Queen of cover! Mommy and Me Workshop.

I guess you can call me the Queen of covering anything that can be.My first Kids workshop turn out great. I think they had fun, I know the Moms did. But putting candy and goodies out just for them, making them nice and hyper right before they go home was the part I loved best...Sorry Moms.
They made these cute little clipboards just to give their new teachers for the first day of school. I made it super easy by doing almost everything. They just glued, stamped 2 thing, and got to use 2 punches. The age ranges were 5 to 10 years and all of them had no problem, with mommies help of coarse.
I'll be doing more of these through out their school year lives for the occasions when gifts are needed for teachers. So if you would like to join any keep an eye on my EVENTS at my Demonstrator Business Website over to the right.

SO-Shelli and SBS Challange.

Here is my card for 2 challenges I love. I really don't do to many challenges so busy with my life's bio (Going to publish it in the near future...say in about 50 years) But each day just adds to it. So-Shelli our great leader of SU, I bow to her. Just call her the QUEEN of all Stamping world, I do anyways. Remember my opinion, to yours....BLAH BLAH BLAH! She has put a challenge on her blog for a card to CELEBRATE 20 Years. It must say celebrate somewhere and that it be creative. OH and She would like to see mostly Stampin UP stuff used she's kind of bias, don't blame her.

I'm also using this card for my Sisters challenge, they have been so great...expanding my head!!!
Sisters, Everyone needs them, their blogs are to the right . Check them all out, most are in the UK, Scotland and the US. Oh and Whales (sorry Rachel) there is some one else in Whales also just can't remember at this moment, will visit them soon and correct it later.
I used the NEW Haiku paper and Upsy Daisy set, and 7/8 So Saffron poly twill. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!

I'm BAAAACK!

Hi everyone , so sorry been away awhile and have lots to post. Had a successful Stamp-A-Stack this weekend and here are some pics of what we did.
I am so loving this new stuff from SU and even if I don't care for some of it someone else loves it. So that is being Stamped in my brain(what is not my style is someone else). Sock Monkey gives me the Creeps, but my friend loves him, so she ordered it and I borrowed it. It's so GREAT to have friends that are demos and not Demos. We share what we love. That's such a benefit to my business.
The beauty of having lots of friends who love it as much as I do, they order different things than I would, so I get the benefit of being able to share their stamps...remember that. Swapping Stamp Set Buddies.
The last card I also used for our local Demo group Inky Angels swap I used the NEW Organic Outlines Stamp set and the NEW larger oval punch plus the new colors ,which you have seen in previous posts. I will post some pics later of our leader and my Up-Line, have to ask her permission first. Sock Monkey is paper pieced with some new clothes , so he wasn't naked...Ha Ha! He also has the new Satin ribbon in Kiwi and Vanilla kind of hard to tie, Because it sooo soft, BUT great in the end results.

Answers to your Questions.

For all who are asking where I got the Mini Clip boards for the post below...I found them at AC Moore's Dollar bins. They have 4 per package...but I got them quite awhile ago...so I hope they still have them if you are looking.
Now How I covered them...I inked the back and sides first. Then cut the first layer to fit in all 4 sides then Used Stampin UP's 3/16 corner rounder on all 4 corners. Then Layered and embellished as I saw fit. It was that easy!

A Huge Shoutout!

Welcome to the newly redone Blog , it's a three column. One side dedicated to Stampin UP, the middle for pics and such and the right to my blogging world. Up late at night making it with the help of Rachel a blogging sister. Such a talented stamper, making her cards with things from around the house, so beautiful, visit her blog and check them out. She's also very talented with the puter.
Now thanks for the awards from my fellow sisters Rachel and Carol visit their blogs, Such inspiration's to me. Also one of my sisters Janette is giving blog candy away for her first year of blogging, she should be receiving it, for a truly GREAT BLOG, so pop by her blog and wish her a Happy Blog Birthday.

OK finally...NO the painting is not done, but I did get away to play with the new Bella Rose Designer paper, you will be able to order this Aug 11. I truly love the new in colors. You will see Red Riding Hood, Pink Pirouette , and Kiwi Kiss on the pic with this post. The new pink is truly a beautiful pink. These mini clip boards were easy to cover and I really didn't stamp anything, just sponged the back with ink. See you all soon.

NEW STUFF!

Hi, have some great pictures to show everyone. Some are of the new Stampin UP stuff with a card we made but designed by Faith Clark, I made her a watermark to protect her creativity, some are of the Swallow Tail butterflies my friend and Upline Melissa got my family started on. They are starting to hatch and very beautiful.

This weekend I attended a Reaching for the Stars Red Carpet Gala, this was a special treat I won from my group of local Demos, Melissa Ellis and Faith Clark are matriarchs of this group. We are all 1st 2nd 3rd...downlines of these two ladies and they are the best. They put together an incentive plan for the group, of sales, workshops, meetings, online learning and more. We would get a star for each thing we did. The top 15 got to go automatically and 5 names were drawn and I won one of those spots. We were treated to our own glass of our choice and they filled it up with our choice of beverage;) a beautiful hand made bracelet, and the most scrumptious dinner. Then were to make 2 project designed by Melissa and Faith and all the give aways...so much fun!!! Wish everyone could have a GREAT! upline like I do.

Well back to painting!!!
