Would You Like To Be A Featured Artist

Hi there,

Would you like to be a featured artist here on my blog?

All you need to do is mail me or drop off any project, I'll photograph it and feature it in a future post.

The only thing I ask is that you only use Stampin' Up! products - I can not feature projects using non Stampin' Up! products. It would be wonderful if you could use current items that have not yet retired so that my viewers can replicate your creations.

I'm looking forward to making you one of my "Featured Artists".

Shirley's Stamp Club Swap

I've been stamping with Shirley for more than five years now and I'm always amazed at the time, care and detail that she puts into her beautiful cards - this is so glittery and dotty, I love it! Having the big butterfly punch probably saved some time, but wow, fancy cutting out all of those little butterflies. Way to go Shirley!!!

Wow, that was close, I almost didn't get all the swaps posted from our last meeting. I can't wait to see what everyone has created for their swaps tomorrow.

Don't forget to pop by next week and I'll have a bunch of fun Holiday ideas for you!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Sabrina's Swap

I wish you could see how lovely this embossed image looks in person - Super job Sabrina and I love the color combinations.

You inspired me to mount my Ronald McDonald House charity set and use it and I'm absolutely loving it. You'll be seeing samples soon - I'm using it for our scout troop to make cards to send to soldiers in December - can't wait! I'm going to feature every card our boys create - I'm so proud of them!

Pam's Stamp Club Swap

Pam was very creative and turned an ordinary folder into a card pouch, then she got creative and filled it with cards for each of us in our stamp club - Thank You Pam!

Have a fabulous weekend!

Ornament Punch Take 3

I promised to show you why our ornament punch isn't really an ornament punch - do you see what I mean? This card was super simple to make and lots of fun too!

Ornament Punch Take 2

Yes, this card uses the ornament punch too. For the top, I punched a line on designer series paper with the scallop edge punch and then punched the rest out with the ornament punch and snipped off the top.

To create the shiny lower half, I simply squashed my craft pad onto glossy what card, sprinkled it with clear embossing powder, heated it and then punched out the shiny brown card.

Ornament Punch

This week I'd like to feature one of my favorite new punches. I'd like to call it an ornament punch, but as you'll see over the next couple of days, that name just doesn't suit it......

For the first ornament I used designer series paper, then I had a thought, I really wanted to use my certainly celery ribbon for this card but I didn't have any designer series paper that coordinated, then I remembered that a few weeks ago I'd tried stamping on my wedding paper and it hadn't worked because the ink wouldn't adhere over the images already printed on the wedding paper and so I took my brayer and brayered over my wedding paper and there you have it designer series paper in the color of your choice - Hah Wonderful!

Melanie's Big Shot Stamp Club Swap

I keep telling my ladies how hard it is not to use my Big Shot when I'm creating my swaps. Now Melanie has one too and she just couldn't resist either.

Melanie, I'll forgive you just this once for giving me a card with spiders, but only because they are cute - heee heee.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE - HAVE FUN AND STAY SAFE!

Lovely As A Tree

Images © 1990-2010 Stampin' Up!

It never fails, every single year since I became a demonstrator I've been drawn to the stamp set Lovely As A Tree
I love to stamp up the image with my "green" of the season, for some reason it's different every year and then fill in the trunk and some branches with my chocolate chip marker.

Crimping is soooo much fun

With all the leaves that are falling in our yard this week you'd think I'd have had enough of them, but this was too cute not to share.

Change on Textured Impressions Embossing FoldersOctober 20, 2009

Change on Textured Impressions Embossing FoldersOctober 20, 2009

Our Textured Impressions embossing folders currently have an arrow on them that indicates the direction to insert them into the Sizzix Big Shot.

Stampin' Up! have determined that it doesn't matter which edge of the embossing folder you insert into the Big Shot, so we are removing the arrow on all Textured Impressions embossing folders, those that are available now and those we will offer in the future.

This change will not affect the performance of the folders.

If you expect to see an arrow on the embossing folders and are concerned that it is not there, please be assured that the embossing folder will work properly no matter which edge they insert into the Big Shot.

Today my Mom leaves for England, it's always tough when she goes back home, but as she always tells my children - she has to leave so that she can come back.

Last year my Mom was hear for Thanksgiving and so I thought I'd share some pictures of the treats I made then.
