Mission Accomplished

Hey...long time no post:) I finally finished my projects for the Stampin' Up competition!!! My box arrived in Utah this morning (a day before the deadline!!!). I'm happy to have achieved my goal of completion, but now I'm really nervous about all the Stampin' Up people judging my projects! I wish I could get a report card or something to tell me what the judges thought of what I sent, but unless I win, I won't hear anything. I just had to share my news with all of you! (Not many people would understand what a big deal this is.)

I'm planning some fun classes for April and May. I hope to see you all soon:) Let me know if there's something you'd like to learn. I'm always open to suggestions.

PS I've been cleaning out my stamp area, so I've got lots more stamps that need a new home. I'll be sure to have them out at my next class.

My order arrived this week with all my Spring Mini goodies & boy, have I had fun. I have some more on the way, but I couldn't wait to show you this notebook I made. This is the 5x5 on board journal covered with the Notations paper. It's not even done yet, but I love it! I'm going to use it to jot down things the boys say and little things that will be fun to read later. I made the tabs on the side with the new tab punch for each boy. I added pages using the spiral punch. The journal only comes with 20 pages (the mini says 50, but that was a type-o). Some of the pages I added are colored cardstock that coordinates with the Notations paper. All you have to do, is pull the spiral binding apart and take of the covers to add pages. The possibilities are endless!!


I'm still working away on my competition projects. I only have 2 weeks left to finish them and get the whole package to Utah. As long as no one else gets sick, I should be able to finish up. Have a great week!
