I have been wanting to make this for the longest time and finally found exactly what I needed at my favorite "getting place." Yes, I do mean TJ Maxx. (And yes, I am giggling as I type this!)
So the plate was only $2.99 and the easel was on clearance for $2.00! I added the Decor Elements and created a showpiece for under $10. I absolutely love it!
It's sitting on my kitchen island with an urn filled with ivy... fake, of course, because I kill house plants. :)
My name is Shelly, and I am an embellisher... LOL
So I was playing around with some of our accessories and decided to dress up one of our albums. I am really pleased with the outcome. :)
I added one thing after I took the picture. A large rhinestone gem on the presents (presents are vinyl wall art from our Decor Elements line.) Most of these products are only available through January 3rd in the Holiday Mini Catalog.
Here's a close-up of the tag:
I am going to miss that Tinsel Trim... I need to stock up before it's too late!
Most of you who know me... know that I like to be organized. I'm not always successful, but I feel so much more relaxed and happy when my space is clean and all things are in their proper place. :)
So we all strive to be more organized, so why not make it fun and pretty??
These are from our Play Date Suite of fun stuff!
More Play Date supplies and calendar vinyl wall art and a desk calendar from our Decor Elements line.
Quick and easy Halloween project to share today... I used it at my open house for candy and I think Olivia will use it on Halloween night when she goes trick or treating.
I picked up the bucket for $1 at our new Dollar Tree store in Bonner Springs. This is the perfect Halloween green! Then I used the Jack-o-Lantern faces from the Decor Elements line and adhered them to the bucket. Added a bow with Basic Black 1 1/4" striped grosgrain ribbon, and I was DONE!
I have two more faces from the Decor Elements pack, so I am considering buying two more buckets and giving at least one to my God-daughter when I see her this weekend.
Our Decor Accents line is growing every year, and we have a new product featured in our Holiday Mini Catalog. It's the Design-a-House. It's a chipboard house painted white that ships flat and is easily assembled. Instructions are included but assembly is really easy. The finished house size is 6 1/4" x 6" x 5".
Here are three fun ideas to get your creative juices flowing!
Spooky Halloween House
Gingerbread House

I visited my BFF and downline last weekend, and she had just put up her new vinyl wall art. Our home decor line is so easy to use and looks so professional!
She wants to finish the look with a collage of different sizes and styles of crosses. I can't wait to see the final touches! This is in her entryway and will be stunning.
Speaking of stunning... LOL... just kidding! I thought you might like to see how big the lettering is. So I took my picture next to it, so you could get an idea. :)
Hi there! :)
Like all of our other products, you can shop online for wall art. Look under Definitely Decorative, and you'll find vinyl wall art, vinyl sheets, and stencils. Measurements are online as well. Place an order of $50 or more, and I'll send you a free applicator tool. It really does make your life much easier when you use the right tools.
Just go to www.shellymay.stampinup.net and click on the SHOP NOW button.
Remember the rooms from Friday's post... here they are with Christmas Decor. So pretty in person! Makes me want to get out my tinsel and fake snow and start crafting my Christmas displays. :)
Hope you enjoyed the Christmas inspiration as much as I did! Have a great week and happy crafting!
Crazy cute displays in the Gathering Place brought to us by Shelli's mom and daughters.
Warning: these postings will cause the urge to redecorate your house!
Then on the last day they added Christmas decor to a couple of the rooms and I had to take pictures all over again! I'll show you those another time. Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!
Stampin' Up corporate offices are in Riverton... about a 40 minute drive from where we were in Salt Lake City. Cindy, Lisa and I all boarded the Stampin' Up bus to take a tour of their gorgeous facilities. We went on Friday night, and met about 10 staff who stayed late just for us. They were all so gracious and happy to talk about what their jobs. Most of the staff that I met had been with Stampin' Up for multiple years. I can imagine they don't have very high turnover with such a healthy and positive work environment. :)
This is what you first see when you walk in the front doors. The banners mimic the theme and decor of our convention. I can't believe I didn't take a picture of the building with the mountains in the background. Simply breathtaking!
Cindy, me and Lisa in front of the waterfall in the staff break/lunch room. How amazing is this! There's also an outside courtyard area with plants and arboretum.
The "pick line." This is where the employees "pick" orders and ship them out. I asked one of the staff what was the most popular item right now, and she said it's all about organization. The Clear Block Storage case and Big Shot die boxes and inserts are flying off the shelves. Do you have yours yet?
Lisa and Cindy taking pictures... they had no idea I snapped this one of them. Hehe...
A mail room tucked away down a hall was even adorned with one of Decor Elements. What a special touch... you know it really is the little things that make a great workplace GREAT!
Lisa posing by the Statement of the Heart in the foyer of the Legacy Rooms. The Legacy Rooms tell the Stampin' Up story and feature rooms designed by Shelli Gardner and her daughters. They work on these rooms in secret and no one gets to see them until the big reveal. They finished on Monday the week of the convention, so that week was the first time anyone had seen the rooms. Here's a peak:
Aren't those displays simply stunning... I feel so inspired to create something for my home!
A visit to the home office is not complete without a photo by the large rocks at the entrance. You can see the mountains in the background here. Not sure what Lisa is doing... probably telling me how beautiful it is there. :) Hope you enjoyed the tour!
Another home decor share with our Decor Elements vinyl wall art:
I purchased this finished tile from the clearance section of TJ MAXX (one of my favorite stores to visit!) and it was pretty as it was but I wanted to add a little to it. The images are underneath the glass, so the Decor Elements are "floating" on top of the glass. It is hard to see in the photo, but in real life the pieces looks layered. I have a second tile that I plan to add "love" to it and hang them together.
I also added the Dotted Flourish to my bathroom on 4th of July! It's so easy to add these accents. If you haven't tried them yet, you really should! We even have more pieces to choose from in our new Definitely Decorative catalog. You can check out the link on the left side of my blog. Or schedule a party with family and friends and earn some free! :)
