This is like the first set I really wanted when I first got introduced to Stampin' Up. Its wonderful. This card is fairly plain but I still like it. I used tempting turquoise and old olive cardstock. Then using the stampin' write marker colored the snail choco chip and olive and stamped the ants in black. Finished it off with some chocolate chip ribbon and of course the swiss dots embossing folder. Thank God for the big shot. lol. It so simply adds so much to a card. I mean "back in the day" the green wouldnt have had any texture or dimension at all. How sad is that? Anyways, thanks for popping by! </div><div> </div><div>Have a great day!</div>Laura Fiskehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01477870209030421486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294278922538093087.post-86465244267350804912011-03-13T13:20:00.004-04:002011-03-13T13:27:52.958-04:00Bugs and Kisses<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoU90tKlJAXzmkKljgKlsheNrvoigq0btdBrDvlrysztDh2zjcHougQvAsfxKNJd7xCa1FNWYY5DmIwoZmhTlrKRolFwpQB-xz6u-Ei2bn3YfFRUwfz8dOkpwY38zAlbYAXz0Q49YDXQA/s1600/IMG_0419.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 245px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 160px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583616036616474258" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoU90tKlJAXzmkKljgKlsheNrvoigq0btdBrDvlrysztDh2zjcHougQvAsfxKNJd7xCa1FNWYY5DmIwoZmhTlrKRolFwpQB-xz6u-Ei2bn3YfFRUwfz8dOkpwY38zAlbYAXz0Q49YDXQA/s320/IMG_0419.JPG" /></a>Hello everyone. So here is today's card. I made it a few months ago (dont recall the reson why) and just adore it. It uses Sahara sand, marina mist, and wild wasabi cardstock. I used the twill ribbon, swiss dots embossing folder and of course the bugs and kisses stamp set. I am attending regionals this week and this is going to be the swap card I use. Hopefully other people like it and "want" it.<br /><br />In other news, One more week until my friend and her family come out to visit from colorado. Havent seen her in about 7yrs so it will be a nice but very short visit im sure. She has two little ones and they have decided they are going to drive out here so most of the vacation will be spend in the car with only a few days actually visiting, but Ill take what I can get. Hopefully we make them like it here sooo much that they will move. ;)<br /><br />Have a great day!Laura Fiskehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01477870209030421486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294278922538093087.post-78458039139920549782011-02-26T17:58:00.003-05:002011-02-26T18:08:42.216-05:00its been almost a year.....<div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0oVGS6QQBCtkRKiU2Cv9AfusuOoSJsmzn8ezvz3FzDT6ZdqRsK51yaXybAEOiA-j7NvJZkpVw4d_X0JoIXe0OA9PzGLhTrcDeZNEdl5Ncs7-uCcCRgEVkjGWy2CJEfwIEIE9NEBqpxbc/s1600/IMG_0895.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 194px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 270px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578138029047342738" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0oVGS6QQBCtkRKiU2Cv9AfusuOoSJsmzn8ezvz3FzDT6ZdqRsK51yaXybAEOiA-j7NvJZkpVw4d_X0JoIXe0OA9PzGLhTrcDeZNEdl5Ncs7-uCcCRgEVkjGWy2CJEfwIEIE9NEBqpxbc/s320/IMG_0895.JPG" /></a>Yep. thats right. Its been almost a year since my last post, how sad. Nothing new has really happened, just "havent had time". I may not have posted in a long time, but I certainly didnt stop stamping. I actually have learned how to sew a lil....well, im still learning. Ill post some projects over the next couple days. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>So, i thought today I would share one of my latest favorite projects. Its nothing difficult and youve seen it before Im sure but I think its cute. Its a mini composition book and matching pen all wrapped up with a topper. I used some retired SU DSP (I dont recall the name but I think you can still get it through my online store on the clearance rack) and of course my fav owl punch. I LOVE his googly eyes. I used the retired set "a lil somthin" on the topper which is made with the SU bigshot top note die. </div><div> </div><div>well thats all for my post today. Ill work on updating this thing over the next week and hopefully get back on track.

