Stamp Club 2012

A new year, so some new members in our 2012 Stamp Club.  We met yesterday and had a great time!  We got to play with new tools/toys........so much fun!

Here are the girls using the new "Edgelit Die", so cool, everyone loved it and no problems using it, yay!!  Can you see Sheila being her usual "precise" sefl!  Love it!

 
Ms Rosie is using the "Framelits" die, easy peasy, everyone loved these neat and cute little dies!

 
I love how our stamp club group works together as a "team" and help each other out when needed (usually it's because they've been chatting and not "listening" to my instructions, lol).

We are using the fabulous new Twitterpated Fabric and will be using the matching Twitterpated Designer Series Paper for our matching card.  Love, love our new goodies!

 
Sweet Emily was embarassed I was taking her picture, but she was sweet enough to let me do it anyway.  She is so beautiful, and we have been friends for YEARS!!!  Love ya Em!!

 
Here they are putting together their fabric bookmarks they will eventually become once we are done.

Ahhhh, success! Bookmarks done, aren't they gorgeous?   Great job ladies!

 
Shelly and Barbara showing us thier fabulous bookmarks and their matching cards.  Beautiful girls...:-)

Here is Beth, I am so proud of her!  She just started stamping in August and look at her fabulous project, she is already a Pro!  Great job Beth!!

 
Mary and Sheila with their completed projects....I think we had a successful Stamp Club meeting girls, yes?

And I end here with the fabulous Rosie!  Is she just not a hoot!  Who would have thought you could use your bookmark as a headband! lol.....I LOVE YOU sweet Rosie!!!

Here is my completed bookmark... I love it!  Next time I think we can add some Tulle to give it some pouf....lol!

 

Until the next  time, remember to hug the ones you love, none of us are promised "tomorrow"!

             

 

Stamp Club Thank You

Hello my lovelies!

We had our final Stamp Club for my 2011 group a few weeks ago, and I give the girls a little "thank you" in their goodie bags when I deliver their product.

Here is a sample of what they received this month!

Aren't they adorable?  I want to thank our fabulous Stampin' Up demo's who love to share.......Cindee Wilkinson, you can check her blog here Sandi McIver here.

I changed them up a bit, by adding my gals their initial on the Elf Apron.  You know I LOVE Bling!!

Here is a close up of the initials.

And a close up of the little Elf shoes.  I think they are stinkin' cute!

Here is what I used to make these adorable Elves (first a quick note, the cello bags are in the Holiday Mini which ends 1/4/12, so if you "need" these, be sure and order them before then.....here.

Garden Green and Real Red Cardstock, Silver Glimmer Paper, Red Glimmer Paper, Cello Bags, Buttons #5 Sizzlit, Glue Dots,  Snow Bust Embossing Folder, Timeless Type Junior Alphabet, Extra Large Oval Punch, 1" circle punch, Top Note Die, 5-Petal Punch, mini jingle bells (again from Holiday Mini ending 1/4/12), Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine and your favorite candy/item to fill your bag!

Fall Candle

Hello my lovelies,

We had our monthly Stamp Club last Saturday and we made this adorable candle, using the "Gently Falling" stamp set.  One of my favs from the Holiday Mini!

Love the fall colors.  Here are my lovelies enjoying themselves.

A whole "lotta heat a goin' on".....lol  Sorry, had to say that!  We used our heat guns to "embed" the stamped tissue onto the candle.

Tracy done with her candle, working on her order, Beth looking lovely as always, and Sheila enjoying her snack.... :-)
Fontainne and Ms. Rosie.  See that cute Halloween tree next to Fontainne?  It's a tradition that I raffle (give it away) after the season is over, and guess who won it?  Yup, Ms. Fontainne did, and this picture was taken "before" she won it!

Rhonda always ready with a sweet smile....:-)

Shelly paying very close attention to her heating, you don't want to overheat the candle and melt it!

 
Jenny, she is "always' the sweetest to help me clean up, and she clean as she goes too.  Gotta love my girls!!!

Ahhhhh, that is my precious grandson Ryan Jesse in the green shirt.  He has gotten so stinkin' big!!!  It was just yesterday he was born, now he is 3 1/2......gheeeeeez!!

OK, back to our candle........what, I am a Grammy, I get side tracked when my boy is around..... ;-)

Until the next  time, remember to hug the ones you love, none of us are promised "tomorrow"!

Fontainne and Rosie making those fabulous Rosettes (or you may know them as medallions, or lollies), whatever you call them, they are gorgeous and easy, thanks to our Simply Scored Tool from Stampin' Up.....oh yeah baby!

Stamp Club Beauties

Hello my lovelies,

We had our Stamp Club yesterday and what a glorious beautiful Fall Day it was.......it was in the 80's and gorgeous!  Wish I would have had our class outside.  But I digress.....

