Here's a fun, new idea for a Calendar.

This calendar was made with the Big Shot Scallop Die (115950) to create all the different months.  The saying is from the Word Play stamp step from page 156 of the idea catalog.

Each month is kept in the drawer and the drawer provides a nice easel stand to display the month.

This particular month has Snowflakes because in Wisconsin you are supposed to have snow in January!

The January saying comes from the Full of Life stamp set.  You can find that on page 159 of the idea catalog.

Wendy and Julie – can you see all the 3D items!  Julie puts this up each year – she always says I have too many to show them all and I always am worried I will not have enough.  We have our card samples displayed in a new way that Cheryl came up with so they could see them easier and take pictures of course!

Cheryl is who really runs the booth and says how everything will be displayed, she is the "boss"  behind the scenes, we could not even start to do this without her.  This year she was teaching a class for three hours during set up so we had to go by pictures from last year until she came back and changed it…. of course you knew she would!

This is how you feel about your picture being taken after packing the van, unpacking the van, setting up the booth and then re arranging the booth, not counting being up cutting and prepping for three days.  Notice the clothes in the background for us to change into before the Make n' Take Session starts.  There is to be 185 for just this Friday PM session, then there is classes and daily Make n' Takes, and well as a session on Saturday PM.

This is Kim – one of our new downlline – helping to set up the retired stamps for sale.  The Make n' Take table is just beyond the stamps for sale table.  We did not get a picture of Linda – but she comes and keeps all the money straight each year for us.

We just received our final numbers on Monday for our classes so we have been cutting and prepping like mad.  You don't want to cut for 40 people for a class and only have 6 sign up!  We actually had to have our class pictures and class description ready in August, so we knew what we were doing we just had to wait for the final numbers… can you say cutting card stock 24 hours a day for the  last few days!

We always have lots of help for OOAK.  Our downline and stamping friends are awesome.

Hope you enjoyed this little glimpse into our world.

Below is a picture of some of the pages we will be making.

 This is a great gift for everyone, works great on a desk for Dad or class teacher, or on the counter for Grandma.  You will make a different insert for each month.  The cost for the class is $10.00 for the first calendar and $5.00 for each additional calendar.  Preregistration and prepayment is required to hold a seat for you as seating will be limited.  Contact me today to reserve your seat!

Happy Stamping!

2011 IS HERE! 

Happy New Year!  Did you have Black Eye Peas on New Years Day?  This is a tradition I learned when living down south – and is a great excuse to make a huge pan of peas.

I want to share with you the January picture for our CD flip calendar.  This is one of our most popular classes each year. 

Yes, it is a n snowman – are you surprised!  You can just barely see all the glitter on this page.  I do love my snow and snowmen. 

If you would like more information on how to make this calendar contact me. 

We actually don’t have a lot of snow  anymore.  There was a warm front that came in – all the way up to the high 30′s, so we are hoping for more snow at the end of the week.

Happy Stamping!

Cheryl & Wendy

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!

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.

Remember this is the LAST MONTH of Sale-A Bration!  If you want free stamps contact me today!

Happy Stamping!