Here is the project we will be making on the 24th. Its a brag book so to speak. It can hold up to 9 pictures if you wanted it too. We will be using the sweet pea felt flowers which are coming to an end this month. Thats right, this is the last month for the occassions mini so you will want to get your orders in before the end of the month.<br /><br />This first picture you see is the cover. I kinda messed it up as I decided I wanted to emboss it after I put it together. So I gave it a whirl and missed some and then I did it backwards so the <div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJXJPtRzBBHdQRXSqSTP_YmGJhM1Kh8z2T6xgMD4_Sor3buM_rt8sK99kZHZfJC5hgBcqieY8wpvFSKkZFaT6IBgHKovPfTpg7HJ-Ja2qyHafFPCboeFkfVL0pjGafdvvEWjIQ_WDCwMg/s1600/IMG_9069.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457752064066232418" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJXJPtRzBBHdQRXSqSTP_YmGJhM1Kh8z2T6xgMD4_Sor3buM_rt8sK99kZHZfJC5hgBcqieY8wpvFSKkZFaT6IBgHKovPfTpg7HJ-Ja2qyHafFPCboeFkfVL0pjGafdvvEWjIQ_WDCwMg/s320/IMG_9069.jpg" /></a></div>impression is on the inside. At the class however,<br /><div>we will do it the right way. lol.<br /><br />The next picture is what it looks like when you open it up. you can see the cardstock in front of the picutre which allows for some journaling. You could also add some paper and a picture to the outside of the bag and make room for more pictures. Totally up to you. This is how I opted to do it. I think next time Ill try it the other way. So thats the project. Please let me know if you are attending or not. The class fee is $10f and I have to know by the 14th.<br /><br />Well thats all for now, I have other stuff i have to get done but I will be posting again later.<br />The weather is amazing! Get out and enjoy it!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy1jD1AKvDgehQ1nN_0CouI0oZFb3p-SMiJ-aFqN7BRGwT4Ci8HLNAB-YZEE0LTlzGLjJ1T5NSsgtEczrqhrz2yWpaCDaKUOgC8rTlLu7ADDVjohsnRHHajp91kW0zrhYgkDFs-iFYzxc/s1600/IMG_9070.jpg"></a></div>Laura Fiskehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01477870209030421486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294278922538093087.post-2872964053710701072010-03-15T05:06:00.001-04:002010-03-15T05:06:00.639-04:00Keychain<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZQznDzGf_0D58jaUiZwCQE4U8NJJ28B7nQeCTymddzsK5kBPnB-QFXF7hbiccTadjd4HgusUvDusDAQ-A6BteGURYp7pK2KIjbop6Fe-wgOXK2uAsuuIum2hH8wBYI8rA0yse_7pgeqs/s1600-h/IMG_8938.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 134px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448604515825852258" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZQznDzGf_0D58jaUiZwCQE4U8NJJ28B7nQeCTymddzsK5kBPnB-QFXF7hbiccTadjd4HgusUvDusDAQ-A6BteGURYp7pK2KIjbop6Fe-wgOXK2uAsuuIum2hH8wBYI8rA0yse_7pgeqs/s200/IMG_8938.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTG5jDaa-vCYn26AtrVV7IqFM_R8W4ZAU6WUvoEVoQZBR92eI39jTlSxVB09hAadw51cye2TLALJ1FsBiM1J3vf3GJHSZDsFojbUj64fZSxqlJNPKl8toVyXG8eY57J2kTSBo-SSQ6wWM/s1600-h/IMG_8939.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 205px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448602576864402210" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTG5jDaa-vCYn26AtrVV7IqFM_R8W4ZAU6WUvoEVoQZBR92eI39jTlSxVB09hAadw51cye2TLALJ1FsBiM1J3vf3GJHSZDsFojbUj64fZSxqlJNPKl8toVyXG8eY57J2kTSBo-SSQ6wWM/s320/IMG_8939.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div>So here is the keychain i was telling you about. This is the one side of it. I know not all of you might like my choice of paper but its just to show you the idea. I used our hodgepodge hardware. Whats nice about using that is they cooridnate with our punches so all you have to do is punch out the paper and glue it in. you can get the keychain rings at any craft store and the chain I used came from michaels in the jewelry section. the keychain has 2 sides. You glue the hardware together to make it have a front and a back. You dont have to use just dsp, you can also stamp an image or whatever you want to do. You can make your very own, one of a kind, personalized keychain. </div><div> </div><div>Well I hope you like them. If you would like to learn how to make them just schedule a class with me. We can do it at your house or mine and you can invite whomever you want. Well hope you enjoy your day and find some time to stamp.