Blaine's Graduation Party

Hi Stampers,

Today I would like to share with you a couple of banners my friend Cindy made for her son's graduation party. (Hi Cindy!)

Using the Big Shot and Pennant Bigz XL Die Cindy and her daughter, Amanda, cranked out card stock like pros. :o) They also used the Scallop Circle Bigz Die and Serif Essentials Alphabet Bigz Dies and as you can see from the two photos below they cut a lot of card stock. What a great way to spend time with your daughter! :o)

Each and every scallop circle and letter was adhered using Tombo Multi Purpose Adhesive. The pennants were tied with Whisper White 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon, while Card Stock used was Night of Navy and Whisper White.

"Congratulations Blaine" was on the front side of the house.



And "Way to Go Blaino" was out back until it rained and got moved inside.


Blaine is very active in sports, and his dad always yells "Way to Go Blaino" so it was a no brainier to have a banner that said that for Blaine's special day. :o)

Cindy and Amanda got very creative on the spacers between the words. Look closely and you will see that the white pennants have a star stamped in the middle.

GREAT JOB CINDY and THANKS for letting me share them on my blog today.

And THANKS to the rest of you for stopping by today!
Georgia

p.s. Remember to get your orders in before 5pm on Sunday to take advantage of my FREE SHIPPING promotion. . see yesterday's post for all of the details.

AND. . . . next Saturday, June 6th starting at 10am I have a make and Take Class at the Well in Monmouth. Cost is $20 and you'll be stamping 4 12x12 scrapbook pages and 8 cards. RSVP by 6/4 so I have time to cut supplies.

2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalog

Hi Stampers!

I'm so excited. . . . Can you believe that the new catalog is coming soon!!! July 1st is the magic day! Catalogs have been preordered and are expected to arrive the end of June. If you are in one of my card clubs you will get your catalog for FREE, as soon as I get them. If you are not in a card club you can still get your catalog for FREE, just book a workshop for July or August. . . . or you can always purchase a catalog for $9.95.

If you don't want to wait until the catalog until the end of June/1st of July, there is another option to get your catalogs the first part of June. . . that's right STAMPERS. . you can be flipping through the new catalog within the next 2 weeks. Are you wondering how this is possible and what you need to do to achieve this? All you have to do is sign up with me to become a demonstrator. . . and until Sunday, May 31st you can join for only $75, when you purchase the Scrapbooking Starter Kit. Click HERE for more details and HERE to see what's in the starter kit!


Once you become a demonstrator you will receive visits from your own Mr. Brown. Above is my Mr. Brown. I have a Mrs. Brown too, but she is so fast I never have my camera out when she comes. The photo above was taking last summer and "Mr. Brown" is actual bringing me boxes of new catalogs. He was thrilled when I told him he would be on my blog. :o)


The Last Chance list (formerly know as the retirement list) will be released on June 1st!!! The way I understand it there will be 3 Last Chance Lists:

Last-chance stamp set list!
Last-chance accessories list!*
Last-chance Décor Elements list!

*Last-chance accessories list is updated daily. Items will be removed from ordering as they become unavailable, which means items on these lists will only be available while supplies last. SO . . if you have any accessories on your wish list that have In Colors in them you will want to purchase them ASAP.

Georgia ONLY Promotion! - Place a $40 order with me before 5pm on Sunday, May 31st you will receive FREE SHIPPING, which saves you 10%!!! What a great time to stock up on the soon to be retired accessories! Please note - that you must e-mail or call me with you order as I am unable to discount orders placed via my website. If you don't have a copy of the current catalog you can always "window shop" online by clicking HERE and then click SHOP NOW in the top right corner of the page. After you have your list picked out just shoot me an e-mail and I'll take care of the rest!

OK . . now it's sample time. At the April StampAttics meeting someone brought a stamp sign made using the Big Shot, Scallop Circle Bigz Die and Serif Essentials Alphabet Bigz Dies. I just knew I wanted to CASE (copy and share everything) it and finally had a chance. You can view her stamp sign HERE. (I'm sorry I don't know who made this sign. If you brought this sign to the StampAttics meeting send me an e-mail, so I can give proper credit.)

For my stamp sign I wanted to keep it simple, so I just used the Raspberry Tart Designer Paper (DSP), which is on sale this month. But before I ran it through my Big Shot I adhered it to some chipboard to make it thick.

I wanted to draw the pink out of the DSP, so I choice Rose Red Card Stock. Another reason for choosing Rose Red Card Stock was because I had Rose Red Double Stitched Ribbon on hand. :o)



This was so fun and easy to make. Using my multipurpose glue I put it together in a matter of minutes while watching a NCIS rerun with Rocky last night. It would be very easy to add embellishments like brads, buttons or more ribbon, but I wanted to KISS (Keep It Simple Stampers) this project. . . . so . . . DSP, card stock and ribbon is all I needed!

Thanks for stopping by today and make sure to send me an order before 5pm on Sunday to take advantage of FREE SHIPPING!

I hope you have a very productive day!

Flower Fusion Too

Hi Stampers!

Yesterday I showed you altered paperclips made with the Flower Fusion pieces. Today I would like to show you some using the Flower Fusion Too pieces. Flower Fusion Too is made up of 14 flower designs (more than 130 individual pieces) in 3 colors: Pink Pirouette, Baja Breeze and Chocolate Chip.


