6x6 scrap page workshop

Hi everyone! Hope your all staying nice and warm inside cause that snow is freezing outside. This is a scrap page I put together and am very pleased with how it came out. I Love the pink and brown combo...well just about anything and brown is a favorite for me. I used pink perouette (someday Ill learn how to spell it without looking), bella rose dsp, pink and brown ribbon and chocolate chip ink. Behind the picture is a tag that has the date that the picture was taken and whatnot--thats why the ribbon is up there. I didnt think to pull the tag out to show that thats what it was.

I am going to be having a FREE workshop on January 23rd where we will be making this page. If your not so into scrapbooking but need a night out, come anyways. You will be able to check out the new catalog and see whats coming up for sale-a-bration. And besides, its free...what have you got to lose?

Hope you have a fabulous Day!

this and that

Hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas! I did. The boys had a blast opening presents this year. It was very busy for us. We had a christmas eve party, then stayed at my inlaws for the night so the boys could just open all of their presents there. After presents we headed to my sister in laws for an early dinner and to open presents again. Then after that it was off to our aunts house for christmas with Grandma. It was a very busy long day. My boys were Exhausted. It was nice to see everyone for the holidays though.

I gave the scrap book to my mother in law. I finished it just in time. She opened it christmas morning and before she even turned to the second page started crying. It was really sweet. Then everywhere we went that day she brought it with her to show it off. I had planned on posting some more pictures of it, but I didnt take any pictures before I gave it to her. Next time I see her Ill have to get some.

well just wanted to let yas know she liked the scrapbook. I am working on some more stuff to share with yas soon. Have a great day!

Scrap page 4

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Hope everyone is having a fabulouse christmas today. It came sooo fast this year. So the story behind this scrapbook.... I am making it as a gift for my inlaws. My mother in law has been saying how she would like a family scrapbook so I have been working on putting one together. All of the pages are very simple cause I decided at the last minute that I wanted to do this as a gift. I dont know if she checks out my blog or not--my guess would be no, but ya never know-- thats why I couldnt say it before.

So yesterday I showed you a page with my neice Makenna, well these are her parents. My oh so Wonderful Sister in law and her husband. I will say I have been very lucky. Most ppl cant stand their inlaws and I love mine. I couldnt ask for a better family to marry into. So for this page I used Rose Red (from Earth elements), kiwi kiss, chocolate chip, not quite navy, and some dsp that I have layin around that I bought at michaels. Again a very simple page. I used the big shot for the letters and I was done. I really like the colors of this page. It just seems like they fit their personalities so well. I think this is my favorite page out of the whole book...

Well thanks for stoppin by. Enjoy your holidays!

Scrap Page 3



This is my gorgeous little neice Makenna. She is 10months and such a good baby. I love the main picture on this page and thought that since her shirt was purple, that the page should be purple as well. This is a very very simple page but I really love how it came out. I used 2 purples from the soft subtles family (I cant remember thier names and dont wanna go look) and Pink Pirouette. I had some jolees stickers layin around and thought they went well with the pictues I used so I through them on there for some quick embellishments, used the big shot for her name and VOILA! I was done. so thats page 3.... more to come in the next couple days.

Have a Great Holiday!.

Page 2

This is another page of my other son kaleb. I cant believe Im actually getting a chance to post two days in a row! So this page uses old olive, only orange, brilliant blue (i think) and that DSP that retired and I cant remember the name of. I used chipboard that I had packed away (one of those Ill use this someday things) and after I had it all glued and finished I decided I really didnt like it but Im stuck with it. Every other page i have done for this scrapbook uses the same set of letters. oh well though. Ok my 5 minutes is up. Time to be a mom again. Have a GREAT day!

Baby its cold outside...

Lookin at the picture it looks like its been pretty nice up here in New England... well look closer. That was a picture from our ice storm last week. The picutre below show a better look at all the ice. Granted the town I live in didnt get it any where near as bad, but the surrounding towns did. They were without power for over a week. Now we are in the middle of a snowstorm. We got like a foot yesterday and its been snowin like crazy out all day today. Im not sure how much has accumulated but I know it is FREEEEEZIN out there!


