Scrapbooking Crop Photos

Saturday was the annual Pleasant Hope Crop

I love to go and have a vendor booth because I have become friends with so many of the lovely ladies who come to crop.

Here are photos of our booth before it became busy-

 

 hee hee, I caught Kay snacking! lolol

We became so busy teaching a make and take every hour on the hour throughout the afternoon, we didnt get as many photos as we would have liked

here are the make and takes we provided-

This cute lion is from Fox and Friends stampset and they created an envelope using the new Diagonal Score Pad for the Simply Scored Tool-  sold 5 of them!

This cute fun and springy card was made using the Mixed Bunch Stamp set # 125537 and the coordinating Blossom Punch # 125603

These cute critters were made my hubby Kay and taught by him also! They use a variety of our punches and are really fun to create!

I created the printed background of this 8.5 x 11 page using My Digital Studio and we used our Oval ad round Punches to create the bunny and eggs! They loved it!  Making Hybrid pages is simple and fun!

here are a couple photos of one of the games Lori had the gals play-  the theme of the day was Storybook. several women wore costumes and names were drawn for this fun Porridge Game.  They had to use tweezers to pick the brads out of Mama, Papa and Baby Bears porridge. The gal with the most at the end of 1 min 30 seconds won a great prize donated by one of the vendors!

I love attending these kinds of scrapbooking events, and I admit it, this one is my very favorite each year.  Thanks to all my cropping friends for your love, support and friendships!

I am not feeling much better, our weather is windy and I think a nap is coming soon. Being sick with a sinus infection has really taken a toll on my productivity and energy level.

Have a fabulous and creative day!

Tips for Using the Doily Sizzlit

Many of you have emailed me asking for tips to use our new Doily Sizzlit - ask and you shall receive!

With the Paper Doily Sizzlits Die (item 125592) you can now create the intricate designs you've grown to love with our Sizzlits Dies, in a new, larger size.

Order yours HERE

Paper Doily Sizzlits Die	125592
Price: $21.95
Create an intricate doily design from single layers of Designer Series Paper or card stock using this newly-sized larger Sizzlits die. Makes a delicate background on a card or a focal point on a frame. Doily image is approximately 4-1/4" diameter.

A few tips and tricks: 

• Because of variations in materials, you will most likely need to use a shim (such as piece of card stock) when you send it through the Big Shot. 
• The detailed intricacy comes with a little added work. The negative pieces will not come out automatically when you cut the die. 
  • It may take a little time to remove all the cut pieces from the die-cut paper. Remove the pieces by poking or punching them out. Carefully, push the pieces through the cut design and remove them from the back. Make sure you work from the front side of the doily (the side that was face-down when it was cut) and push the pieces through; if you try to pull them out from the front or if you push them through from the back side, the doily might tear. To make it easier, gently roll the die-cut paper to pop out some of the larger pieces.
  • Push the pieces out using the Paper-Piercing Tool or the small end of the Simply Scored Stylus. 
  • The front side will look completely cut through, however, the back side may not. This is normal with this die, and if you follow the directions of removing the small pieces you will find that the die has cut through the paper. 
• Because of the intricate design of this die, small pieces might stick in the foam on the actual die. Clear all small pieces from the die before using it again. This will ensure you get a clean cut every time. Remove the remaining pieces by using your Paper-Piercing Tool, being careful not to tear the foam on the die.

Other resources:

• Each die comes with instructional text with the above information (in a little less detail). 

The most important thing to remember is that with the intricate delicacy and detail comes some added work.  The larger Sizzlits dies require a bit more time to use than other dies and that there is a certain amount of hands-on effort involved in creating with these detailed designs. However, you will find with the gorgeous finished piece, the little bit of extra effort is totally worth it!

If you have anymore questions about the dies you order from me, feel free to email me I am happy to help in any way I can!

Watch for my class newsletter coming out later this week by email. New to my blog and Not a Stampin Up demonstrator??  On the upper left column of this page is a place to sign up for my email newsletter, I send it out about 2 times a month filled with inspiration, information and upcoming classes and Stampin Up Specials and it is FREE!

Have an awesome day!

Manager's Reception!

Last week, Kay and I were able to attend our Leadership Conference in San Antonio, Texas and attend Manager's Reception. (you have to qualify as the title of Manager within the company to attend) I have to admit that since joining the company in 2003, I have coveted attending the Manager's reception. I promise to repent soon!   I love our SU Events. they are SOOOO fun.

Here I am with my 8 yr pal Dawn Griffith- we always have a blast when we get together at SU Functions!  It was a hoot sitting with her during Leadership and at the make and take for Regionals! Kay was amazed that our shirts were "similar" in style and color! lolol

 

 

Decorations galore to set the mood and they brought out Chinese hors d' oeuvres

We had a good time at the meet and greet beforet the show.  The Chinese Acrobats were AMAZING while they wowed and entertained us! Thank you Stampin Up for the FREE show and paying for me to attend leadership because of my promotion!  I love the man,y many, many, perks that Stampin Up gives it's demonstrators!!

 

Let the entertainment begin! 

And on it went!  My favorite was the girl who twirled the TABLE with her FEET! Yes you read right!!! It was all amazing but that part wowed me beyond belief!

After the show we received a NEW STAMP SET from the 2012-2013 catalog and the CUTEST Chop Sticks ever!  I can show you the chop sticks but not the stamp set per compnay policy  ;o) So come on over!

Thank you Stampin Up for your thoughfulness, generosity and rewards!!
