Today is my Stampin’ Up! Anniversary! I was officially a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator on Feb. 3rd, 2006. I have completed 5 years and I have loved every minute. I also just passed my blog-a-versary (is there such a word?) – I started my blog Jan. 20th, 2009 – two years of blogging! I had a couple of things planned for my Stampin’ Up! Anniversary but I think I need something for my blog-a-versary too – don’t you? What should it be? Let me think on that while I tell you about what else I have planned this month.
Oh but first here is the card that I used as my Make&Take project for my first ever workshop!

I can’t believe I found the pictures but I actually had a folder called February 2006 and there it was. Along with two or three other projects. Now lets move on to February 2011 – here is what I have going on…..
First I am planning a SAMPLE SALE all month long. I’ll be cleaning out all my samples that I have made and collected for the last five years. So when you come to my house this month you can shop the sample sale – there will be cards, card fronts, 3-Ds and gifts. I may even have some class kits – with all the consumables cut and you can finish how you want.
Second – how about some Bingo? For the month of February you will earn a Bingo card for every $50 your order from me and in March we will play Bingo to win prizes. You’ll want to check my blog (or sign up for daily updates) so that you can see the Bingo pieces that get called. I’ll send out more details and instructions at the end of February along with your earned Bingo cards.
Check out my February Ribbon Share – that includes Free ribbon and buttons from the Sale-A-Bration Ice Cream Parlor pack.
February 2011 Ribbon Share
Here are the details for this month’s ribbon share.
1/2” Seam Binding Ribbon from the Occasions Mini Catalog
You will receive approximately 2 yards each of Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke,
Baja Breeze, Crumb Cake, Pear Pizzazz, and Rose Red 1/2″ Seam Binding Ribbon.
Plus three Vanilla Rosettes – one in each size.
And since it is Sale-A-Bration you will also get for FREE –
3 yards of Ice Cream Parlor Ribbon and 3 Ice Cream Parlor buttons – one in each color.
How Much? $13
Prepay by February 15th.
Orders will be placed after this date and it will all be ready for you by the end of the month.
If you need the ribbon share mailed to you there will be an additional cost for that.
Email me today if you would like to participate – monikastamp@comcast.net.
Well let’s get back to my Blog-a-versary – I think it would be appropriate to give away some Blog Candy. I’ll be giving away the stamp set Thank You Kindly to one lucky blog visitor – my way to say Thank You for supporting my blog. To enter into the drawing for my Blog-a-versary Blog Candy please leave a comment on this post between now and Wednesday, February 9th – midnight EST. I will draw a winner and post it on my blog after the 10th.
Thanks so much for visiting!
Thank you so much Monica for offering such an awesome prize for blog candy, but more so for sharing all your beautiful work the past two years. My personal goal is to update my blog on a more regular basis.
