Club projects for August


Inspired by Nature, daubers were used to add color to the image on the stamp. Kiwi Kiss, Summer Sun and Chocolate Chip inks were used.



Ice Cream, Ice Cream, need I say more. This great card uses the tab punch, word window punch and the scallop punch.



This is a pouch and a card using our Always DSP and Always Stamp Set



This is the card portion open, the pouch is behind it.

Tammy's Workshop

Look what we made at Tammy's Take Three Workshop last night! You can host your own too! Please contact me today for more details and to get a date on the calendar!



Fun and Fast notes cards using DSP paper, ribbon and markers. All of Tammy's guests were able to choose the image and greeting from the stamp set that wished to use!



Tammy's guests had a choice of a 3x6 card or a 6x6 scrapbook page. Both use the same materials and stamp sets!






This was our 3-D item. An absolutely fabulous candy bar holder!

How many ways can you box it, bag it, put a gift in it?


A display of 7 different types of boxes, bags and gift card holders made with our new holiday paper! This is all from one package of DSP and I still have two full sheets left and plenty of scraps!

How is this for a gift bag?



Cool triangle box, was a little tricky but I think it came out a winner!

The Tall Bag/Box is the big finish!
Ask me how to make these and when my gift packaging class is going to be this fall.....What a great night out for you and your friends, book your own private workshop and have your friends learn how to make these great projects!

This is what my Stamp Studio Desk looks like right now! I am busy crafting in between life and laundry!

Book to Look


Check out this basket! It's my Book to Look basket. Book a workshop with me and you can choose one of these cute pillow boxes (which I made with my Big Shot) inside is a variety of great goodies you can earn in addition to your hostess benefits.

What can you do with a Simply Scrappin Kit....Well let me just show you....

I have my new Stampin' Gear from the Fall/Winter Collection and I have been so busy playing with all the new stuff and trying to put my house together from just the day to day!

Look what you can do with a Simply Scrappin Kit and some ribbon. The only thing I added to the Kit besides adhesive was ribbon and I created these four projects and I still have more to work with but I need to move on to my next project!

Check out this beautiful box with a thank you card.





Inside the box you will find TWO mini scrapbooks just ready for the family photos of any occasion.





This is the first mini scrapbook called a flip book. This is the book closed.





This is the book with one cover open...






This is the book with both covers open....


This is the inside of one flip of the book...



This is the book standing up so you can see how it flips with many panels for journaling and for photos.



This is the inside of another panel flip....

The last project is an envelope album. They were popular a few years back and I think it a cute idea so I am bringing it back. Here is the album closed.

Here is the contents of the 10 pockets. Each card is ready for a note or a photo.


I hope you enjoyed these projects. They use the new Summer Home Simply Scrappin Kit from Stampin' Up! Very easy and very fun to do!

Rock Band has arrived




Dylan wanted Rock Band the video game for his 7th birthday and Dad came through and brought it home for him. Maddie is on the guitar, Jack on the Drums and Dylan on vocals. I can't wait for the new one to come out this Fall, I like the song selection on the second game much better, but these guys just LOVE this game.
