Central Park Tutorial

So far, Central Park is my favorite class. I love the bright colors and Basic Black. They just pop!! If you look back over this month, you will see the "sneak peek" of the cards!

With this 12-page Tutorial, you create a Messenger bag that holds both cards and envelopes! A paper/accessories kit will be available soon on my other website. http://www.mamaschroeg.com

A Trip to the Art Gallery

Here is a great class! This is, "A Trip to the Art Gallery." This fabulous class includes a 16 Page PDF with detailed instructions on construction of the box - which very DIFFERENT than it looks. I will be adding an option for the Kit shortly on my other website, if you are interested in purchasing the Kit (The kit includes all paper and accessories - pre-cut and packaged for your convenience.)

Just so you know, I will be releasing, "A Trip to Central Park," later this month. I ... umm... totally forgot to release this one last month! LOL! July will bring, "A Trip to Paradise!" I can't wait!

Scrap Club Layout

In Scrap Club we explored using different patterns of DSP (Designer Series Paper) on one page. This layout was created using the colors out of Good Morning Sunshine DSP.

This layout is OUT of my comfort zone as I like more subdued colors. This is bold and in your face. Which, if you know me, IS my personality style but NOT my scrapbooking style.

Anyway, we used a combination of Chunky Glitter and Fine Glitter on the heart. You may not be able to tell but there is a very cool dual tone effect going on here.

Sneak Peek of a New Class

Hey, what are you doing this Thursday? I have a class to knock your socks off!

Well, as many of you know, I have been doing a collaboration series called, "A Trip..." This is an on-going series of fun boxes and beautiful cards. In this next one, "A Trip to Central Park." We made a box to look like a messenger bag and filled them with four fun cards & envelopes.

This class is limited to the next 4 people as the Fashion District Rub-ons (part of the class fee) is sold out and I only purchased 4 sets! *sniff sniff*

Mourning/Celebrating the Loss

While I am super-excited by the new catalog and products. It's time to mourn the loss of some of my favorite sets. What better way to do that than to stamp with them one last time before they leave!!

Yesterday, Donna (one of my success-line) and I planned her 1st workshop! It's Father's Day themed. Here is a 6 x 6 scrapbook page done with one of my ALL TIME favorite Alphabet sets, Big Deal Alphabet! This is the "pumped-up" version. We added a few accessories to it (colored hardware) and a few techniques (sponging) to it and it really makes it pop.

To show some versatility, we folded the scrapbook page in half, removing the Chocolate Chip photo frame for those that don't scrapbook and might need an additional card for say a father-in-law, step-dad, etc. Basically the only thing that we added to the card was a little bit of hole-poking under the "ALL-STAR" and some sponging around the entire card.

Good Luck, Donna! Knock their socks off!!

Sneak Peek

After looking at the new catalog for at least 2 1/2 hours today, this insane feeling came over me and just said, "Go play with your new toys!"

I obeyed. Now, this card is VERY simple. I wanted to use the new magnetic inserts for our Curly Label Big Shot Die. I also wanted to use the NEW punch, Modern Label. I also don't have any new stamps other than Lots of Bots. So I didn't have any sentiments. What is a girl to do?

She breaks out her new Level 3 Hostess Kit! It comes with DSP (which is the bunch of flowers), new rub ons and stamp sets. The Kit is called Lovely Lines. WOW was this fun to play with. I can't wait to keep playing.

Here are two of the new In-Colors too. Rich Razzleberry is the darker. Melon Mambo is the lighter and the ribbon :) I imagined this card as giving a friend, Karen came to mind, a bunch of flowers. While I still think it needs something... I wanted to post something!

I also made a box. I will post that later! I can't wait to show you!

The Retired List is out! Stay Tuned!

While Stampin' Up! updates their website, I will post the retired accessories. I have no control over what will sell out and what won't. You are better off buying what you want right away on my web site. These accessories WILL sell out fast! See the bottom of the page for details (For some reason, Blogger doesn't like my HTML code)
