Tuesday Scrapbooking Cancealed this week

So sorry about any inconvenience this may have caused anyone. But we had to cancel Tuesday scrap booking this week because of the weather (all that snow!) and Robin has sick kids. Plan on next week!

What do you think of my snow blower? We pull out the big guns around here to move snow.

Easter Cards

You all know how I just love to create with my new Big Shot, especially using the top note die. Here is a rabbit and a chick cards I have created for Easter. I wanted to hold a Easter card camp for these cards, but I just don't have time. So I'm going to offer these cards in a kit. All you will need to do is ink edges, stamp greeting, and assemble.







Easter Card Kit
$12.00
* each kit will contain the disposable supplies to create 4 bunny cards, 4 chick cards and instructions
* designer series paper and brad color will vary in each kit
* 8 envelopes included
* order deadline March 23, 2009 (Monday)
* add $5.00 for postage, if you are unable to pick up your kit from me

The stamp set I used is A Good Egg $25.95 (page 29, Item 114974),
When you order this card kit from me, you can also get the coordinating stamp set at 20% off ($20.75)
















What you will need to complete the project:

So Saffron Ink Pad
Pretty in Pink Ink Pad
Tangerine Tango Ink Pad
White Gel Pen
Black Pen
small hole punch (circles on bunny feet)
adhesive (2-way glue pen works great)
dimensionals or pop up glue dots
scissors
sponges or daubers
greeting stamp set
black ink pad

FUN projects

Just two scrapbook pages I made for my daughters Baptism. All the guests could sign the page and leave her a special note. She has enjoyed reading all the notes everyone left her.

Colors: Kiwi Kiss, Pink Pirouette, Regal Rose
Big Shot Dies: Swirls, Simple Flower
Notes: I just sponged the middle of each flower with Regal Rose so that the centers would stand out. For the letters I used my circuit, note the wrong date, ooppps! I had to change the 9 to an 8. What was I thinking?















Yes, I'm back in as a leader in cub scouts.
This is the invitation I made for our Blue and Gold Banquet
Does it look like a pocket knife?
I put all the Banquet information on the blades for each scout.
I was really tickled on how they turned out.
Colors: Summer Sun, Basic Gray, Brilliant Blue
Other: Gold brads, square punches ( 1 1/4" & 1 3/8"), scout symbol punch (purchased on clearance at a scrapbook store 5 plus years ago, didn't know if I would ever use it).

Magnet Board
you could use these magnet boards on your fridge, filing cabinet, school locker..... ETC.
I covered 5"X7" metal sheets (precut, I think its used for roofing) with SAB designer series paper and ribbon.
I created the magnets from the designer brads (page 175), by just cutting off the tab parts of the brad and glueing the brad using Tombow glue to a circle magnet.
Use your Crop-A-dile to punch holes in metal.

Branch Out, Stamp Set

This is my FAVORITE new stamp set, Branch Out (Item # 113200) $22.95 page 100. I think the reason I like it so much is that it so different than any other set I've purchased, plus it works for all 4 seasons. Here are a few samples I have made so far.
