This card is really fun because when you pll the string it pops up and you can set it on your counter. I’m not sure who came up with the original design, but I made this card at one of Janice’s Club nights.

It features the Big Bold Birthday set #114926 $28.95. I’m really excited because now they have a Stampin’ Up! exclusive Sizzlits’ 4-pack dies for the Big shot that match this great set 114509 $21.95. I can’t wait to get it and try it out. What fun we can have.

If you look close you can see the wheel that was rolled on the basic part of the card to create a background. (red part) Wheels are a really great way to add a little depth to a project. They are so fast and easy.

Sometimes we think we need to get really complicated when we are scrap-booking. My up-line Amy Johnson taught me that in most cases we just need to keep it simple. Her favorite way to scrapbook is using quick strips.

Here are some fun quick strips I made with the sports stamps. A few of the items are retired, but you can see how to take the same basic idea a create different pages just by how you put them together. You can save time and money with this simple layout. Noticed how I just changed the way the strips were layed out and the accent pieces to create 4 different looks.

This was a swap that I got at Brandi’s meeting. I thought it was a really cute idea. It’s something fun a different so I thought it fit with Wacky Wednesday.

I love how they used to popcicle stick and how they have the worm inside the apple. I just think it’s cute.

106700 Bugs and Kisses $25.95. This set is on the dormant list which means it’s not listed in the Spring/Summer ’09 catalog but you can still purchase it. Click here to see more items on the dormant list.

I love this all in the family set but often times I’ve heard “I wouldn’t be able to line that up.” Then I just say it’s easy with the stamp-a-ma-jig. All you have to do is stamp the image on your imaging sheet then line it up where you want it remove the imaging sheet and line the stamp up with the jig and stamp. Perfect every time.

However this set has lots of little pieces and I didn’t want to wipe off my imaging sheet every time so I came up with this. I used the little celo bags and stamped one image in each corner (I used StazOn ink). This way I didn’t need to keep wiping them off. Then I just saved the bags and I have it ready to go any time I want to use this great set.

This fun page was created for my sister. It was the front of the Calender I made her for Christmas.

Here is a close up of the cute little family. In the set you can choose the head, body, feet and arms for all the larger family members. There are also lots of fun accessories you can add as well as a cat and a dog.