</div><div> </div></div>Laura Fiskehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01477870209030421486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294278922538093087.post-3579981054635083102010-03-14T16:19:00.004-04:002010-03-14T16:38:46.217-04:00Rag Shag Purse<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2_sLNtlgfuAAdydaLikWmvuuvz234pGPDUaWceY2FVXPUlQJF-l4SVSGRxqYEh_zaPZZrEVcx9HL8o5i9_32q5ItRuGU_qOP_g-jf3hrPcxtzGD2crxuSgtwbxa2Ig9hKqMKh0Mr8I3M/s1600-h/IMG_8937.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 214px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448587831960834658" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2_sLNtlgfuAAdydaLikWmvuuvz234pGPDUaWceY2FVXPUlQJF-l4SVSGRxqYEh_zaPZZrEVcx9HL8o5i9_32q5ItRuGU_qOP_g-jf3hrPcxtzGD2crxuSgtwbxa2Ig9hKqMKh0Mr8I3M/s320/IMG_8937.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLgxPYzy_l7phErY-waWLIcpLwlYosSpUgIDE33u5QfJnflrwSLAVDgmk20rpGyMC5pjturM_z8gQpGluNxK4QtMyp4EcZG00owwxWzHtIIcBQoLvmsXq9Gc-vvjR6ke7s3_p7NpJwEQU/s1600-h/IMG_8937.JPG"></a><br /><br /><div>Hello all. Todays post is called a rag shag purse. I wish it was my original idea, but its definately not. I love these things. Got the idea from chicknscratch.com. That woman is amazing. She is so talented it makes me jealous. lol. So Ive been dieing to make one forever. Last night I went to my mils and she helped me. I couldnt have done it without her. I really suck at sewing and all that type of stuff. It wasnt super hard. Ive learned that I need to buy more fabric than I did. I didnt have enough black to put on the inside so I used a pink fabric that I really like, but would have rathered have it be the same colors on the inside. I think the next time I will make it another layer deeper and wider and maybe add the button that she did. </div><div></div><div>Stop back tomorrow to see the keychain I made. Again, not my original idea... but I still like it. Dont forget this is the last month for SAB. For every $50 you spend you get to pick something for free out of the SAB catalog. Get your orders in. you can call, email me, or shop on my <a href="http://www.laurafiske.stampinup.net/">website</a>. </div><div></div><div>Have a great day!</div></div>Laura Fiskehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01477870209030421486noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294278922538093087.post-979775536514706492010-03-13T10:00:00.000-05:002010-03-13T10:00:02.195-05:00So, im a little slow today...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWwgCEq8E7uVpOozUf0XgYaUE7X7mIKF9IrS2wltX31rDr5z4Z_kUA7zMTdVUpv8HTsx1hkLE-bFxXqBaTc7HAP9AFaCTMGnjGXwr3NWY3YiSOgZHqT4XhF78spw-SVpDNOff5jOuTaWM/s1600-h/IMG_8924.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447754159267332178" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWwgCEq8E7uVpOozUf0XgYaUE7X7mIKF9IrS2wltX31rDr5z4Z_kUA7zMTdVUpv8HTsx1hkLE-bFxXqBaTc7HAP9AFaCTMGnjGXwr3NWY3YiSOgZHqT4XhF78spw-SVpDNOff5jOuTaWM/s320/IMG_8924.JPG" /></a><br />Well, after posting the last post, I was puttsin around online and when i was done and closed out the web browser I found the pop up to upload my picture. So I guess in reality it wasnt blogger that was being a pain, it was me being slow. lol. So this is the card for the day. I <strong>NEVER</strong> make cards like this. I always see other peoples cards that are like this only with a different layout or something, and it always looks amazing. Thought Id step out of my comfort zone and give it a whirl. I used the flower #3 die for the flowers and the corduroy brads for the center. I used the paper thats in the mini-dont remember the name- as well as the lots of dots embossing folder. The border punch is in the SAB catalog for FREE! A free punch...it doesnt get much better than that! Remember, this is the last month for SAB.<br /><br />well, now that I got the picture to upload its time to get working on other stuff. Ive been making invitations, rsvps, and tickets for my friends jack n jill party in may. I have 40 sent and another 25 to stuff, stamp, stamp again, and mail. My goal was yesterday, but that just didnt happen. Hopefully Ill get the rest out today.