Fun Little Game

I love checking my friend Deborah’s blog and she posted this great idea. Since I REALLY want something from her (even though I’m a little nervous about her limitations posted below), I’m offering the same challenge to you. The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you. This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:

1- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make! (But, I really hope you will)
2- What I create will be just for you.
3- It’ll be done this year.
4- You have no clue what it’s going to be.
5- I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.

The catch? Oh, the catch is that you must repost this on your blog (or facebook, etc.) and offer the same to the first 5 people who do the same on your blog. The first 5 people to do so and leave a comment telling me they did, win a FAB-U-LOUS homemade gift by me! Oh, and be sure to post a picture of what you win when you get it! Good luck!

Marvelous Monday 2-16-09

Recently I was able to preview the new Spring Mini Catalog (just one of the many perks of becoming a demonstrator.  Can I just say “So cute”  I can’t wait.  Be watching for a Sneak peek and pre-order items for customers starting March 1st.  Anyway I was looking back through some old projects and remember this scrapbook page that I entered into a contest last year.  Although the paper and many of the accessories are now retired (it was last years spring mini) I thought the idea would inspire you and remind you that our mini catalog items are for a limited time only so start planning today.  April and May are great times to have a Stampin’ Up!® party.

field-trip-pg-1This was my son Mikey on his Kindergarten field trip. I just love how the chipboard elements add depth to the page.  These pages used last year’s In-Colors.  Remember the current In-Colors are only available until the end of June.  Stock up now to make sure you get your favorites.

field-trip-pg-2I really love this page.  The big pictue was my favorite.  I loved that I was able to print the pictuers to just the right size with my pictue printer (HP Photosmart D7360)  I love it.

Thrifty Thursday 2-12-09

valentines-heartToday we had to make lots of Valentine’s for my son’s classes.  So we decided to make the same fun project.  My son, Mikey had a lot of fun helping to make them.  Then we put them in bags so the candy would stay in when he gave them out.  I love making the Valentine’s because they get something fun and different. 

lots-of-valentinesIt was also nice because one of my other sons told me last minute that he need some as well.  He’s in middle school so I didn’t think he needed them.  Thankfully I had extra Candy and Paper already so it was easy to make more for him.  Once again Stampin’ Up!© saves the day.

Wacky Wednesday 2-4-09

So I got a fun package from the UPS man today.  It was my order with some of the fun new products.  I got the new cutter bee circle cutter and some new stuff for the big shot.  Of course I just had to try it out.  My son actually gave me the perfect opportunity.  His Birthday is in the middle of summer when life is usually crazy so I told him we could have a 1/2 Birthday party instead.  We are planning for Friday night so I made him these cute cards to invite his friends.  His favorite color is blue so of course I had to use the in-color Pacific point.  Plus I had to try out my new toys.

bold-cupcake-diecut-card1I really loved putting the texture on the Bold cupcakes.  The frosting has the swirl plate and the cake has the polk-a-dot.  Then I used the directly to paper technique to get a little ink on them and really make them pop.  I loved how it turned out.  I really loved using the circle cutter.  It was so fast and easy.  I can’t wait to try it for more projects. 

I did learn that I need to cut out the items with the big shot and then run the texture on them otherwise the pressure of cutting it just smooths it back out again.  Anyway I had lots of fun and my son loved them so I hope you like it too.

What I used:
#114512 Stampin’ Up! Backgrounds 1 $11.95
#114509 Stampin’ Up! Big Bold Cupcakes $21.95
#112530 Circle Scissor Plus $29.95
#112531 Glass Mat $19.95
#111367 Chocolatee Chip 1/4″ Grosgrain Ribbon $4.95
#111532 Party Hearty $23.95

Colors- Pacific Point, Whisper White, Chocolate Chip

Remember if you love the big shot as much as I do you can always lay it a way and start making payments so you can have it for the future.  Click here for more details.
