It's that time again to give away a FREE pass to UStamp with Dawn and Friends-Yippee! If you don't know by now what UStamp is let me fill you in on this worldwide stamping fun:
What is UStamp, you ask? UStamp is a fun and exciting on line event that will have a team of demonstrators representing each of the countries that Stampin' Up! is open for business in. That means from the United States, Australia,New Zealand,Germany,France,United Kingdom and CANADA!
We will be sharing our passion for Stampin' Up! through creative Stampining, Scrapping and Home Decor projects in this on line class. There will be on line chats, gallery shares and PRIZES. This opportunity is perfect for both the Stampin' Up! customer and the Stampin' Up! demonstrator.
If you join UStamp and are a Stampin' Up! customer you get to enjoy a variety of different projects with all the written and step by step photos so you can work at your own pace. I know this is just perfect for those of you that are telling me you would love to come to classes but the timing doesn't always work. You will still get to learn new techniques and get great ideas for all types of projects.
If you join UStamp and are a Stampin' Up! demonstrator looking for fun and unique projects for classes and workshops, this is a great way to get projects ideas and instructions. All you have to do is just prep the supplies. Besides what could be more fun and exciting than "meeting" people from around the world that share the same passion for paper crafting and Stampin' Up! as you do!?
There will also be some new and exciting on line creative challenges such as colour, inspiration and sketch challenges with of course lots of PRIZES! The opening day is March 19th and I promise you won't want to miss it!
So my question to you is what do you do each year to "Step into Spring?" Do you do annual Spring cleaning or work on your garden or maybe take a nice Spring time vacation?
Please leave me your answer in the comments section of this post and I will randomly draw a winner on Friday February 26th.
Now on to some projects I have been working on. This is what we will be making at my Stamp Club meeting this month. (You can click on the photo to view larger)
The center card was created completely using scraps of card stock-gotta love when you can create a cute card with all those little left over bits and pieces! I'll be back tomorrow with all the details of what I used on these projects and hopefully some better pictures taken in daylight lol!
Have a great night and happy Stampin'
Jenn -
Thanks for the chance to win a UStamp pass! I get ready for spring by changing out all the linens in my house from warm winter tones to soft spring colors. I feel like it just makes my house feel lighter and cooler and ready for the brighter colors of spring and warmer weather!

Hi Jenn,
UStamp Rocks! I get ready for Spring by changing over the kids' wardrobes...putting away the winter clothes & getting out/buying the summer clothes.
Keep up the good work!

I don't step into Spring. I leap into Spring as it is so good to leave winter behind. We have a spring solstace party with friends to celebrate the new season. woohoo!!!!

Spring cleaning all the way. I change my closets over ( winter to spring), and then the very best thing is planting flowers in my flower beds and cleaning up the flower beds. I can hardly wait. I would love a free Ustamp pass. Thanks for offering.
Posted by: Tammy Jackson | 02/20/2010 at 01:15 PM
I love your scrappy card! So bright and fun!
To get into the "spring of things" I like to take a long walk and look at the trees in bud, smell the smells of spring, and listen to the birds :)

Hi Jenn! When spring hits, I love to get outside and play with my kids! After being inside for a long winter, it is so much fun to watch them spread their wings and get some fresh air! Thanks for the chance to win a free pass!
Posted by: Tracy | 02/20/2010 at 07:32 PM
Every spring I trim back my roses and weed my flower beds to get them ready to plant as soon as it is warm enough--right now I can't wait. Winter has seemed extra long this year! Thanks!
Posted by: Dawn Hoffman | 02/20/2010 at 10:56 PM
Love your projects Jenn!!! I love Spring even if my hayfever starts earlier....that means the days are longer and the flowers start sprouting...Good time to clear out the closets! Thanks for the chance! {{hugs}}

Hi Jenn,
I would LOVE to win a pass to U Stamp. To get ready for spring I do a TON of work in my garden. I also move the garbage into the locked garage to keep it away from the bears and raccoons.