<br /><br />Have a great day!Laura Fiskehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01477870209030421486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294278922538093087.post-39077265581791299222010-03-13T09:19:00.000-05:002010-03-13T09:19:00.476-05:00ugh...blogger is driving me CrAzY!Hello there. I have a card to show you today but blogger really isnt making this easy. It let me up load the picture but when it showed up it turns out it wasnt the right size. So I deleted it and went to do it over and now it wont let me. I even deleted that posting and started over and it still wont let me. Im trying really hard though to keep this up. Hopefully blogger will be more helpful later on today. Well, guess thats it since I cant upload it. Ill try again later so check back.Laura Fiskehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01477870209030421486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294278922538093087.post-21056536861071981282010-03-12T08:02:00.000-05:002010-03-12T08:02:00.233-05:00Good Neighbors<div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglFh9iZlWn4QPwvT0aygdwKi_9NYOD5bwBRmSGdEfZuVnJAe0jBCEFp-b5aYsBnX16a-zYqvQZ1sCfCOla_FSCalrCW8jLjCsmT5T0SZohxfSuUEux_nzU2OkcWRWqal5jZcw0DZLkugw/s1600-h/IMG_8915.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447423466370595842" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglFh9iZlWn4QPwvT0aygdwKi_9NYOD5bwBRmSGdEfZuVnJAe0jBCEFp-b5aYsBnX16a-zYqvQZ1sCfCOla_FSCalrCW8jLjCsmT5T0SZohxfSuUEux_nzU2OkcWRWqal5jZcw0DZLkugw/s320/IMG_8915.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div>Well... Im on the road to keeping up with my posts. This is a card Ive been workin on the past couple days. In reality it didnt take very long its just that I work on it 10mins here and 10mins there when I can sneak away from the boys. My wonderful upline gives her downline challenges and this weeks color challenge was to use razzleberry, so saffron, and old olive. Well I only had one small piece of old olive and I mess it up workin on the card. So I improvised with Always Artichoke. I think Old Olive would have looked better but hey, what can ya do ya know. Now I know I need to order more. lol. So this card uses two sets from the Sale-a-bration catalog called Good Neighbors and Whimsical words. They are both really great sets. There is also a paper pack that matches the good neighbor set. I used the scallop border punch that you can get for free in the SAB catalog as well. I popped the houses up on dimensionals as well as the tag on the right. I also used the perfect dots embossing folder thats in the mini on the background. I SOOOOO LOVE that folder. I use it on almost everything! It was the best $7 I ever spent lol. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuDmVqsU_brTqe9yuljztOPZDsh8RUSF8UbqhGR71I84LgkmYMcJAS89Atfuffo62G-fI9NZ4Y5BPbr88o0_r_R6Fd_LnyGn3Xy736vdTJA87idZACmx96MV9zipI4dbYKfH74pAZfUy8/s1600-h/IMG_8919.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447425112925232786" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuDmVqsU_brTqe9yuljztOPZDsh8RUSF8UbqhGR71I84LgkmYMcJAS89Atfuffo62G-fI9NZ4Y5BPbr88o0_r_R6Fd_LnyGn3Xy736vdTJA87idZACmx96MV9zipI4dbYKfH74pAZfUy8/s200/IMG_8919.JPG" /></a>So when I was finishing up this card yesterday Kaleb thought he needed to help me. He wanted to stamp too. He started out with some stamps... Wasnt havin so much luck. He wasnt inking it enough, he is only 2. So then he decided that it would be more fun to use his hand. He was very proud. I on the other hand wasnt as amused as he was, but thats just the way it is I suppose.</div><div> </div><div>Well thats it. I am really gonna try to keep up with this. Cross your fingers. haha. Have a great day and find some time to stamp!!</div><div> </div><div>Oh yea, Im having a workshop on the 27th at 2. We will be using SAB products. not entirely sure what we will be making yet, but I promise youll have fun. Let me know if you want to come!</div></div>Laura Fiskehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01477870209030421486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294278922538093087.post-27225393973449366132010-03-06T09:51:00.006-05:002010-03-11T11:55:45.173-05:00oi oi oi....