April Club- Just Beachy

April '09 FishThis post is a little late, but I thought you would like to see the fun projects we did for club in April.  I featured the fun Just Beachy set from the mini catalog and showed them how to do the cracked Glass technique.  I love this technique it looks so cool and is actually really easy to do.I got this fun idea from Kelly.  You can check out her blog here:   http://stampinparadise.blogspot.com.  I changed it a bit. 

 

 

April '09 Fish Close UpI thought if you are really different than maybe you would be a different color.  I don’t know if you noticed it but this fish is the only one in the set that goes the other way.  Here is a close up of the cracked glass.

April '09 BeachHere is the scrapbook page that I came up with using the card as my inspiration.  I love how simple it is, but it has just a fun summer feel.  We colored the fish with the watercolor wonder crayons and a aqua painter.

April '09 B-dayThis is the second card that my card group made.  I totally cased it from a blog, I tried to find it again so I could tell you who, but I couldn’t.  I changed the saying in the center, but the rest is basically like hers.  I thought it was a really cute card.  The size is actually 5×5 go go in our 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 envelops.  The fish are punched out with the 1 1/4″ Square Punch and then sponged with the pacific point.

 

April '09 B-day InsideWe stamped Happy Birthday from the $10.00 and under page on the inside.  Of course we used Whisper White craft in so that it would show up.

 

Matchbox Thank You BoxesSince I had also just got the Matchbox die of course we had to try that out as well.  Here is our fun projects using the match box die and the designer series paper from the mini catalog Walk in the Park.

Amy’s Meeting

This weekend was spent with my fun stampin’ friends at Amy Johnson’s Annual meeting.   We had a great time.  I learned so much as I always do so be watching for some fun new ideas.  Plus there were some really fabulous swaps.  I will get things posted soon.  I need to download the pictures.  I just wanted to give you a little heads up and say thank you to all the wonderful presenters and to Amy for putting on such an inspirational meeting.  I love being part of a group that has so much support.  If you want to learn more about joining my group give me a call 435-245-5321.

A Sad Day

Yesterday was a sad day for me as I found out several of my favorite presenters at Stampin’ Up!®were among the many that were let go on April 15th.  Due to hard economic times Stampin’ Up! had to make this very difficult decision.  I know that Shelli’s heart is broken over the whole ordeal.  I’m grateful for such a wonderful leader that understands that sometimes difficult things need to be done to preserve the company.  I know that we may not understand everything behind their decisions, but I trust that they did what was best.  I know that we will really miss these presenters at Convention.  I want to personally thank all of the employees that this effected as well as the ones that are still there.  I know that you put your heart and soul into this company and we appreciate you very much.  I love this company.  I hope that all of you will have these people in your hearts as well as all the others out there.  I know that they are among the many that are in my prayers. 

For those of you who don’t know my husband, Marc  has been out of work for the last 6 months.  I’ve been very grateful for the Stampin’ Up! opportunity and that it has provided us a way to help make ends meet.  I’m also very grateful for all of you who have supported me and hope that you will continue to do so.  As April 15th was a sad day for many Stampin’ Up! employees it was actually a very happy day for me.  Marc was offered a good job.  I know it’s not quite what he was making, but it’s definitely going to help turn things around for our family.  I’m grateful that I still have Stampin’ Up! to make up the difference.  Please let me know if there is any way that I can help you.  I have spoken to many of you and know that times are difficult for all of us.  Please know that you are also in my prayers and I appreciate each and every one of you.

jaron-windersI know many of you probably don’t know about the wonderful presenters that I’m talking about.  The three that I know of that were let go are Linda Hansen, Jaron Winders and Lori.  I’m sure many of you have heard me talk about these wonderful presenters at Stampin’ Up! events.   I know that Jaron’s work has also been in many of the catalogs.  Their talents will be missed.  Both Jaron and Linda have blogs if you are interested in learning more about these awesome individuals.  They truly will be missed by many.  I have so much respect for them and their positive outlook towards Stampin’  Up!  To see the blogs just click on one of the links below.  I’ve also included the link to Shelli’s blog where you can read more about her thoughts.  Be sure to check out the comments on each of these sites and you will see how much they are loved.  Stampin’ Up! truly is an awesome company to be a part of.
