I mentioned the other day that I've been working on a "secret project." I was in the midst of making two scrapbooks, one for Micah's Kindergarten teacher and one of the teacher's aid to be presented at graduation last evening. I had some help but still a lot of it was my ball game and took several hours of work. I didn't take picture of all of the pages, many of them were layouts you've seen before, just with different pictures. This particular page that I've posted here was the last page in one of the books. I made this page up a long time ago with the dahlia fold flowers. Since the Continue reading
Vintage Military Scrapbook Page
I needed to make one more project for the Red, White and Blue challenge I mentioned the other day. Here it is! This is my grandfather. This is my favorite picture from when he was in the military and I wanted it to have an exclusive page in the scrapbook (I just love being able to make my own decisions like that!) Now I will be honest, this is a rather heavy scrapbook page. I used a few more layers than normal but I wanted it to look just right. Would you believe there are 9 layers on here? Yikes! Fill a scrapbook with pages like this and it would weigh a ton! Thank you for stopping Continue reading
Stampin' Up! Product Shares Are In The Mail
I'm afraid I don't have a project to share with you today. I decided to take yesterday off just to be lazy and read a good book. Now how do you like that? I did want to take a quick minute to let you know I have shipped the latest shares. Those of you who participated, and paid for shipping, should receive them later this week I should hope. Thank you for joining in! For those Tomorrow I will have something fun to show you, promise! Continue reading
Stampin' Up! Apron Card
One of my upline members gave a challenge today to make a project with an apron. The only time I ever wear an apron is when I am demonstrating so I decided to make a Stampin' Up! apron. I used the Totally Tess stamp set to help me accomplish the task. With the cute little Stampin' Up! accessory stamps in the Totally Tess stamp set I was able to put some Stampin' tools in the pocket. I used Basic Black Satin ribbon for the neck and the waist ties. I'll admit I wasn't quite sure what to do with the waist ties so I finally decided to connect them to the front and back flaps of the card. Continue reading
Postponing Boxes & Bags Class
The Boxes & Bags II class tonight has been postponed. I do not have a date yet. Yesterday morning we woke to the crash of the telephone pole in our yard hitting the ground very near our van. At this point we do not know when we will have electricity back and we are praying we will not have any flooding problems in our basement (Stamp That classroom) due to the sump pump not being able to work. As soon as I can do some stamping I'll be sure to share it with you! Continue reading
Sending Love & Elegant Thank You
Here's another Thank You card I came up with yesterday. This card uses the Elegant Thank You stamp that can be found on page 144 of the Idea Book & Catalog. This is one of the stamps you can get for free for Sale-A-Bration (see page 11 of the Sale-A-Bration catalog.) The Designer Series Paper I used on this card is the Sending Love Specialty paper found on page 13 of the Occasions Mini Catalog. Can you see the sparkle on the paper? I just love the glitter on this specialty paper! I felt the Chocolate Chip cardstock needed dressed up a little so I used the Finial Press embossing Continue reading

God's Blessings Stampin' Up! Card Swap
Here is the card I made for the card swap tonight! I must say I was VERY impressed with the cards that were shared tonight! I've participated in various swaps before and this was by far the best, everyone worked very hard and did a lovely job! I'm going to be asking the different participants if they would mind showing their cards on here. I hope they'll agree! For my swap I used the colors of Rich Razzleberry, Orchid Opulence and Whisper White. I used a technique with the Bride Specialty paper on this card that I'm very excited to share with the Technique Club this coming month! The Continue reading
My Digital Studio Christmas Card
I created this pretty card on My Digital Studio today. What do you think? It's a clean and simple design. Honestly, this a partially pre-designed card to which I made a couple adjustments. It takes no time at all to create a card digitally. One of the nice things about My Digital Studio is that even if you don't want to print items, you can design them on the computer program just the way you like them and then turn around and take the design you like and do the papercrafting yourself. I like this card I made but honestly I have no intention of printing it. Instead, I'm going to take Continue reading
