Covention Swaps Group 3

Wahoo I got another group done already.

I am so in love with this page.  I think it’s so cute and so well done.  First the colors are great, second I love the stamp set and third the which feet accent is just adorable.  It was created by Lynda Day.  In fact I almost didn’t get this fabulous page because of a mix up in times.  I’m so glad we were able to work it out a get it because it’s terrific.

Wicked Cool
#118738 Wood $19.95
#120600 Clear $14.95

Another great layout by another great stamper.  This was created by Stacie Jensen.  I’ve been asked several times which DSP was used so I thought I would let you know it’s not, it’s actually a stamp set so any one can create it.

Growing Green
#118758 Wood $21.95
#120624 Clear $16.95

This cute page was created by Kathryn Whittaker.  What makes the page so fun is all the strips of Designer Series Paper in the background.  They really make the page fun.

#117167 Greenhouse Gala $9.95
#113510 Schoolbook Serif Alphabet $43.95

I know I should have posted this sooner since it uses the fun set from the mini that just retired, but I still love the layout and it can be very in so many other ways.  It was created by my up-line Janice Barlow.  The unique thing about this page is she used the die cuts from the big shot as a template to sponge the letters.

This last one was created by my awesome friend Maxine Conrad.  What you can’t see is that she used textured card-stock for the family as well as for the Cherry Cobbler Strips.  It’s so easy to add your pictures to the adorable page.

#115960 Alphabet Simple Letters Dies $89.95

One more set so be watching.

I’m finally finding some time to get to then next cute set of Convention swaps.  Hope you enjoy them.

This was created by Jessica Hiltz.  It’s such a fun and easy layout, but it’s so cute.  I really love the color combination as well.

#116716 Animal Stories $15.95
#111254 Classic Stars Jumbo Wheel $8.50

Sorry I don’t know the awesome creator of this page.  It uses one of my favorite Designer Series Papers.  It’s perfect for just about anything from a fun spring pages to and awesome family page.  You can even turn the pages around or switch sides to make it work for you.

#117163 Elegant Soiree DSP $9.95
#115778 Circle Circus $28.95

This page just screams summer to me and I love it.  It was created by Becky Kittaka.  The color combination’s are so fun and have so much energy it just brightens your day to look at it.  You can’t see it, but the summer fun die cuts are embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots Folder.  It really adds a lot to the page.

#117168 Play Date DSP $9.95
#119747 Brights Designer Buttons $8.95
#115960 Alphabet Simple Letters Dies $89.95
#117335 Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folders $7.95

My totally terrific up-line Brandi Barnard created this darling page.  I love how simple it is.  She even created the girl bear so we could switch it out if we need too.  Of course I will most likely keep it the boy since I have all boys, but I can sure turn the cute little bear into a fun card.  What you can’t see of course is that she used crystal effects on the balloons to make them all shinny.  It’s so cute.

#119278 Basic Birthday Die $21.95
#118052 Beary Best Friends $18.95

Doesn’t this page just make you happy.  I love it.  It just makes me smile.  It was created by my good friend Ashley VanCamp.  She’s so talented.  I love that she used the new owl punch.  It’s so cute.

Covention Swaps 12 x 12 group 1

Sorry I’ve been missing in action we’ve had internet problems and I’ve had camera issues, but I’m back and with some fabulous swaps form convention. The last group I did was 12 x 12 pages. There were actually two group for this one. Because there are so many I’m going to break them up in 4 groups. So enjoy!

There is no particular order here and I will try and let you know who did each one (hopefully they are all marked.)  Thanks again to everyone who participated all of the pages are great.   I’ve already used some for Club and I’m looking forward to adding pictures to them.

First up is mine.  I used the awesome Awash with Flowers Set.  It’s hard to tell but the flowers are done with a fun technique that gives you a water color look even though it’s a solid stamp.

This page is so fun and so cute.  In fact I used it for club last month.  With just one change.  Her cute sand is actually made with real sand paper.  I created it with the awesome log cabin spray.  I just love all the fun punch art on this page as well.  It was created by Natalie Cottle.

Can I say I’m in love.  This page is adorable.  It was made by Melanie Williams and she would say it’s a little Cheese.  I would have to agree.  The cheese is so cute I love how easy it is to make just using all of our different circle punches.  Plus doesn’t the hamburger just look good enough to eat.  She even added texture to the bun by using the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder.

#117335 Perfect Polka Dots $7.95

On the Grill
#116970 Wood $23.95

The last fun page for today was created by Deanne Henderson.  I love how simple it is yet very I catching.  There’s so much detail in all the flowers.  Off course they were created with our great punches again.  What you can’t see very well is the fun Rhinestones in the center of the small flowers.  With 150 per package it’s so easy to add fun bling to your page.

3D Convention Swaps

One of the other swaps I hosted at Convention was a 3D swap.  I love this one because I get lots of great class ideas.

Here’s the front of the project I made.  It’s a star book that is a 6×6 size.  You can see all of the great projects under the Convention Swaps 2010 they are featured after the fabric swaps or you can click here. Thanks for checking them out.

Back from Convention

I’m back from Convention and so excited to share everything with you.  Convention was fabulous as usual.  Of course there were tons of great ideas.  I did my swaps again this year so I thought I would share them with you.  I was in charge of three different swaps this year: a fabric swap using the Big Shot, a 3D swap and a 12 x 12 Double Scrapbook Layout.  So far I have the fabric swaps up so you can check them out.  Just image how much fun you could have making these projects with your own Big Shot.  I’d love to show you how just give me a call, plus you can check out all these great projects in person.

To see the fun swaps just click here. You can also find them under Samples-Swaps-Convention 2010.  Check backs so to see the great Hostess Promotion as well as the other swaps I got.

Stampin’ Sunday 3-22-09

Our small group decided that we wanted to do a wow card swap in Hawaii.  Of course I didn’t figure out my card until two-o-clock in the morning the night before I was leaving, but hey at least I figured it out.  I actually finished making them on the plane ride from Maui to the Big Island.

birthday-pop-up-cardBecause it was a wow card I really wanted to use something fun.  We have two new die that are available April 1st.  They are pop up dies.  The Cake Pop-up Die and the Ball Pop-Up Die.  I pre-ordered the cake so I just had to try it out.  It’s really fun beacuse it pops up out of the card when you open it.  It is thick so you really need something to hold it closed.  I decided to put a ribbon around it that slides off. 

birthday-pop-up-card-insideHere is the inside of the card.  I should have decorated the cake a bit more.  I think I’m going to add some pretty in pink 1/4″ grosgrain ribbon to the middle layer.

I will add a better picture with the ribbon around it.
