The Holiday Mini Is Here

A few weeks ago I posted raving about the new Holiday Mini - now I have to post again to let you know how popular the Candy Countdown Calendar Kits are - I showed it to some wonderful ladies yesterday and they couldn't resist them - one lady ordered four kits as gifts - another is using at as her craft for the children while the Thanksgiving turkey cooks, several others are sending them as gifts to Europe because they are so unique and light to mail...

- Why am I telling you all this? Because Candy Countdown Calendar Kits are only available "while supplies last" and if they are flying off the shelf for everyone else, and you'd like to place an order, please, please don't wait - I'd hate for you to miss out.

Also check out our fabulous designer series paper, you have to see it to believe that it's that great. Recordable greeting cards, musical greeting cards. The cutest stamps, glitter, accessories to name but a few......

Below really is one of my personal favorites, I just couldn't help ordering this fun way to celebrate Advent. When this fun kit arrived, I couldn't believe the quality. I knew the moment that I saw it, I'd order it for my Niece who turned 12 in October, she loved it, it was light to ship and my daughter had so much fun creating my kit, I know my Niece will love it too. $19.95 includes everything except adhesive Candy Countdown Calendar Kit #120926.

You can switch out a couple of the background papers and use this fun kit to count down just about anything.

The boxes are not too small either, plenty of room for treats and everything is pre-cut for you.


Remember, as with any kit like this, it will be available "while supplies last" and then we will be unable to order any more.

Hop on over to http://www.elizabethreeve.stampinup.net/ to view the fabulous new Holiday Mini and remember to choose me as your demonstrator when you place your online order so that you receive my preferred prices on merchandise and shipping.

Happy St. Patric's Day Everyone

Images © 1990-2009 Stampin' Up!

Well, I must confess that we have absolutely no Irish blood in our family, but we believe in embracing the celebrations of the country we live in and since they even change the color of the river in Chicago to green in the USA, we figure it must be a pretty big deal.


The children went to school with green lunches and since apples take too long to eat for snack time, we stamped on their bananas, not their faces and their hands this year.

My children often tell me that they love that I'm a Stampin' Up! demonstrator because whenever they need to do a school project, we have what they need thanks to Stampin' Up! Now that's what I call a "feel good moment".



  • Just in case you are wondering where the little green stamp came from, it was from the stamp set "Holiday Blitz" - I can't tell you how many times that set has come to my rescue in a pinch for a special celebration - AWESOME!

Have a wonderful day!

Sunny Day Class pdf. for Demonstrators

Images © 1990-2010 Stampin' Up!
You can create all this and so much more from one kit (10 cards and 3 different 12x12 Scrapbook Pages)
and 5 sheets of 8 ½” x 11” Whisper White card stock, Glue and a Paper Trimmer

Elizabeth Reeve – Email: reeveelizabeth@hotmail.com

For a long time now I’ve wanted to showcase the fabulous new Stampin’ Up! Simply Scrappin’ Kits from the 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalog. My challenge last year was that many of my customers are primarily card makers and probably wouldn’t take a second look at a “scrappin’ kit”. I also have a number of customers who are scrapbookers and don’t make cards and then there is the group who do both and so l created two fun classes – one using rub ons and one using our now retired Best Ever Simply Scrappin’ Kit – The response to my classes was beyond anything I ever expected or hoped for – Coast to Coast and around the globe – I was stunned!

If you are a demonstrator and you would like to offer this class, you can purchase the pdf. file from me which includes color photos of each completed project, along with any directions/dimensions necessary, (step by step instructions are not needed).
The cost of the pdf. file is $7.52 - please email me for further details reeveelizabeth@hotmail.com

Sunny Day Simply Scrappin' Class


Images © 1990-2010 Stampin' Up!
At last I have a new Simply Scrappin' class for you.
You can create all this and so much more from one kit (10 cards and 3 different 12x12 Scrapbook Pages)
and 5 sheets of 8 ½” x 11” Whisper White card stock, Glue and a Paper Trimmer

Elizabeth Reeve – Email: reeveelizabeth@hotmail.com

For a long time now I’ve wanted to showcase the fabulous new Stampin’ Up! Simply Scrappin’ Kits from the 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalog. My challenge last year was that many of my customers are primarily card makers and probably wouldn’t take a second look at a “scrappin’ kit”. I also have a number of customers who are scrapbookers and don’t make cards and then there is the group who do both and so l created two fun classes – one using rub ons and one using our now retired Best Ever Simply Scrappin’ Kit – The response to my classes was beyond anything I ever expected or hoped for – Coast to Coast and around the globe – I was stunned!

