Scrapbook Class/Club - Tuesday, January 29th

Here are the projects we made last night at our Scrapbook Class.  This class has both a club option as well as a class option.  For the club option, you join the "club" for 10 months - club starts any time you'd like to join - and, you end up with a beautiful 30 page scrapbook at the end of your club membership!!.  You'll place a mimimum $25 order each month during club, get your scrapbook pages for FREE each month AND then enjoy the awesome Hostess Benefits one month during club!!  It's a great way to build up your stamping supplies without breaking the bank!!  Just let me know if you'd like more info on this great club option.!!  Or...  if you'd like to check out the class but aren't ready to commit to the club, just try it out for a month and see what you think!!  I know you'll love it!!  You can either place a minimum $25 order or pay a flat $15 fee for the pages - it's up to you!!
Ok...  enough about classes and clubs....  Here are the projects....


I wanted to feature the Valentine products we have in the Spring Catalog on our pages this month - they are yummy :). 
The first page showcases the awesome Hearts a Flutter Bundle - it's a great stamp set and coordinating framelits all in one - and you save 15% off when you buy them together in the bundle!!

Here is one of the beautiful laser-cut pink doilies from the More Amore Specialty Designer Series Paper, along with one of the flowers from the Vanilla 5/8" Flower Trim (dabbed in a bit of Primrose Petals ink for that touch of soft color!) and a "flag" of the 1 1/4" Two-Tone Basic Gray Ribbon - these are such amazing, fun products to play with!!

Here is page 1 of the 2-page Winter spread that we started this month (the second half of this spread will be completed next month!).



It says "Winter".....  what will the next page say????  You'll just have to check back next month!!  The "Winter" is stamped using the Notable Alphabet set - what a fun, whimsical set!! 

We also feature more of the new Sycamore Street Ribbon (this time in Island Indigo) - a FREE Sale-a-bration item right now with any $50 purchase (you actually receive a spool of Pool Party, Island Indigo and Tangerine Tango ribbon and a coordinating button pack all for free!!), along with a strip of the Sycamore Street Designer Series Paper (another freebie with a $50 order!).

Stampin' Up Leadership Convention in Orlando, FL

I know....  This was a few week's ago, so it's kind of old news...  But, I had such a good time and wanted to share some of my photos with you!!  Plus, I kinda thought.... better late than never!!
Roommates!!  What a great group of gals to spend time at convention with - Tina Weller (great friend from New Brunswick, Canada), Marty Mahar (my Aunt and great friend, as well!) and Sonia Weber (my cousin, Marty's daughter and another great friend!!).  We had such an awesome time together!!


Here we are again during one of the General Sessions at Convention!!


Friend and fellow demo, Robin Spinner - she moved to Pennsylvania a few years ago - it was great to see her again!!


Not a great picture, I know...  But we had so much fun getting together with my friend, Robin Spinner and her roommates (Emma Fewkes and Debra Daam - who, by the way, are some awesome new friends of ours as well now!!)


I guess we liked this photo op...  Plus, I loved the theme of this year's Leadership Convention....  Making a Difference for 25 Years....  I can't believe Stampin' Up has been around for 25 years already!!  Does it date me for you to know that this company started the year I graduated from high school....


So, here is Emma learning she won a free registration to the Convention in Salt Lake City this summer!!  How exciting!!  She was thrilled!!


Here are some of the display boards from Leadership - they do such a nice job of displaying the creativity that the products in the catalog inspire!!





Well, I hope you enjoyed these photos!!

Happy Creating!!

Stampin' Up Leadership Convention Swap


Here is the swap I made for the Stampin' Up Leadership Convention earlier this month!!



This is one of those stamp sets I bought when the new catalog was released last summer and had not had a chance to play with yet...  I seem to have quite a few like that!!  It will be my "mission" this winter to play with them all!!  That might be kind of fun!!

This stamp set happens to be called Lacy & Lovely... 

Lacy & Lovely Wood-Mount Stamp Set

 Lacy & Lovely Stamp Set  (wood-mount)  122885  $24.95
Lacy & Lovely Stamp Set  (clear-mount)  122887  $17.95


I loved this color combination, too - I think I saw it on another card I "pinned" on Pinterest not too long ago...  So, what is the color combo, you ask??  It's Marina Mist, Midnight Muse and Summer Starfruit.  I think they work very well together!

I wanted to keep these swaps simple (since I started them the night before I left for convention and knew I'd be assembling them on the plane or in my hotel room...!).  So, I just added a little bling with the rhinestones and then added that cute scalloped edge along the bottom with the Adorning Accents Edgelit.


Adorning Accents Edgelits Die

Adorning Accents Edgelit Dies  125595  $9.95

It's a sweet and simple card that highlights the stamping 
and the beautiful images that Stampin' Up creates for us!!

Hope you enjoyed!

Here are a few up-close pics of each of the projects....
First is a fun Valentine's Day card - or, really, a card for any occasion that you want to tell someone you love them!  I saw this card at the Leadership Convention in Orlando last week - I apologize I did not see the back of the card to give credit to the original designer (unfortunately, I think there are a couple more projects below that I cannot note the original designer either...).


This next project is a large cello bag filled with 4 mini (3x3) cards in a cute little box!!

Here's a lollipop that Brian Pilling demonstrated at the Leadership Convention last week.  This fun scalloped doily heart can be found in the More Amore Specialty Designer Series Paper pack!

This is a beautiful project that Ronda Wade demonstrated at Leadership Convention as well! 
It's a gorgeous chipboard book that can be used for journaling
or could hold favorite photos of your loved ones!!

Finally, we have one more cute, simple Valentine's Day card!

So, you've probably noticed a lot of fun, new items on these projects - maybe that pretty pink resin heart in the card above..... or that gorgeous paper flower on the cello bag.... or maybe all of the beautiful ribbon on that chipboard book....??  Well, it all comes in the new Artisan Embellishment Kit from the Spring Catalog....
Artisan Embellishments Kit
Artisan Embellishment Kit  129328  $9.95
