Yes, you have read that correct.  My Holiday Extravaganza will now be all online.  I have been in contact with the golf course where I was going to have my Holiday Extravaganza and have been told that they are not allowed to serve food.  I can't have an all day event and not have food for everyone.  Also, with everything still going on, I have made the decision to do this years event online.  

You are probably wondering how is this going to work.  Robin and I have been talking and trying to figure it out and we think we have come up with a plan.  

The event will still be on Saturday, September 26th starting at 9:00am.  I will be doing 4 Facebook lives throughout the day.  At each of the Facebook lives, I will be making the projects from that session.  Don't worry if you can't watch all of the sessions.  I will be creating a Facebook group for this event, so you will be able to watch them whenever you would like.  

Everyone will be receiving a FREE stamp set in place of the money we were going to spend on food.  You will also get all of the goodies that you got last year.  Including your bag of supplies and gifts, gifts that we had at your seat for you and all the prizes throughout the day.  There will be door prizes and ordering specials the day of the event.  I will be drawing one door prize at each of the sessions.  We are going to try our best to keep it the same as last year as much as possible and still have a lot of fun!

I will be doing a Facebook live at 10:30am on Saturday, July 18th on my Stampin Scrapper Facebook page to explain how we are going to be doing this event.  There will be a lot more details on my Facebook live than in this email.  There is a lot of information and it is easier to say everything than to type it all out.

Happy Stampin and

It is time for my 2^nd annual Holiday Extravaganza!  I am so excited that we are going to be able to have it.  I can’t wait to tell you the best part.  I was able to negotiate a less expensive location, so I am able to reduce the price this year! 

Registration will begin on Monday, June 22^nd at 7:00am.  Space is limited, so don’t wait to register.  The registration on June 22nd is for my customers and Stampin’ Up! demonstrators in my full downline only. 

If you are wondering if you are one of my customers, ask yourself, have I placed an order in person or online in the past year with Joyce?  If the answer is yes, then you are a customer and can register June 22nd.  If the answer is no, hurry and get an order placed with me before June 22^nd so you can register on the first day!  If you’d rather not do that, we’d still love for you to attend if there are still spots available after July 6^th.

To register, you MUST email or text me starting Monday, June 22nd at 7:00am.  You can text me at 937-546-0341 or email me at [email protected]   I will then email you back letting you know that you got one of the coveted spots.  Keep in mind that I am going to be working with my daycare, so I may not be able to respond right away, but you will be notified by the end of the day if you got in.  You will then need to send me a check for $30 in the mail right away (I need to have it by July 1st) If I don’t receive your deposit by the July 1st, your spot will be forfeited and given to someone on the waiting list.

If all spots are not reserved by July 6^th, we will then open registration to all others interested in attending, so feel free to share the news with your friends. 

I will start a waiting list after all the spots have been reserved.  Your spot on the list will be in order of who responded first.  If I have a cancellation the first person on the list will be contacted and will have 3 days to decide if they want to attend.  If I receive no response, then the next person on the list will be notified. 

Spread the word to your family and friends and email on Monday, June ^22nd to get registered.  You snooze – you lose!

Happy Stampin and 

I hope you have enjoyed seeing the pictures from my Holiday Extravaganza event.  I know I have shown you a lot and have spread it out over the last few weeks.  There has been so much that I have wanted to share with you, I knew I couldn't do it all at one time or in one week. 

The above picture is of the room where the attendees at lunch.  While they were there, Robin, Erica (my daughter) and I changed the room over from Fall to Christmas.  

The top picture is the area at the front of the room and the bottom picture is of upcoming classes at my stampin studio.

More pictures of our Christmas decorations around the room.

The new centerpieces for the tables.  The paper on the box is the Toile Tidings Gift Wrap from the 2019 Stampin' Up! holiday catalog. 

When the attendees came back into the room they had the notebook and pen, Santa sleigh filled with a treat in the Santa bag, candy canes and chocolate and the snowman created with the Mini Curvy Keepsake Box.  We got the idea for the little snowman box from the Stampin' Up! 2019 holiday catalog on page 18.  

I was so excited when I heard that my sister (on the left), Jan, and Patty (on the right) my niece, were going to be able to come to my event.  They haven't been down to Ohio in 5 years.  So, this was such a special treat.  We had such a great time, I can't wait to see them again.  

We had such a great time at my Holiday Extravaganza.  I can't wait to do it again next year.  I am in negotiations with a couple of places, so as soon as everything is finalized I will let you know.  

Yay!  We get an extra hour of sleep this weekend!  I don't like that it will be getting dark so early at night now.  

