Exciting News & Birthday Sale

First for the Exciting News-
So I know I’m really far behind on my post right now but I just had to get on and talk about my exciting news. 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 actually stayed up all night the night before Hawaii to finish the instructions and send it in. Well yesterday I got a call and I won. I’m so excited. 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. You can check out all the information about this fun book and how to get your project for just $10.00 by clicking here. Be watching for a special date that I’m going to add where you can come and make this fun project. Just as an added bonus.

Swapping Saturday 3-14-09

This was my swap from our group meeting on the 13th. I was so excited to use some of the product from the new occasions mini catalog. I loved that the butterfly matched the butterfly die cut. I stamped on the die cut butterfly after I cut it out. I also used directly to paper technique to add a little more to the edge. I created the antlers by cutting off the side of the white 1/4″ grosgrain ribbon. Then I pulled out some of the fibers. This is what I used to tie around the butterfly.

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
