STAMP NOW!!!

Clubs resume this week!

2011-08-08T11:17:00.000-07:00

Are you 'in'?
Joining a club is simple and a great way to learn new techniques, make new friends, get hostess benefits and best of all - get the items on your wish list without breaking the bank!
You commit to purchase $30 (minimum) each month of whatever you want from the catalogs for 5 months (this club runs from August through January; no club in December). We will draw names to assign each member a month to host. When you host, you will get the credit for that month's club purchases and access to exclusive hostess items in the catalog!

Sound like something you want to do? Did I mention we learn a new technique each month? We even have these great rings to collect the techniques on!

If you're interested, just send me an email rebecca.jung@comcast.net even if you are out-of-state, you could be a part of the club.

Hope you have a wonderful week! Just remember to Inspire. Create. Share.

Bow Boutique... take two! =)

2011-08-07T11:12:00.000-07:00

Did you miss out on my bow-tying class? Never fear! By popular demand, I will be offering it one more time! I am still working out the date and time, but here's a picture to pique your interest!

August Stamp-a-Stack

2011-08-06T10:34:00.001-07:00

Had a great time last night with some fabulous stampers. I even got to meet Lisa's mom, Carol! Here are some pictures of the cards we made. A little disclaimer before you look further... I wanted to highlight the new Idea Book & Catalog so I took my inspiration directly from those pages! It is so nice to have a resource from which to gather great card-making ideas without spending hours designing. Can you find the original cards in the catalog?
What? you don't have a catalog yet? Just let me know and I can get one to you! =)

This first card uses the "Three Little Words" stamp set. It comes with 6 options for your three little words, so it is a very versatile set. (just one of the reasons I love Stampin' Up!) I used Perfect Plum, Rich Razzleberry and Very Vanilla card stock. We used markers to ink the stamps: Perfect Plum, Soft Suede, Rich Razzleberry & Old Olive. Also used were the Vintage Wallpaper Textured Impression Folder and the Scallop Trim Border punch.

We even used the new spinners! The coordinating stamps set has 4 different options: Friendship, Congratulations, Birthday, or "choose the holiday". We used the Friend one. Stamped with Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip and Wild Wasabi ink. I used whisper White, Pool Party, Chocolate Chip, and Wild Wasabi card stock. Also used: Curly Label and 2 1/2" Circle punches, 1/2" Scallop Dots Ribbon.

I just had to share the new "It's a Wrap Occasions" stamp set! Seven different occasions to wrap around some yummy chocolate! With school about to resume, I thought it would be fun to make a gift for teachers. I am sure my kiddo's teacher is going to appreciate a bit of chocolate to get her through the first few days! =)

I just had to try this card! The pinwheel was too cute to pass up!!! Once you figure out how to get the pinwheel done (trust me... this took me a little while, I am sad to admit!), this card is fairly simple! The textures and dimensions added just make it look much more difficult.
The stamp set for this set can be purchased with Hostess Dollars! It's a set of 11 stamps all for birthday wishes - 3 of which coordinate with our punches! I used Baja Breeze and Whisper White card stock, Birthday Cake Designer Series Paper, the Square Lattice Textured Impression Embossing folder, a Glimmer brad and lollipop stick.

If you like these cards, don't miss out on my next class... it's PMS (Pizza, Music & Stampin') Night! August 16th from 6-9pm. We will make 5 projects (I provide 3 choices from which to mix & match. They are simpler cards as we will be eating and visiting, too). Still only $15 for dinner and suppplies!

You can always look on my website: www.rebeccajung.stampinup.net for up-to-date classes and specials.

Recent Stamp-a-Stack Projects

2010-10-09T12:09:00.000-07:00

A "Spooky" Halloween treat bag! Made with the Fancy Favor Die, Spider Web Embossing Folder and Sizzix big Shot. the Ghost, and Pumpkin were made using the Owl, Bird on Branch and oval punches. Isn't it fun? I saw it posted by a fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator and had to try it!

