Fun Snowman Card

I’m participating in a Stampin’ Up! Boot-Camp right now and each week we have a Stampin’ Challenge.  This week our challenge was to use a layout in the catalog and then change the colors and stamp set.  I thought I would share the fun card with you.  I love how it turned out and I think I will be adding it to my Christmas Card Crunch Class (be watching for details.)

We had such a great time at Stamp Night last week.  Thanks so much for those who came.  I’m excited for those who joined and will be with me each month.  It was also fun to meet some new faces.  I look forward to having you back.

Here are the great projects we made.

Covention Swaps Group 3

Wahoo I got another group done already.

I am so in love with this page.  I think it’s so cute and so well done.  First the colors are great, second I love the stamp set and third the which feet accent is just adorable.  It was created by Lynda Day.  In fact I almost didn’t get this fabulous page because of a mix up in times.  I’m so glad we were able to work it out a get it because it’s terrific.

Wicked Cool
#118738 Wood $19.95
#120600 Clear $14.95

Another great layout by another great stamper.  This was created by Stacie Jensen.  I’ve been asked several times which DSP was used so I thought I would let you know it’s not, it’s actually a stamp set so any one can create it.

Growing Green
#118758 Wood $21.95
#120624 Clear $16.95

This cute page was created by Kathryn Whittaker.  What makes the page so fun is all the strips of Designer Series Paper in the background.  They really make the page fun.

#117167 Greenhouse Gala $9.95
#113510 Schoolbook Serif Alphabet $43.95

I know I should have posted this sooner since it uses the fun set from the mini that just retired, but I still love the layout and it can be very in so many other ways.  It was created by my up-line Janice Barlow.  The unique thing about this page is she used the die cuts from the big shot as a template to sponge the letters.

This last one was created by my awesome friend Maxine Conrad.  What you can’t see is that she used textured card-stock for the family as well as for the Cherry Cobbler Strips.  It’s so easy to add your pictures to the adorable page.

#115960 Alphabet Simple Letters Dies $89.95
#115778 Circle Circus $28.95
This set is also available for MDS

One more set so be watching.

Covention Swaps 12 x 12 group 1

Sorry I’ve been missing in action we’ve had internet problems and I’ve had camera issues, but I’m back and with some fabulous swaps form convention. The last group I did was 12 x 12 pages. There were actually two group for this one. Because there are so many I’m going to break them up in 4 groups. So enjoy!

There is no particular order here and I will try and let you know who did each one (hopefully they are all marked.)  Thanks again to everyone who participated all of the pages are great.   I’ve already used some for Club and I’m looking forward to adding pictures to them.

First up is mine.  I used the awesome Awash with Flowers Set.  It’s hard to tell but the flowers are done with a fun technique that gives you a water color look even though it’s a solid stamp.

Awash with Flowers
#117063 Wood $39.95
#120549 Clear $ 27.95

Word Play
#120308 Wood $41.95
#120651 Clear $28.95

#117163 Elegant Soiree DSP  $9.95

Is this page just cute or what.  I love it.  It was created by Shelly May.  I love the colors and the overall layout.  Plus how cute is the cogs punch.  I’m so glad that they put it in the catalog.

#117164 Celebrations DSP  $9.95

#118873 Cogs Extra- large Double Punch $17.95

# 111550 Sock Monkey  $26.95

#120468 Clear $12.95

Party this way
#118744 Wood $15.95
#120609 Clear $11.95

This page is so fun and so cute.  In fact I used it for club last month.  With just one change.  Her cute sand is actually made with real sand paper.  I created it with the awesome log cabin spray.  I just love all the fun punch art on this page as well.  It was created by Natalie Cottle.

Punches used:
#119856   Scallop Oval  $16.95
#119856   1-1/4″ Square  $15.95
#119850 1-3/4″ Circle  $16.95
#119869 1/2″ Circle  $5.95
#119872 Spiral Boarder $15.95

#119871 3/16″ Corner $6.95

Can I say I’m in love.  This page is adorable.  It was made by Melanie Williams and she would say it’s a little Cheese.  I would have to agree.  The cheese is so cute I love how easy it is to make just using all of our different circle punches.  Plus doesn’t the hamburger just look good enough to eat.  She even added texture to the bun by using the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder.

#117335 Perfect Polka Dots $7.95

On the Grill
#116970 Wood $23.95
#120474 Clear $17.95

The last fun page for today was created by Deanne Henderson.  I love how simple it is yet very I catching.  There’s so much detail in all the flowers.  Off course they were created with our great punches again.  What you can’t see very well is the fun Rhinestones in the center of the small flowers.  With 150 per package it’s so easy to add fun bling to your page.

#119246 Basic Rhinestones $4.95

#119831 Sunny Garden DSP $9.95

#117158 In Color Patterns DSP Stack $19.95

Back from Convention

I’m back from Convention and so excited to share everything with you.  Convention was fabulous as usual.  Of course there were tons of great ideas.  I did my swaps again this year so I thought I would share them with you.  I was in charge of three different swaps this year: a fabric swap using the Big Shot, a 3D swap and a 12 x 12 Double Scrapbook Layout.  So far I have the fabric swaps up so you can check them out.  Just image how much fun you could have making these projects with your own Big Shot.  I’d love to show you how just give me a call, plus you can check out all these great projects in person.

To see the fun swaps just click here. You can also find them under Samples-Swaps-Convention 2010.  Check backs so to see the great Hostess Promotion as well as the other swaps I got.

Sew Fun Quilting Weekend

Thanks so much for everyone who helped me to earn the Sew Fun Quilting Weekend.  I had a blast and learned so much.  I would love to show all of you how to make these awesome quilts.  If you want to learn let  me know.

So here’s the first quilt.  It’s the one I made for my husband.  It’s made with 10 by 10 square and then I cut out the small squares with the Big Shot Scallop Square Die.  This is the same die I used to make the baby quilt and the rag bags.  I will post more pictures after I get it quilted.  When it’s done and you wash it then the ends come up and and frey a bit like the rag bags.

This is the second quilt that I made.  This one is for me.  As you can see I tied in several of the same patterns.  They are both green, brown and white and then I added the pink to mine and the blue to his.  Mine is made with the Scallop Circle Die and Scallop Circle #2 die.  This one is really pretty when it’s quilted because all the circles just pop.  It’s also really easy to make and not very much sewing.  I just sewed the outside boarders and then glued on all the scallop circles.  I also found out that there’s something in the chemical make-up of our glue that makes it so that it doesn’t gum up the needle for the quilters and then washes out.

I made both these quilts on Saturday at the event, that’s cut sew and glue plus time to visit and eat.  I think what took the longest was deciding which patterns to put where.  I also made a quilt Friday Night and a baby quilt on Sunday.  I will post those later.

If you want to see the fun projects in person, be sure to stop by my booth at the Hyrum Star Spangled week on July 5th.
