Scrapbook weekend and marker club cards

Hi everyone. I'm so excited to announce that I had two ladies join Stampin' Up! They are both so wonderful and I know that whatever they decide to do with their Stampin' Up! business they'll be successful at.

In fact I know that Christy will do well because she is so creative! Look at these cute cards that she helped design for the marker club. I love the alligator card. Very unique and original.



I really like this flower card too and how she slanted the image at an angle.


I still need to reschedule the marker club for the two ladies that couldn't make it on Thursday. I was thinking a day class would be good.

Here's what I did all weekend. I scrapbooked with Carla at Camp Baldwin. I only made 5 pages but I did win the layout contest. Here's two of the pages. I hope you like them. I'm using the designer series paper called Rockabilly Specialty. The pages have some shiny parts to them. I love it! I think I'll have to order more than two packs to finish my scrapbook with it. But so worth it! It's only $11.95.



I'm also using the Top Note for the Big Shot. Great deal on that kit as well. Most people I know haven't taken their cricuts out of the box. WIth the big shot there is no set up. Just open it up and start cranking. Plus you don't need to have electricity. You can take it anywhere with you. Even camping. LOL. Nothing complicated about it either. Just sandwich the paper and make cute shapes and letters.

I love my stamps and Big Shot dies. I hope you enjoy seeing my creations.








Happy Stampin'!

Fall SUO Challenge

Image
Okay here's my card for the SUO challenge. I hope I get in the top three but I have some stiff competition. I used the stamp set Just Believe and the hostess set Punch Potpourri. Paper: Cajun Craze, Peach Parfait, Soft Suede, Whisper White and packing paper Ink: Cajun Craze marker, Soft Suede marker, Peach Parfait Ink Pad. Accessories: Hemp Twine, Two Step Bird Punch, Scallop Square Extra-Large Punch, Top Note Die and Pearl jewels Pretty cool huh? I thought it came out good. I wanted to add a saying on the card and started by making a scallop sqare with a circle in the middle with the word "freind" in th center. I tried placing it all over this card but didn't like how big it was and took up too much of the card. So then I ended up making a 3 x 3 card for it to go on. Lookie: If you are wondering how we have two sizes of the scallop square I have to admit that we only have one size. But come back tomorrow and I'll show you how I did it. They look great t...

Paper Pumpkin Kit - Father's Day!

Image
I love surprises! My Paper Pumpkin is my monthly surprise that I give myself. Every month my red box shows up in the mail and I can't wait to open it and see what's inside. May's kit didn't disappoint. I love the amazing designs, colors, embellishments, stamps, ink, envelopes and printed paper. I admit that a few of the past Paper Pumpkins left me wondering what was going on with this kit. It's suppose to be a showcase of Stampin' Up! products. A few of the past kits made me think they were running to a Big Box store for supplies. So I wrote to Stampin' Up! about my concerns and they listened. I have to say I'm so impressed now with this subscription that I feel it's worth more than the $19.95 that it costs. I look forward to every month and seeing the amazing product that it includes. One thing they improved most on was the quality of paper. I now feel this is something that is worthy of the Stampin' Up! name. Envelopes and cardstock ar...

Punch art crazy!

Image
Okay I just had to share this card with everyone. I'm very proud of it. It took me forever to figure out how to do some of the shapes but I finally did it. This card was for my friend's husband who turned 40 today. He is a serious cyclist. Every weekend he does 60-120 miles on his bike. I'm lucky if I ride my bike around the loop. I remembered seeing a punch art of a cyclist on a blog and since I don't have a stamp of a bike or anything close to it I decided to do punch art. I found the website (click here if you want to see it) with the image and did my best to copy it. I changed the colors to make it personal. Everyone was impressed by the card. I have to say that I rather make that card than ride 60 miles on a bike but I think I'll just look at the picture if I ever want to see it again. LOL. Here's the card: I will not go into details but if you want to know how I did it let me know and I'll try to talk you through it. LOL. Here's another swap ...