The thing that struck me most as I was creating these projects was that they made me smile, they are soooo bright and cheerful - I can’t decide if it was the fun, yet flexible images or the fabulous color combinations.

· For my “card makers” – I made 10 bright and fun cards from half, yes, half the kit plus five sheets of 8 ½” x 11” Whisper White card stock and as well as still having half the kit still unused, there were still pieces left over to make a few extra projects, which means you can make more than twenty cards out of just one Simply Scrappin’ kit.
· For my “scrapbookers” – I made 3 different but coordinating 12x12 scrapbook pages from half, yes, half the kit and of course with the other half of the kit you could easily create coordinating facing pages for a double spread and there were plenty of images left over for extra embellishment or making additional projects later.
· For my “card makers/scrapbookers” – I made three different but coordinating 12x12 scrapbook pages and 10 cards by using the entire kit plus five sheets of extra 8 ½” x 11” Whisper White card stock and there were still plenty of pieces left over for extra embellishment or additional projects.

I chose to use the minimum tools and embellishments to keep the projects simple and inexpensive – perfect for beginners and bliss for long time crafters and the perfect project to take to a crop without having to take along “everything & the kitchen sink”:

Tools:
· Sunny Day Simply Scrappin’ Kit
· Paper trimmer
· Glue – I used my favorite – removable Dotto®
· Dimensionals (totally optional)
· Whisper White Card Stock
(cards only – 5 or 10 sheets depending on number of cards you make)
· Bone Folder (cards only)
· Time (not as much as you would think)
· Imagination and Creativity (totally optional)
· Friends/Family to share your fabulous creations with

Note to downline and other demonstrators – this is great because it appeals to everyone and you can make it fit anyone’s budget and who wouldn’t want to make all these cards/projects with just a few simple tools?

There are pictures with the by mail class for each card, and each scrapbook page, along with very simple directions – the pictures speak for themselves, so I didn’t see the need for step by step directions, but I did include dimensions, tips and directions where needed, right under each picture.

At the end of the project I still had lots of stuff left, so I’ll be creating more.

Would you like to take part in a creative gathering to make these fabulous projects? Send me an email reeveelizabeth@hotmail.com.

PTA Basket

At our school we really, really appreciate our teachers and at the beginning of the year we make up a basket of treats for ALL the teachers - this year Jill asked me to make a tag to go on the basket - I had no idea what to do and so I used Jill's words and just created this simple tag.

I love how being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator gives me the opportunity to give back in my own special way.

Tadaaaaa!!!!! My Digital Studio

I can't wait to see my 10 year old daughter's jaw drop when she see's she can make personalized Stampin' Up! cards for her friends.

Of course Stampin' Up! will have their own fabulous printing facility which will preserve the color integrity and size etc. of everything printed from My Digital studio so that it will coordinate and be the best quality etc. etc. etc.

However in the case of making a quick personalized card that I can run off on my computer, I think this is pretty impressive and remember, if I can do it, anyone can do it because I'm no tech.

Inspiration For Melanie

When Melanie called me and said she needed to make Baby Shower Invitations for a friend and could I help with ideas - I had absolutely no idea where to start. All I knew was that I needed to keep it simple because I know how Melanie loves brads and I knew somehow I needed to leave her some "brad mania" space, she also wanted bright colors....

.... Well, here are a few of the samples I gave to Melanie - I knew she'd be making a lot of cards and so I wanted to keep it simple and because she was making so many cards I liked the idea of using curvy verses, because you don't have to get the stamp perfectly strait every time. Once I hit on the idea of polka dots, I wanted to repeat it and so it is in the ribbon and embossed on the white card and again in the eyelet punch boarder and of course I made the ribbon a simple knot so that Melanie didn't have hours of frustrating ribbon tying.

I added a little dazzling diamonds glitter to the bunny tail and to the owl wings, which you can just about make out in the picture. What I loved about this card is that she could use one as the invitation and then keep the theme going by making coordinating Thank You cards with a different "Forest Friend". She stopped short of creating coordinating favors for the shower.

Way to go Melanie, you created beautiful invitations for the shower and you are one heck of a friend, she's one lucky lady to count you among her friends!
Have a great weekend everyone - stop by here for "Movie Monday" on what will be the last day of August!

