Last Day to Sign-Up for $75

Here is a page we did this month in Scrap Club. It uses the FABULOUS new Alphabet set, Jumble. It's 20% tonight until about 11:50 PM! WOWsers! We also used the Big Shot for the flowers using the newer embosslets. It adds so much to add a little sponging in the center and around the edges. I LOVE IT!!

Also, this is the last day to get the 3 packs of DSP and textured Card Stock buy 1 get 1 free!! Take advantage while the getting is good!!

If you have been on the fence about signing up, now's your last chance! You will NEVER see a $75 again!

Cruise Update

I am $4,765 away from making the cruise! Yikes. I am so nervous and excited it's not even funny. Some of my downline have recruited too... WOW!! Lisa has signed up 1 so far but has 3 more in the wings. Noreen has recruited 1 so far! This month has been just awesome!!

This month's special, which you still have time to get in on, is so unbelievable! $75 to start getting a 20% off discount? You would be crazy not to sign up! You have NOTHING to lose! If you place an order within the first 45 days, you can get a 30% off discount!! 30% off the Big Shot?? Think about!

Busy Week!

I wanted to give a shout out to those ladies that have signed up under me! Four have signed up this week so far! WOWsers! Ladies, thank you! You made a great decision!

With the $75 Scrapbooking special going on right now, it's never been easier to start getting a discount on the products you know and love! If you are interested in signing up, contact me NOW! This special is only good until the 31st of May! We will probably NEVER see this type of special again! Get in on it now!

Father's Day

I made a Father's Day card recently for a SWAP here in Colorado Springs. I wanted to share it with you! This is a great card idea for the avid reader. This side to the right, is actually perforated. It tears off and becomes a book mark! Do you have the Cutter Kit from Stampin' Up!? My favorite tool on this set of tools is the what we call the "7 finger nails" tool. It's actually distresses paper. However, I wanted to use some of the other tools to show why you NEED this tool!

Other ideas for the paper perforater? Coupon books! What else do you do with your Crafter's Tool Kit? I would love to hear from you!

I used two different stamp sets out of the Mini Occasions Catalog. I also incorporated the new Jumbo Grommets! This card was fun to make!

Ever have one of those weeks?

I have to apologize. This is my busiest time of the month! I had plans for last week and they went completely out the window... but I am one of those people that rolls with the punches! I have lots to share this week. So, here's a project that I saw online and decided to re-create my own way. I am not the type to "buy" box templates so I figured out stuff on my own and I have changed a few things since making this box.

The front box will be a bit smaller to fit Stampin' Up!'s medium cello bags (which I filled with those super sugary candy pieces for the top of cupcakes or regular cakes). The inside has tubes for jimmies (or sprinkles or whatever you like). Basically, this is a birthday cake tote! I love this idea!

June 16th, you can do this class at my house. If you are interested in taking this class to go, contact me! We can do just the instructions or have a kit with cut paper and instructions!

Mother's Day

Wow... what a great day yesterday was for me. It was just us. Just the family, kicking it at home, doing what we wanted, eating when we wanted, it was relaxing! Well, now, I have got to get back to work. I have a cruise to earn!

If you look to the left of my blog. I am keeping a visual goal on my blog of what I need to achieve the cruise. I have two clubs this week so you will see this number shoot up. I could use your help though!

I am featuring a kit this week called, "More Thoughts." This is an all-in-one kit that comes with LOTS of supplies to create handmade cards! The cards are pre-folded, it comes with envelopes, a stamp set, chipboard, adhesive, ink spots, the list goes on and on! I love this kit. Later, I will post a card I have created with this kit.

If you purchase this kit, I will give you a free gift! You can choose from any of my retired stamp sets, Sale-a-bration stamp sets or other free goodies! I love tons to choose from!

Another Fun Layout

This Simply Scrappin' Kit, Sunshine Garden, has so much potential! Here is another layout using the same sheet of DSP (Designer Series Paper) from the kit and the same sheet of Die-Cut Stickers! WOW!! Hold on to yourself, I have one more layout to show you as well! In that layout, I finished the sheet of DSP and used the same sheet of Die-Cut Stickers BUT didn't finish them yet!! I still have more stickers left! WOW!!

If you are looking to get into scrapbooking, feel free to contact me. I can show you so many different ways to do it! Don't forget to take advantage of the great 3 for 1 special that Stampin' Up! is having! Buy 3 packs of 12 x 12 (a common size for Scrapbooking) Textured paper or 3 packs DSP and get 1 FREE!! WOO HOO!! Thank you, Stampin' Up! See my website for complete details! http://mamaschroeg.stampinup.net

May is National Scrapbooking Month!

I can tell you that my roots are deep in scrapbooking. I have always felt not only the creativity towards it but the NEED to do it for my children. It is their legacy that I am capturing on film (ok, in this day and age it's not film anymore it's digital) and with words.

Here is a layout that I did with my Scrap Club this month. This uses the Simply Scrappin' Kit, Sunshine Garden! I actually made three layouts using 1 sheet of the Designer Paper that comes in the kit AND 1 sheet of the "sticker die-cuts" in the kit. Something else you will find on the page is our Hodgepodge Hardware. Have you ever tried to "dye" these pieces? WOW!! It's a stunning addition to this page.
