Creativity With Stamps

Scrapbook Page in a Frame

Hope everyone has had a nice Memorial Day weekend!

I spent the weekend with the kiddos since hubby took a short trip to Florida for his sister's graduation and we had a ton of fun with all the nice weather we've been having....biking, hiking, eating ice cream watching Kung Fu Panda 2, getting our car wash and playing UNO...so fun!!!

Last week my friend Ellen hosted a workshop.  I normally do one scrapbook page using a photo or two that my hostess wants me to use but this time I turned my 8 1/2 X 11 layout into a frame.  This is Ellen's niece with a smile that just lights up everything around her.

Little Spring Gift Card

Just wanted to do a quick post and show you guys a quick little gift card I made yesterday.  I made the central flower using glossy cardstock and sponging some daffodil delight and tangerine tango.  I then stamped the flower from the "Growing Green" stamp set with versamark and embossed it with winter white embossing powder.  I just used some little tids and bits I had lying around from previous projects to finish it all up.

I hope all the moms in the world had a really super nice Mother's Day!!!

Mini Album Class - Local

Since hubby announced that he will be travelling in May (just announced this to me this past Friday) I had to postpone my plans for my classes to June.

This will be a really intense and fun class packed with detailed instructions on how to make a Summer Interactive Mini Album that flips all over the place.  This album has so many flaps and pockets that it can really pack a lot of pictures and journaling.  Here are a few pics of the album:

And here is a short video that shows the interactive elements of the album:

New Summer Mini 2011 Catalog & Video

Hello Everyone,

Did you miss me?!  I am finally able to get back into the blog world and share a little bit of my creativity and life.  It has been a few crazy weeks of creating up a storm in my studio for the Artisan Award, workshops and classes as well as having 9 fun days with my kids home from Spring Break.  My poor house got a bit neglected and decided I needed to also take a few days to make my home look like a real home before starting things up again with blogging and video tapings.

First and foremost, the new Stampin'Up Summer 2011 Mini Catalog is finally here!!!!

You can click HERE to see all its beautiful pages with new stamps, papers and accessories.

I just did a quick video featuring my most favorite paper packs of all time that is featured in this catalog...so here you go:

Come back tomorrow to see pics and another video on a brand new class that I will be teaching locally very soon!!!
