Family Frame

I made this frame a couple of days ago using all stampin' up materials. It was very easy to make. I am going to showcase pictures of my children around this frame.

November Scrapbook Club

This is what the November scrapbook club will be making tonight. I love the Fall Flairs stamp set and the Autumn Vine Paper. Gorgeous!

Calling all card makers!

Just wanted to let you all know that I am starting a new card club in January and I have spaces to fill. If you love to make cards, want to build up your stampin' supplies, or just want some free stuff, let me know! I would love to have you in the club. You can leave a post with your name or give me a call! Minimum monthly purchase of $20. Every month at club you will get to make two cards for free and eat some yummy snacks too! You also get a free stampin' up catalog for joining. Sweetness I know!

My New Blog Background

I love my new blog background done by my awesome friend Julie. She rocks. Her and my other rockin' friend nicole make free and customized blog backgrounds. Check the link out on my sidebar for LeeLou Blogs. All this week there are tons of giveaways including some stampin' up stuff on the 29th. Don't miss it!

Cute Bags!

Just had to show you the cute bags I learned how to make out of stampin' up designer series papers. It's double sided so it's cute on the outside and on the inside. Perfect gift bags!

Christmas Cards!

Here are the Christmas cards that I will be doing on Nov. 13th and 14th.

These ones have numbers, so if you want all of one kind or something, just tell me the number and how many you want. All cards are a dollar. Will only do in increments of five. Sign up quick!

September 10 for 10

So here you go. The pictures aren't great, but here are the cards for the 10 for 10. The blue card will have different colored paper but the same style. Same with the "Note of Love." I will be using paper from the new catalog which I have not received yet. Those cards will be redone as soon as I get the new paper, but like I said, the design of the card will stay the same.

And the winner is....

First place goes to Jaime Olsen! Congrats Jaime. Even the guys picked yours as first place!

Second place goes to Jean Barleen. It was a very close race. Jean will receive 10% off her next stampin' up purchase!

We had so much fun on the card contest nights! The ladies got to make and design their own cards using my supplies. Each person submitted one of their favorite cards to be judged. Whoever won, would receive a $15 gift card to stampin up! We giggled, we laughed, some of us had gas, and we ate strawberry pizza (yum! yum!) So, I took the cards to over to medford for my sister-in-laws to judge and they just could not decide between two cards so I made the men break the tie. Oddly enough, they chose the pink card. The winning cards will be posted shortly. Congratulations to Jaime Olsen for winning first place and second place goes to Jean Barleen. Jean will receive 10% off her next stampin' up order! Can't wait to have another night like this again!

Card Candy!

There are 20 pieces in the card candy kit. This is similar to what they will look like.
This is an example of a finished product, ready for gift giving!
Here is an example of how someone would use a piece from the card candy kit. You just take a plain cardstock card, add one patterned layer to the paper and then a piece of card candy and wah lah! A beautiful handmade card. This is a great christmas, birthday or just because gift. Sign up for this project, which is happening on August 20th at 7pm, by calling me, emailing me, or leaving me a post!

Scrapbook layout pages

Here are just a few scrapbook layouts that I used at my last layout class. It was a lot of fun!

Card Organizer Book

Front cover
Example of inside pages
Top View
This is a card organizer. Inside each page is a pocket and a calendar. You can write in all the important dates to remember on your calendar and then put cards for those people in the envelopes. Great to keep for yourself or to give as a gift. Look for this during project party days!

Magnet Tin

The pictures aren't great, but this is another project that will be featured at my project party days. You get to decorate the tin using paper and accessories from the new winter catalog and then decorate your magnets to match! Great gift, simple to make, sooo cute!

Photo Frame Fun

Just a fun idea for ways that you can use your stampin' up stuff! Great for wedding gifts.

Family Scrapbook Tin

This is another project that we will be doing in October during the project party days! This is a tin with an accordion scrapbook inside. You can use it to set on a table or put magnets on the back and use it as a refrigerator scrapbook. I had so much fun making it I want to a hundred more. I definitely think that this is one of the things on my list to give to friends and family for christmas!

FAMILY HOME EVENING CAN

So here is my one of my latest projects that I put together. It is a Family Home Evening Can. The outside is decorated with stampin' up Bella Rose Designer Paper with embellishments from the pretties kit. Inside are lots and lots of family home evening ideas including the topic, scripture references and questions for discussion. So everytime you get ready for family night just pull out a strip of paper! Wahlah! Easy and fast. My favorite kind. I am also going to make Family Fun Idea Cans (FFI) with strips of paper that have something fun and simple to do as a family. Great Christmas Gifts. Keep this in mind. I will be doing a Super Saturday in a month or so featuring four different projects to do. This is going to be one of them. If you know you are interested, post a comment and I will get you on my list.

Stampin UP Time!

Well, this is my first time blogging and I can't wait for my friend Julie to make this page look stampin' up CRAZY! This is all trial and error for me, but as soon as I figure it all out this should be a pretty sweet blog. Check back often for all my latest stampin up news!
