One of my uplines, Amy Koenders, just reached $1M in personal sales with Stampin' Up! a couple of days ago. What a monumental achievement!! I am so proud to be part of her team. My other upline, Mary Deatherage, achieved the $300K mark in personal sales this month. We won't even talk about my sales because I am a hobby demonstrator and my own best customer...lol! So, my card today was one that was sent to Amy to congratulate her on her success. I CASE'd a card by Stampin with Jilli back in August, waiting for that magic moment to arrive! Here is a link to her "how to" video. I have listed the product I used after the last photo.

I'm entering my card at:
A Place to Start #10 - Purely Handmade
Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper October 2021
The Cutie Pie Challenge #164 - Down on the Farm
Pixie's Snippets Playground #414 (I've used lots of "snippets" on the card and want to be eligible for the prize!)
Di at Pixie's Snippets has a really funny pic of her pup, Dudley, which Mary would get a real kick out of his sweet little face covered with burrs. Di's challenge is in memory of Ruby, another precious pup.
If you don't know who Amy is or who Mary is, here are links to their blogs. Amy Koenders and Mary Deatherage. They both do FB videos and You Tube. If you haven't met Mary's pup, Finn, he has his own story and pics at the end of her post. It brings so much happy into my life reading about his antics and hers!
I hope you have a chance to visit all the links I've provided in my post today. Thank you for stopping by.
WOW - congrats to your uplines on those kind of achievements, which I know must involve a lot of hard work.
ReplyDeleteLovely card you made and well done on using up lots of your snippets in the process.
