10 for 10 Sneak Peek!

It's time for the Sale-a-bration 10 cards for 10 Dollars Workshop. It's cheaper than Hallmark and so easy to do because the prepping and measurng and cutting is done by the time you walk in the door.

We'll be making 2 cards each of 5 designs. All the cards are versatile and just what you need to keep on hand.

The sneak peek begins with this Happy Birthday card that you can send to just about anyone!

Class Date: Sunday, March 9. RSVP by: Saturday, March 1. It's all on my Stampin' Up! Calendar of Events!

Something to Brag About....

Sometimes it seems like I just don't post enough of my scrapbook work. It may be in part because I am such a lousy photographer and scans of my pages look even worse than the pictures..... Anyway, here's another one of those 6 x 6 "Brag Book" pages I love so much. This page can be completed in (really!) minutes. Since the picture isn't so good it is hard to see the flower background stamped with "Taken with Teal" as well as the little flowers on the title box stamped off in Apricot Appeal.

This page premiered at a workshop today (thanks, Sally!) and will be making other apparances in this post-Valentine's Day "season".

More Classroom Treats!

These Valentines have nothing to do with candy at all. We are giving the gift of creativity to the 3 year olds! The boxes of crayons are wrapped in belly bands I rolled through the paper crimper for a little texture. Then I stamped tags with my ultra favorite "Crayon Kids" set. It's been retired for a few years and I think I continue to use it more than ever before! Remember, always buy 'em while you can still get 'em!

Stamp Sets: Crayon Kids, Cold Play (the "to and "from")
Paper: Glorious Green, Whisper White
Ink: Glorious Green
Accessories: Paper Crimper

Lovin' Our Lollies!

It's been a Valentine Craft-a-thon around here -- but thankfully treats will begin heading to their destinations tomorrow! That includes this batch of lollipops with covers that are headed to Kindergarten Valentine Mailboxes. The covers are straightforward 5 1/2" X 2 1/2" rectangles stamped on the outside and embellished, with the addition of names and four punched holes so that the ribbons can be tied and the lollies stay put!

Stamp Set: Happy Heart Day, Cold Play (for the "to" and "from"), Doodle This
Paper: Real Red, Basic Black, Almost Amethyst, Whisper White
Ink: Real Red, Basic Black
Accessories: Black Gingham Ribbon, 1 3/8" circle punch, 1 1/4" circle punch, Scallop Punch, 1/8" handheld punch, blender pens

Special Delivery!

I'm still making Valentine gifts and I'm still altering those little mailboxes from the Dollar Spot at Target! This little pair is headed to Kindergarten next week. The mailboxes themselves are covered in last year's Stampin' Up! Valentine Designer Paper called "Loves Me". I loved it then, I bought tons before it retired and I still love it now. A few pieces of the ribbon are from the coordinating "Flirty" Ribbon originals that retired along with the paper. I've used the Medium Cello Bags (you know, the ones that came with your bundle!) and filled them with Hershey Kisses all wrapped in pink!

Stamp Set: NONE -- no stamping at all!
Paper: Loves Me Designer Series Paper, Chocolate Chip, Pretty in Pink, Taken with Teal
Ink: Chocolate Chip (sponged, not stamped)
Accessories: Rose Wide Grosgrain, Flirty Ribbon Originals, Theater Ribbon Originals, On Board Chipboard, 1" circle punch, 1 1/4" circle punch, 1 3/8" circle punch, Scallop Punch, Hershey's Kisses(!)

For My Valentine.....

I'm going to send this one to his office just to see if he opens his mail! We generally don't exchange cards (or apparently gifts, flowers, chocolate or any other trinkets!) on Valentine's Day. So this one isn't frilly and doesn't contain sparkly hearts or traditional colors. That makes it sort of my un-Valentine for my un-Valentine. ( The stamp set and the designer paper have both retired, yet remain favorites of mine.)

Stamp Set: Love Matters
Paper: Kraft, Darling Doodles, Blue Bayou, Wild Wasabi, Confetti White
Ink: Black Staz-On, Wild Wasabi, Blue Bayou
Accessories: Jumbo Eyelet, Blue Bayou Stitched Ribbon, Blender Pens, Dimensionals
