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.

Fifth Avenue Floral #113734

A few months ago I featured several projects using Fifth Avenue Floral - It's a classic!!! As soon as my ladies saw the projects, they called me and ordered this fabulous stamp set. You'll find Fifth Avenue Floral on page 98 of the new catalog and on the shelves of many of my ladies.

This fun project is a simple folder, with an equally simple belly band - what's really cute is that the sleeves inside are made quite simply from business envelopes and the tabs are created with punch 22 our round tab punch #108340.

I love the way our Eyelet Boarder Punch #113692 can create the look of lace and you wouldn't believe how versatile our 1" Double Stitched Ribbon is - Did you know that it's now available in Real Red? Take a look on page 182 - now that gets me thinking about Christmas - what a cute festive gift this would make with just one or two color alterations....... hmmmmm......

Flight of the Butterfly

Take a look on page 187 of the new catalog and you'll see that punch number 31 "Butterfly" #116629 is now available and of course it makes this fun card even easier to create.

Now hop on over to page 108 and you'll find this fabulous stamp set "Flight of the Butterfly" #111564

The grass was created using the stamp from "Inspired by Nature" #111656 on page 96 of the current catalog.

Make the butterflies flutter by attaching them to strips of our window sheets and scoring/folding the center of the card accordion style and you have something totally unexpected.

Stay tuned - I'll be posting more cards like this - look below in the top right corner for a hint of what's to come!

Happy 4th Everyone!!!

I was trying to think of the perfect way to reward you taking time away from your friends and family today to visit my blog and so I thought I'd share this fun pop up die made using one of my favorite tools the Big Shot. A few days ago I also posted a mini movie to show you how this fabulous product works.

It's amazing what the Big Shot can do - oops should have made time for a manicure.

People often say "do you have July 4th in England" - I always say "yes - we just don't celebrate it like they do here" - it's fun to see the red faces - LOL. Enjoy a great day!

Scallop Edge Punch - Deal Of The Week July 1-5, 2009

By now most of you know how to use the Scallop Edge Punch, but for those of you just discovering it, here is a little sample of how it works.

• Practice on scrap paper first before you start punching scallop edge.

Step 1

Step 2

• Center your strip of card on the punch, so that an even amount of card is on both ends and punch the center scallop.
  Step 3

• Next slide the card along – when the punched scallops come out at the end, line them up with those printed on the top of the bunch base – this will help not to over punch already punched scallops. Repeat at the other end or until desired length scallop is achieved.
  

Step 4

Step 5


Step 6


Step 7


Step 8

I hope this helps a little. It's not the easiest thing in the world to explain, it's way easier to actually have a go, but hopefully the pictures have helped a little.

Every time my ladies use this punch, it gets a WOW!

Last Chance!!!!!!

Remember TODAY is the last day to go on line to http://www.elizabethreeve.stampinup.net/ and order any retiring stamp sets and accessories - tomorrow they'll be gone FOREVER!!!!!

Images © 1990-2009 Stampin' Up!

Here are the details of my Ribbon Share.

I won't be able to sell the fabulous new in color ribbon until the 1st week of July, but I can add your name to my waiting list, so please email me at reeveelizabeth@hotmail.com

On June 24th, I will be able to accept your payment by check or cash - please email me if you need to use PayPal.

Fellow Demonstrators - you are welcome to join my ribbon share too!

You will receive 3 yards of all 6 colors for $15 including tax and shipping.

To Pre-order my In Color Polka Dot Ribbon Share please send me an email and let me know how many shares you would like - each 18 yard share contains all six colors.

By the way, did I tell you that there are polka dots on one side only and so it's like getting two ribbons in one?

Remember - Stampin' Up! prohibits me from selling items cash and carry and so each time five shares are complete, I'll place the share order. Your $15.00 payment for one share holds your spot in the share.

Bling

Did you know that by removing the outer casing of the rhinestone brads you can create "bling" of your very own? - Add that to some glitter and fabulous satin ribbon and what a "wow".