So enough about the weather. I havent posted in sooo long that I thought Id share a scrapbook page I did the other day. I havent scrapbooked in forever. Ive been workin on an 8x8 book and I cant say for what or who or anything like that cause its going to end up being a Christmas present if I finish it in time and ya never know whos checkin out the blog. Now I obviously didnt edit this picture or anything. It needs to be cropped and have the lighting ajusted but you get the picture. I actually changed the page just a tad since Ive taken this picture. i added a couple little photos across the bottom and a Cute as a Bug tag at the top. Its hard to see but around the sides of the blue cardstock I stamped little ants from the bugs and kisses set. I used night of navy, pumpkin pie,bashful blue, and wild wasabi cardstock and I dont recall the name of the DSP. It retired last catalog. I used the big shot to make the letters for his name and that was it. Its a Very simple page but I love how it looks. I think it matches perfectly with my sons Preschool picture. Well thats all for now. I have to start makin some cookies for Wes to bring to school tomorrow. Hopefully I will post another page tomorrow. Dont hold me on it though. Have a great warm and safe day!

stationary set.





As Ive mentioned before my sister in laws and I are participating in a craft fair in Deerfield, Ma. My sil Shanun and I fell in love with these stationary boxes we have seen online on different blogs and sites. So we decided to make some for this craft fair. She is in charge of making the actual box becuase quite frankly i suck at it and she is very good at it and likes to do it. So I opted to make the cards and what not for the inside. I thought I would share a few pictures. This is the last set I finished today. Above is a picture of the whole set, which I just realized I need to fix one of the tags because its in white instead of vanilla. Guess Ill do that tomorrow. Either way the stationary kit comes with 3 41/4 x 51/2 cards, 3 3x3s, and 3 tags. It also comes with envelopes but I didnt think I really had to include a picture of them. I would show you the box that goes with it but I dont have it. They are at her house in New Hampshire. Here are some close up pictures. The lighting isnt very good because its night out here and my apartment doesnt have very good lighting but I think youll get the picture.





If you would like to get your hands on one of these sets stop by the fair on the 29th from 9-4 or you can contact me and I can make one just for you. Have a great weekend!

Thanks for stopping by!

mug sets.

Hello everyone! Thought I would post my new favorite gift set to make. Its very simple and comes out very cute....at least I think so. I simply bought a mug at our local grocery store and added some rub-ons. I used SUs Bella DSP to cover a mini composition book and a chipboard coaster. I covered a binder clip wiht matching paper and added a post it not pad and magnets on the back of it so it can hang on a refrigerator or desk or whatever. I included a coordinating RSVP pen and some peppermint patty sandwhiches. I used the Dreams DuJour stamp set from SU to make the butterflies and the front of the notebook. It is a very simple project to make and is perfect for anyone. Well sorry it was a short one, but I am trying to get some stuff done for this craft fair im doing with my sister in laws and well quite frankly its next week and I still have TONS to do. I will try to post a little more often.. maybe tomorrow, we'll see..Im not making any promises though.
Have a great weekend!
Thanks for poppin by!

it has definately been awhile....

So its been almost a month since Ive posted anything at all. I was doing good at keeping up with my blog but then.... my computer monitor broke. It is still broke, we dont have a clue as to whats wrong with. No money to fix it, no money to get a new one yet. So we have it hooked up to my TV which really sucks! I cant be online if someone is watching tv so now im rarely online for more than a few minutes at a time. I have TONS of stuff I could be posting and showing you pictures of, just no real time. I have been very busy the past few weeks. My Sister in Law Nikol is getting married so my other SIL and I threw her a bridal shower. That was a lot of work. I have also FINALLY finished making Save the Dates for my husbands cousins wedding. I embossed 90 of them. She chose the stamp Tres Chic from SU and I embossed it with clear on black paper. It came out really nice. Then My Sil Shanun and I have been working really hard at getting stuff done for a craft fair we have in a couple weeks. We have an aweful lot of stuff started and very few things finished so we are going to be very busy over the next 2 weeks. Well thats all I have for now. I will try to get some stuff posted in the next week. Have a Great Day!