ARRRRG, Matey! Build-a-Bear Workshop stamps by Stampin' Up! are SOOOOO much fun! I dressed up our already adorable bear for Halloween using the new stamps "Season of Hugs" in the Holiday Mini. The colors are the new Concord Crush and Peach Parfait In-Colors.

Bitty Box and Envelope die turned into a Halloween treat box! the topper comes from the Sweet Centers stamp set.

The new French Foliage is quickly becoming a new favorite of mine! I saw this card done by a fellow demonstrator and had to share it! The colors are very "fall"; I used Elegant Eggplant, Cajun Craze and Pear Pizazz with very Vanilla.

This card uses my favorite pumpkin stamp set, Autumn Harvest, with the fantastic Presto Patterns Specialty Designer Series papers. Stamp and sponge on it and the pattern appears - this was the smaller "grid" pattern. Check out the catalog to see the other fun patterns included!

2010-06-16T19:17:00.000-07:00

Here's my friend, Ms. Debby! She is a serious stamper, ladies!

Thanks for taking a peek! Hope to see you all at our upcoming events!

Big Shot Works Wonders with fabric!

2010-04-12T06:00:00.000-07:00

Look at the pretty flower pin I made! My talented downline (a demonstrator on my team) guided us through this fun project at out last demonstrator meeting.

It is super simple! Just use the Stampin' Up! Flower Folds XL die for the Big Shot to cut 4 pieces of fabric, layer them and adhere them together. I sewed mine together, but you can also use a glue gun to put the layers together.

Once I wash this, it will take on a shabby-chic look. I'll be wearing this at Holland Happenings next weekend. Come check it out!

Two-Step into Spring!

2010-04-09T06:00:00.000-07:00

From April 1-30 you can purchase a stamp set that will
appear in the 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalog!

Awash with Flowers - a set of 18 stamps is available for $39.95 for Wood-Mounted or $27.95 for Clear-Mounted
OR... you can earn this set for FREE when you host a $350 or more workshop!

With the clear-mounted option, 2-step stampin' just got a whole lot easier! I stamped this card without using a stamp-a-ma-jig. The images are not meant to match up perfectly, so there is less stress about stamp placement.

In addition to this great set, 4 other stamp sets will be 20% off in the month of April: Greenhouse Garden (p. 94), Fifth Avenue Floral (p. 98), Flower Fancy (p. 101) and Trendy Trees (p. 112).

You will love the newest phrases. They will add to any home decor without any long-term commitment (ie. you can remove them when you are tired of them without ruining your walls). There are some new stencils, too.

Happy Easter!!!

2010-04-03T06:00:00.000-07:00

So usually we make an Easter Bunny cake... This year, Katy Decided she wanted an Easter Egg cake. So I started with a 9"X13" carrot cake, carved it to look something like an egg and handed the girls some candy and sprinkles...

That is a very colorful Easter Egg, if I do say so myself!

So I had to get a picture of the artists with their handiwork!

Happy Easter to each of you!

He is risen!

Advertise with the Big Shot and Vinyl!

2010-04-01T15:14:00.000-07:00

My dear friend wanted to promote the 24-7 Moms. com group that she write for. So when I told her that she could put the web address on her car, she thought that would be perfect! I used my Big shot, some of Stampin' up!'s great vinyl and my Sizzix alphabet and number dies... and Voila! We had instant advertising! I'll be posting my blog address to my car right after Easter (when I remove the snowflakes).

p.s. if you're a mom, no matter how old your children, go check out this blog site. Fantastic ideas and tips for everything from crafts to household chores to fun prize drawings! and it's FREE!!!

Stamp-a-Stack Cards (March 2010)

2010-03-24T10:50:00.000-07:00

Here are some cards that we made at this month's Stamp-a-Stack. Don't know what that is? Well, it is just as the name suggests - we stamp a stack of cards. I provide all supplies but the adhesive. I usually have 5 designed cards or projects each month for $15.

This first card is one of my recent favorites. I used the "faux silk" technique with the hostess set, "Asian Artistry". not a difficult card, but I think it is stunning (the photo really doesn't do it justice).

