some samples from Stamp a Stack

These are 2 cards from our last Stamp a Stack...I have been crazy for these Rhonna Farrer swirls lately... This one was inspired by cdrhoades.
This one uses a modified kissing technique, a twisted kiss...I "kissed" the stamps together and twisted, kinda looks like tye-dyed, huh? This was inspired by a card I saw by bdrew on SCS.
This one wasn't from our class, but I needed a bridal shower card with a black and white theme...
Right now, we are getting into the beginning preps for our Mother's Day workshop, and our ALL DAY crop. On top of that I need to design my DD's birthday party invites (at least I have a theme), start on bridal shower invites for my cousin, get an idea for another recipe swap I joined, and come up with something spectaular for make for my mom and MIL for Mother's Day. Can you spell SWAMPED? Always have time to read though....at the moment I am reading "Prints Charming" by Rebeca Seitz. I recieved this book for hosting VSBN on SplitCoast Stampers. It's really intriguing and revolves around 4 friends brought together by scrapbooking. I highly recommend it to you, a good good, read...here is Rebeca's website for you to check out.

Back in the Saddle

Well, after that long vacation break (seemed like an eternity without school!) we are back to business! So many things going on too...First here is the scrapbook page I promised, uh ....a long time ago! It's even more appropriate as it seems we are going to get some real spring weather soon!

This layout was done using a Stampin' Up Simply Scrappin' Kit from SAB, Office Accouterments, Definitely Decorative Daisy (retired) and some extra Rhonna Farrer swirly stamps. I really like the color combo and the kit made it very easy to coordinate!

Next up is an Adult Stamp A Stack on Friday, April 13th. We will do our usual 8 cards for $20 and have a special raffle! RSVP to me or Toni...

We are doing a special Mother's Day Gift Set workshop on May 4th and 6th (Friday night and Sunday afternoon). This will be a great gift idea for any special "Mom" in your life. It will be 3 projects...a card, a mini tote, and an accordion album for $25. Call to reserve your place today!

Whew! And after that...we prepare for our first ALL DAY Crop! At the moment it is sold out but I will post if we have any cancellations...

Time to get ready for school! Have a great Day!

Update on the May crop...

Well folks, it looks like we are FULL! Right now, I have 4 people who confirmed thier checks are in the mail at this moment and as soon as I get them in my hands we are at maximum capacity! I will update and let you know if there are any cancellations or errors on my part (which I doubt LOL)...but for now, CLOSED! Thanks!

Scrapping again!

Oh, it's sooooo nice to scrapbook again! I was sucked into the awesomeness of stamping and forgot my old baby! We went to a PJ crop, 6pm to 6am and had so much fun! Here's what I did, along with a 6X6 Disney theme album and a 6X6 album for Chris' 2nd birthday. Whew! Seems like a lot but the 2 mini albums were kits with everything all nice and picked out and matching. It's really a great idea when you want to put something nice together but don't want to put the time into it. I use my 12 X 12 albums to try new techniques or long time consuming ones. Just wait till you see the pages I came up with for VSBN! Virtual Scrapbooking Night on SCS is April 13 & 14 and I am hostessing a challenge. Much like VSN but you get 2 hours for each challenge. I cannot wait to post them! I haven't seen Toni since Tuesday (shocking!) but when I see her again I will get the page we did for our stamp club.

oh BTW...what do you think of the blog header? I have been struggling with editing my HTML (why didn't I pay attention in college?) and I am still not happy with it, but I have all weekend to work on it...DH is doing OT on Saturday...

Oh....more exciting news! Toni (my friend and business partner BTW) has convinced her DH that they shouldn't rent their basement out and should let us use it as a classroom! How cool! So, from now on all our classes and small crops will be in the comfort of Toni's very spacious basement! Can't wait to fill it up with all our stuff! Hope to see you LI locals at some classes...I have some great ideas for a few and will be posting them as we set dates!

So................. hooray, it's almost Friday!!! Enjoy the weekend!