Christmas Card class


So for those of you that have checked out my SU website have seen that on November 14th I am having a Christmas Card class. I have however changed the cards and the details. The class fee will be $10 and we will be making one of each of the 5 cards shown to the left. I have posted some of these pictures in previous posts but thought it would be nice to have them all in one post so you dont have to scroll around to find them. You will also get an envelope for each card. If you choose too, you can make multiples of a specific card for and additional $2 each. I have to know no later than 11/1 if you will be doing this so I can make sure I have enough supplies.
Dont forget that I am also participating in a Christmas Card extravaganza (see a few posts down) where you can make however many of the cards you choose. Its an all day event with raffles and prizes. Bring your friends, family, whoever you want. Just dont forget to RSVP by the dates shown.
Happy Stampin!

Bows, Bows, and More Bows....

Oh what a Fabulous weekend it has been. Its been in the 70s here in Mass and absoultely gorgeous outside. Yesterday we went to my SIls to help her remodel her basement and while the guys were working her and I took the kids apple picking. It was the cutest thing ever! Kaleb had a blast! He was alll into picking apples. Wes on the other hand was more interested in running around all the trees. Someday I will post pics of them. If I had the pics from yesterday I would post them just to show how cute they were....but I dont. So anyways.. check out these Bows. I am in love with making them. They are super quick to make and come out great. This is a picture of some of the ones i have finished. The rest are cut out, just not put together yet. My SIL and I are going to try to sell these at a craft fair next month. Hopefully they do well. If not, I have bows for all my christmas presents. The only thing you need to make these are a 6x12 piece of dsp, brads, dimensionals, and a hole punch. If you would like detailed directions on how to make it just email me and I will send them to ya. Hope you have a wonderful Columbus Day!

Pocket Silhouettes



Hello! I thought I would share one of my hostess gifts with you all. I gave this to my hostess Andrea last night after her tile coaster class. She LOVED it, as did I. I was sooo please with how it came out. This stamp set is just gorgeous and so versatile. What I did was bought a coffee mug and gave it a rubbon treatment with some rubbons I had left from Sale-a-bration. Inside the cub there is a mini composition book, and rsvp pen, a bookmark, 4 peppermint patty sandwhiches, and a post it not holder. On the mini composition book I also used a rubbon. Had I thought about taking a picture before I had it all put togher you would have been able to see it, but I totally didnt even think about it. I was rather upset with myself. Anyways I Used the Urban Garden dsp for the notebook, pen, and post it note holder as well as for the scallop on the paper clip. I used baja breeze and chocolate chip as my main colors and thats really all there was too it. The post it note holder has magnets on the back so that it can be hung up on something. Sorry the pictures arent so great. I was in a hurry and the lighting was bad in my kitchen. This is such an easy and cute gift to make. I had a lot of fun making it and like I said she LOVED it!
Thats all for today. Thanks for swingin through!

Halloweeeeeeen.





So I've been looking around for some card ideas to go with the halloween theme that are really cute and fun to make. I came acroos Dawn's blog and thought this was the cutest card ever! So I just had to case it. This is what I came up with. I used kiwi Kiss and Lovely Lilac cardstock, black Stampin write marker, white gel pen, 1 3/8 circle punch and the 1inch circle punch. To make the bolts I just cut a rectangle out of sahara sand (it was the closest thing I had to gray) then punched my 1inch circle out of sahara sand. I then cut about 1/3 of the circle off and used my snail to adhere it to the rectangle. It was really a pretty simple card. I love it. I also made him a friend. I found the instructions to make a mummy card. This was also just tooo cute. You can find it here. This card was also pretty simple to make. I sued pale plum (i think), black, orange, and very vanilla cardstock. To make the eyes I used my 1 3/8, 1 1/4, and 1inch circle punches. It looks a little better if you have the 3/4 inch circle instead of the 1inch but I dont have it sooo.. I imporvised. I think he looks cute. I sponged creamy caramel onto the very vanilla to kind of give him that dirty look. I think since my world card making day class is in October we will be making these 2 cards as well. They will be just in time for Halloween and if anyone needs the supplies to make them, they will have time for it to come in. If you would like to make these cards simple join us October 3rd.
Thanks for stoppin by!