Next was an even simpler card - just a piece of DSP, some ribbon and a stamped sentiment. I used Chocolate Chip c/s, Sending Love DSP, 5/8" Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon, and "Well Scripted" with the wide oval punch.

This sweet butterfly card features the Beautiful Wings embosslit for the Sizzix Big Shot along with the new Scallop Trim border and corner punches. Once again, just a stamped sentiment and you're in business!

I "borrowed" the next card design from the Occasions Mini catalog. I changed up the colors and a few other elements. I used Sage Shadow, Bravo Burgundy and Pretty in Pink.

This was also from the Occasions Mini - page 5. It gave us a chance to use the water color wonder crayons with the blender pens.

I hold stamp-a-stacks each month on the first full weekend. The next one will be Easter Weekend. Friday the 2nd from 6:30pm-9pm and Saturday, April 3rd from 10am - noon.

2010-03-23T10:46:00.000-07:00

Here is a sweet Valentine set I designed. It was a simple box to hold 3X3 cards and a coordinating full-sized card. The full-sized card features the Heart treat cups and Sweetheart stamp set. The DSP is Tea Party.

2010-03-22T22:21:00.000-07:00

Valentine's Day 2010
We made good use of Stampin' Up's Valentines by baking some yummy sour cream cookies for Katy's classmates. She was so happy to be able to help out... I definitely have a future stamper on my hands.

Pizza, Music and Stampin'!

2009-10-21T13:16:00.001-07:00

OK, so we never did turn on the music, but the company and conversation was too good to interrupt!

Here are the three cards we made last night.

This first card uses stamps from the Lovely as a Tree stamp set. It dawned on me that I have never used this stamp - I usually use the pine tree and the stand of bare trees for winter projects.

For this card, we used the "thumping" technique. I inked the image in Crushed Curry, used my Stampin' Write marker on the trunk and thumped other colors over the leaf areas. The main colors are Soft Suede, Crushed Curry, Dusty Durango and Naturals Ivory.

This is a simple, yet elegant Christmas card. The template can be used for any occasion, though. Just use the eyelet scallop edge punch on a piece of Designer Series Paper, add some ribbon and a sentiment... Viola! There's a lovely, hand-made card.

Colors here are Night of Navy, Soft Suede and Shimmery White card stock. The Designer Paper comes from the Christmas Cocoa Specialty DSP featured in our Holiday Mini.

This final card pairs the colors featured in the Holiday Lounge DSP - Taken with Teal, Kraft and Real Red. We stamped the Merry Christmas from our Level 1 Hostess set (Holiday Best) in Craft Whisper White Ink and heat embossed it. Other products used are the Ticket Corner punch, Christmas Cocoa Specialty DSP and Whisper White Satin ribbon.

Quick, easy and doesn't take too long to assemble!

I hope you can join us for the next PMS (Pizza, Music & Stampin')Night: November 17th from 6-8 pm

Super-Duper Special Opportunity!

Have Fun Doing What You Love
From July 15 — August 31, you can join the Stampin' Up! family for as little as $85 with the Mini Starter Kit. Have fun helping friends and family create exciting projects, while earning free products and even a little extra cash!

This special starts today! Join my team and I will include the In Color Stampin' Write Markers to the deal! Learn more by visiting my website or contacting me via email or phone. Stampin' Up! offers a great way to get the products you love (at a discount), spend time with others who love to stamp (holding workshops), and making a few extra dollars while having fun (with in-home workshops, clubs, online ordering, and more).

There are so many levels to being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator. I signed up 3 years ago because I didn't want to pay full price for my stamps. I had done very little stamping prior to becoming a demonstrator (maybe later this week I'll post my first stamped Christmas card). Once I started playing with my stamps and papers and CASE-ing (Copy And Share Everything) the cards I saw online - I discovered a new passion... some might call it an addiction! I could make cards in a short amount of time and share them with others.

