Before I left for Hawaii I created a Paper Bag Scrap-booking using the Good Friends Stamp Set. I decided I wanted to enter it into the Scrap-booking Class Challenge that Stampin’ Up! was having.

I was one of four winners and my project was posted today on our demonstrator site. I have entered so many contests and it’s such an honor to finally win. Plus the free stamp set of my choice doesn’t hurt either. What’s even better is today is my Birthday so what a fun Birthday surprise.

Hawaii Trip

Aloha Everyone. The Hawaii Trip was so awesome. Sorry I wasn’t able to post any more. I didn’t have Internet access like I thought I would. I’ve now got a bunch of pictures for you to check out from the trip. It’s an extra page under the about me section. You can click here to check out more. Also be watching my header. I plan on changing it over the next few weeks to several of the Hawaii photos. There were so many that I loved I had a hard time choosing just one. I hope you enjoy the pictures and a little glimpse of the trip. Enjoy.

Stampin’ Sunday 3-22-09

Our small group decided that we wanted to do a wow card swap in Hawaii. Of course I didn’t figure out my card until two-o-clock in the morning the night before I was leaving, but hey at least I figured it out. I actually finished making them on the plane ride from Maui to the Big Island.

Because it was a wow card I really wanted to use something fun. We have two new die that are available April 1st. They are pop up dies. The Cake Pop-up Die and the Ball Pop-Up Die. I pre-ordered the cake so I just had to try it out. It’s really fun beacuse it pops up out of the card when you open it. It is thick so you really need something to hold it closed. I decided to put a ribbon around it that slides off.

Here is the inside of the card. I should have decorated the cake a bit more. I think I’m going to add some pretty in pink 1/4″ grosgrain ribbon to the middle layer.

I will add a better picture with the ribbon around it.

Aloha

Aloha everyone. I’m in beautiful Hawaii. I’m heading out to go snorkeling today. I’ll try to post pictures if I can. I just want to say thanks again to all of my wonderful customers, hostess and down-line. I wouldn’t be here with out you. You are all awesome. Let me know if you need anything. I will still be back in time to finish up all the fun Sale-a-bration stuff. See you soon. Candice

We had a wonderful day today in Maui. Here is a picture of us on our Snuba Dive. If you have never heard of it you really need to try it. It’s a cross between snorkeling and scuba diving. You are attached to a 20 foot hose so you get to go under the water and really see stuff, however you don’t have to be certified to do it. We did it the last time we were in Hawaii and I really wanted to try it again. I loved it and would love to take my kids sometime. I think they would love it too. We had plenty of time to snorkel as well which as really fun.

We also got to see beautiful Humpback whales and Green Sea Turtles.

The rest of the day was spend driving up the beautiful coast. Followed by dinner and an romantic walk on the beach. It was a really wonderful day.

I hope you enjoyed this little glimpse. I will try and post more when I can’t. But I don’t know how much Internet access I will have. Aloha

Stampin’ Sunday 3-15-09

I made this fun book Sunday Morning. It only took me about an hour and that includes creating it. I was asked to create a paper bag book for a class at church. I really had fun creating this book. I had never created a paper bag book before so this was really fun.

I love that I could have fun pull outs to go with it. I chose the good friend stamp set so that it could be versatile and you could put just about anything with it.

The book has a total of 10 pages plus 3 pullouts that are front and back. I had fun using the in-colors and the good morning sunshine paper. Here is a sample of just one of the page sections.

Marvelous Monday 3-9-09

My Sister and I had a Game Night Friday night. She sales Simply Fun which fun family games. We thought it would be fun to use the new game night stamps and have a combo party. If you would be interested in more information about her games you can check out her website at www.brigetudy.simplyfun.com.

I wanted to create a fun project that would go along with the theme. I found this folder created by Wendy Knowles in our awesome group. I decided to give it a try. Her project was all covered with the DSP, but I didn’t have enough so I decided to try it with paper that I stamped on. She covered a file folder.

I found that this was a little more difficult with the solid paper verses the DSP and it was hard to fold and not have it bubble. I still think that it turned out cute, but was more time consuming than I wanted for the party so I decided I needed to simplify.

This is the project I came up with. It is really quite fast and easy. It’s just one sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 paper folded around the note pad. Then I added the DSP and some stamped paper. I still added the cute black strip in the front like she had. I used a crimped paper inbetween to give it a little more texture. I decided I didn’t want to tie the bow everytime we used it so I put the stampin’ demimentionals on the bottom part of the black tag only so I could slide the ribbon off the top.

Inside Wendy had attached the notebook with sticky strip but I wanted to be able to replace it with out tearing my book so I decided to put a strip of DSP all the way across. I only glued it down on one side. Where the note book is I placed it in-between the card board back and the last sheet of paper. Then I put sticky strip on each side of it. This way I cold slip the note book out and put a new one in.

We love to play games with my family and I really loved having a way to keep score. There is a little ribbon loop on the front that you can keep a pencil in. This way we can keep this with all the games and then when we want to play we don’t have to find a notebook a paper. Sometimes it’s also fun to see who won last time so it’s nice to have it all in one place.

113995 Jackpot DSP $9.95
1113220 Game Night $20.95
109027 Black 1/4″ Grosgrain Ribbon $4.95
