Pam created this fun card in the morning,  "before" stamp club, it's so cute and shows that even when time is limited you can still share your creativity.

You need to see every inch of Rebecca's cards......

Sooooo Rebecca, and I just had to show you the inside of her card too.

Melanie must be seeing flowers before her eyes.....

When I saw how many flowers Melanie had punched and stuck, I couldn't believe it, each tiny flower was hand placed - WOW!

Happy 4th of July everyone!

I was so delighted to see that the coordinating paper, stamp set and punch are all still available in the new 2011 - 2012 Idea Book - we'll need to make one small change though - the build a brad has now retired, but there are some super new brads that I can't wait to order!

If you don't have your copy of the new idea book and catalog, please email me to find out how you can own this amazing resource - Click HERE.

A Special Memory

I wanted to share this with you today, because it reminds me of how precious life is and how people are more important than things.......

This card was created by a dear lady, she saved these pins from clothing that she had to have cleaned after her home caught fire - I love that she created something so special from something that could have been so tragic.

When Mama Julia told me about her fire, the first words she said were "we are so blessed", I couldn't believe that anyone who's house had caught fire could consider themselves "blessed" - later I found out that the walls of Julia's house were on fire and she was inside, completely unaware of the fire creeping silently around her, behind the walls - it was a neighbor who raised the alarm and saved this amazing lady - so you see, this treasure that Julia made, really is a "treasure" ...and now you know why I just had to share this wonderful creation.

Thank you "Mama" Julia, I will treasure this always ;-)

Have a safe and happy Holiday weekend everyone!

Inspired

I haven't "named" a card before, but this card deserves a name, I'm going to call it quite simply "Rebecca" - Just lovely......

Thank you Rebecca for inspiring everyone in our group to take their creativity to the next level!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

I can just imagine the smile on Shirley's face as she created this heartfelt swap for our recent stamp club. I love the way she cut the front of the card at an angle to reveal a hint of the warm wishes inside!

Sweet Translucent Evelope Book

Just before Christmas our stamp club had a wonderful gathering and we all shared sweet treats that we'd made - everyone wanted each other's recipes and so we decided that our first project of 2011 would be a recipe book where we could share all our wonderful ideas.

We used our fabulous new build a cupcake punch, along with FREE Sale-A-Bration ribbon, buttons and Designer Paper - Have you earned your FREE Sale-A-Bration goodies yet?

Each member of the group brought along a picture of their treat and the recipe and now we have a wonderful collection of recipes to go along with our special memories of our Holiday 2010 gathering.

My next plan is to make some of these cut books for new moms, so that they can create simple but special memory books.

Thank you as always to my wonderful stamp club - you inspire me every day!

On a personal note, please accept my apologies for the lack of posts this year. We began homeschooling our son in January and so life has been a little different. Home school is going really well and the biggest and most unexpected bonus has been a huge improvement in our little man's health.

I promise to try and update my blog more often as we settle into our new routine! Thank you to everyone who has called, emailed and written to offer their support and understanding, it means the world to us!

Holiday Inspiration!

With the Holidays fast approaching, it is time to turn my attention to family and so here is a collection of fun projects that my ladies and I have created ready for the festive season.

We had so much fun creating sweet treats to share that we've decided to create a treat book with our recipes and hints on how to survive the Holidays - I can't wait to make our project during our January Sale-A-Bration meeting.

Dear Santa I'm Really, Really Wishing For A Big Shot For Christmas!

When the Big Shot first came out I was a bit unsure of making the investment, but my dear Husband encouraged me to go ahead and buy one. Would someone please remind me to thank him? I can't believe how much I use it.

When my ladies first saw the Big Shot, I didn't think they'd invest in one, but I had a problem - I couldn't stop using my Big Shot even though I tried really hard because I knew that not everyone had one. Guess what? Now nearly all my ladies own a Big Shot and now they can't stop using them either!

Sooooo, if you don't have a Big Shot yet, remember to ask Santa very nicely, or tell one of your loved ones that they can order you one through me www.elizabethreeve.stampinup.com, where they'll receive preferred pricing on the product and shipping or ask them for a gift card which they can also get from me.

The dry embossing on these cards took just seconds using my Big Shot and the Textured Impressions Embossing Folder #120902 Page 26 of the Holiday Mini $7.95

To create the sliding sledding children, I simply cut a slit in the front of the card and inserted a stamped strip of coordinating card.

I added a little sparkle using Dazzling Diamonds Glitter and my Two Way Glue Pen.
