Weekly Challenge – Page 8 – Stampin' With Candice

Technique Tuesday 2-17-09

Today I thought I would share with you a cute project that we did at a recent workshop. It you would be interested in doing this fun project at your own workshop give me a call 435-245-5321.

This is a simple technique but I love it. It’s simply looking at a card or scrapbook page and using the layout for the opposite. That means use a scrapbook page layout for a card or a card layout for a scrapbook page. I really love it when I can use the same layout for both.

Here is my example. I used the exact same supplies and lay out to create this fun 3×6 card.

Then I did it as a 6×6 scrapbook page. By moving the stamped image and adding the photo it give it a whole new look.

I really love this concept for a gift because you can make the cute page and them make a matching card.

This is a picture of me with my friend Deborah. She is one of the demonstrators I met at Leadership last year. This picture was taken at Convention when we both earned Hawaii. One of the best parts of becoming a demonstrator has been the friends I’ve made. Weather they are in my down-line or just our group it so awesome because I never would have met them if it weren’t for Stampin’ Up!® If you want to find out more about the benefits of becoming a demonstrator click here.

Marvelous Monday 2-16-09

Recently I was able to preview the new Spring Mini Catalog (just one of the many perks of becoming a demonstrator. Can I just say “So cute” I can’t wait. Be watching for a Sneak peek and pre-order items for customers starting March 1st. Anyway I was looking back through some old projects and remember this scrapbook page that I entered into a contest last year. Although the paper and many of the accessories are now retired (it was last years spring mini) I thought the idea would inspire you and remind you that our mini catalog items are for a limited time only so start planning today. April and May are great times to have a Stampin’ Up!® party.

This was my son Mikey on his Kindergarten field trip. I just love how the chipboard elements add depth to the page. These pages used last year’s In-Colors. Remember the current In-Colors are only available until the end of June. Stock up now to make sure you get your favorites.

I really love this page. The big pictue was my favorite. I loved that I was able to print the pictuers to just the right size with my pictue printer (HP Photosmart D7360) I love it.

Swapping Saturday 2-14-09

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.

I 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

This 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.

Here’s a close up of the bird and flowers. I love the glitter.

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.

This 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.

Thrifty Thursday 2-12-09

Today we had to make lots of Valentine’s for my son’s classes. So we decided to make the same fun project. My son, Mikey had a lot of fun helping to make them. Then we put them in bags so the candy would stay in when he gave them out. I love making the Valentine’s because they get something fun and different.

It was also nice because one of my other sons told me last minute that he need some as well. He’s in middle school so I didn’t think he needed them. Thankfully I had extra Candy and Paper already so it was easy to make more for him. Once again Stampin’ Up!© saves the day.
