Collage Maker!

A friend of mine, Julie, posted a way to use Shutterfly to make a photo collage. Isn't this fun!!! I made one of Snoopy to test it out. Enjoy!

Design Challenge for July

Hello ladies and gents! A teammate of mine, Dawnmarie, posted this challenge to our team for the month. I thought, why not post it to you guys too? She got it from SCS. So, here's the deal. If you choose to try this challenge, either mail it to me or scan it and email it so that I can see it. I will post any samples I receive for all to see in a gallery, and then I will randomly choose a winner of a FREE $10.95 stamp set of your choice! What a deal!

All entries need to be in my hands by July 31st to qualify. The winner will be announced in my August newsletter!

The Fall/Winter Catalog is Here!

The new catalog is here! I am so excited about it for many reasons. First, there are four new paper lines!

Angelee

Willoughby

Penelope

Reece

They have made the projects in the catalog easier to duplicate by creating 5 templates of designs that are featured in the book. The templates are on page 3, and then samples of each one are found scattered throughought the book. The samples that I made (Our Baby on page 55 and Hey Chick on page 89) use layout #5. The one on page 55 is my godson, Aidan! He is such a cutie pie!

If you are a punch person (which I am not) you will love the new Punch It icon throughout the book. They list all the coordinating punches with each stamp set. What a great idea!

Do you like step by step directions? This year, they put directions with each Inspiring Idea in the catalog! Plus, they have Inspiring Idea project cards in the back of the book that can be cut out, laminated, and put on a ring for easy access.

What are some of my must have new stamp sets?

Holly Swirls

G is for Gratitude

Linear Sentiments

If you want a catalog for your very own, just let me know! They are $4.95 each.

***I have started deleting the pictures of the SOLD sets as I ship them.

Happiness is...

...fudge from the South Bend Chocolate Company!!! When we went to Ohio a few years ago, my friend Meri and I discovered that Indiana has MUCH better rest stops on I-80 than Illinois does. Why? Because they sell fudge!

Meri recently went back to Ohio, and gave me this beautifully decorated box of fudge. There is nothing better than pretty chocolate! She uses her Scor Pal to score lines on the green DCWV paper, and used a piece of Pop Rockz paper and a white flower. Isn't is pretty?

Star Book

I made a Star Book!!!!

I took a class from my friend, Meri, on how to make a Star Book. Here it is closed. I made a Princess book for my princess, Snoopy. :)

Here is is from above. I wonder why they call it a Star Book... Ha! We used Mulberry Meadow paper from The Angel Company. The yellow is Die Cuts With a View paper, also from TAC.

Escape to San Antonio!

We went to San Antonio! The Angel Company had their Leadership Conference there this past month, and it was a blast! There is nothing like leaving Chicago in the winter to go to 70 degree weather to stamp with the girls. We stayed right on the Riverwalk, and our hotel was next to the Alamo! San Antonio is a beautiful city. Sorry I can't get Blogspot to put this entry into a normal order. It is all over the place!
