Happy Memorial Day!
May 2021 has been quite a month for me and my family as many of you know. And I’ve been blessed to receive many words of congrats in person, through Zoom and live video, in phone calls, AND in writing via emails, post and video comments, texts, and Facebook & Instagram messages. I’ve also been blessed with flowers, gifts & cards of celebration (including the one from Sara and Shelli) for reaching my $1,000,000 in sales achievement. So today I’d like to show you photos of some of these special mementos. I hope you enjoy all the creative ideas!
Here are cards that have been arriving in the mail.
I reached this milestone the morning of May 4th when the new Annual Catalog went live. Flowers arrived that day and the next. And on the evening of May 5th during a team Zoom event, I was surprised with balloons and a basket of jewelry from my Stampers With ART team.
Then a few days later this gift of flowers and this card arrived from Stampin’ Up!’s co-founder and board member, Shelli Gardner and her daughter Sara Douglass who is the CEO of the company.
Look at this amazing card! I’ll be demonstrating a simplified version of this on Wednesday during my YouTube Live so you can recreate this fun fold.
Can you believe all the detail? Even the back parts of the card had some accenting.
A big huge thank you to all of you! I hope I didn’t miss photographing someone’s card or gift. I’m guessing have though, since it’s been busy around here. But please know that I have appreciated all the love I’ve been receiving. I hope you gained some creative inspiration from what I’ve shared.
Oh… many of you have been asking if I have an idea for the stamp set that I get to help create. But the answer is no, not yet. In my mind this all happened so quickly. But it will be a good feeling when I DO decide.

Congrats from South Dakota on your million dollar achievement!! I love your blog and videos! In your million dollar card pics, there is one at the top of the 3rd picture that looks like an open book, I would love to know how to make that if you are ever looking for video and/or card ideas!
