Thank You! Our Open House was a huge success!

Thank you so much to all of you who came out to our open house! We had a house full all day long and it was great!

We had club last night and the girls were awesome! We had so much fun!

I'm hoping Tiff took some pictures because I just realized I didn't even take a picture of the projects we made! Oh, well! I will post them later!

Of course you all want to know who won the basket! Well, I don't even know yet! We were so tired after our day, that we decided to wait until this morning to pick the winner! So stay tuned, it will be posted shortly!

Here are the two cards that we are making for our class on Tuesday night, the 10 for $15. These two stamp sets I love! They are from the sneak peek that we got for the new catalog coming out on August 11th! WooHoo! I can't wait! The one on the right is Dream du Jour and then of course the Sock Monkey! So come and be the first ones to make cards from these sets! It will be a riot!

I made this card for a swap for convention. The technique I was to use is the gel technique. You put hair gel in a little baggie and it appears to be like a window or water. This is another brand new never seen before stamp set! This is the Window Dressings set. I was a little disappointed that the "so thankful for you" didn't show up as much as I wanted. I should have embossed! But other than that, I thought it turned out pretty cute!

I am so in love with the little Sock Monkey! I made this baby shower card out of him!

I made these thank you cards as part of her gift. I love the banana!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have fun!

Good Morning!

It's almost time for the new catalog to come out! I am sooooo excited! We were able to see a "sneak peek" and order from that, and I'm here to tell you, you are going to love it!
We are getting ready to go to convention at the end of the month, so we are very busy preparing swaps to do there. I think we signed up for too many! LOL
We will come back with all the latest and greatest that Stampin'Up! has to offer for this next year.

Keep watching for the pics of the examples. As soon as we get them, we will get them ready to post.
As we get our swaps done, we will post those pics too.
Thanks for looking!
Have fun!

Sunday night, time to get caught up!

Gosh, I have been so busy I haven't had time to update! So...here it is!

I really like designing and making cards, so I've been joining a lot of swaps on our Stampin'Up! forum.

I did this card for a 10 + 1 swap:

It was so much fun to make, but very labor intensive! I had to cut most of the apron out by hand. And then since I loved the rick rack - reminded me of my grandma's aprons! - I sewed all that on too!

I love this card though cuz you can use it for so many events!

Especially thank you when somebody gives me something very yummy!

This card I did for a 25 + 1 swap. Wow, that's a lot of cards to make!

I made my own designer paper for the backgound piece (the very vanilla with the really rust flower stamped on it) and that was tons of fun! I have never done that before. I think it turned out pretty cool, huh?

My niece, who is a twin, is having twins, so we went to a baby shower for her. I saw this card on Stampers' Showcase and knew that I had to make it for somebody. Well, she was the lucky one! I altered the card from the one I originally saw by changing a few of the colors, adding the wire for the hangers, and then of course making two onesies because of twins, one boy and one girl!

For part of her gift, I made these thank you cards for her. I did five in the pink and five in the blue.

I love this flower with the Build A Brad in the middle! For the flowers on the bottom, I dry embossed and then lightly sanded the raised portion. I think it turned out pretty cool looking! The picture doesn't do it justice. Of course I had

to use a pink paper out of the Berry Bliss DSP so that I could get the white to show through. If I had used a regular piece of Pretty In Pink cardstock, it wouldn't have had the same effect since the cardstock is colored all the way through.

This card was a little tricky to get a good picture of since it's a pull-out card.

It was super easy to make.

I used a B out of SU's chipboard and covered it with DSP.

For the heart in the center of the star, I used a chipboard star from SU and covered it with Real Red and then embossed it with Glassy Glaze a couple of times to get it all shiney and thick.

Hope you enjoyed my cards tonight.

Thanks for looking!

Don't forget to enter our contest for the retired accessory list!

I'm Here- Baby Gift

I made these cute cans for my cousin that is having twins ; )

Stampin' Hostess Club!

We just had the first meeting and it was so much fun! Their projects turned out great! See you next month!

Celebrating great Open House success!

And the winner of our $200 basket is.....Wendi! Congratulations to Wendi!

Thank you, Wendi, for coming and supporting us!

Thank you to all the women who came to our open house! It was great! We had the best time and lots of great card making!

Are we having fun, or what?? LOL!

I love this group of women and all the support they give us and our business! A big thank you to Lorie and all her girls!

This is my beautiful niece Kendra and my cutest ever granddaughter Rachel (who is doing so much better!). Kendra was our children's project queen/babysitter!
Thank you so much, Kendra, for helping us! We couldn't have done it without you!

Of course there were lots of other people that came (sorry we don't have your picture!), but we didn't take enough pictures! Next time...more pictures!

We are off to Bear Lake for the weekend! I'll be back on Monday!
Have fun!

Tiff's Stamp Room

Me and my Mom have most of the same stuff...


I did get these white book shelf’s at Big K and I love them to hold all my 'play' stuff!

I got the paper holders from Ikea.







II think the black shelf came with my husband, I am glad I could put it to good use! It holds all my Designer Series paper perfect!
It also keeps my On Board Chip Board very nice and neat and a great place for my sewing machine.




This has got to be my favorite spot of the house! All our stamps! My mom made me alphabetize them... I would rather have them in theme or categories but she won that argument ; )

Tiff's Work Space

I love to stamp! These are two of my favorite places in my house! I love my computer because I can get inspired to go and stamp!





I love my work table- it is the perfect height and is right next to the kids play room! They get to play and so do I!

Father's Day Cards

I made these two cards, one for my Dad and one for my Grandpa.

Wallet

I made this very cute wallet for my husband for Father's Day.
