Here's the other set of pages that we will be making on Monday, January 26. I just love the colors for this set!

I will tell you more about these pages next week. I'm really please with the way they turned out and look forward to tell you more about them.

I'M BACK!!!!!!!!!

MIA- Missing in action is what you can call me! Yep, life has been crazy! I'm sure I'm not alone in that sentiment. I have been incredible busy and had to put blogging on the side but I am BACK!

I won't bore you with the details of where I've been for almost 3 years. Just remember that I have 4 beautiful daughters that are very active in their schools and extra curricular activities.

I do have a class coming up very soon! My scrapbooking night is Monday, January 26 and just to tease you, here is one of the sets of pages you can make with me! I found this set of pages from another demonstrator and didn't change a whole lot as it is perfect just the way it is! That snowman is just too cute!

Make your plans now to come on over Monday, January 26 to get yourself a set of these great pages! You will also create another set of pages. The cost is $15 or FREE with a $30 purchase.k

Can't wait to see you all there!

Stampin' Up!: Flight of the Butterfly

I held a class on how to do One Sheet Wonders. These are the cards that we created.

The way a one sheet wonder works, is that you start with a plain sheet of cardstock (you can also use a piece of DSP but I wanted to stamp!). Then you stamp the cardstock full of images. You want to make sure that the paper is quite full because once you cut it, you may end up with white space that you don't really want. Here is what my 6x6 cardstock looked like before I cut it up to use on my cards.

After you stamp, then you cut it up to use on the cards. There are lots of people who have shared their templates. I'm not sure which/who's pattern I used to cut this up. I can get you the measurements if you really want them! Let me know in the comments!

Here are the close ups of the 8 cards that this 6x6 made.

Stamps: Flight of the Butterfly, Sincere Salutations

Ink: Real Red, Pretty in Pink, Pool Party, Wild Wasabi, Basic Black

Cardstock: Real Red, Pretty in Pink, Pool Party, Wild Wasabi, Whisper White

Accessories: Grosgrain ribbon: Real Red, Pretty in Pink, Whisper White, Pool Party ribbon, 

Wide oval punch, Butterfly punch, sponges, Perfect Polka dots embossing folder

The Flight of the Butterfly, all the grosgrain ribbon, the butterfly punch and Sincere Salutations are all retiring! Don't miss out on these fun things!

Happy Stampin'!

Stampin' Up!: Graduation Announcements

My neighbor and friend has a son that is graduating this year from Shoreland Lutheran High School in Somers, WI. She asked me to create 76 invites for her. Now you know part of what I was doing in April! Of course they weren't the easiest cards around either! I love how they turned out! My oldest daughter, Abi is a freshman at the same High School. She was pretty mad when she saw these! She thought they were so cool and was afraid that I didn't have anything left for her graduation in 3 years. I have time but I am in need of a few ideas!

Here's a group picture of all 76 invites.

Here's a close up of one. You can see that they are a criss-cross card. Lots of little things on this card. They took a long time to get done!

Stamps: none

Ink: none

Cardstock: Basic Black, Summer Sun (retired), Whisper White

Accessories: Basic Black DSP, Round Tab punch, Scallop Circle punch, 1 3/8" circle

 punch, Square Lattice embossing folder, Timeless Type dies, dimensional, Tombo liquid adhesive

 While I used this card for an announcement/invitation, you could make it as a card to give to the graduates in your life! Change colors to your students high school colors and your all set! Just be prepared that there are A LOT of little parts to this card!

Happy Stampin'!