Candles


How cute are these?! what a great way to make your candles cooridinate with the decor in the rest of your room. I bought these Vanilla candles and used the snowflake spot stamp set...I was so sad to see it retire. It really was a great stamp. I cant recall which blue I used to stamp them. It was a marker...looks like navy, but I cant be sure. Anyways all ya need are some candles, tissue paper, stamps, markes/inks, and a heat gun and VOILA! You have yourself some candles!

Another Christmas Card

I really am trying to get my next couple months worth of class samples done ahead of time for a change. That way I dont feel so rushed and I can enjoy making the projects. I got the inspiration for this card from a magazine that I get. The card in the magazine has the same layout, only its more plain than mine, however it is a gorgeous card. I used the layout and new I wanted to make a Christmas card with it. I decided that I wanted to make each square look like a Christmas present. So I took out my ribbon and thats what I did. At least I think they look like presesnts. Let me know what ya think.

Stamps: Deer Friends
Paper: Whisper White

You're A Blast!

On todays card I used Pun Fun. I absolutely Love that set, but I never use it. I dont know why. I guess I just always get new sets that I want to play with and since I dont really get that much time to stamp my newer ones get used first. My goal is to make a box set of all the pun fun stamps just because they cover all occassions and they're really cute. So I got inspiration from my upline Angie. I was at her house the other day and she was making a pop up card using this stamp. So I got thinking about it that night and I thought I needed to make one too only mine isnt a pop up card. I have no idea what hers looks like or if she even finished it yet, but I made mine. It uses that adorable little rocket ship. Im thinking I might use this card for my world card making day class... We'll see. So this uses the same color scheme as the Birthday card I posted yesterday. I do eally like those colors together. Here's the recipe for the card. Thanks for visiting!

Stamps: Pun Fun, Nursery Necessities (star)

It's a Christmas Bulb

Well... here it is, my very first Christmas bulb. It looks a lot more wonderful in person. It was pretty hard to photograph in my house as it was night time when I did it. I took a clear bulb that you can find in pretty much any craft store and used Riding Hood Red to die the bulb. I then added some dazzling diamonds glitter and WALA! you have yourself a christmas bulb. I used some rub-ons that I had layin around while I am waitin for my Christmas ones to come in. We will be making one of these bulbs at my Christmas Time Fun class in December among other really cute things. Have a Great Day!

Birthday Wishes

I am really trying hard to keep up with my posting, which means I have to stamp more so I have something to post. Not only do all of you get to see what Ive been working on but I also will get an emblem from my upline for keeping up with my blog. What is an emblem you ask? Look down a couple posts. Its the 20/20/20 Scavenger hunt. Im trying really hard to make it to twenty...we'll see though. I always get a good start on something but have a tendency to slack off after a bit. So anyways todays card....Ya know, I really like the new Pacific Point but its sooo bright, its hard for me to use. I have found that I absolutely love this color combination though. You will see it used in another card that I will post possibly tomorrow or at some point this week. Here's the recipe.
Recipe:
Stamps: Wow Flowers
Paper: Pacific Point, Kiwi Kiss, Tangerine Tango
Ink: Pacific Point, Kiwi Kiss, Tangerine Tango
Accessories: 1 3/8 cirle punch, 1 1/4 circle punch, Scallop Edge Punch