Then a funny thing happened... I discovered that my friends liked to stamp, too! So we started getting together, having parties and eventually started a club. One friend even decided right away that she should get a discount on her orders and signed up 3 months after me. Now here i sit, 3 fun-filled years later as a MANAGER with Stampin' Up! I have a great base of customers and an even greater groups of friends in my down line (those are people that signed up as demonstrators in connection to me).

So if you have ever considered this, let's chat and see if Stampin' Up! is the right fit for your needs.

Happy Stampin' and God Bless!

July Stamp-a-Stack Cards

This one uses the new and adorable Animal Stories & Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Sets, Chocolate Chip, Rose Red and Whisper White card stock and Tall Tales Designer Series Paper (DSP).
The giraffe is done with the "rock and roll" technique. First we stamped it with So Saffron, then rolled it on the Close to Cocoa pad. The words were stamped with Brilliant Blue, punched out with the small oval and placed behind some of our great Styled Silver Hodgepodge Hardware.
Simple, yet perfect for Baby Gifts or a child's birthday.

Simple Note Card Gifts

2009-06-29T08:00:00.000-07:00

Here are a few of the Note Card gifts I put together for Katy's teachers. I wanted to be sure I didn't add to their clutter, so I decided to give them cards they could use. I simply added some Designer Series Papers to the pre-scored Note Cards from Stampin' Up! (Item #107311, 20 cards with envelopes for $5.95).

I used different stamp sets for each. the blue ones in the center were stamped with the "Say it With Scallops" set (our Ronald McDonald House Charity stamp set for 2009) then punched them out with the Scallop Square Punch.

For the box base, I just measured the envelopes and added 2" to each side... the envelopes for the Note Cards measure 5 1/8" X 3 5/8", so I cut my coordinating c/s to 9-1/4" X 7-3/4". Then scored at 1" and 2" all the way around, clipped the corners and folded into a box (the sides are reinforced by the double folds to make them sturdier). Add a coordinating belly band and viola! you have a great gift! If you have any questions, I will be happy to clarify.

Thanks for looking!

Top Note Purses - Faux Alligator

2009-06-28T08:00:00.000-07:00

Aren't these adorable!!?!?
My upline, Lynda Glassmoyer, surprised me with a very thoughtful gift when I promoted to Manager. She sent me 3 fabulouse tutorials from Gretchen Barron.

Here are the Top Note purses I made from one of those tutorials. They are not too difficult once you master the Faux Alligator Skin Technique - after you use your Sizzix Big Shot and Top Note die with your chosen card stock, ink the entire surface with Versa Mark ink, and clear embossing powder. Use your bone folder or similar implement to drag wavy lines through the powder until it resembles the cracked surface of an alligator. Tap off the excess embossing powder and use your heat gun to set the embossing. The possibilities are endless... you can use this for more purses, belts, shoes, boots, or just a very cool background!

Here is a side view of the purses. they are just big enough to hold a gift card, lip gloss, or a few chocolates! Check out the tutorials offered by Gretchen and give it a try!

Fun S'more Kits!

2009-06-24T20:37:00.000-07:00

I have had a lot of fun making s'more kits for gifts! What a fun Summertime treat! These are the treats I made to thank Katy's teachers and staff at her school. I got lots of ooos and ahhhs (music to a stamper's ears!).

The first picture used Ivory Naturals, Real Red, and Chocolate Chip card stock. The stamp set is "Under the Stars" - I absolutely adore this set!

Here is the latest batch of S'more Treats! I switched up the colors a bit, but still used the "Under the Stars" stamp set from Stampin' Up! For these, I used Kraft, Bravo Burgundy, Handsome Hunter, Chocolate Chip, and Very Vanilla.

I even used the Skeeters wheel in the back of the topper.

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there!

Happy Father's Day!

I just wanted to take a moment and share a project I made last month. It was a fun gift for a friend. She and her husband celebrated their 30th anniversary by renewing their vows. It was a beautiful evening.

