MORE TO PRETTIES THAN MEETS THE EYE

I just came across these pictures of my daughter, all dressed up for her pre-K Thanksgiving Feast. The teacher sent home a paper bag with which I was supposed to make a nice, traditional, crayon-decorated Native American fringed vest.
Well, with me being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and my daughter being quite the girly-girl, we couldn't help but go a little over the top. She was quite the Indian Princess, don't you think?! And, she was so happy in her costume!

EMBRACE the "CASE"

Here's a closer look at my Club Swap card. The challenge was a CASE from the "smile" card on p. 48 of the current catty. The flower was stamped in Basic Black, colored in with Groovy Guava & Ruby Red, cut out & then covered with 2 layers of Glassy Glaze EP.

YIPPEE - STAMP CLUB!

I'm happy! Stamp Club met for the first time last night & it was so much fun. I wanted to share our projects. Clubbers made the "h" card, the 5-in-1 gift box, and the gift card purse. They also recieved the pen, paperclip and "embrace life" card as gifties! Good job, ladies!

SCRAPPIN' THE WALLS

Here's what kept me busy today. I wanted to make something unjque and meaningful for a super-special friend of mine. She has the most adorable baby, who celebrated her 1st birthday a couple weeks back. I got my hands on a couple of the pictures, and made a 12x12 scrapbook page. It's in a shadow box for the wall. It got rave reviews, and I was really thrilled. Happy Birthday, JM! Love ya, girl.

STAMPIN' THROUGH SUPPLIES

Here's one of the cards we made for my last Stamp-A-Stack. It's a CASE of the Unfrogettable card in the Catty. My stampers thought it was cute! I had some supplies left over, and decided to get them stamped up. So, I switched to Always (can you tell that set is my favorite these days?!) and ... voila!
