Crazy for Christmas

I know some of you are thinking it’s way to early for Christmas.  While I do agree with you and I have put out my fun fall decorations and I’m waiting until after Thanksgiving to put up my Christmas stuff.  However I do know that this time of the year calendars fill up fast so I wanted to give you the dates of my annual “Crazy for Christmas” stamp Camp.  This is my favorite event of the year when I will have lots of fun Christmas gift project you can make for friends, family, neighbors and co-workers.  I’m still working on all the projects, but here’s a sneak peek of one of my favorites so far.

This cute snowman is made with our cookie boxes.  Each box can still be opened so you can fill them with fun cookies (our cookie press make this so easy) or other treats. Then when the treats are gone they will still have a cute snowman for their home.  This is just one of the many fun projects I will have to make so mark your calendars and plan to come.  Be watching for more info. on all the projects or better yet visit me at Novemberfest Thanksgiving weekend at Logan Rec Center to see them in person.

Help me help this family

Help me put the “Fun” in Fundraising.

Michelle Stamipn' Convention '08
I have a down-line member that I’d like to introduce you to.  Her name is Michelle.  Some of you may have met her, but I know many of you haven’t.  I met her about 10 years ago when she was my son’s first grade teacher.  It was her first year teaching and we became instant friends.  I even had the privilege of attending her wedding.  We continued our friendship even after my son moved to the next grade.  I invited her to my open house when I first became a demonstrator and she joined my club.  This was a perfect opportunity to get to know her better.  She ended up moving to Morgan, but would still travel once a month to come to club.  Eventually she became my first recruit.

She continued to teach in Morgan, but her and her husband desperately wanted children of their own.  After being told she couldn’t have children they decided to adopt.  Almost three years ago they adopted a beautiful little boy.  I consider her quite a courageous women, because she was willing to adopt this little boy who has down syndrome and had to have open heart surgery in his first year.

18 months later they decided that they wanted to get back on the list for adoption.  They were just finishing the process when she discovered they’d beaten the odds, she was pregnant.  This was such a miracle for them.  Her son was born 5 weeks early.  He was also born with 2 left kidneys which he will have to have surgery for.  Before he left the hospital he failed his hearing test.

Since then they have tried many things, but they’ve decided what will work best is a special surgery for hearing aids.  He was approved for this surgery however it is very expensive.  The insurance will pay 22% but that still leaves over 100,000.00 that they must pay for their son to be able to hear. Here’s a link to their blog if you would like to learn more.

This little family has been through so much.  I think Michelle is such an amazing women to care for these little boys.  She quit her job to so she could take care of them.

Check out the cute project we made last month.

This was the scrapbook page we made.  Here’s some close ups of the details.  Focus this month was on the shimmer paints.  Just $5.95 each.  Available in 3 colors: Champagne Mist,  Frost White and Platinum.

We used the same ideas on the cards.

This card matches the pages.  I showed them lots of fun ways to use our awesome Shimmer Paints.  We sprayed them on, stamped with them and sponged them onto the paper.

To create this awesome background we started by stamping the flower on white paper with versa mark then we embossed it with clear embossing powder.  Next we stamped the rest of our images (except for the bird).  Then we sponged the center with Sahara Sand and the outside edges with Basic Grey.  Then we stamped our bird in Basic Black.

Once we were done with the stamping we ran it through the Big Shot to get the fun embossing on it.  Then we blended everything together using the Frost White Shimmer Paint and our awesome sponges.

Here’s our second card.  The background was created the same way only this time we used the Champagne Mist Shimmer spray.  The colors on this were Marina Mist and Soft Suede.  You can’t see it very well but the Eiffel Tower was stamped in Early Espresso then sponged with the Champagne Mist to give it a fun sparkle.  Sorry the pictures really don’t do these cards justice.  Just a note this technique does not work with the Platinum.

As a special bonus I have a few of these kits left.  Anyone who contact me to come to the Saturday club and check it out will also get to make these cards as a bonus.

My Club Members (those that come every month) also get to  make a bonus project.  This is the fun project they got to make.  It features the new Snowflake Soiree from the fabulous Holiday Catalog.

I know it’s a bit early for Let It Snow, but I love how the Shimmer Paint works so well with this stamp set.  We stamped the small snowflake with the Platinum Shimmer Spray by using a sponge dauber to apply it to the stamp.  Then the whole thing in sprayed with platinum shimmer paint.  We made it sparkle just a little more with the Dazzling Details Silver Sparkle from the Holiday Catalog to all the letters, then added a few Pearls the the centers of some of the snowflakes.
