March 09 Samples

Here are the samples for our March 24th monthly stamp class. We are using some of the SAB products as well as the Big Shot to add texture to the cardstock. The Easter card is what I like to call a surprise card - it's a super easy card to make yet looks like it took a long time. Looking forward to seeing you all at class next week!!!

FEB 09 Memories in Minutes Kit

I am so excited to unveil my first installment of my Memories in Minutes Scrap Page Kits. This month's kit is available for purchase now through March 15 for $15.00 if you are local, $18 if you need me to mail it to you. The kit contains all the items shown above, UNASSEMBELED, along with a photo of my layout and directions. My "photos" and directions are simply a guide. I would love to see what you all create with the kit. The idea is to keep the pages simple enough so you aren't spending hours on pages....simple assembly... and add your photos and journaling. The kits are packages nicely with backing protectors so the pages don't bend and are stored in cello bags. Please contact me if you are interested in a kit .....krazeerehead2003@yahoo.com

New Samples with New Catalog Products

Below are samples from my January 09 stamp class. Card #3 is my favorite - we used the new Raspberry Tart designer paper and the new set Sweet Stems. I just love the color combination of this new paper. I see myself using this paper a lot - it's very girly yet still makes a statement.

Here are some new samples I have been working on with some of the new products from the Summer/Spring catalog. I love the new designer papers, especially the new embossed and textured papers. My new favorite stamp set is Good Friend - it has a very retro design to it and I love making samples with it!

Card #1 :

Paper: Pacific Blue, Tangerine Tango, Good Morning Sunshine DSP

Ink: Pacific Blue, Tangerine Tango, Chocolate Chip, Black

Accessories: Pacific Blue striped Ribbon, Chunky Glitter, Glue Pen

Stamp Set: Good Friend

Card #2

Paper: Certainly Celery, Sp Saffron, Tempting Turquoise, Flock Together DSP

Ink: Certainly Celery, Tempting Turquoise, Black

Accessories: Celery and Turquoise Ribbon, Circle and Scallop Punches

Card #3

The cards above are a new fold that I saw on Splitcoast stampers - it's very simple and puts a new twist on the card.

Card #4

INK: Chocolate Chip, So Saffron, Artichoke

Accessories: Scallop Punch (Long), Felt Flowers, Jeweled Brads

Cards #1-#4 are the cards we will be making at this months Stamp Class. I still have space available, so email me asap if you are interested in coming! Card #5 is still in the works, but you won't be disappointed!

These cards I made for my birthday card stash. I got the idea from my friend Rose at her class last month. It uses the Stamp Set Crazy for Cupcakes... I don't own this, but it is now on my wish list. The background paper is NOT Stampin' Up, but I though it was appropriate for the cards themselves.

It's all for you

As most of you know I have been working a full time job with my father for over 5 years now, my part time job at the restaurant for over 13 years and continuing to do Stampin' Up in my "spare time"..hahah!!! I have been wanting to cut back at the restaurant but didn't think I could financially do it, but since this year is all about change and doing things for yourself and doing things for others, I decided to just bite the bullet and talk to my boss at the restaurant. I was sick to my stomach all day over this, I don't want to "let people down". I didn't want to add more to her plate by asking to reduce my shifts to 2 a week instead of 3. But I was given good advice today "follow your heart, do what your heart tells you" So I did....and it went perfect. She completely understood me, as she used to work full and part time as well, and raise a daughter. I feel that now... I have more me time, which means more YOU time. I can now use that deleted shift to "work" at home on creating more classes, get my scrappin kits together (which by the way is now named "Memories in Minutes") and spend time doing what I love to do - create! I have been talking to some of you about this and thank you for all your support. I am looking forward to not only doing something I love, but helping you create and do something you love!
