Here's a layout that I did for a sketch challenge in the "28 Days" class that just wrapped up at Big Picture Scrapbooking. Just a list of what I did on a particular day. This will be fun to look back on in 10 years or so, to see how different life might be. Materials used: Noteworthy patterned paper (Making Memories), Blue Sky and Baroque Burgundy cardstock (Stampin' Up!) Thickers foam letters (American Crafts), and Rhinestone Brads (Stampin' Up)
So I'm cleaning out my stamping stash in advance of our garage sale this weekend (in conjunction with the Village-Wide Garage Sale). The interesting things that are coming to the surface never cease to amaze me. So far the treasures I've unburied include: a full box of 20 Tazo teabags from Starbucks (best before March 2005); full packages of Stampin' Up! forms dated 2003 and 2004; lots of candy and chocolates (oh, the waste!) from past swaps going back to 2003, including some fossilized giant gumballs; and what seems to be thousands and thousands of cards and cardfronts! Since I've given up demonstrating for Stampin' Up! I'm looking to clean house, so if you're interested in picking up stamp sets at bargain-basement prices, drop me an email or comment on this post and I'll let you know the specifics on the sale.

Didja know that Saturday was National Scrapbooking Day? Well, it was. And I didn't manage to get in a while lot of scrapbooking. I tried, I really did, but it just wasn't meant to be. I did manage to get one 2-page spread done. Just one, but it's better than nothing! These pages were created using Stampin' Up's Summer Days Simply Scrappin Kit. I love the colors in the kit — Bashful Blue, Pumpkin Pie, Wild Wasabi, and Real Red. They coordinate perfectly with the Diecut Blooms that are featured in the current mini catalog as well (so I threw a few of those in there too). If you want to see more great pages created with this kit, head over to my friend Stacey's blog.
For those of you who missed out on the “Beat the Winter Blues” Stamp Camp last weekend, you missed a great day with lots of great prizes and projects. Here are photos of the projects we made. First, a stunning gift box with coordinating card. This presentation will really knock someone’s socks off! The box was created using two of my favorite new products from the Spring Summer Collection — the Embrace Life stamp set and coordinating Ginger Blossom Designer Series Paper.
Next, we created a bunch of cards, many of them using sets from the Sale-A-Bration promotion. At the end of the day everyone went home with 7 hand-stamped cards and a beautiful gift box (and many people brought home free stamps, embellishments, and hand-made door prizes!). Not a bad take for two-and-a-half hours of work!
As Eloise would say, “Oh, my Lord.” I totally forgot to tell you all, devoted readers, about the NEW Stampin’ Up! Spring-Summer Collection 2008 catalog! Well, it’s here, and it’s beautiful. Lots of great new stamp sets, some really gorgeous new Designer Series Papers, and tons of new accessories, including rub-ons, felt flowers, and more. Why doncha call me to book a workshop, then you’ll have one for your very own!
