May Class

I can't wait for this class! I know you all will enjoy making this very cool little gift item! You could make one for a friend, and she'd have 4 handmade birthday cards to give away. (or keep if she just can't part with it:)

Here are the pics...(courtesy of Andrea Walford-creator of this adorable project)

February Card Class

These are the cards we made at Sally's house in February. I took these pictures, and then forgot to post them! Anyway, better late than never, right??? The bottom card uses the crayon resist technique, if you'd like more info on how we made them, let me know and I can get directions emailed to you. My next class is April 5th...let me know if you'd like to come:)

Scrapbook Page

I really have been stamping, I just keep forgetting to update my blog with what's going on:) Here is a 2 page layout I did of Sparkie & Shadow's first meeting. I found some paper on sale at JoAnn's that I loved, so this is what I did with it. Dog pictures are always fun to scrap!

My Mini-Planner

I found this cool planner idea online through a homeschool website. This mom made these cool templates for 3x5 cards so that you can customize what kind of planner pages etc. you want and just print what you need. It's been very handy to have my store coupons, calendar, to do lists, & shopping lists with me. Anyway...the only thing I could find to hold my 3x5 pages was this ugly navy blue plastic binder. It was just begging me to make it pretty!! So...this is what I came up with.

Christmas Scrapbook

I made scrapbooks for my boys' Grandma's for Christmas again. I'm afraid I've started something that I can't quit now:) These picture are of my favorite layout from this year's book. You can see my copy of the entire book at my next class!

New Catalog

Happy New Year...and Happy New Catalog!

I only have one word for this catalog! WOW! I was sceptical about all this change with going to two catalogs a year. Retiring soooo many of my favorite stamp sets, etc. But, once again, Stampin' Up does know what they are doing. I think this might be my favorite catalog ever. (Do I say that every time???) I'm including a couple of pictures you might find interesting. The whole catalog is online at http://www.stampinup.com. I love the color combinations they have used this time!