I love to step into spring by getting all those lovely bright clothes ready and a few new ones as well. Time to put away the winter wollies.

Now at home spring cleaning, used to be vacation. My daughter fix her clothing, and check what can be donated.
Let me tell you I found your blog at Inking Idaho, and love it. Great Talent.

Well, when Spring comes around, it's time to get in the fields for us, so my "spring cleaning is usually done in July after the crops are planted. But Spring is my favorite time of year! Thanks for the chance at the FREE u-stamp pass!

My favorite part of spring is finally able to open the windows to let in the fresh air. Once it hits the 60's, I'm opening the windows!
Thanks for the chance to win a free u-stamp pass. Gotta love it!

My Step into Spring this year will definitely be spring cleaning! So that's why I need to win so that I have something to relax and play with when I'm finished!! Thanks for the chance.

Thanks for the opportunity to win a free pass to UStamp. I love your projects! Our spring rituals include a fun trip to the store to buy the kids new rain slickers (usually means the cute boots/galoshes (sp?) and matching umbrella too.) Spring cleaning is huge in our house - it's very old and dry and dusty in the winter - so we too welcome spring in our house.
Posted by: Tina Lockhart | 02/21/2010 at 06:17 PM
Hi Jenn! I live in Vancouver so "spring" seems to have started for us already! Usually though, I have to admit that spring cleaning tends to bring in the season! Thanks for the chance to win!

LOVE YOUR CREATIONS

Hi Jenn!
Thanks for a great for the chance to win a free pass.
Spring in my house means going through the kids clothes and the ritual of the "passing-on-of-the-hand-me-downs" (I have 3 boys). It also means cleaning out my unused/discontinued craft supplies which my customers LOVE
Posted by: Cheryl H | 02/22/2010 at 06:35 AM
Thanks for the chance to win a free pass. I love to jump into spring with a nice deep spring clean of the house to get rid of the winter feeling (and hidden dirt dust and grime), this usually means cleaning the carpets as well and then we lighten up the house with springy decor.
Posted by: Kirsten | 02/22/2010 at 10:13 AM
Hi Jenn
This is such a fun question that you have posted and although I am here in NZ I just have to tell you what I do to Step into SPRING. But you probably already know as we talk on Ustamp.
I put on the wet weather gear, gumboots and headout on the farm to find more cows, and calves and as Kristen says give then some TEA lol. In saying that spring for me starts around middle of july which here in NZ is middle of winter.
Posted by: Yvonne Walker | 02/22/2010 at 06:38 PM
I am so blonde!!! I am no good trying to find this and know what to do for thing like this! But now I know what you are asking for this time for the free pass. What di I do to get ready for spring? I start to pull out my clothing spring and summer and put away my winter clothing.
Sorry Jen forget to stop by with the form today. I will stop by wed.
Posted by: Coral Mack | 02/22/2010 at 08:13 PM
To prepare for spring, I spring clean. From base boards, to carpet cleaning, it all gets done.
Thank you for the opportunity to win.

I am like Martha, love to throw open those windows and let the fresh air in! Love your Stamp Club cards, very cute. Thanks for the chance for a UStamp pass.
Posted by: Dawn | 02/22/2010 at 10:56 PM
Jenn, I have several things I do to get ready for Spring! I change out clothes for myself and my kids. I try to clean out the garage of all the junk that gets piled in there over the winter. I try to plan a little for activities for the Summer, and even try to think of activities I can do with my kids and the ones I babysit that use Stampin' Up! products. Once in a while, we actually get to do that project! I love to check out everyone's blogs, and I really love to see new tutorials that I can try at my convenience. I would love to have the opportunity to win the free pass! Thanks for the chance. One of these days, I'll get caught up, and sign on again.

I usually change my closet over from the winter clothes to summer. Get rid of those winter clothes I haven't worn for a couple of years. I also love to clean out my kitchen. This year, my spring cleaning has started early due to the fact that we are moving to VA. for my husband's new job. Bring on spring!!
