These items are retiring tomorrow, Wednesday (Aug. 27, 2014), so I wanted to make sure you are aware of them and you can purchase them before it is too late. You can view these products below and more details by clicking through to the Stampin' Up! Holiday Carryover List. Continue reading

Handmade Snowman Gift Tag
Do you still have some last minute gifts to put together for the new year or some upcoming winter events? This little guy is incredibly cute for your packaging! I adapted this from a Christmas tag I saw that someone else made. I used a little bit of new Pacific Point ribbon which will be available in the upcoming Occasions Catalog in January and went for some wintery colors. Don't you love him?! Simple and quick today. I'm hoping to get some work done soon on projects for upcoming classes . . . I can't wait to share them with you as soon as I have a chance to work on Continue reading

Christmas 2013 Scrapbook Layout
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! As you can see, we did! Remember the Snowflake Season Simply Scrappin' Kit I shared a few days ago? I decided to take the basic idea of that layout and make my own version using current and future Stampin' Up! product! (After all, half the reason I bought the kit was to get the shape for the DSP!) Unfortunately, I made this layout right after making the kit . . . and continued with the whole 2014 time jump . . . oh my! If you look closely, you may see a few new things on this layout . . . like tags and buttons . . . . I'm happy Continue reading

Snowflake Season Simply Scrappin’ Kit
When Stampin' Up! added new items to their Clearance Rack recently, I was excited to see the Snowflake Season Simply Scrappin' Kit on there! It's a beautiful kit but I was never willing to pay the full price when it was in the catalog, but the clearance price of $3.99 is superb! I love the shape of green layer and the snowflakes are out of silver glimmer paper which is absolutely beautiful! Umm . . . . as I was preparing these pictures to post here, I realized I got a little ahead of myself . . . see the date? Oops! I'm intending to use this layout for the pictures I'm taking Continue reading

That is why I'm offering the Punch Board Magic class in the new year, so we can explore some of the possibilities with this tool! Punch Board Magic The Envelope Punch Board isn’t just for Envelopes!

Handmade Christmas Angel Ornament
I've enjoyed sharing this special little ornament with several different groups this holiday season! Isn't it cute?! My oldest son's class made these with residents at a nursing home a few weeks ago and then we made them at the StampThat Christmas party on Tuesday and then I made them with the 2nd grade class yesterday. What fun we've had with this one! Thank you for stopping by today! Continue reading

Seasonal Stripes 8×8 Album
I am working on the the Stamping schedule for January through March right now. One of the classes I'm looking forward to is a Scrapbook in a Day Class. It's been a little bit since we've done one of these but they're always lots of fun! We're going to be using the Season of Style 8x8 Album which is currently available in the Holiday Catalog (I may be able to offer another, non-Christmas, option. I will get back to you on that.) This is a great album to record your pictures this year or to combine pictures from previous years and preserve family traditions! In the meantime, I Continue reading

Do you receive the My Paper Pumpkin box in your mailbox each month? You never know what project is going to show up in your mailbox! In November we received a Christmas Card kit, actually, I received two, an extra one as a prize from Stampin' Up! for winning a design contest! I love the little stars which were already all sewn together! How fun! I wish we had these available all the time! Isn't this a cute card? I don't share every month but I knew you would want to see this one. In case you didn't see it yesterday, I postponed the StampThat Christmas Party due tot he snow we Continue reading
