Project 4...

This is the 4th project we will be making at the class on Sunday. Its a cute little Easter basket... or if you dont celebrate Easter... it can be used for whatever reason you like. I can just see putting Easter grass and a couple eggs in this, maybe with some Jelly beans or chocolates or something. A great little gift for neices, nephews, or your friends' children. I think I will be making quite a few of these this year. They are so simple to make. Join us on Sunday to learn how to make it. You will be supporting the Relay for Life... a great cause!

Thanks for stopping by!

My boys.....

CRACK ME UP! Yes, I just sat down to type this post and my little man Kaleb decides to walk around the house in my heels.... talk about funny looking - and cute. My husband isnt so fond of it though. Ok back to the post. This is the card we will be making at my downline meeting on April 7th. well, maybe I should say my upline meeting as my upline is the one having it. either way, we have been taking turns coming up with the make n take for the meetings. I love the meetings, they are soo much fun. We talk about all the important business stuff, then we spend the rest of the time stamping! Its really great. You - Yea you reading this- should join our team, now is the perfect time to do so. You get 15% off of the starter kit-which is customizable- you get a free stamp set of your choice, and if you dont have all the money right now, you have the option to make it in 3 payments. Check out the post a couple down for more details.

Back to the card... I used one of the New sets from the occassions mini -available to customers in April- called Great Friend. I LOVE that set. Thats another thing I love about being a demo. You get to preorder stuff before its available to anyone else. I used the Parisian Breeze specialty paper- my other new love. Its textured--which is AWESOME! I added a white scalloped edge paper under my dsp layer. Adhered it all to a Baja matte which is layered on a chocolate chip base. The butterfly has glitter on it, thats why it looks all funny in this picture. Its the way the light is hitting it. It looks better in person.

So, DONT FORGET, sign up to be a demo before the end of SAB and take advantage of all the great deals! If you've ever thought about signing up, NOW is the time to do it!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hope you enjoyed the card!

Scrap page

I know, this is a terrible picture. I always take my pictures in the window because its the best light. Well, the shadows on the choco chip are the spots on my window from my dogs nose... She enjoys looking out the windows. And well, the bar, I have those windows that have the ilnes to kinda divide it into rectangles... I dont know what they are called, hope it makes sense. Either way, This is the layout we will be doing at Shanuns open house. It's in May but we are trying to be as prepared as we possibly can. Its a fairly simple page as we dont know the level of experience of anyone coming. I used the Parisian Breeze DSP--I just love that paper!-- and I used the big shot to make the butterflies. I LOVE the butterfly die. Though it has made me lazy. I have all these stamp sets with butterflies in them that I never use cause Im to lazy to cut them out when I can just have the Bigshot do it for me. I also used the oh so fabulous corduroy (sp) buttons. I LOVE those too... so much that I hate to use them. I also used half back pearls on the butterflies for a body. I dont know if you can see them in the picture or not. But I LOVE how they look. My new favorite embellishment

Let me know what ya think of the page. I could use some constructive critisism

Enjoy the gorgeous Day

3rd project

Here is the third project we will be making at my class on the 29th. It is a treat bag using the the top note die for the big shot. I was totally inspired, again, from my upline Angie. She is so very talented and has a TON of great ideas! If you dont have the big shot, you need to get one. I dont know how I lived without this top note die. I use it for EVERYTHING! There are so many different projects you can make with it, is Amazing! So there it is, if you scroll down a few you will be able to see the other two projects I already posted that we will be making. In case you forgot, its March 29th at 2:00 in turners at my apartment. Proceeds will be donated to the Franklin County Relay for Life. Please RSVP asap so I can be sure to have materials ready for everyone. Please bring your own adhesive for those of you planning on attending.

Hope you like it. I will be posting the other two projects either late today or hopefully tomorrow. Thanks for stoppin by!

My Favorite thing about SU Markers....

My Favorite thing about Stampin' UPs stampin write markers is that they are easily washed off of walls and children. Yes, they are FABULOUS for stamping and making your images colorful, and well my kids think they help make my walls not so blah... Thats right. I have been scrubbing my floors and walls getting all the red out. I dozed off on the couch cause I was up half the night with my 2yr old. When I woke up, I saw this lovely face peak from around the stairs. I went up the stairs to find red marker EVERYWHERE! I should have taken pictures for you, but I didnt think about it until I was done cleaning it all. Thankfully the marker comes off with some water, you dont even have to really scrub it if you do it right away. Well thats all for now, if I get a chance later I will post a stamping related project, for now, im going to try not to strangle my boys.

Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy this beautiful day!

My Charger comes today!

Yep, Thats right! My battery charger for my camera is supposed to be here today! I have done a lot of stuff (well compared to what I usually do) and have plenty to post! I just havent been able to take pictures of it. Now i will be able to so expect to see some posts over the next few days! My husband will be thankful its here. He doesnt know that ive been using my cell phone to take pictures and send them to my sil. Once he finds out how much our bill is, he will really appreciate me having a camera battery.

Just a Reminder... There are only 11 days left of SAB so get those orders in now. Dont forget you can shop online through my website www.laurafiske.stampinup.net and get your sab products. I am also having a class on the 29th. The class fee is $5 and we will be making 5 projects. Proceeds will be donated to the relay for life! Call or email me to RSVP!

Have a great day! Hope you stop back later to see some new stuff.

3 easy payments....

Stampin' Up has made signing up to be a demonstrator even easier. Not only do you get a 15% discount and your choice of any stamp set from the catalog when you sign up during sale-a-bration, you now can pay for your starter kit ove 3 months. You can't sign up online if you want the payment plan, you have to fill out paper work and send it in. In order to get the 15% discount, SU has to receive your paper work by March 31st (not post marked by then, received by then). So heres how it looks.

This is how your payment plan would work if they recieve your sign up sheet before march 31st. This again allows you to take advantage of the 15% discount as well as receive a stamp set with a value up to 47.95 for free.

This is how it would work if you wait until April to sign up to be a demo. You dont get the 15% discount or the free stamp set. So, if doable, I would recommend signing up during SAB as that is the better deal! Contact me ASAP with any questions or to get your paperwork started and sent in.

If you want to add the Stampin' Memories add on, you will pay the $50 with your first payment. This offer is available for a limited time and ends April 30th, so take advantage now. Ive never seen a promotion this good before.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!
