Join us for the Limited Supplies Challenge
over at Soul Scrappers
I am off to create my project for the challenge as well as 6 class projects and some samples!
It's a busy day here at the studio! Have most of my laundry and cleaning done ! Woo hoo! Now to get to "work"! I love my job!
I purchased this tutorial from Erika Martin this week and I am NEVER disappointed in her tutorials. Its a fantastic 19 page tutorial for only 4.95 and EASY to make! I love these, and I will definately be creating several for upcoming craft shows this year!
There are SO many possibilities for this project! I am dreaming of ways to make these using up scraps I have!! What a great little gift this will be too!

I used the Vintage Vogue Stamp set in the acrylic mount style from the Spring Occasions mini catalog to create this project.

I TOTALLY cased this project from Amy Celona! We made thise for our Wednesday club and for our group/downline meeting on Saturday.
During the meeting we created over 150 cards for the Ronald McDonald House of the Ozarks! Thanks to Leslie, Tammy and Sue for your help! We had a great meeting filled with tales of Leadership, project ideas, couponing, make and takes, business thoughts and our RM house projects.
I have been invited by Erika Martin to be on her scrapbook design team over at Soul Scrappers !!!! WOWOWOW!!
Come on over and join in the fun! I am so excited and honored and in complete shock!
Stampin′ Up! demonstrators have a long history of making a difference in the lives of others--especially when disaster strikes and the need is greatest. So it was not surprising that so many demonstrators have contacted us in the past week asking what the plan is for helping to provide relief for those who continue to suffer from the effects of the earthquake that struck Haiti on January 12.
Here is the plan:
From now until February 28, 2010, $2 from every I {Heart} Hearts stamp set you or buy will be donated American Red Cross’ Haiti Relief and Development Fund. The Red Cross is already well-established in Haiti, and this money will be used to provide immediate relief and long-term support through supplies, technical assistance and other support to help those in need. C'mon friends get your stamping pals involved in this one!
| Product Name | Item # | Price |
| I {Heart} Hearts – clear-mount (block D recommended) | 118571 | $18.95 |
| I {Heart} Hearts – wood-mount | 117010 | $26.95 |
This is a simple and straightforward plan; the more I heart heart stamp sets you buy, the greater the difference you make. (what a cool idea for birthday and holiday gifts!) Often it is the simplest plans that work best!
Go HERE to place your order. For each stamp set ordered from my online store during this time frame, I will send you a thank you gift in the mail!
In addition to donating a portion of sales, Stampin Up bought supplies for 5,000 hygiene kits to be sent. Employees gathered in the Distribution Center at Stampin' Up!, giving their own time to pack the hygiene kits to be sent to Haiti. What was scheduled to take several days was done in one day, thanks to the compassion and commitment from Stampin' Up! Employees.
I am honored to be a part of such a compassionate,caring and helping corporation!

It's raining here this morning- bleck. I know how important it is to our crops and foliage and gardens but it's still blecky outside! lol
I have a dental appointment for a crown today- ugh so I am off to get this party started and see what I can get accomplished before I head to the dental office in the rain.
Have a WONDERFUL and productive day!
I can't tell you how MUCH I LOVE this pack of papers!!!
They are so pretty, so easy to work with and so FUN!!!!
I will put a photo in the large close to cocoa area, and one in the bottom rectangle and one over the script stamping- the upper vanilla rectangle is for journaling.
On the butterflies, you cant tell but I used my Versmark Pen and colored them in and then put clear embossing powder on and heated it- they are stunning and add just a touch of glimmer. I have some photos of Jack I want to put in here (but I have to get them first from this spring! lol)
I used the circle scissors to cut the coordinating circles and the blue strip is the back piece of the brown stripe under it! I added the only orange make the butterflies pop more and the brown shape underneath on the right? I bought a cardboard shape at a local scrap store, and I use it as a template to trace and cut my own papers! Same with the shape under the flower. The cute 3-d butterflies are made using the NEW Embossing folder frm page 24 bottom left of the Spring Occasions Mini- its so FAST FUN AND EASY TO USE!!
my favorite kinds of embossing folders! fast fun and easy easy !!
Today we are resuming our Wednesday gals group and we expanded to 6 over the Holiday vacation- I will show you tomorrow what we make today. I am excited to get back in the groove.
Here is an adorable and FAST card made using paper from the Welcome Neighbor pad in the Sale a Bration Catalog - it was FREE PAPER!! Our Favorite kind of paper!!!
I didn't have to stamp anything! I just cut the 6x6 paper to fit the card, (always artichoke cardstock) tied on the ribbon, and used snail to adhere it! Piece a cake!
I didn't do anything with the inside "yet" I was in a hurry to get it on my showcase board for class today, lol.
Off to our local Women in Busines Meeting this morning, I hope you have a fantastic day!
I stamped this strip with #118571 I {heart} Hearts in pretty in pink , real red and basic black- isn't the pretty in pink stamp just gorgeous? you really should see it in person! love it
I used #118598 Vintage Vogue and stamped it in going grey
punched it with # 117649 Pinking Hearts Border
cardstock is real read, whisper white, basic black
I also used #117291 white satin ribbon
and a couple of non SU embossing folders. I LOVE the way our products work so well with non SU products! My plan is when I get the photo in it that I want, I will die cut a word to go down the left side. Love comes to mind but may choose something else depending on the photo! At the top of the pretty in pink where the photo will be put is an embossed design. I am sorry it didnt show up very well.
Have you noticed anything? I love designing pages but the photos aren't put on for a while! I rarely design a page around a set of photos lol- I know I know, but it just happens beter that way for me. I am going to start working on 2 page layouts here later this week so stay tuned!
Come on over on Friday nights and crop with us from 5-11pm for $5.00 you have table space to work and use of my punches, dies, bigshot and embossing folders!