<div><div>You have no idea how long it has taken me to get this to post! I actually had this all done last week but everytime I went to move the pictures where they needed to be it would lock up. Finally it is working. Ok so this time Im not even gonna say Im going to keep up with it, cause as you can see.... Im not so good at it. Some new stuff has gone on since the last time I posted. Sale-a-bration is the most exciting. For every $50 you spend you get to pick something free out of the SAB catalog. SAB ends March 31st so while this is some late notice, Order while you still can. </div><div></div><div><br /></div><div>The Occassions mini is also in effect. It started in January as well and is good through the end of march. You can view either of these catalogs on the <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/">Stampin Up Website</a> There is some really great stuff in there that includes a new punch style and Clear mount stamps. YAY!!! They are so great, especially for those of you (me included) that dont have space to store all of your favorite stamps and punches. I call them space savers since they really do save space. </div><div><br /></div><div></div><div>ok, now ill show ya some stuff that Ive been workin on lately. Ill get around to posting some other stuff Hopefully (not making any promises) this coming week. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNTkFd4R9h0719GYMDdzeN7dyq6JqLJGY52MNkTc7SdR_-h9PntEDysuDvoBOTrsxd7AMblmh2pC10VECdrVATHp9OZW99xEFnIPVioBJ0K7oQD1mSeqcAP3rzGru5qKZmWMqt5vrq3E4/s1600-h/IMG_8903.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445536183716553570" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNTkFd4R9h0719GYMDdzeN7dyq6JqLJGY52MNkTc7SdR_-h9PntEDysuDvoBOTrsxd7AMblmh2pC10VECdrVATHp9OZW99xEFnIPVioBJ0K7oQD1mSeqcAP3rzGru5qKZmWMqt5vrq3E4/s400/IMG_8903.JPG" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>This picture is a card we did at my last class. It uses the Fox and Friends stamp from the mini. I SOOOOO LOVE this stamp. I think it is just the cutest thing ever! I also used the new chocolate chip satin ribbon that comes in like 8 other colors. This ribbon is oh so fabulous! Others did it a little differently which looked awesome. So I tried it their way and definately liked theirs better. Here's my version...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsmGj_dVwPlzB53HeNwBzqEwscIGVvractVKDOgSdYM6Vd48FPN9x1ZCRCYS_2xCtClg8PZeuwUpfiBE5hLPnB4Sj4oz7XyLFZ8wW53SYanz3Njcj14k_BpGNa64-5-TJGQVqwxUehDT0/s1600-h/IMG_8905.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445582839915956146" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsmGj_dVwPlzB53HeNwBzqEwscIGVvractVKDOgSdYM6Vd48FPN9x1ZCRCYS_2xCtClg8PZeuwUpfiBE5hLPnB4Sj4oz7XyLFZ8wW53SYanz3Njcj14k_BpGNa64-5-TJGQVqwxUehDT0/s320/IMG_8905.JPG" /></a></div><div><br /> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div>Melissa made a card similar to this one. I think hers was a tad different but this is kind of how I remember it. Hers for whatever reason looked way better than this one came out. </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt0aOx7rEuuaFk23tW2vTSY-kJuOtcnBuBYpwwkLjsghWGQHZay-rpjhljb2916yxpFAgmhZNeAVs3iBKkANm_m_etZ3P3wjjrK2OIqRyJZHtdVvjWmYO2iwCV9R5P6Q7j1B-CHnfoPWQ/s1600-h/IMG_8904.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446039515013666978" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt0aOx7rEuuaFk23tW2vTSY-kJuOtcnBuBYpwwkLjsghWGQHZay-rpjhljb2916yxpFAgmhZNeAVs3iBKkANm_m_etZ3P3wjjrK2OIqRyJZHtdVvjWmYO2iwCV9R5P6Q7j1B-CHnfoPWQ/s320/IMG_8904.JPG" /></a><br /></div><div></div><div><br />And this one, Shanun made it like this. Again, hers looked awesome and Im not so happy with how mine came out. I dont know why. So, I guess that means I should keep to my original. Well thats it for today. I will try to keep up with my posting. </div><div> </div><div> </div><div>Remember this is the last month for SAB so get your orders in so you can get your free stuff. There is a ton of great products in there!</div><div> </div><div>Have a fabulous Day!!