Once a month, the last Thursday, we get together and have some stamping fun! We make 6 cards, 2 each of three designs.




Serene Silhouettes Card

     
    • This particular card uses the Serene Silhouettes stamp set and the Sweet Sorbet Designer paper which you can get FREE during Sale A Bration with a $50 order.  Of course I had to add a little bling on the flowers with our Rhinestones.
     
     

     
     Here are the other two cards we will be making. Both of them use paper from the Sweet Sorbet Designer paper shown in the Sale A  Bration mini catalog which is FREE with a $50 order. Sale A Bration goes through March. Lots of fun free items to get such as coordinating stamp sets and punches. Love it when Stampin Up has punches to match. Don't have to worry about cutting around things, just punch and go!! I also added a few butterflies on the  happy birthday card. Trying to think Spring. Been a little cold here in Minnesota lately or should I say the last four months.

    • My classes are open to all guests. If you are unable to attend, I will gladly mail you the cards.
    Thank you for checking out my blog. I am excited for Saturday's class too when we get to make our FAMILY birthday board which I showed you a few posts ago.  Have a great week and Happy Stampin!

    Scrapbook Pages for February






    Here is the page layout for this month! I just had to use a little pink or Strawberry Slush for the Valentine month! I  also featured one of the new punches available in the Occasion Mini catalog. It is called the Scallop Tag Topper Punch sold on page 35. 
    Item number 133324. 
     It is fun to use, not just for a tag but you can use it for that too.  :)

    Love ya with a splash of Crushed Curry is featured on the bottom of one of the pages. This is from the Just Sayin stamp set sold on page 36 of the Occasion mini. Item 133200 for wood and item 133203 for clear. This set has a matching framelit dies too! Bundle it and save an extra 15%!  

    What a deal especially during Sale A Bration. Order $50 and pick out a free item from the Sale A Bration flyer. 

    I also used the Banner Blast stamp set and matching banner punch which are both free items during Sale A Bration.

    At my class, you also receive matching cardstock to take home to mat your photos.

    Happy Scrapbooking!

    Fun FAMILY Board for Birthdays and Anniversaries!







    Here is a fun project that I think will be very helpful in remembering birthdays and anniversaries. What a nice gift it would make for a parent or grandparent.
    Hubby said he would help me by getting the boards all sanded and beveled 
    so the rest if up to us!
    I did mine in the earth tones but you can specify your color choices if you like different.
    Mine uses the  Natural Composition paper with solid cardstocks of Soft Suede, Choc Chip, Baked Brown Sugar, and Cajun Craze.
    Please specify what color you would like the FAMILY to be.
    Another paper choice is the Polka Dot Parade sold on page 154 with these colors. Daffodil Delight, Marina Mist, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red and Rich Razzelberry. If any of these colors match your decor better, just specify which one and I will have the coordinating colors ready for you.
    It will also be very helpful if you have these two punches. The Full Heart item 119883 and the 1 3/8 circle punch item 119860. If you do not have them, you can order them when you register and I will have them for you here at the class. I will offer these with no shipping charges. If you happen to have the small 1/16 hand held punch, you will need that too. Stampin Up does not sell that anymore so I can not offer you that one. I do have 2 of these so we will have to share.
    It will be helpful to have your list of names, birthdays, anniversaries with you. However you will be getting extra materials to take home with you to add names as you go because this could be very time consuming and this is why I recommend you have a circle and heart punch of your own because this project could grow and grow!
    Class will be Saturday morning
    March 1, 9 AM, My stampin room
    Cost is $35
    You will need to register by Sunday, the 16, to make sure I have your supplies here in time. 
    Class is limited on size so reply soon.

    FREE gift of the Month

    Each month I post a new gift that you can get when you 
    place an online order 
    through my website or by emailing me. 




    This month I thought I would do a cute little box that maybe you could use as a Valentine gift for someone special. I have "just because" as the label here but if you request I will put "Happy Valentine" on your special gift. All Hostesses will receive this special gift too along with the regular hostess benefits! Remember it is Sale A Bration time so being a hostess means an extra $30 on a qualifying party.
     Buying the Starter kits gets you $25 more in FREE product too!!
    Coming soon.....watch for my video with your "party online"!!
