This is the card I used for my Thank You cards from my 100 day celebration! This was a great celebration of the Lord Jesus – His healing power and His love.

Yes, if you came to 10/15 class you will remember making it! This uses some of the Sale-A-Bration Paper – Sweet Pea!
Thanks for celebrating with me!
Happy Stamping!
Cheryl (and Wendy)

It was brought to my attention – thanks Donna! – that I forgot the Feburary page so here it is:

We also used crystal effects and the white gel pen for this page. I love how easy the Stampin’UP! wheels are to use. Contact me to learn more!
Happy Stamping!

This must be spring! We have had temperatures in the 40’s this week and it is to stay there all week. At this rate will not have any snow left! This the the March flip Calendar page.

You can’t see it well but there is crystal effects on the small shamrocks on the left of the page. Yes, we had great fun with the white gel pen. You can make one of these fun calendar in the fall for 2011, check my events page for the time and place.

Two moms came over and made boxes (see this post for more information about the boxes) and the children do what????? Well, one slept (after a while) and the other watched over her. No, we don’t usually handle babysitting – this was a special time for my neighbor Audrey. The boxes you see are the two monkeys for February.

The mom’s!

The children!
Happy Stamping!

I know days ago – actually last month – I said I would share the girls’ tween’ page we would be doing. Here it is!

It is the same format as the boys only "girly"! We used the Designer Series Pack Paper for the top layer. Did you know it is just shy of 12 x 12 so we could layer it on Rose Red 12×12 cardstock and have a great border with no cutting. The chalk Board piece is from our Definitely Decorative great new catalog. The Post it notes are the only thing not Stampin’UP! The butterflies are from the new Beautiful Wings Emboslit and the large white butterfly was embossed from the stamp set Simple Friendship. I hope the girls will like their pages as much as the boys. There will be a piece of chalk attached to the front to write on the "chalkboard" with.
If you would like a workshop, specail party class or just a girls night out contact me to it up!
Happy Stamping!
Wendy & Cheryl
PS: The girls had a great time making these and LOVED the glitter!

The most imprtant part of stamping is friends! For us the social interaction is what we love best. Okay – when the UPS guy comes we love getting new toys too – but nothing is better than time spent playing with friends. (Yes, this is what our table looks like before and after class – that you don’t usually see – don’t tell Wendy I showed you!)

This is my friend Renee who needed (actually TIM her DH requested) a birthday card for a special friend who had just become a US citizen this past year so this was her first AMERICAN Birthday. So after hours and hours we came up with this card! I am just teasing! It did not take long at all. We actually looked at the Stampin’UP! big cattie and there on page 67 was the perfect card to case.

Of course we had to emboss the stars using craft ink and use the wonderful, soft, silky new Satin Ribbon from page 27 in the Occasions Mini for the red bar in the middle. All in all it was really a fast card to put together. Renee will tell you the hardest part was "random stamping of the stars" with Cheryl just saying: "stamp, don’t think!, stamp!" You would never guess that of Cheryl!!!
So when you need a birthday card, get well card or jsut want to come play – give us a call or check our schedule.
Come Play! Happy Stamping!

This is the last of the Spring Boxes we made this weekend. We still have a couple of complete sets you can purchase if you missed the class. Contact me here for more information.

This is May’s Flower pot. Noni loved this one best! It was a little harder to make as you had to FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS! and we know how much everyone loves to to that – NOT!

This is June and July! Now, if you were in Wisconsin with the weather being in the single digits and that was the HIGH for the day would you not have loved making this beach box! Darlene said she was going to leave it out to remind herself that winter does end!
Remeber it is still Sale-A-Bration which means FREE stamps for you! Ask me how!
Check out our calendar for some great classes coming up this month!
Happy Stamping!