<br /><br /><br /></div><div></div><div><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div></div><div><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div></div></div>Laura Fiskehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01477870209030421486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294278922538093087.post-77859815600467925592010-01-17T11:29:00.004-05:002010-01-17T12:12:04.275-05:00I did it Again....I totally havent posted since October. I have done a lot of stuff since then, just havent been keepin up with this. I need to start. So I suppose I should catch ya up on all the stuff goin on. -<br /><br />-First, its <span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>Sale-A-Bration</strong></span>!! You know what that means, for every $50 spent on merchandise you get to pick something out of the sale-a-bration brochure. Lots of great goodies in there. Stamps, paper, and even a punch. You can also pick from a select group of stamps that are in the current catalog. How awesome is that!<br /><br />-Next, we have the new occassions mini. Just when you thought things couldnt get any better... SU proves us wrong. New punches, I call them space savers. They fold up and ultimately save space. We also have acrylic blocks. You have the option of ordering your stamps on wooden blocks or ordering them off the blocks and using them on acrylic blocks. Again, this saves space! I love that because I dont have a ton of space so I think this is just so Amazing!<br /><br />-Third, I am starting a frequent stamper card. For every $25 you spend you get a punch off of your card. Once you fill the card, you get $10 in free merchandise of your choice.<br /><br />-Fourth, Button and Ribbon Shares..... What does that mean?<br /><br /><div align="center"><strong>Ribbon Share</strong></div><div align="center">For $18.63 you will receive 3 yards of 9 different colored satin ribbons. </div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">Thats a total of 27 yards of ribbon (81ft) of ribbon. </div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">The colors are: Basic Black, Ral Red, Chocolate Chip, Certainly Celery, Pretty In Pink, Bashful Blue, Very Vanilla, Old Olive, Basic Gray. (pg 27 in mini)</div><br /><strong></strong><br /><div align="center"><strong>Button/Brad Share</strong></div><div align="center">New colors of corduroy buttons and epoxy brads. (pg 13 of mini)</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">For $9.60 receive 6 corduroy brads of 2 colors, for a total of 12 corduroy buttons/brads and 4 epoxy brads of 3 colors for a total of 12 brads. </div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">If you want both shares, it is $28.32</div><br />-to order any of the shares call or email me. my email is <a href="mailto:laura0202@hotmail.com">laura0202@hotmail.com</a> and phone is 413-834-1932.<br /><br />To view the spring mini or the Sale a bration catalogs click on the link on the right side of the page.<br /><br />-last but not least, there is a new insert for the definately decorative catalog. We have some really great stencils and new vinyls.<br /><br />After all this gab, here is a card that we will be making at my class on the 23rd. If you would like to join us the class fee is $10 and its at my apt in turners. We will be learning a new technique and using new stamps, paper, and punches from the mini. Call or email me to RSVP as soon as possible.<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 156px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 239px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427756243506067634" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0nVtUJPE-soUncq214REzT74rOihP4KOHM_dNsDHLjql3O4B30cg9P29PrlEgh4Xk3khRVr-x4QtVYY7mua0ffjgQH6WFdl9luZIJPMy2C6Ji25w9HkS-jQ71aSXwx8RPjwT5040fYks/s400/IMG_8828.JPG" /><br /><p></p><p>Hope you have a fabulous Day! </p>Laura Fiskehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01477870209030421486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294278922538093087.post-16981790960963035852009-10-03T14:22:00.011-04:002009-10-03T15:03:21.906-04:00Deals of the Week is BACK!Ok so I was back, but then evidently I disappeared.

I have been really busy photographing weddings and editing them and everything else that has seemed to pop up. So, Im back.