It was fun to go to the store and find the items I needed in matching Stampin' Up! Colors - and not hard, either! I set out with the idea of creating a wedding cake of towels for a money holder (figured it was a lot nicer than a card with cash or a gift card). So I found some comfy towels, ribbon that coordinates with SU! colors, a wedding cake photo topper (it was discounted a LOT and I used it in place of a card), and set it all atop a pizza pan. Viola! A special gift for a special couple.

Later this week, I will share some projects I made for the local Beachcomber's Bazaar. Happy Stampin'!

June Stamp-a-Stack

2009-06-05T18:10:00.000-07:00

Here are the cards we are making this weekend.

The first one uses Boatloads of Love and the bleaching teachnique. Then we used the Sticky Cuts and red chunky glitter. Then the Free & the Brave set for a patriotic card.

We Doodled a bit with some stylized hardware.

And I love the scallop note cards - perfect for a baby gift... and so easy, too!!! I hope you enjoy these. Let me know if you have any questions.

Happy Stampin'!

Happy Memorial Day!

2009-05-25T22:32:00.001-07:00

What better way to celebrate than to have friends over and share some great all-American food? I know this isn't stamping-related, but hope you don't mind this post.

While Memorial Day is a somber occasion, I choose to celebrate the lives of the veterans that surround me daily. I am humbled and honored by the sacrifices made by our American heroes on the battlefields and as they carry out their duties in the states.

My family of full of veterans - from me, to my wonderful husband, both of my brothers, my father and I am sure there are several in past generations as well. We are a proud military family representing the US Navy, Army and Air Force.

The next picture is of my hubby and me. Then of some of our friends who joined to make this weekend extra special!

May Stamp-a-Stack Cards

2009-05-13T11:00:00.000-07:00

Here are 2 of the cards we made this month at my stamp-a-stack. The first one uses the Reinker Watercolor technique that was shown at the Seattle Regional. I was dying to try this, but don't have the Manhattan Rose that was shown to us. So I looked through my stamps and found my Embrace Life set - it turned out wonderfully!
Ingredients: Kiwi Kiss, Tangerine tango and Shimmery White c/s; Embrace Life Stamp set; Whisper White craft ink, Kiwi Kiss, Riding Hood Red, Tangerine Tango and Summer Sun Classic ink or reinkers, Clear embossing powder, Heat tool, white organza ribbon and stampin' dimensionals.
Directions: Just stamp your image in Craft white ink on Shimmery White c/s then heat emboss. Once you have done this, spray the paper until it has puddles. Dip your Aquapainter in the ink and then touch it to the water on the c/s - the color will spread and disperse in the water. Add a couple more colors for a beautiful finish. You can either let the color air dry or use a paper towel and heat gun to dry it faster. Cut out and add to your card or project.

This next card was a fun birthday card. We used bright colors and the Big Shot.

Ingredients: Whisper White, Green Galore, Pink Passion and Pixie Pink c/s; Bitty Birthday and A Little Birthday Cheer stamp sets; Sizzix Big Shot and Big bold Cupcakes dies,Crimper, Stampin' Dimensionals, Crystal Affects, Scallop Edge Punch.

Newest member of my team! Welcome Trish!

2009-05-12T11:00:00.000-07:00

We had a fun Saturday this weekend. After a morning of stamping in Langley with my upline and fellow stampers, Trish and I proceeded to have a little Stampin' Celebration!

Pictured here are Bonnie Abraham and Trish Flaig (my newest dowline member!). Congrats to Trish for joining my team. I know we will have many more Stampin' Celebrations!

They are showing off their cupcake cards. We used the Sizzix Big Shot and SU!'s Big bold Cupcake dies.

Seattle Regional Conference - 4/18/09

2009-05-11T18:51:00.000-07:00

Here is a great picture introducing part of my downline. We all attended the Seattle Regional together. From Left to right: Me, Jane Purin, Shelli Gardner (co-founder of SU!), Michelle Webster and Lyn Sousa (we also attended with Barb and Debby Bockman. What a great way to spend a Saturday. If you are able to attend my classes, you will get to learn some of the techniques that we learned that day. be sure to check my calendar for those opportunities.