Next Monday I will be starting my Merry Christmas Monday series.  I will be creating Christmas projects to share with all of you.  Then, on Monday night I will be creating the same project that will be on here on my Facebook Live.  I can't wait to share with you projects that I have already created for this series.  

Thank you for stopping by on this Friyay!  Have a great weekend and try to stay warm.  It is suppose to be a cold weekend here in Ohio.

The final kit the attendees at my Holiday Extravaganza made was from the Brightly Gleaming suite in the Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog.  The Brightly Gleaming designer series paper is so beautiful, so we used it on each project.  

Did you know you can color the Very Vanilla/Copper 1/2" Classic Weave Ribbon with any of the Blends markers.   On this card they used the Night of Navy Blend marker.

Have you seen the Copper Metallic Ink?  It is so pretty.  You can really make it shine when you stamp your image and then put clear embossing powder on it and heat set it.  

We saw this card online and knew we wanted to include it in our kit.  This is a really fun card to make.  The ornaments look like they are floating.  

The Tufted embossing folder makes any card or project prettier.  I love how embossing folders take any project and makes them even more special.  

With this kit the attendees also made 3 Christmas tags.  These were fast and easy to make.  

You can't make tags and not have a holder for them.  

On Friday I will have the rest of the pictures from our Holiday Extravaganza.  We are already planning our next retreat for next fall.  When we get all the details figured out, I will let all of you.  

Tonight I will be sharing with you how to make the Christmas cards from the October Paper Pumpkin and an alternative project.  I absolutely love how my alternative project turned out and can't wait to show you.  Join me on my Stampin Scrapper Facebook page at 7:00pm EST 

Next Monday I will be starting my Merry Christmas Monday series.  I will be creating Christmas projects to share with all of you.  Then, on Monday night I will be creating the same project that will be on here on my Facebook Live.  I can't wait to share with you projects that I have already created for this series.  

Thank you for stopping by today!  I really appreciate it.

Happy Stampin and

You all know how I love snowmen, so of course, we were going to do the Let It Snow suite!  Aren't they cute?!  With this kit they made 6 projects, 4 cards, a gift card holder and a note holder.  

I have made these before and they were always a big hit.  We had a local copy shop make the note pads for us.  It was so much cheaper than trying to buy them already done, plus we supported a local small business.  

This little guy makes me smile.  Have you seen the beautiful Let It Snow Specialty designer series paper?  It is beautiful!  Some of the pages have glitter on them, which makes them sparkle!  Snowmen and sparkles!  Yay!

I saw this card online and fell in love with it.  I don't know who created it, but thank you for sharing it.  I have really been drawn to red and white lately for snowmen.  

Do you a cute holder for a coffee gift card?  This is a great one and they are easy to make.  The gift card goes in the band that has the sentiment on it.  You can fill the cup with anything.  We put Hershey kisses in ours. 

This little snowman is from one of the sheets of paper that has the sparkle on it.  There are different snowman on the page and they are all sparkly.  The snowflake was cut out using a die from the  Frosted Frames dies.

When we were creating this card, I didn't want to do the classic fold.  I wanted to do something different.  I have done this layout before, but it has been a long time.  

Join me tonight at 7:00pm EST on my Stampin Scrapper Facebook page for a fun project.  

Thank you for stopping by on this Monday morning.  May your day be filled with blessings and love!

Happy Stampin and

The second kit we did at our Holiday Extravaganza retreat was the Come To Gather suite from the Stampin' Up! 2019 Holiday catalog.  I really like how this kit came out.  I have made extras of these cards to use for my personal use, especially the gift card holder.

In this kit there were 4 cards and 1 gift card holder.   The first card they made was a simple but pretty card.  I think using the Pinewood Plank on the Terracotta Tile cardstock really made this card.  

The designer series paper on this card is from the Come To Gather designer series pack.  With each kit the attendees got a little gift and with this kit they got the Linen Thread as we used it on a lot of our projects.  

One of the colors that coordinate with the Come To Gather suite is Pretty Peacock.  It is such a pretty rich color and is perfect for Fall or with some of our Christmas designer series paper.  We used another piece of paper from the Come To Gather designer series paper pack.  One this that I really like about the dies from this suite is that the small leaves cut and emboss at the same time.  

I like this card as it uses different colors, Pretty Peacock and a grayish/brown tint, than most Fall cards.    The colors that coordinate with this paper are Early Espresso and Pretty Peacock.  

The final project for this kit was a gift card holder.  This holder is very easy to make and can be used for any occasion.  All you would have to do is change the colors and designer series paper.  You could make one for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, Valentines Day or birthday.  So many possibilities.

