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'

Jen How do you know who won the free pass?

As many others have already stated, I love letting the fresh air in through the windows. So, just before spring, I get them all cleaned (just did it last week)! I'm so ready for spring!! Thanks for the chance to win a UStamp pass.

Nothing better than getting a good pedicure ad bringing out the sandals and opening the windows to air out the house!!
Thanks for the chance to win a Ustamp pass.. Its a great thing!

Spring! It still feels like winter and we still have snow on the ground. But hubby and I cleanned our bedroom from top to bottom and put away some of the winter clothes. Went through the closet and sent away all those clothes that don't fit. Opened the window to let the fresh air in and now feel more energized! Thanks for the chance to win!

Thank you for the chance to win a pass!! What I do for spring is have a yard sale to clear out all the things I have accumulated. Since in AZ we don't have snow or freezing temps, I don't have to change wardrobes or plant new flowers. LOL We just put away our jackets.

I love spring. I feel alive again after a long winter. I try to do spring cleaning, but often don't. But I do get out and start going for more walks and set up more than the usual bird feeders that I keep out during winter. Thanks for the chance to win.

Getting ready for spring - I already started! Sunday afternoon I went out in a t-shirt and mowed my jungle of a back yard and then cleaned out all my gardens. It looks like Spring - next up, spring cleaning in the house. Thanks for another chance at a pass for U Stamp!
Posted by: Selena | 02/23/2010 at 09:50 AM
I usually air out the house and get the spring smell in! I love spring!! I am so ready for winter to be OVER!! :)

I like to work on my flowerbeds to usher in spring. That and we have had a tommato garden the past few years. I'm looking forward to working on that with my husband again this year. Thanks for a chance to win a pass to Ustamp!

Hi Jenn, thank you for this opportunity!!!!
When the spring comes I change my plants and clean my garden allways keeping my flowers in first place. I love the colors and they are my special friends.
Posted by: Martha Lucia Gomez | 02/23/2010 at 06:51 AM
I do spring cleaning and also go through the kid's clothes and pull out the winter stuff. It doesn't always get done in early spring though as I am a farmer and we are usually loading out potatoes and planting!
Posted by: Kris Sobolik | 02/23/2010 at 06:36 AM
Since I'm in FL where we really don't have a winter per say, I'll open my windows, do a deep cleaning of the house & craftroom and plant some new flowers with my GKs & GGKs. I haven't had the pleasure of enjoying UStamp yet as my husband lost his job last July but maybe just maybe i can win a free pass here.. TFS your blog, it's great.

Spring is the time I enjoy the outdoors, going on walks with my loved one, taking time to reflect on how lucky I am in life. Also taking pics of the vibrant colours of flowers and variety of wildlife around here (my backyard is a parkland so I'm lucky) and then putting them into scrap layouts. I love papercraft, there is never enough hours in the day.
Love your blog, and thank you for the chance to win a free pass to UStamp ..

WOOHOO!!! I can't wait for spring - out with the old, in with the new! The clothing that doesn't fit the kids anymore goes to goodwill, the retired SU! product gets donated to our local childrens hospital and I just do a general decluttering/cleaning.
Posted by: Christyne | 02/23/2010 at 04:53 AM
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!!
Posted by: Mindy Gray | 02/23/2010 at 04:29 AM
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 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.

To prepare for spring, I spring clean. From base boards, to carpet cleaning, it all gets done.
Thank you for the opportunity to win.

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
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
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!
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
