Occassions Mini Try It Club





The card here (designed by Tonya) features the notecards, poly-twill and the ribbon slide from the new Silver Hodgepode.

Yesterday I ran into Target and their chocolate was NINETY percent off! How could I not stock up - so here is my stash!!



All this 'stampers quality' chocolate for UNDER $30! The bags of Ghiradellis - were 29cents!!

Happy Valentines!







PS, just to prove that I am surrounded by wonderfully, creative stamping women - all of todays samples were made by others:)

Some sample requests!



While at camp, everyone gets to see the sample in real life - of course they always look better that way..... These are some cards that were pulled out as special by them.... which is fun for me - to get to show them off - because I didn't design any of them!




The top card I got as a swap, the middle two are from my upline in California and the bottom is a make-n-take from our past demonstrator day.
I am off for a day of stamping, and evening at my sister's Lia Sophia party - then tomorrow I will be in my office all day - finalizing orders and finishing up my taxes:) all capped off with a swim meet. For you Hoosiers, do you think the weathermen have tonight's forecast right, this time?

I hope to get projects ready and posted soon - I have a couple of them done - but need to get another 3 or 4.




I think most of Indianapolis woke up this morning HUGE Giant fans:) What a fun game! To say that there is a lot of, um, "not so nice feelings" in regards to the Patriots would be an understatement.
Each look of shock on their face was met with a cheer from here! Way to go Eli!


If you have not noticed how much I am enjoying using the Rub Ons and Felt Flowers from Stampin' Up! - then just keep scrolling. This is a 3D frame I got at Target on clearance last year (maybe $2?) - added some rub ons to the inside and on the glass - a few flowers embellished with pearls from the Pretties kit - easy!

The cello bag was one of our EIGHT make-n-takes and the other two cards I received as trades. My trade also used the set, and is a card we will make at February camp, so keep watching for that!








This adorable chipboard book was designed by Annette as part of her anti-hoarding DSP class. She called it her "love book" and it would be a great Valentine gift for someone you love! It is a simple project, chipboard, dsp, ribbons and RUB ONS!
The mailbox is from Annette as well, from the dollar spot at Target. What an enchanting presentation for someone special on Valentines!

Fun with the Girls!


Debbie, Shelley, Annette and Taryn "cooked up some creativity" - we had make-n-takes, demo's trades and more. Thanks to that AND to the fact that I have finally found some stamping time - I will have lots of stuff to post over the next several days - so make sure you keep checking back!








There will also be some online web specials that coordinate with some of the items shown - these will be 24 hour specials - so you will need to respond quickly if you want them!




For today, enjoy these pictures - the girls greeted us in CUTE costumes, stamped packing paper from SU! boxes in chef hats and aprons:)
Get ready for a week of inspiration!

The card on the left was made by my dear friend Theresa, I loved it, but didn't have the right materials. The one on the right is my adaptation that we did at camp on Friday. You can't see it in the picture, but the backgrounds have been embossed over parts of the images in white and then the second parts of the stamps layered over that.
