More questions?

Hi all!

I've loved receiving all your video questions! And I'm going to be posting my question and answer video soon, but there's still time to get your question in! In fact, I'd love to include some text questions as well. So, if you're a bit camera shy, you can still participate.

Bonus Video: Paper Star

We had an impromptu origami lesson this afternoon. Thanks to Christy for her awesome demonstration skills, and to Paula for teaching Christy how to make these super cute origami stars in the middle of a stamp meeting yesterday!

(Such is a day at the Stampin' Up! corporate office. Yes, I love where I work. :)

I've seen these stars in glass bowls and jars. Just tons and tons of these little stars. A glass vase filled with the stars in different patterned papers would make a great center piece on a table! Too cute!

Welcome to Vegas, Baby

Just kidding about the "I won't be around all weekend." I just can't unplug!

BTW, we totally sound like we're on crack in this video. Apologies. Really. Oh, and yes, I really did type DYI instead of DIY. :)

This video initially was for my sister's kids. She took a cue from the AT&T commercials they've been playing, and brought along a stuffed animal to send pics and vids back to the children so they feel like they're a part of the trip. But then, we got excited exploring the suite and totally forgot that this video was for kids. ;) Not that there's anything bad in it, but... Anyway, here it is.

Bonus Video - Baby Cards, Part 1

Is is just me, or does the video "flicker" all throughout it? Weird. YouTube's on crack today. Sorry guys. I'll try to upload it again tonight to get it to look better. In the meantime, try not to have any adverse reactions to the flickering.



Baby Girl Card - Ivory card stock and patterned paper: Scenic Route; Nursery Necessities stamp set, Pretty in Pink ink, circle punches, and Pretty in Pink taffeta ribbon: Stampin' Up!
