Christmas Gift Idea!

Our workshop on October 14th and/or 15th we will be creating a scrapbook calendar. Here is some images of one that I made for my sister-in-law last year. This year I plan on making several for family members. Family members if you are reading this please act surprised when you unwrap your calendar at Christmas! We will be focusing on the stamping portion during the workshop and I will assist with the scrapbooking portion but I wanted to give you the freedom to scrapbook using your own materials and ideas. Cost is $18.00 for the first 12x12 calendar and $13.00 for each additional 12x12 calendar. Or you can bring your own calendar and the cost is $5. Please let me know by October 3rd so that I can order all the calenders in time.

Time to plan for Christmas!

Here are some samples of the Christmas cards I have made using the stamp sets that I have. If you see a Christmas card that you would like to make just let me know and I will share the "recipe" with you.

Idle Hands!

Mom and I have talked about it for years and we finally decided to take a deep breath and try out something new! We have signed up for a craft fair!!! My mom by trade is a seamstress and I tried really hard to follow in her foot steps but I was just no good at it and I did not like it much either, sorry mom. I can sew a little but nothing major. I found that paper crafts was more my thing. So we decided that together we have enough talent to have our very own craft booth. WOW! My mom is making the cutest lounge wear sets for kids. Cute little pants and matching t-shirts. I am going to push my paper crafts and hopefully find a few new people who are interested in stamping. I will let you know how it goes. My aunt will be selling beaded jewelry and my sister will be selling hair bows. Come by and see us October 6th.

Below you will see the Halloween treats that we will make at this Tuesday's stamp camp and I made some to sell at the craft fair. I also have posted some journals that I am working on for the fair as well as some Christmas cards. I am kinda hoping that people will want to order their Christmas cards from me that would be cool. Please let me know what you think I would love your feedback. If there is a card that you like I will be happy to email you exactly what I used to make it.

The Halloween treats shown are decorated bubble containers, baby food jars, and lollipops. I used the Batty for you stamp set, Creepy Crawly paper, and my new scallop punch. I love the new scallop punch!

Halloween Treats!

TRACY WON!

Tracy received the most votes for this card swap. Her "happiness" card was very nicely done. Although, we were all winners of the card swap only one person gets to take home the prize package. Here is a sample of some of the items Tracy received. I hope everyone had fun. Thanks again for playing.

This is a card I made for a friend of mine. I got the idea from a card I saw on Splitcoast. I had to alter the idea to use the materials and stamp sets that I have on hand but I was pleased with the end result.
