Under The Stars - Sketer Spray

On July 4th we went to a fabulous party our hostess gave us all patriotic key chains as gifts and when dusk was upon us one kind gentleman came around and sprayed each of us with "Sketer Spray" - All this got me thinking that I could combine both ideas and give these little packets as gifts to guests when they come over to BBQ......


Again I was in a huge hurry when I made these, but they were fun and super fast to make with just a few tools and of course the Under The Stars stamp set.

My children exchange goody bags with their swimming buddies at swim meets and so we popped a Smores Kit and a Sketer Pouch in each of their bags for our last swim meet.

I have to admit that when stamp sets retire, I do actually sell them, but there are some I just know I'll keep and use always and with these fun images, I just know that "Under The Stars" is one of those sets.

Under The Stars Quick Treats

I love creating fun treats to give to friends, but more than that I love to see the look on their face when they receive it - These kits were so much fun to give and receive using the Under The Stars Stamp set......

I used our medium cello bags, which are food grade and I chose to use individually wraped chocolate so that if it got hot it would only melt inside the wrapper. We made some slightly more fancy ones too with hemp twine and tags with a note of thanks, but I forgot to take pictures before we gave them out.

Stay tuned, I have another fun project to show you tomorrow.

17 Years Today

If I could paint a picture, for all the world to see, I'd fill it full of hearts, to show how much you mean to me - No, it's not a Valentine card.......


Today we are celebrating our 17th Wedding Anniversary - I can't believe it!!!! It feels like just yesterday we were standing in Church in the Village where I grew up in England saying our vows.......

I've truly had the best 17 years of my life with my "DH".

Choo Choo Didn't Retire - Wahoooooo!!

I was so happy when I saw that "Choo Choo" #113982 made it into the big book this year.

Don't you just love the "Right on Track" wheel #113838 that coordinates perfectly with it?

I have just one problem with "Right on Track" - it looks like a fence to me - I have this dreadful habit of seeing things that other folks don't and I just can't turn them into tracks - LOL

Check out page 83 of the new catalog to find these fun things!

Projects I Like

For the most part I try to feature projects using current stamp sets, colors, papers etc. Once in a while I just like to visit old friends - after all you all have many of the items in your cupboards and it's nice for you to see a project to inspire to use what you already have.

This is another one of those cute "memory folders" - I've shown you some others recently and I' hope you've enjoyed them. Have you ever thought of doing something like this and just taking pictures of your "favorite things" and making a memory folder of those? Why not give it a try.

Scrapbooking Tips

Have you ever looked at a scrapbook page that's a work of art, but the problem is that it's the work of art you see first and not the picture? When it comes to scrapbooking I want the first thing you see to be the picture.

Journaling is another one of those things that doesn't always come naturally to me...... The way I think of it is - If I could stand next to the person looking at the picture and tell them about it, what would I say, then I journal that, or maybe there is a fun story that goes with the picture and so I try to journal that.

I don't consider myself a "scrapbooker" - I just happen to like "scrapbooking" and so I just apply lessons I've learned through life into my scrapbooking - for example, my Mom said when you are building a flower arrangement always use odd numbers and the rule of three for colors, so when I stamp I use odd numbers of the same image and when I'm choosing colors I generally use three colors or three shades - you can always add more later.

I didn't create the page below, but I just wanted to show you how simple pages can be and how nice it is that the photo is the feature and the page just enhances it.

Another Fun Card

It's difficult to show you in the picture, but the inside of this card is the same as the butterfly one I showed you a few days ago and when you open it, "Stampin' Up!" looks like it's floating, these are so much fun to give and receive.

Stay tuned, I have a few more examples to show you in the coming days....

Memory Folders

A few days ago I showed you a mini memory folder using business envelopes. Here's another one for you to see - sorry the light wasn't very good when I was taking the picture, but I thought it might inspire you.

This is a fun way to "dip your toe" into the wonderful world of scrapbooking....... I like to think of them as "capture a moment" keepsakes.

Summer Memories

We're spending the summer making memories, I'm loving every minute of it, but I know I'll be happy when things are less rushed in the winter too so that I can scrapbook some of those memories.

In the mean time, here's a really simple page that I hope will inspire you to create quick pages that capture the moment through the summer.

Blog Posting Issues

Hi there,

Some of you may have noticed that my blog isn't updated as often as normal. This is because of a fix that is being worked on. If my posts won't publish on a particular day, please come back because all the posts I intended to post "will" get posted and so some days there may be more than one. Hopefully this error will be fixed soon - Thank You for your understanding.

Forest Friends

I couldn't be happier that our "Forest Friends" stamp set made it from the Occasions Mini into the new catalog - You'll find it on page 109 #113748.

Stay tuned, I'll have some new samples soon.
