Convention Projects

As most of you know....I am doing the Stampin' Up! booth at the Rocky Mountain Rubber Hi....so today I needed to get the projects that I am doing a class for finished...or at least semi finished so I could send pictures off to the show organizer...so that they can go up on the web page.....so here they are...I'm doing a 2 hour class and we will be making one of these cute, Photo Journal Folders titled "A Little Birdie Told Me" and then a little mini album .

Here is the outside of both the projects, ....

And here are the insides!!! Now I need to calculate product so I don't go over or under board on my ordering!!!! What do you think???
I think I will need to order a second Party Hardy set...so leave me a comment or e-mail me one, on how you like the projects and I will draw for it after the show!!!

Stamping 101

I've had quite a few people ask....so I will be presenting a Stamping 101 - Beginner, or not so Beginner Class. I will be covering basics, with 4 different cards...great for the beginner...but also good for us that need ideas!!!! It will be held on Thursday, June 3 at 6:30. Cost is $10.00 and the deadline is 5/27/2010. Want to see what we will be making????

New Class!!! Finally!!!!

Hello All....It was a busy Weekend.....First with Saturday, doing Habitat...and then Sunday was our All Day Stamp for Stamping Friends at Donna's house....We had a blast and she had some Yummy food for us all....we never go without food at these events!!! The company was the best, and we did 2 cute projects that Donna provided.....and them some cards...I will post those later. Today I had my yearly check up with my Cardioligist...and he was very pleased....the gal that checked me in just couldn't get a blood preasure reading on me.....I assured her that I was very much alive....finally they did, and it was so low....which it always used to be before I had all of these problems....it was 102/60.....so I was very happy about that....She kept asking me ....are you sure you're not light headed.....You're not gonna pass out, are you....no this is normal for me, pre cardiac problems.....When it goes high...I know as my head feels like it is gonna explode. So it was a good day....they want to do some sort of fancy new test...which will probably cost a fortune.....I'm just not sure it's warrented...but he said it's better to be safe...he hates reading the obituaries...and someone is on there that the test would have benefited.....We shall see.....After the Doctor's...I ran all sorts of errands...and just now got home...so it has been a busy day....

I wanted to get pictures up of the upcoming Big Shot/Punch Class....I finally got the samples all done....
The 4 cards came out so cute...and we will be making evvelopes to go with them....as they are off sized....they also have a surprize to them...you have to come to the class to see.
Here is the little box they will all go into.....
The class will be held on Tuesday, April 13 at 6:30 and is only $10.00....such a deal....I need to know if you are attending by 4/6/2010. I will also do Kits for this class, so if you can't make it, or are too far away...you can still make the project!!! Cost of the kit is $15.00.

Another Class....

Have been working on this the past few days....it came out really cute.....if I must say so myself!!!! I love notebooks though...so this is one of my mini classes.....

It's made out of a composition notebook....Steven has cut them down for me......They are so cute...and you will get asked....where you got it, I'm sure!!!! Class will be held Wednesday, May 5, 6:30 at my home. Cost is $5.00 and the deadline is 4/28/2010.

Orders and Classes and Quilted Bags....

Just got our Stamper 10 orders all entered into the Computer....It can be confusing with Sale-a-bration!!! I don't want to forget anyones free items!!!! I love FREE!!!!

I also got lots of work done on upcoming classes....the Big Shot Class projects are coming out sooo... Stinkin' Cute!!!! I also have a new class for May...will post that one tomorrow....it also came out way too cute!!!

Here are pictures of the Rag quilt bag I made for my daughter Kris....I thought I had saved pictures of it....but I cleaned up my cmera...and I think I deleated them with old projects....so Kris sent me these pictures....



And here is Princess Abbey modeling the bag....



I've had a few requests....and I have a ton of other fabric projects using the Big Shot....so I'm pondering holding a quarterly Fabric/Big Shot class...if you think that is something that would appeal to you...let me know...and I will see about getting it on the calendar!!! Sewing is minimal on most projects....some use hot glue....Most projects use scrap fabric....

Brayer Class

I finally got the 2 projects put together for our first Brayer Class....Not all projects will be using brayers...most will...but some will be doing sponging, as in the turquoise card. You can sign up for one...or all....there will be some building of technique.....The first in this quarterly series will be held Monday, March 22, at 6:30, with the deadline being 3/15/2010. Cost is $10.00.

The first card shows the brayer resist technique...with some sponging to get depth in the picture....you are actually building a landscape here.

The second project ...and I love these colors....is a lesson in sponging to get depth in your picture, and then highlighting....dark and light. These classes are a great way to grow the artist within you!!! Hope to see you here.

