A few of us host a group on Facebook called Maryland Stampers for Demonstrators is the MD, VA, DE, PA, NJ region.  One of the things I enjoy is doing a Find it Friday for the group.  It helps all those that participate to get connected with their catalog.  This week I found my inspiration in an unusual place.  I was thumbing through the first few pages and saw a stamp I had never seen before.  So it is the focus of our Find it Friday.  If you are interested in joining our group send me an email at 1phatchicdesign@gmail.com  

Here is what the game looks like:

Find it Friday time!  The rules are be the first to either tell me the name of the item or show me the picture and you are entered into the drawing for the FIF prize for the month of March.

Catalog: Annual Catalog
What:  Stamp Set
Clues:
1.  I have never seen this stamp set before today and I find it very obscure.
2.  It represents one of my other passions besides stamping
3.  It will only enhance your project
4.  It is photopolymer and is made to stamp in all different sorts of ways.

Good Luck I think this one is hard.

The answer to this week's Find it Friday is stamp set can that can be found on page 2 and page 98 of the catalog.

Hello Stamping Sunday. Another week is here and I just finished a video on how to make this super cute envelope bag for note cards. It fits 3 x 3 note cards perfectly.

Check out my channel here for the video for the project listed below. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPJUVZVBC4gGPR5ZSo9SAEg

I loved the Card Tin in the Annual Catalog. But I didn't see what most people see. I saw an amazing recipe tin for my daughter's sister. She is 11 and when we go see her we are going to teach her a little bit about cooking. I saw this tin and knew that this is how she will be able to have those recipes we love the most. It was a fast project to complete and was so much fun too!

Lately, I have been asked the question more than once what would I do to get the most bang for my buck? The question was in reference to just beginning as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator or in my case restarting my business after selling everything. Well... the answer is simple. Buy Everything! Just kidding in this day and age money is tight and my want is always greater than my need. Buy SMARTER! For example, If I were starting over I would follow these simple steps in the instruction sheet to follow, I will have suggestions and examples and why. Let me know what you think in the comments below.