Hot Off The Press - Growth Chart Success

Stampin' Up! have just shared this fabulous information with us on our Demonstrator web site and I just had to share them with you too:

The Décor Elements Growth Chart Everyone loves the Décor Elements Growth Chart special offer so much, it is now the top selling Décor Elements item for the month of August! Lucky for you, this offer is still available until September 30, during the Just for Kids campaign. Great School Products!


Images © 1990-2010 Stampin' Up!



A fellow demonstrator and second-grade teacher from Metairie, Louisiana, reports, "Everyone at my school decorates their classroom doors, so I decided to use the growth chart on mine. This was the first Décor Element I had put up . . . and I'm hooked!"
Here's how she plans to use the growth chart at her school:
"On the first day of school, I always take a picture of each student . . . so I will take it in front of the grow chart. At the end of the year, I'll take a second picture and send both of them home with our last writing project which will be a book about how they have grown to be better students during the year.
I also plan to use the growth chart during Math and let the students compare the length and height of various objects. I'm going to invite other classes to send their tallest and shortest students to be measured on our door, and we'll compare the differences to the tallest and shortest in our room.""Since my main focus is getting my students to be better readers, I also plan to use the chart to graph the number of books they have read at home . . . so I will be putting other numbers where the metric ones were and adding student names and small punched shapes to the door to show how many books they read."
"Last but not least, my new door decoration has already had lots of comments and questions about where I got it. It's a great conversation starter!"

Build A Bear - Color Me Caddy - Sneak Peak

Just imagine, you're going to visit someone with a youngster and you take this fabulous hand made color me card caddie for their little one - now who's going to be the coolest visitor to ever walk through the door?

or

Maybe you're giving a party for a little one - you'll be every Mom's best friend if you give these out as party bags - not only will they appreciate the time you took to make them, they'll love you for not giving their children "another" party bag filled with things they don't need - this one will actually give the children something to do and may even encourage them to save their parents money and make the next card they need for a friend.......

These fabulous stamps will be available for you to purchase from the Holiday Mini from September 1st 2009 and I promise this cute tote took just minutes to make and is very simple.... My husband walked in when I was creating the tote and I told him I was flying by the seat of my pants because I had no dimensions and he said "yep I can tell, you're not measuring anything" - he was right, I just used the size of the box of crayons and the envelopes and hey presto it worked out just fine.



Build A Bear - Color Me Caddy - Class Maybe?

Images © 1990-2010 Stampin' Up!


Our Build A Bear product line is brand new and as I start to plan my Fall class schedule, I was wondering if you'd like to attend a class to make this fun "Color Me Card Caddy" class. If you think this is a class you'd like to attend, please send me an email reeveelizabeth@hotmail.com and if enough people are interested we'll add it to the Fall schedule.

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.

Images © 1990-2010 Stampin' Up!
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.

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!

Too Many Photos

Is there such a thing as too many pictures?.......


I took so many pictures at field day and through the year at school that they wouldn't fit onto a CD - we had to use a DVD and that didn't include the last two days at school.......

The children gave a DVD to each of their teachers, our fabulous Principal and the our amazing Gym Teacher as a reminder of the fantastic field day we had last week......

Images © 1990-2009 Stampin' Up!
...... Of course we couldn't just hand them a DVD and so we made little folders for them to go in.

A Little Thank You For Some Very Special People!

I started out just making little purses with a wrapped nugget in coordinating paper inside the purse........



.... Then I thought it would be nice to add a note of thanks.....

..... Then I realized that there are staff members who touch the life of our children that we don't know......
Images © 1990-2009 Stampin' Up!
..... Yes, this is what we gave to the staff at school to show how much we appreciate them.
We snuck into the school office last night when most of the staff had left and placed these little tokens in their mail boxes.
Every day we are thankful that our children are surrounded by so many wonderful and caring people and although our token is small, we hope that they know our appreciation is huge!
Now I have just over an hour and it's my turn - I get to spend the whole summer with my little ones and I can't wait!!! I warned my husband last night not to expect a clean or tidy house - this is our time and I don't intend missing on second of it. Do I sound excited? That's because I am!!! I absolutely love, love, love having my children at home with me.
Happy Summer EVERYONE!

Stampin' Up! .COM

I absolutely love this idea that is posted at www.stampinup.com - It uses the under the stars stamp set and reminded me that I should pop on over there once in a while because there are some fabulous projects to enjoy.

Spring Cleaning 3D

It has been fun sorting through all my pictures - I hope you are enjoying them. It will be so nice to have nice clean files to put my "new" pictures in.

We are having a huge amount of work done in our basement this week and so cleaning my picture files is at least one thing in my house I can clean this week. You should see the dust and hear the noise.
