We have been enjoying making handmade Memo Boards here in Stewartstown, PA!  I shared a few Memo Boards a while back, you can follow the link to see those.  I thought I would share a few more today.  There are still a few more waiting to be made and I know I forgot to photograph at least one along the way. Amy made this lovely handmade memo board!  She chose to use the Deck the Halls designer fabric along with Very Vanilla Satin ribbon (or was it Very Vanilla Seam Binding?  I can't remember!) and Antique Brads. Amanda also chose Deck the Halls fabric along with Crumb Cake seam binding Continue reading

I have been working on the class schedule for April through June.  I know it may seem like it's taking me forever, I guess it is.  I promise, I'm getting there!  This is a little sneak peek at a project we'll be learning to make in one of the classes.  I'm not sure that it will look exactly like this but like I said, this is a sneak peek! I think you are going to be surprised to learn how these box are made.  They're quite simple really!  I saw one someone else had made and figured it out because I know you're going to love making it! Stay tuned for the next class schedule coming soon . . Continue reading

I've been planning to make one of these for a while now. . . I've just been shying away from the sewing machine!  I finally broke down the other day and got to work.  This bag was made with the  Springtime Vintage fabric found in the Occasions Mini Catalog. I think it took me about an hour to make it. There's a trick to making this fun bag, it's the Scallop Square Big Shot die on page 207 of the Idea Book & Catalog!  I used the die and Big Shot to cut the fabric, sewed the pieces together, lined the bag and attached a handle.  Okay, that might make it sound a tad easier than it was, but Continue reading

Here's a little sneak peek at the Tag It! class.  I'm very excited about the fun tags we are going to be making in this class using the Tag Alongs stamp set.  The Tag Alongs stamp set is a very special set.  This is the set Stampin' Up! picked this year as the one for Ronald McDonald Charities.  Each time a Tag Alongs stamp set is purchased Stampin' Up! will donate $2.00 to the charity. I'll let you see one of the tags.  I just love this little guy holding the cupcake!  Isn't he cute?  I made him with the Build-A-Bear Big Shot die. I hope you will consider joining us for the Tag It! class Continue reading

I've shown you my Memo Board in the past which you see here.  I used the Deck the Halls fabric, Victoria Crotchet Trim and Antique Brads to  make it. Last night, there were ladies here for the Above & Beyond class as well as the first round of the Memo Board class.  I thought you might like to see two that were made last night.  Thank you to Pam and Sherri for being willing to share your Memo Boards! This lovely Memo Board was made with fabric from the Springtime Vintage collection along with Very Vanilla Grosgrain ribbon and the Vintage brads. And this  great memo board was made Continue reading

I'm so excited about the Chocolate Parties today!  I spent several hours in the kitchen yesterday making chocolate goodies.  Don't worry, I spent some time in the classroom too!  I created this special purse.  Isn't it cute?  One of the people attending the parties today will get to take this home with them! I made it using Early Espresso and Pretty in Pink cardstock along with Pretty in Pink Striped Grosgrain Ribbon and Vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware.  Oh, and of course I lot of Sticky Strip!  There's something inside it . . . but I'm not going to tell you today.  Don't you just love me?!  Continue reading

Good morning everyone!  I'm afraid I'm running behind already today, what a way to get started!  With all the ice outside it seems like a good day for a pretty flower to perk us all up! This beautiful flower and vase were the door prize at the Valentine/Thinking of You card class last night!  I didn't get a very good close up picture of the flower but even my hubby was impressed with how it looked.  I used the Circles #2 Big Shot die, and the Big Shot of course, with some tissue paper to make the flower.  using the Big Shot to cut out tons of tissue paper circles in one  roll makes these Continue reading
