Vacation project

While I was on "vacation" from club, we each brought a project for all of us to do. We ended up with 4 different projects! It was great! I loved to see how these ladies handled the situation! I am thinking of doing this every month with them!

Here's mine: I adapted it from a project I made a month or so ago! Believe it or not, the colors are Summer Sun, Tempting Turquoise and Whisper White. The stamp set used was SUPPOSED to be Medallion but I left it home. I used Circle Circus instead during the demonstration :(

I, of course, covered it up by saying, "See you too can be a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator!" The funny thing was, they all were demonstrators! They all signed under me :) So then I quickly thought and said, "Oh... and you all are already! Fabulous!" This project is so quick and fun! The gift card fits perfectly! You can change the paper, colors and more! It's awesome! Can't wait to do one for Christmas!

Diva Night

I love to spoil my hostesses! Every six months, I throw a party for those fabulous ladies that help me to grow my business. This FREE event is something that I do as a Thank You. They have guests come to their home, they prepare a light snack, they probably clean their house, and they have me come in and mess it all up! LOL!! I am totally kidding but... I so appreciate those women that do that work for me (and themselves)!

I usually spoil them with free product, a homemade meal, and of course, we stamp! This is one of the 4 projects that was prepared for them to do! These nugget tins (as I like to call them) are so versatile. Coming soon you will see yet another use for them :)

If you want to be a Diva, all you have to do is contact me! Let me spoil you in December! You are sooooo worth it!

This tin was inspired by the Demonstrator Magazine, Stampin' Success. They have this beautiful layout of wedding invitations. This magazine has been inspiring my month :) Did you know that Stampin' Up! is running an awesome special this month? Sign up for $85 and you get all the In-Colors and a stamp set? OMG! To die for!! Contact me for more details!

Pull, Push, Twist, Smush

*laughing* Yes, that's the technique I am planning on teaching my stamping friends next month... I have two great workshops coming up soon and I will be showing off the Pull, Push, Twist, Smush box. PPTS is actually a lot of fun to put together but slightly time consuming. This is NOT the colors I will showing off though... I haven't decided on those yet. LOL

Imagine this box filled with some chocolate goodies... maybe a stamp and Stampin' Spot inside. Maybe a piece of jewelry would work too!

This color combo was a color challenge - Crushed Curry, Bermuda Bay, Soft Suede and... I guess it's Whisper White.. I can't remember now. Oh Well! Anyway, give it a try! It's fun!

Fancy....

I can just hear my little one's saying, "Fancy" as they put the pinkies in the air and imitate Spongebob Squarepants. *giggles*...

I took the ideas and color combination (Blush Blossom, Chocolate Chip and Very Vanilla) from this coming month's Stampin' Success, a Stampin' Up! publication for Demonstrators only! I have thoroughly enjoyed this rich looking combo and put my own spin on it. I can see this at a formal dinner, a wedding, a birthday party... oh just about anywhere!

For my next trick, I am going to do a box just for someone who posted to my Facebook site... Chocolate Chip and Bashful Blue...... ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! yes!

Stampin' Up! has truly out done themselves

I love Stampin' Up! The NEW catalog is just amazing! If you need a copy, let me know! I can hook you up!

I was making samples last month with the stamps in the pre-order for demonstrators. I didn't want to post many of them, yet. Now, I can! WOO HOO!!

Here is a card that I made for a color challenge. It's a stamp set called Razzle Dazzle. The color challenge was Soft Suede, Ruby Red, Blush Blossom and Very Vanilla. Give it a try and see what you come up with! It was a lot of fun!

Petal Pizazz

Last month, I had to make some cards. I wanted them to be simple and elegant. Well, I have to say that I am VERY pleased with this card. It's probably my favorite in a while.

This card uses two stamp sets, "Petal Pizazz" and "Sweet Serendipity" For accessories: Build-A-Brads and the Scallop Border and Scallop Circle Punches. WOW! Simple... and sweet.

Enjoy!

We Got Skeeters!!! RUN!!!

I made this card a long time ago and forgot to post it! I don't know what I was thinking... Oh that's right... I wasn't thinking. hehe. At any rate, I just adore this set, "Under the Stars." I can't wait to make a movement card with this bear!

What makes me smile when I look at this card is that I have a story to go with the card! The bear is putting Skeeter Spray on his armpits... notice the dark patches under his arms? Ah, but where did the Skeeter land? On the top of his arm, where the bear didn't put the spray... The bear is saying... GRRRRRREAT because he forgot to spray EVERYWHERE...

Dang, that was a long story! LOL!! A very fun card to make though. Stay tuned for the movement card where the Bear Flies with the Skeeters!
