Welcome to the SUDSOL Blog Tour!
I am very excited to be participating in today’s SUDSOL Blog Tour.
SUDSOL (Simply Unique Demonstrators Sharing On Line) is an online community of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators dedicated to providing creative and professional information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to all demonstrators regardless of location and regardless of the support they are getting elsewhere. Members have access to an extensive samples gallery, video tutorials, patterns, templates business articles and forms. They also enjoy the camaraderie from the most talented and supportive group of paper-crafters anywhere!
I have been a member of SUDSOL for 4 years, and I am currently serving as the SUDSOL Outline Coordinator. This means that members send me photos and instructions for classes or workshops they have created. I then upload it to the SUDSOL site to share with all members. This is an invaluable resource for Stampin’ Up! demonstrators to use when looking for ideas and inspiration as they plan for their upcoming classes or workshops.
Now on with the Tour!
Reflections of Fall Faux Postage
This faux postage card was inspired by the fall colors in my new home located in the Wet Mountains of Southern Colorado. Fall is my favorite time of year, and I’ve enjoyed watching the changing colors of the aspens, oaks, and other foliage in my backyard!