There are sooo many fabulous things in here, I dont even know where to start. SU has teamed up with Build-a-bear to offer BAB dies for the bigshot. They have cute little outfits, coordinating papers, and stamp sets. </div><div> </div><div>We also have our simply adorned collection. It includes locket charms in three different sizes, chains to go with, and a magnetic gift box to put it in. They are absolutely darling. </div><div> </div><div>Then theres the sweet treat cups. They are cups that you attatch to your cards or other projects that can be filled with whatever you want. They are roughly the size of a peppermint patty. I have seen soooo many great things done with these cups, Im already obsessed. You can even order a coordinating stamp set to go with them. </div><div> </div><div>Last but not least, My digital studio. MDS has SUs exclusive images, papers, and embellishments all digitally. For those of you that arent into traditional scrapbooking, this is for you. You can also creat cards, and any other project you can think of. </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div>Well thats it for now. Ive been at this computer alll morning and have stuff to do. Hopefully later I will be back to update you with the promotions going on right now. </div><div> </div><div>Have a wonderful day!</div><div> </div><div><strong></strong> </div><div> </div></div>Laura Fiskehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01477870209030421486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294278922538093087.post-41468956623174396952009-07-29T07:25:00.003-04:002009-07-29T08:52:37.588-04:00Deal of the Week<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO_f-o8bQm-pYIC5smYnITT_0OdJx_zbKSDjTUM61GLK40q84Jp3u5BHDKY7K6TQbB8ALi2cPNC1hvyItlEmGPzmH7sFlOPYG6idx4yg_VSf_f8MDpD10lcgF-F600bYpK4GMajcLMwjo/s1600-h/CM397B.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 233px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363843288664562594" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO_f-o8bQm-pYIC5smYnITT_0OdJx_zbKSDjTUM61GLK40q84Jp3u5BHDKY7K6TQbB8ALi2cPNC1hvyItlEmGPzmH7sFlOPYG6idx4yg_VSf_f8MDpD10lcgF-F600bYpK4GMajcLMwjo/s400/CM397B.jpg" /></a><br />It's here already.

Yesterday Yankee Candle had a kids day. They had Mr. and Mrs. Potato head, Bumble Bee from the Transformers, Mr. Play doh, My Little Pony, and I heard a rumor that the Monopoly guy was there, but we didnt see him. They had all kinds of things for the kids to do. They had twister, giant jenga, potato sack races, and a pre school center where there was gator gulf, limbo and elefun (the game where the elephant blows out butterflies and the kids try to catch them in nets). They also had candle dipping, wax works where you could dip your hand in the wax and make a sculpture and you could also make your own jar candle. Then they had this puzzle machine where they took your picture and inserted it into a scence of your choice and it made a puzzle of it. The boys each got spongebob, it was super cute. The boys had a blast and were really well behaved!<br /><br />Hopefully today or tomorrow I will take some pictures of the cards we made at the class yesterday and get those posted. Until then, thanks for surfin my blog.Laura Fiskehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01477870209030421486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294278922538093087.post-42896196695135918032009-07-20T14:26:00.005-04:002009-07-20T14:30:19.571-04:00Deal of the Week #4<div>Happy Monday!

Thought I would use some stuff I havent used in awhile. In the bottom corner, a build-a-brad. I bought them, loved them, and didnt want to share them. I recently decided if I dont share them how will anyone else see how fabulous they are? On top, the defining alphabet and define your life sets. I just <u>had to have</u> these sets and again, dont use them very often so I thought I should use them as well. Then of course the new oh so fabulous in colors and dsp. I use those a lot though.<br /><br /><br />Dont forget the deal of the week this week is square rhinestone brads. You have until Monday to order them at the discounted price. There is no limit on how many you order. So call, email me, or shop online to get yours before monday when its too late.<br /><br />Thanks for stoppin by!Laura Fiskehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01477870209030421486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294278922538093087.post-42929822451812466852009-07-14T13:52:00.002-04:002009-07-14T13:59:05.350-04:00Deal of the week #3<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijCvk4VjXFOKS21s6K0C6NYhkVyF4OO9ZlxEm4uGTahGF2ibVywfjiKTJbGoy0HLkImxG933TuKYLJY2ReZ29ZgvOTclBClvweaytj9SmcC8aG1lmLiKTkPIyMAjiZheBnkQFkArDOAuU/s1600-h/brads.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358375375364878322" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 194px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijCvk4VjXFOKS21s6K0C6NYhkVyF4OO9ZlxEm4uGTahGF2ibVywfjiKTJbGoy0HLkImxG933TuKYLJY2ReZ29ZgvOTclBClvweaytj9SmcC8aG1lmLiKTkPIyMAjiZheBnkQFkArDOAuU/s400/brads.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div align="left">From July 13-July 20th at 9:50am you can purchase Square Fire Rhinestone Brads regularly priced at $10.95, for $6.95 this week only!

