Valentine's Day Workshop

Now that I have a new camera, I've got several things to share with you. Here are some of the things we made at my all day Valentine's Stampin' Up event. Above is the Always Be Mine banner made using the Always stamp set and chipboard coasters.

This picture is of a covered conversational heart box. The card stock used is Pink Pirouette and white, the ink is Pink Pirouette for the Love wheel and Riding Hood Red for the stamps.

Another candy ideal but this one is chocolate!

I used the Love wheel on a sheet of return address labels, then peeled and stuck them onto the mini chocolate bars and placed them in the decorated tin and added the decorative belly band.

Below is a stair step card and a heart puzzle card.

Well, I tried to get my Valentine things up early but my camera is not working! All the wonderful things I've taken pictures of, will not transfer and the card reads as empty!! I had photos of the stair step challenge we brought to our demonstrators training meeting last Saturday. (Beautiful Cards) I had pictures of my Valentine Workshop samples and several weeks worth of class projects to show you, but they are all gone, poof! Bummer :o\ I'm highly ticked right now! Well, I guess I'll be going camera shopping tonight.

Christmas Holiday Fun

Here are a few of the projects featured in my Christmas Stampin' Up Workshop. The 6X4 mini accordion album is just perfect for adding those favorite photos and giving as a gift to your special family members and friends. Grammies especially like to find this in their stocking, I know I'm a Grammy ;o)

This little elf boot can be filled with candy and used as a center piece or given as a gift. I filled it with candy canes and kept it sitting on my buffet during the Christmas season. I ended up making several of the birdhouse ornaments. I changed out the design a little and alternated Glorious Green ink on the house with a Real Red roof and floor and then did the opposite using the Glorious Green card stock as the roof and floor with the Real Red ink on the house. The pouch that is at the bottom is Magic Reindeer Food.

The plum pudding box was a real hit at the workshop. It could also be made as a cupcake to hold birthday party favors. An acrylic photo holder and sticky notes were used to make a note pad. I loved the Santa Hershey bar idea and so did the class. In January I will be hosting a Valentine Workshop. I hope to get my projects posted before Valentine's Day.

I would like to give special thanks to Valita for allowing me to use her elf boot and plum pudding designs. You can view all her wonderful creations on her blog Valita's Designs and Fresh Folds listed in my favorites.

Stair Step Challenge

Happy Blessings! That's the name of the stamp set I

used in my down-line challenge card.

This set is in the 2008 Holiday Mini

and I hope they keep it in the main catty.

I just love this little set!

My 'Howling' Good Time Stampin' Up event

Hi Y'all,

It's been awhile since my last post, I've been on the road again. This time I was in Evansville, IN painting with well known American Folk Artist, Mary Jane Todd. We are writing a book together, this will be my 2nd book and her 7th.

I'm back home now and getting ready for my "Howling Good Time", Halloween Stampin' Up event. Here are a few of the things that we will be making in the all day stamping session. I hope to get the rest up soon.

Hallowen Stampin' Fun

Here are some things that I made last year using the 'Booglie Eyes' stamp set. I hated that this set was retired.

The 'Autumn Apparitions' set from last year's mini catalog didn't make the cut either. The only other Halloween themed stamp set I own is the 'Batty for You' set and the 'Batty' wheel.
