Genuine

I really like how this turned out! I've taken the Scallop Big Shot Die & cut notches into each scallop.

Cute As A Bug

Here I have taken a punched out circle & traced around it with a marker to create a scalloped design. Hope you like!

Class Offering - Gather 'Round Your Memories

If you have kids, come & create this adorable mini album and send it to a family member as a gift. Or, if it's too cute to give away, keep it and show off your beautiful children or grandchildren - and your creativity.

We will use the Petal Party, a fabulous Simply Scrappin Kit. You will play with the Stampin Up Sizzix Die Cut Machine - The Big Shot & the Clear Circle Die. Plus, you will have Die Cuts leftover from the kit to make greeting cards with or put in an album.

The class fee is $17.50 which includes all supplies. You do not need to bring adhesive to this class. Class fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. Class fees must be paid no later than 2 weeks prior to class. This allows me time to determine how many supplies are needed, order them, and have pre-cut in time for the class. I will post this date here, also. I accept PayPal, personal checks & cash. Contact me today as there are limited seats available.

I Can See!

I received a call today saying my glasses were in, so I eagerly went to pick them up. It felt very strange to be wearing glasses, I think I lost mine last fall. I was able to get some clip-ons too. I've never had sunglasses with my prescription before, but since they have gotten so bad, I thought it was pretty important. I celebrated by going to Barnes & Noble & picking up "The Shack." I'm looking forward to reading it. Pastor is going to have a discussion forum on it at the end of the summer. Tonight, I spent time going thru some recent magazines. A few weeks ago I purchased a scrapbooking magazine & found instructions on how to print in white with a solid color background, something that I've been trying to achieve for months. Once I laid it down, I forgot where I had read it. Well, I finally found the info & I was able to do it. Now, I am trying to figure out how to print my journaling lines within a circle. I've figured out how to print the lines to flow in a circle, though. I just finished going thru some papers that I have held onto which I couldn't read, read them, then tossed 'em into the trash. One small stack off of my dining table. Yippee!!

Many of you are probably off today for the holiday. Have a safe & fun weekend.

Later.

Apologies

The projects I have for you have scallops, but only a couple of them were made using the Scalloped Edge Punch. This one was created by using the Big Shot & the Bigz Die Scallop Circle. You can dress up your scallops with a Paper Piercer & punch holes n the scallops. Here I used Real Red & Mellow Moss CS, Sweet Slumber Specialty DSP (retired), Bashful Blue Die Cut Flowers (retired) and a Real Red Brad.

Thanks for dropping in!

Deal of the Week Project

This card not only shows the scalloped edge layered but also an image was stamed in the scallops.

Wow! Look at all of the beautiful buttons on the left. I'd like to thank Michele Laycock for those. She provides them at no charge for the Stampin Up Demonstrators. Her work is so pretty. I hope to have a new blog design by her this Fall.

There is so much to talk about. I hope you can take a few minutes to look at our new catalogs, even if you're not into stampin or scrappin. If you would like to look at one or purchase one for $9.95, please let me know.

Are you a quilter? If so, check out the Big Shot and Dies. You can use material with them!

Do you like home decor? I know you will love the Definitely Decorative catalog. Give a look see.

Next, we a have a new promo called Deal of the Week. Each week of July, Stampin Up will offer a new product at a much reduced price! This week is the Scalloped Edge Punch. It will give your projects a soft & pretty look. This week I will post some projects I made using this punch so you can some different ways to use it.

Manhattan Flower

Welcome back! Another project started awhile back & just now getting finished. The card base is Baja Breeze (retired), layered on top is Whisper White CS stamped with Baja Breeze & the 5th Avenue Floral stamp set, the bottom piece is Urban Oasis DSP. The beautiful ribbon is Whisper White Organza. The flower us made from Vellum CS, Big Shot, & the Manhattan Flower Textured Impressions Die. Once it was cut, I then used a Sponge Dauber and Baja Breeze, Night of Navy, Basic Gray Ink to cover. Hope you like it.

Stampin Up Savings!

I just added 2 promos to the left, feel free to check them out, just click on the picture.

Thanks . . . I Needed That

Hello all. I have been out playing today so not much done around the house. Lily's Dad passed away last week and the funeral was today. I'm so sad for her.

Ran an errand downtown, stopped by my LSS (local scrapbook store) to use my 30% birthday coupon. Ended up with a new book on card folds. Looking forward to trying them out. Stopped off at Golden Corral for a late lunch. Called my friend Joyce & ended up going over to her house for supper. Thanks ladies for the burgers, beans, and strawberry shortcake, and some good conversation. Joyce & I talked stamping most of the evening! So it's like 10:30 when I leave. Egads. I get home, watch Anderson Cooper on CNN for awhile. That's when I tell myself that I don't have anything ready to post here tonight. Uh oh! I thought maybe I could get by that info instead of a project. I was able to add the July projects for you but the catalog wasn't ready to go. Will have to try again tomorrow. Okay, so now I have to find a project. I check out the SU (stampin up) website to see what's new there. Found this cute card, and say "hey Deloris this is cute and fast." That brings me to now which is 2:43 AM. So much for getting an early night! Oh well, you were worth it. Have a great Wednesday. See you back here on the flip side!
