relief and long-term support through supplies, technical assistance and other support to help those in need.

What a great way to help a good cause! If you are interested in contributing to the relief fund by purchasing this set, please email me back, call me at 860.617.1331, or you can place your order online at this link: http://www.meganlugauskas.stampinup.net/.

And for an added bonus:
The ‘I {Heart} Hearts’ (cling mount only) stamp set from the NEW Occasions Mini Catalog is My Stampin' Special this Month! Purchase this set for 20% off! You can red more about this special in this post.

Thanks for your kindness!
Happy Stamping!
