Home Decor


For the next 5 days, I thought I would share with you some home decor ideas from Stampin Up's Eclectic Circles Décor Elements.
Décor Elements is vinyl artwork for walls, mirrors, windows, or other hard, smooth surfaces. Stampin' Up! has long advocated decorating your home using Definitely Decorative stamp sets. Décor Elements takes that same idea and uses a different medium to accomplish the same mission--making your home a beautiful representation of your style! Whether you want to spice up the walls of their house or frame a piece for display, Décor Elements is easy to apply, easy to love, and easy to remove.
Stampin' Up! has incredible artwork that lends itself to beautiful home décor images. Our artwork really stands out when you see it on a wall, a mirror, or a window. Through our product development, we've been able to achieve intricate designs because of our manufacturing process. We believe that this different approach is just one differentiator between Stampin' Up! and the competition.
Another differentiator is that the Décor Elements images and techniques available also coordinate with our existing products. We brought you Two-Step Stampin', so why not two-step and three-step wall art that will really catch your customers' attention in our exclusive colors? For example, our Ginormous Flowers Décor Elements has multi-colored images create by two- and- three-step vinyl application.

National Scrapbooking Month

For many people, scrapbooking has played an important role in their lives. It may have started with something simple: the first time they placed a sticker on a piece of paper or picked up a camera. But no matter what brought a person to scrapbooking, all scrapbookers have something in common with Stampin' Up! demonstrators: they love to create.

During the month of May, we are celebrating National Scrapbooking Month.
Stampin Up can help to inspire your creativity whether you are an avid scrapbooker or brand-new to the hobby. Stampin' Up! has amazing offers in store for you throughout the month of May so be sure to check back.

Thank You

Isn't this adorable? It's called a scrapling and measures 2" x 4-1/4". You can make them any size you want as the idea is to use your scraps.

Milk Carton Treat Holder

This was my project for a recent shoebox swap. It was the last project of the day and many people had gone home, but they really wanted to make this. The back is just like the front, so there are 4 little milk carton treat boxes. The bottom of each carton has a secret opening so I just have to insert a gift and it's ready to go.

Thanks

I love these little baskets, they are made with a Sizzix Bigz Die, the tag is also part of the die. We used So Saffron CS for the basket, the ribbon is Tangerine Tango, tag is chocolate chip.


I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Thanks for dropping by.

I started this layout at the last crop I went to. I wanted to use up these SU Rose Red Die Cut flowers. This is one of my most simplest layouts, but I like it. Thanks so much for stopping by. I'd love to hear your comments. Just click on the comment below each post.

This is one of my very first scrapbook pages I did and amazingly I still like it. I added pictures over the weekend along with the date I found on the back of the pictures. There's no title - I need to work on that. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Sunset in Afghanistan

I received this today from Pastor's wife, Carolyn. Their daughter is an apache helicopter pilot currently in Afghanistan. At the top of the mountain, you can see one of the helicopters. I would like to wish each of you a Happy Easter.


Blessings,

A Few Lines

Today was spent going thru picture albums finding pictures to add to scrapbook pages while KC took his nap. I managed to complete 3 of them & will post as soon as I can.


I also chatted with my Grandmother on the phone. I had been told by my Aunt Judy that Grandma is starting to forget things. I noticed it today. Yesterday was Edith's (a friend and fellow tennant) birthday (Friday) and her daughter brought in a bottle of liquid that you can blow bubbles with. She enjoyed that and I am sure they got the giggles. There were pictures taken so I e-mailed the manager and hope to get a few for my scrapbook.

I wanted to attend Church services tonight, but around 4pm I got really sleepy so took a short nap instead. Fixed a light supper, watched some tv, played Mahjong Garden on Pogo, now I am off for a shower and some sleep. Hope to attend Sunrise Services & Easter Breakfast.
