Stampin’ Sunday 2-15-09

Today I decided to share the projects that we did at club this month.  They were all centered around the wonderful Sale-A-Brations Sets.  We also used the technique that I showed on Technique Tuesday February 3rd.  You can check out all the details there.

The Scrapbookers got to make this cute 12 x 12 double page layout.  I got the idea form page 4 of the sale-a-bration catalog.  I love that the paper, Polka Dot Punches stamp set and the ribbon all work together.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Today I thought I would share some of the other Valentine’s Day cards that I’ve made or gotten from swaps.  Hope you enjoy.  Here are just 2.  You can click here to see more.

hugs-kisses-heart-cardI really like this card.  I love how she used the hearts for balloons.  This card was created by Naomi Keeling.  You can check out more of her stuff at: www.stampwithnaomi.blogspot.com

love-bird-sparklyThis beautiful card was created by Kimberly Anderson.  I think it was for my big shot swap.  Check out all the beautiful detail.  What I love about this card is it’s all the big shot so it looks complicated but the cutting part was easy.

Freewheeling Friday 2-13-09

Today was Friday the 13th, but for me it’s usually a good day.  Once again that proved to be true.  Today I was able to go to the shoebox swap that my up-line Brandi was having.  I love it when I can get together with other demonstrators and Stamp.  It’s so much fun to visit and get new ideas. 

rolled-flower-friends-cardThis was one of the 19 cards we got to make.  I loved how we used the roller on the flower from the pretties kit.  What fun.  I also love all the texture in the card.  (Texture plates on card-stock and textured DSP.)  I think the project was created by Becky.

roster-cardSo this is something I hadn’t thought of before.  This is a card that I got at Leadership.  Sorry no name.  I love how they used the top note big die  and then cut out around it on the bottom of the card.  I thought this was a really neat effect.  I think I will have to give it a try.