Please note:  Some of the projects from Holiday Extravaganza were from Pinterest and/or YouTube.  We used them for inspiration or we might have case'd  (create and share everything) them.  Then there were some that we designed exclusively for our Holiday Extravaganza.  Since they were created special for the attendees, I will not be sharing the measurements or instructions. 

For each of our kits, we picked a suite and used that for all of our projects, with the exception of sometimes using an additional stamp set.  

Here are all the products we used for this kit.  If you would like to purchase any of the supplies I used for any of the projects, just click on the picture below.

Tonight I am going to be showing you a fun technique called, Retiform, on a card.  I haven't made one in a long time, so this will be fun to show you this technique tonight.  I will be live on my Facebook page Stampin Scrapper at 7:00pm EST.  I hope you can join me!

Have a great Monday!

Happy Stampin and 

Robin and I had 5 different kits for the attendees to create at our Holiday Extravaganza.  The first one was Halloween themed and we used the Wonderfully Wicked stamp set and Wicked dies.  We also used the Monster Bash designer series paper all from the Stampin' Up! 2019 holiday catalog.  

The first project they made was the adorable pumpkin with the clear boxes.  We got inspiration from a lot of different places for our projects.  Some we created, some we took bits and pieces from projects we saw on line and came up with our own and some we made just like the original creator.   This is one of the projects that we made just like the creator, but changed the sentiment. 

In this treat holder Mentos fit perfectly inside of it.  With all of our treat holders, we gave them the candy to put in them, so they didn't have to go get it themselves.  Also, with each kit, they got a surprise from us.  With this kit the got the beautiful Glittered Organdy Ribbon from the annual catalog.  

I think it was a couple of years ago that Stampin' Up! had the test tubes in one of their catalogs.  Well, for some reason I thought I needed to buy boxes and boxes of them.  This was a perfect time to use them!  I still have a bunch left.  LOL  

Robin designed this card and I love how it turned out.  I am not a person big on Halloween, I am more of a Fall type of girl.  However, after using this set, I really like how the projects came out.  

Every year we can find the Halloween mini popcorn bags, but not this year.  We looked every where, even online, and couldn't find them.  I know as soon as we go out shopping again, we are going to find them everywhere.  Who doesn't like sweet and salty together?!  So, we added a small packet of M & M's to add to the popcorn when they pop it.  Yummy!

For each of our kits, we picked a suite and used that for all of our projects, with the exception of sometimes using an additional stamp set.  

Here are all the products we used for this kit.  If you would like to purchase any of the supplies I used for any of the projects, just click on the picture below.

Thank you for stopping by today!  Come back on Friday for my Fall Friday series.  I will have more projects and pictures from my Holiday Extravaganza next week.  Have an awesome Wednesday!

Happy Stampin and

This picture makes me so happy!  When I look at it, I smile, I laugh and my heart is filled with joy.  On Saturday, I had my first ever retreat.  I called it Holiday Extravaganza since all the projects were created from the Stampin' Up! 2019 holiday catalog.  Robin and I along with 21 friends and family, created 23 different projects.  

This is how the room looked when they came in.  In the morning we had the  Halloween and Fall theme and in the afternoon we did a Christmas theme.  

All of the seats had a bag with all the project kits in them.  They were decorated for fall on the front and winter on the back.  In the picture on the right hand side you can see the back of the bag.  The project on the right (Halloween) was a little thank you gift, of course, it had chocolate in it!   They all know how I love to do thank you gifts all the time for everyone.  The fall pillow box was for everyone who paid in full when they registered for the event.  In the box was the new Snowfall Accents Puff Paint.

I wanted to recognize my team members and thank them all for coming to my event and supporting me.  I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for them or my customers.

I love these ladies so much!  It was great being able to spend time with them.  Of course, I wanted to give them a gift to let them know how special they are to me and it had to have butterflies on it.

I used the beautiful Copper Dotted Treat bags and put the new Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewel in them.  

I couldn't have done this retreat without the help of my best friend Robin.  

We spent a lot of hours together, creating, laughing, drinking Starbucks, ordering pizza at midnight and getting slap happy.  I think I can say for both of us, we had the best time.  I can't wait to do it again next year.  

Come back on Wednesday to see the projects we made in the first kit - Halloween.  I will have more pictures of the room too.  

I am going to be doing something totally different in my Facebook live tonight at 7:00pm EST on my Stampin Scrapper page.  I hope you can join me to see what it is.  

Thank you for stopping by today!  Have a marvelous Monday!

Happy Stampin and