It is another rainy day here in Mass. I think we have had rain for the past 2 weeks it seems. I thought maybe I would post a card today (this keeps me from laying on the couch taking a nap). So, the base is chocolate chip and I used the dsp that I cant currently remember the name of.... it will come to me soon. I used baja breeze-of course- and very vanilla where the sentiment is stamped. I used the sentiment from the very versatile set. I love that set. It has sentiments for everything, and they are really nice sentiments. I through 3 half back pearls on the bottom corner and thats it. It would make a good anniversary or even a wedding card. hmm... well the name of that dsp still hasnt come to me so I suppose I should go look. Hold on a sec......................................................................................... AH HA! Parisian Breeze. I knew that. So anyways, that of course is a paper that is retiring so if you want it, you have to order it now (if its not already gone). You have until June 30th to order from the retiring lists. Thats only 6 days away. SO HURRY UP! </div><div> </div><div>Ok, thats it. I need to make some phone calls, then probably be lazy since its so yucky outside. Have a great day!</div>Laura Fiskehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01477870209030421486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294278922538093087.post-64720426228988279352009-06-22T10:26:00.003-04:002009-06-22T10:41:35.066-04:00a priceless dressHello All! What a yucky, dreary day it is here in Mass. I thought I would post a card for you to see and remind you that there are only 8 days, yes, <span style="font-size:130%;"><u><strong><em>8 DAYS </em></strong></u></span><span style="font-size:100%;">left for you to order your retiring items from the current catalog. You can order your retiring stamps and accessories online anytime, day or night, by clicking on the link at the top right that says online shopping. Dont wait, put your order in today before its too late!</span><br /><br />On to the card....<br /><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350158365694965570" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 313px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4kBspNuNChM5-AWrnY1lPHaUVonKPDJIaT7UFBYKPa-xhg1lqKVHHacm4tLW1hwOM8-ISEuACvRGopqAxwJ-ZTO8QWKeTwZSJ8wZQbHZVwpFKtBEf3vZjqNtdEoY7FezHpv-uJ-UM6l4/s400/IMG_4566.jpg" border="0" /><br />So, as usual, the picture is crappy. Its a little blurry which I didnt notice until now, but you get the idea. This is a card we will be making at my workshop on friday the 26th. I am going to let them sample the new incolors. I love these little dress cards. I think they are so cute. The background on this is actually textured. I dotn know if you can tell or not. It looks much better in person but unless you come to the workshop you wont get to see it in person. </p><p>Well.. thats all for today. I have some pictures done so I will be posting over the next few days... hopefully. Hopefully Ill finish the other projects we are making at the workshop so I can post those as well. Remember... its a rainy day, that makes for a fabulous stamping day!<br /></p>Laura Fiskehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01477870209030421486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294278922538093087.post-50743415343707937242009-06-15T08:46:00.002-04:002009-06-15T08:50:50.058-04:00Summer School!<div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">Summer School is in Session!</span></strong></div><p>"Summer School" is in session!

This is sneak peek number 2. I absolutely LOVE this stamp set. Its called razzle dazzle. I cased this card from someone online,but I did change up the colors and sentiment. These are the Thank You cards for the customers that came to my last class. I used the new stamp, the razzle berry ink and the matching polka dot ribbon. I used the oval all stamp set for the sentiment with the scallop oval punch. I love that punch and set. I really like this card, even if I did copy it from someone. I can see me making more of these.<br /><br />Now and kind of funny story. See the card below? Well I gave it to my friends daughter for her birthday yesterday (She lov ed it) and of course her mom opened the card up and started reading it to everyone, well she opens it up to read the inside and starts laughing. I couldnt figure out why. Then she said that I had left it blank. I totally forgot to write anything on the inside. No Happy birthday, no from us, nothing. Completely blank! Maybe ya had to be there, but it was pretty funny.<br /><br />Ok, well I think My kid just pooped. I can smell him and its terrible so I guess I should go change him (like you really wanted to know that). SO you have a great day. Its raining, which means its the perfect day to stay inside and use all the Stampin' UP supplies you purchase!<br /><br />Happy STamping!Laura Fiskehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01477870209030421486noreply@blogger.com1