Welcome to the newest members of my Stampin' Up! Team!!!

2009-04-27T21:22:00.000-07:00

OK... so I am a little behind - hopefully, I will get the hang of this blogging stuff soon. (Michelle is SO much better at this than I am...)

So, on April 18th (yes, 2009... I'm not that behind) I had the pleasure of attending the Seattle Stampin' Up! Regional Conference. I went with 2 other demonstrators in my downline and came home with 3 new members!!! WOW!

So Congrats to Jane Purin for joining my team! And a big congrats to Michelle Webster and Barb Bockman for their newest recruits - Lynnette Sousa and Debby Bockman, respectively. I am so happy to have each and every one of you on my team!

Next post I promise will include pictures. I am holding a great class called Scrapping In & Out of the Box tomorrow... I'll post some pics of that.

God Bless!
Becca =)

Holland Happening...

2009-04-27T21:17:00.001-07:00

... it really was! I teamed up with Michelle Webster to spread the word about Stampin' Up! This past weekend at Oak Harbor's Holland Happening. What a fun weekend! We met a great number of wonderful stampers - and think they "might could be" stampers - while enjoying some uncommon, but beautiful weather.

We were even approached and asked to join other vending venues this summer! So be on the lookout for us at upcoming events. Hopefully by then, the newest members of my team will be ready to join the fun.

Faux Silk Class

2009-03-22T21:00:00.001-07:00

This is the class I am holding this week. It uses the faux silk technique -
stamped tissue paper crumpled and adhered to neutral card stock.
I got the planner from Class in a Flash - they offer some great class plans. I am very excited about this class. It is so pretty and a great way to spend an evening!

Product used: Raspberry Tart DSP, Kiwi Kiss satin ribbon, Sweet Stems stamp set, and the new wide oval punch.

This Month's Stamp-a-Stack, in case you missed it

2009-03-22T20:41:00.000-07:00

Here are some pictures of the cards we did for this month's stamp-a-stack. This first one is a St. Patrick's day card using the SAB set, Polka Dot Punches and the new textured plates for the Big Shot. I had fun playing with inking my plate before embossing the paper. It is a neat effect!
This rest were birthday cards - this one uses A Flower for All Seasons. I love the frog!

This next one uses two SAB sets:Botanical Blooms and Congrats. I was brave with this one did not use my stamp-a-ma-jig.

I needed to make a birthday card for my aunt, and I specifically got this hostess set for that reason - she likes roosters. =)

I case'd the basics of this card and cannot even remember from where... but it uses the Raspberry Tart DSP and and the scallop Circle die for the Big Shot. The stamp set used is the Petal Pizazz.

I hope you enjoyed seeing the recent cards we have been making. If you want more information, just email me and I'll help you out any way I can.

Decor Elements

2009-02-27T11:23:00.000-08:00

Here are some frames we decorated with our fabulous Decor Elements - there are so many uses for these! I have them on my car windows, on my walls and wherever I can find a place to put them! The first frame was only Decor Elements and some ribbon. I got a little more "creative" on the following frame and gathered a piece of ribbon, overlapped elements and used the half-back pearls from our Pretties Kit.

Here are the other ways I have used Decor Elements... so far!

This is on my kitchen wall to remind us of how blessed we are - and no matter what, we havea home filled with love. This is a Level 2 Hostess benefit.

Here is one we made for Christmas. The element is applied to some plexi-glass. My hubby made the frame so I could hang this in our front window for years to come.

I used some sheet metal so I could make my countdown calendar magnetic. The days are mounted on card stock with magnets attached to the back. Once again, I can use this for years to come!(and it will be ready to hang on December 1st this year!)

I couldn't resist ahowing our Decor Elements to the world - so I put some on my car windows. Believe it or not, these are still on my car... time for something a little more "spring-like". Maybe once the snow melts....