I even made a few paperclips that used both Flower Fusion and Flower Fusion Too. I just love how the colors work with each other.


Thanks for stopping by today and remember if ANYTHING with an In Color in it is on your wish list (like the Flower Fusion Too) you will want to order it soon. The retired accessory list will be released soon and everything with In Colors will be listed on it.

Flower Fusion

Hi Stampers,

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. . . I did. Mine weekend was spent camping with Rocky and Blake in Alpha, IL. It was so much fun but also a little stressful. This was our first camping outing of the year and only our 2nd ever camping trip with our new camper. We got most of the bugs worked out and are already looking forward to our next camping trip. So first a couple pictures from the weekend.

This first picture is of Rocky and Blake. Thank goodness Rocky got the "fake grass" to lay out in front of the camper. It was a very nice place for Blake to play.



The second picture if of me and Blake. Here we are making Taco Pie in the Dutch Oven. This is a camping favorite and we always make it when we go out.



The final picture is of Blake. He found a dirt pile not to far from the camper and then got it all over himself. Thank goodness the camper has a bath tub. :o)

OK on to stamping. . . today samples use Flower Fusion (1100720 $14.95). I love using these custom colored felt flowers and they will add an eclectic dimension to any of your projects. You get 130 pieces packaged in a fun tin.

Card club members got to use Flower Fusions on a card last month, but today I'm going to show you some altered paperclips I made last night.

The colors that come in the Flower Fusion are: Pumpkin Pie, Rose Red and Old Olive. There is also a Flower Fusion Too that has Pink Pirouette, Baja Breeze and Chocolate Chip.


As you can see there are lots of options on how to layer the Flower Fusion pieces.


Here is a close up of one of the paper clips. As you can see I used a clear Rhinestone Brad to hold the flowers together. The brad also is used to attach the flower to the paperclip.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Together Forever

Hi Stampers,

As I mention yesterday with getting ready for card clubs and camping I have not had anytime to "fun" stamp and since we are camping this weekend I'm without Internet access. . {Gasp!} . . I hope I can make it until Monday. We have a grad party Saturday night and need to run by the house first, so if I have time I'll check e-mail then. :o)

Since I have nothing new to share with you the next couple post will be of card samples from the SU website. I didn't want to post not so I thought if I share samples (even if I didn't stamp them) you still could be inspired. :o) Supplies are listed below the card.

6 X 6 Baby Girl Scrapbook

Hi Stampers,

Today I would like to share with you a 6x6 scrapbook "aka" brag book album I had the pleasure to make. For this album I used the Real Red Linen Ring Album (105387 $16.95) and the Rock-a-Bye Girl (112165 $19.95) Simply Scrappin Kit. The Simply Scrappin Kits are complete with self-adhesive dies cuts, patterned paper and card stock. I started by trimming the sheets with my paper cutter to create 6x6 inch pages.

The scrapbook comes with 10 page protectors. Since I knew I would make more than 20 pages I purchase a package of extra page protectors ($6.95 104521), which gave me an additional 20 page protectors with a possibility of 40 additional 6x6 pages.




As you can see scrapbooking is simple!!! I made this 42 page album with just one scrapbook kit. Of course I added a few embellishments like ribbon, jumbo eyelets, rhinestone brads and flower brads to dress up the pages, but even without them you can make an awesome scrapbook! Scrapbooks make wonderful gifts!

Remember May is National Scrapbooking Month, so make a goal to do an album or even a few pages before next Sunday!

Have a Wonderful Weekend!

Baby Onesie!

Hi Stampers!

Have you ever been invited to a baby shower only to find you have no baby stamps? If so, I have the PERFECT card for you today. This card would also make for a very cute baby shower invitation.

I have seen many variations of onesie. For this one I used Almost Amethyst Card Stock. First I cut it at 4-1/4 x 11 and folded it in half. Then I measured down from the top 1-1/2" and made a little mark. Then I measured in 1" from the first mark and made another mark. (connect these to marks with a strait line.)

Then I took my ruler and drew a line from the second mark all of the way down to the bottom corner. Do this on both sides and then cut on your lines.


Next using your 1-3/8" Circle Punch punch neck and leg holes in the onesie. Using the Scallop Circle Punch and 1-3/8" Circle Punch I punched Whisper White Card Stock to line the neck and leg holes.

I finished this card by applying a little bit of Whisper White Card Stock on the arm holes and the "snaps" on the bottom are Gold Brads.

Would you like to make this card? I still have room in my Tuesday Card Club that starts TONIGHT or my Wednesday Card Club that starts TOMORROW! Let me know ASAP if you'd like to join me.

Thanks for stopping by and Have a GREAT day!

Pun Fun

Happy Monday Stampers. . .

Tomorrow is the first session of the 3rd Tuesday of the month club. . . don't worry . . . there is still room if you'd like to join!

One of cards you get to make at card club this month is a quick and easy kid birthday card. I used the stamp set Pun Fun to whip out this 3 x 3 card.


For the colors I got out my color coach and found the color combination: Apricot Appeal, Cameo Coral and Bashful Blue. Other good colors to use could have been Certainly Celery or Lavender Lace.

I stamp the image in Basic Black Classic Ink and colored it in with my markers. For the corners of the Whisper White Card Stock I used my Tag Corner Punch.

Using the color coach and different color combinations this card could really change to suit the recipient.

Thanks again for stopping by today!
