HAPPY NEW YEARS

2010-01-03T07:08:00.000-08:00

I know I'm late but better late than never...

I am going to try to be a better blogger this year that is my goal for 2010..... I'm not the greatest goal keeper but I will try....

I definitely have to post once a week now thanks to Kristen from your memories here.... She has assigned the DT a day to post a project every week...

Thanks Kristen I needed the motivation.. to get off my behind and get my projects posted.. and since I got a new Camera and adobe photo shop for Christmas hopefully my pics will be a lot better.

Now I just have to learn how to use them....

Now that I'm done rambling about my goals...My DT Project for this week is a toilet paper mini album... I seen this on line a few times on a couple of blogs not sure who was the originally designer on this.. but I wanted to try it for awhile. so I finally made one... I just love the way it turned out...

The paper I used is Potting Shed wall paper I just love this paper.. one side has a nice pattern and the other side has a solid linen texture.. it comes in a 6x6 pack with 16 sheets of paper perfect for this project not to much waste of paper.
the tags were made from the cricut. the flowers are prima the buttons I can't remember where they came from I just found them in my stash.. the key on the front cover is from a set of keys I got a J's. The stamp on 2nd page is from target....

For the Front cover of toilet paper roll.

page 2... is a small photo mat just enough room for a small photo and journling on the back side

pg 3 is also just enough room for a small photo and journaling or another photo on the back...

Pg 4 is the inside back cover

last is the back cover..

Just wanted to share a quick christmas card I made using the DCVW Holiday collection papers and a cute snowman stamp from Snag 'em Stamps you can purchase them from

I used my cricut and Mini Monograms cartridge to cut the scalloped frame aroud the snowman. the snowflake I used a MS snowflake punch and MS silver glitter and the packaging tape technique... The ribbon is MS baby boy collection.. I also used a Stampin up scalloped circle punch and a EK success christmas boarder punch.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

'Tis the season to reflect on the blessings given to each of us throughout the past year.

Life offers us many things to be thankful for and I thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.

...I hope that each of you enjoy this special holiday with family and friends.

enjoy your day.....

book a workshop

2009-07-28T15:12:00.000-07:00

I have been wanting to make one of these ever since I saw the idea
What better time than NOW to book a workshop in your own home (or my home if you prefer) and earn FREE products in the BRAND NEW catalog! If you book a party, you will receive a FREE catalog, plus choose a gift out of the candy dish! You also get to keep all the projects that are demonstrated at your workshop.

Summer is the perfect time for a little girls night out stamping fun. My workshops are HANDS ON, your guests will be making projects and the workshop is is FREE for everyone!

Or maybe summer is a busy time with vacations, and the fall would be a better time for you. No problem, we will have fabulous fall/holiday projects and ideas that we can do! Your workshop can take place in the evening OR during the day when the kids go back to school.

Out of towners can do a booking party, just share your catalog with just a few friends and family, and gather orders. YOU will still receive the hostess rewards!! (Sorry I probably can't fly to your city to do the make and takes though!)

Contact me if you are interesed!