Close ups!!!!

Here are the 4 cards for the Caddy Class....this shows them off a little bit better!!!!
I had a busy day stampin....did lots but finished nothing?!?!?! Actually I did get all of the Make-n-Takes for my Downline event in December done.....can't show them to you until after the event...but they came out cute. If anyone out there is thinking about becoming a demonstrator...you are invited to this event...Contact me for details.

Spent yesterday with great friends....shopping!!!! We headed out early to one of the Scrapbook stores, as they were having free M-n-T's. YOu know me...always on the look-out for new ideas....didn't buy anything. Then out to lunch at Jason's Deli, and over to Barbara's house, as she was doing her annual Craft Fair. Bought a few Christmas presents...and then when I got home...found out I won one of the Door prize drawings...so will head back over there next week and pick that up!!! Wish I had brought my camera...I'm gonna need to get a second camera to keep in my purse!!!!

Winter Day...BRRR!!!!

OK...this is the view out my Stamp Room window....can you believe we have this much snow!!!! It was a good thing...I worked...uninterrupted all day....and I got so much done. I have been thinking about doing a downline event...and Stampin' Up! released a video yesterday....so my event took shape today....Lots to do, but I think it will be a fun event, I'm excited!!!

Then I worked on the myriad of projects I have piled up. Finally got the Matchbox Class Projects finished. It is going to be a great class.
There are 5 Matchboxes, that we will be making, using the Big Shot Matchbox Die....they all came out so cute....
The first one opens to reveal a mini journal....This is my favorite!!!!




They are even cuter in real life....The class will be held on Saturday, November 14 at 10:00. Cost will be $20.00. I need paid registration by November 7.

Missing in Action

Ladies...I apologize for no posts the past few days....I came down with the Flu. It more than likely was the H1N1, as I had a flu shot for the regular flu. My son came home from college the past 2 weekends, sicker than a dog...I made him stay here Monday and Tuesday, till I was sure he was gonna live....I started with it Sunday.....It is not fun...but the good thing, my fever has broken...and I'm not contageous anymore....and as soon as the fever breaks...you start feeling SOOO.....much better!!!!! And...now that is over and done with!!!!! I don't usually get sick to the point of not getting out of bed...but this just wiped me out!!!!

These are the projects we did for World Card Making Day...adn I will also be offering a class in it at the Santa Cops Crop I am doing up in Loveland in 2 weekends.







Tonite is my 2nd Thursday Stamper's 10 Hostess Club. I am putting together a kit with one of the cards...so stay tuned for that...it was really cute!!!! Maybe we should even do a contest!!!!

Let's Start Now...Gifts for Christmas

I should have waited and posted all together....Here are the 3 gifts we will be making in the Gifts for Christmas Class later this month....Thursday, October 15, at 6:30. The folder is a great size for lists...it even includes a list pad. The tin box is great for all those little things that get lost in your desk...and I just love the jumbo paper clips.

This is the inside of the folder.....
Cost is $20 and I still have room in the class....would love to see you here. These would be great as teacher or co-worker gifts!!!!

Yippee!!!New Toys

What I didn't know, when I wrote yesterdays' post, was there was a big box sitting on my front porch...with all sorts of goodies for my September classes....and one of those goodies was the new "My Digital Studio"...so hopefully I will get a chance to work with that this weekend....One of the first things I want to do is create my own design for this Blog!!! What fun this is going to be!!!

Here are some more convention swaps...great ideas!!!!

I need to run and work on finishing up my Stamper's 10 projects, my swaps and project for Sunday, and my technique Class projects....all are so cute...will post them when they are done. Here is a picture of the projects for the Holiday Boxing Class...they came out so cute!!!!!The Class is being held on Wednesday, September 16 at 6:30, my house. Call for info and directions. Cost is $20 for all 4 projects....space is limited for this class. We had a blast at the Summer Class.

Cloudy, rainy, BUT... Fun Saturday.

It was cloudy, and rainy, and generally an under the weather day....but we got to enjoy the evening with a group of recent Master Student Graduates from Adam's State....our oldest daughter Kris being one of them...at the Fox and the Hound Pub. Yummy food, and lots of fun!!! Congratulations Kris...a wonderful accomplishment!!!!

That's Kris and I....I'm the one with gray hair....

Today was a day to catch up on all the things that just never seem to get done....like cleaning bathrooms, and working on classes....the classes are much more fun to work on than bathrooms!!!!

These are the projects we will be doing at the August 17, 6:30 , Book It Class. They came out really cute, and would make great teacher and co-worker gifts....contact me by August 10, If you are interested, so that I can get supplies ordered!!!! Cost is $20 for the class and all supplies.