Valentine's Day Projects

2009-02-27T10:55:00.001-08:00

I had the privelege of sharing my passion for paper crafting with the ladies of my MOPS group. I found a great project done by a fello SU! demonstrator. Here is the cute treat box with coordinating card. Everyone had fun putting these together - and showed a functional way to use our products.

Here is the Valentine Class I held. We made a "Valentine Bundle" following a class by Amy and Debbie's Class in a Flash. The class included a recipe booklet, candy jar, bottle of sparkling cider or wine and a coordinating card.
This had originally been advertised as a Christmas class, but I changed the color palette to reflect our Sweet Bella Style Watch (pg. 12 & 13 in our current catalog).

Where did an entire month go?

2009-02-27T10:48:00.000-08:00

OK, so far this year, I have been a little behind in my blogging. I had some trouble figuring out how to watermark my cards and projects - but thanks to my wonderful hubby, we are now up and running. I hope you enjoy looking through some of the pictures to see the projects I have been busy working on - even if I haven't been posting here.

Thursday Thoughts

2009-01-22T19:23:00.000-08:00

Really, I don't have too many thoughts running through my head today (not feeling so good)... but I did want to take a moment to post since it has been over a week. And I needed to make sure you could access the latest catalogs from SU!

So much is happening in my business, it is hard to keep up. The new catalog has arrived! And it is full of so many fabulous, new things! I finally ordered some of them, but forgot to put a rush on it... so alas, looks like I will be waiting until next week to play.

I am looking forward to my upcoming Valentine's class. As soon as I finish the prototypes, I'll post pictures.

Happy Stampin'!
Becca =)

Whoo Hoo! I'm finally blogging!

2009-01-12T13:40:00.000-08:00

Hello, my cyber-friends!

Here is my debut as a blogger, so bear with me. I have been busy finishing up the last of my Christmas presents (and yes, I know it is the middle of January!) and I wanted to share them.

Before I show off the presents I made for my nieces, I want to show you what fun I had with Stampin' Up!'s(R) Decor Elements -

I knew I wanted to put one or two on my car for the Christmas season, so I chose this one and the "Jingle all the Way" for the other side. I didn't attract as much attention as I hoped, but with any luck, it helped people remember the real reason for the season.

I was very excited about the "Santa & Sleigh" Decor Element. My very loving and supportive hubby made me a plexi-glass frame so I could hang it in our front window. I used the Filigree Decor Elements to make it look like snow swirling. The best part is that this is still available, so I might be able to promote it better next year.

OK... now for the presents I made. I hope the girls like them. It is such a neat idea shared by a lady, Peggy Outen, from one of my Yahoo Groups. They are called Memory Cans. These are the ones I made for the three oldest nieces. I tried not to make them too cutesy. The idea is to tear off a piece of paper from the handle, write a thought or memory on it, date it and save it in the can. Of course, they can do whatever they want with them , but I thought it was a neat "upgrade" on journalling.

Below are the others I made:

This one uses the new Candy Lane DSP and is for ME! =)

Well, that is about all I have to share today. I will begin working on my Valentine's as soon as everything from Christmas is safely in the custody of the USPS.

Thanks for looking!

Ode to A Stamper!!

2008-11-07T20:46:00.000-08:00

She learned to stamp on Monday

Her embossing was quite fine.

She forgot to make us dinner

So we went out to dine.

She brayered backgrounds on Tuesday.

She says they are a must.

They really are quite lovely

But she forgot to dust.

On Wednesday it was birthday bags,

She says the chalking's fun.

Shading, blending, watercoloring,

But the laundry wasn't done.

Her card swap was on Thursday

Hers was green and blue and red.

I guess she was really engrossed,

Cuz' she never made the bed.

It was shaker cards on Friday.

A technique she just adores.

So she never seem to notice

The crumbs on all the floors.

I found a maid on Saturday.

My life is now complete.

My wife can stamp the hours away.

The house will still be neat.

Except...

Today is only Sunday,

And my forehead's feeling damp.

I cried, I raved, I ranted...

The MAID has learned to STAMP!!!
