Valentine's Countdown - Day 1

I used these M&M sleeves for my Open House treats! Too much fun!!

(used the heart from Sweetheart WOTG and words from Sweet Baby stamps set)

Mark your calendars!!! There will be give aways and product displays...food and friends...did I mention PRIZES?!?!? Invite your friends!!! Earn extra chances for prizes by: booking a home gathering, bringing friends, purchasing product, making the project and more!!!

Croppin with Studio J!!

How can you not love getting layouts done in 1/2 hour? I LOVE this!! Even though I still prefer to scrapbook the old fashion way with lots of layers and tons of "do-dads"...I have to admit, it's nice to get so much done in so little time and still feel like you expressed yourself in your work.

New Home Gift

I was inspired by Jeannette Lyntons take on a haunted house using the "Around the Block" stamp set and made it into a New Home gift bag for my good friend Melissa. I don't think I have ever done sooo much paper piecing in my life! It was worth it though, because it turned out super cute and will hold a candle nicely.

Yesterday we celebrated my nephew's 14th birthday! I made a neat "pop up" gift card holder for him (since that's all you can really get a 14 year old anymore!). Love you Nick!

January Stamp-a-palooza is almost here!!! We are starting the year off with a bang! January 20 & 21 at 6:30pm. You must RSVP!! I have given you some picture hints....excited? These are done using the January SOM (Find your Style D1452), Dreams Do Come True (D1470) and the new Wings paper! Right now you can get the Dreams stamp for only $18 (normally $22.95) when you buy the Wings WOTG! Details at class or email me!





Special thanks to Angela T. for your cool dress idea!

Christmas Gift Cards

I finally finished Christmas presents...yes, I know I'm a tad late, but thankfully my sisters still love me! (at least they say they do). I made these cool GC holders for my nephews and bookmarks for my sis and aunt.

Too Cool Dog!!

This picture of Penny just cracks us up! I caught her at just the right time. She loves the snow and does flips when you throw snow balls for her!

Back to Work!!!

Thank you all for being so patient while I wasn't feeling well. The holidays are over and it is time to get back to work. I took some time today to get creative with the January SOM and the Wings WOTG. These stamps are just beautiful.

Magic Layout #3

Yes, I know I'm late in getting this posted. I have been having camera issues and my hubby won't get the hint that I need a new one...

I'm still doing my honeymoon in Puerto Rico for the layouts. I did our trip to the Observatory - can you guess this was Rich's pick! lol It was actually very interesting. I used Emporium papers for the layout and Genuine Fun, Treetops and Classmate Alpha for the stamping.

October 26 Gift Workshop

I thought you might like a preview of one of the gifts you'll be making at the workshop. This candle is stamped with one of CTMH new Christmas stamp sets - "I believe". The other one is done with "Snow Days" and our glitter glue! Too Cute!!

Magic layout challenge week 2

This is the second layout in the Magic "How-To" book from CTMH. I had to rush because I forgot that I lent my book out and had to have another (thanks Pamela) send me pictures! I used the Unity and Fieldtrip stamp sets and Maginfique paper. Thanks for looking!

Magic Monday Layout #1- Parlor Trick

Even though these aren't the

best photos, the layouts turned

out very cool. I love the idea of

getting my pictures cropped and

trying out all of the layouts in

the Magic book!

Fun With Flowers

This months workshop has been one I have been wanting to do for so long! We will be having it on August 31 @ 6pm. If you would like to join us, please email me right away for information. I've taking a picture of only a sampling of the flowers we will be making.

Fair Fun!

The kids did really well showing their goats this week! We had our last show last night and we are all exhausted!
Grampy helped them hang all their ribbons on the "girls" pen.

August Stamp-a-palooza!!

I'm posting before class - it might just snow!! We are doing chalk-popping tonight and making a lil' post-it not holder with wings! Can't wait!!

Box of Note Cards

My wonderful Aunt Jess loves to send out cards....me on the other hand love to make them, then forget to send them. I thought she might like this box of notecards. I used Treasure Life stamp set, some Perfect Day B&T and assorted cardstock.

Animal Cookies Baby Album

I made this adorable 6x6 accordian album for my dear friend Sam and her new baby - Chase!

Dry Erase Workshop

What a fun time we had making the dry erase boards! The best part was - everyone did their own thing! We all helped eachother with ideas and color choices, which made the night a fun girls night! Didn't they do a great job?!?

Lil' gift bag - for any occasion!

Did you ever need a gift bag and didn't have one? This little

bag was made out of some cardstock (heavenly blue), some B&T (splendor), ribbon...OH - and paper lunch sack! The girls at my July workshop each got one with some treats inside! Hmmm...future workshop project - Come and see!