Here are some shots of our lovelies and class................

Ali, Fontainne, and Mary having a good 'ol time!

Here is Rhonda with the card we worked on.  We used one of my favorite Flower Stamp Sets, "Field Flowers" form the big catty.  Love it!

 
Beth and Tracy creatin' away.  They are the sweetest women you would ever want to meet.....love them, but then I love ALL of my gals!

Mary loves using a hammer to flatten down the back of some of our biggers brads, like the "antique brads" we used on our card.

Here is lovely Ali.  Remember I showed you a sneak peek of their "thank you" gift......well here it is, it's the black vampire milk carton designed by Monika Davis (instructions can be found here on her website), and then on the right is her completed card, love both of them.

Lucinda one of my downline came by and we put her to creatin', but she wouldn't look up for me, said she had no makeup on, but trust me, she "does not need any" makeup, she is beautiful inside and out!

Fontainne and Mary with their finished cards.....boootiful!

Beth and Tracy working on their order, now that is "work" trying to figure out what from your "wish list" to order, lol!!!

Here is a sample of the card we made.  Love the vintage look, can you tell?

Close up.

Card #2

We used the "faux bow technique" make a beautiful bow and easy peasy!

Well, that's it for today, come back and visit soon, will have more to share my friends.

Remember to hug the ones you love!

 

 

Stamp Club Sneak Peek

Hello my lovelies!

I am a "sneak peek" to share with you today.  We are having our Stamp Club meeting this Saturday and I have a cute thank you for my peeps!

Bet you "can" guess what it is, right?

 

More to come.............. :-)

 

 

Remember to hug the ones you love!

 

 

 

Convention Swap and more

Hello my lovely peeps!  I wanted to share the card I made to swap at Convention (later I will post some of the swaps I received).

My camera is acting up again, I apologize for the blurry photo....Anywho, here it is, I used the lucious Poppy Parade CS and Designer Paper to make this cute Pinwheel card.  I added a stick typically found in the baking area of your local store and Tombow glued it to the card.  Of course I had to use are beautiful new ribbon punch to add a little pizzaz!!  Made 120 of these, not as many as I would have liked to make, but they took a lot of time and thanks to my daughter-in-law Lynn, I got them all done in 2 days!!

Here is picture of the Stamp Club Card we made in July (yes I know I am late, a lot going on lately, my bad).

We used the new and "very" versitile stamp set called "Easy Events" and we used our watercolor paper (love, love, love this paper), makes coloring in the duck easy peasy and "No Streaks"!!!  I also used our new Penant die, sweet!!  You see at theme here, I am loving that Poppy Parade cardstock..... :-)

Here is a close up of the card, no streaks, take my word for it, because this blurry picture won't show it for sure (so sorry).....

Now, I am showing you a sneak peek of something I am going to give all my demo's who attend our "Luv2stampinGeorgia" Team Retreat here in my home at the end of this month!

What do you think?  I love it!  I was so excited to find these, I think my girls are going to love this too.

Well, until next time, remember to hug the ones you love!!!

Stamp Club having a BLAST!!!

I just love, love, love when our Stamp Club gets together and as you can see below, so do the gals!

Ms Rosie and the "lovely" Fontainne are smiling as they put together their "Dresser Card" (which I CASED for the fabulous Jackie Topa....she rocks and shares.....:-)

Here is one of her "semi-long distance Stamp Club memebers Samantha S.....she lives over an hour away and joined us in person, I was SO EXCITED to meet her in person!!!!

Creatin' away......

Yup, craft room still not ready.......hoping we can meet downstairs in my "newly renovated" room very soon (hint, hint dear darling husband...... :-)

 
Oooooooooohhhhhhh how I LOVE my gals!  They are the sweetest women I know....muah!

Lisa (school teacher), Sheila (attorney at law), Samantha (daughter soon to wed).......we have a host of lovely women who attend, love them ALL!!!

 
Here is one of the cute cards we made using the "Blossom Petal Punch", yup Sheila was correct, I kept calling it the "Build a Blossom Punch", but Noooooooooooooo I was wrong and Sheila was right......oh well....the Stamp Set name is "Build A Blossom"........Sheila was quite proud she was RIGHT and I was WRONG....lol

 

Here is a close up of the flowers, as you can see just be inking the ends up and using our paper piercer, a few dimensionals adds a ton of interest to this 3D card.

Here is the dresser card from Jackie Topa's blog, you must visit her, she is fabulous!

A close up of those adorable roses.....they are from the "build a bear" line and this little embosslit is RETIRING, OH NO, order it today, before they are all gone!  Shop here.
