Just a quick post wishing you and your families a very Merry Christmas!
I have been a REALLY good girl this year! I have been keeping up with all my chores, I have been very helpful when asked to do something and I even cleaned up all the dog poo in the backyard last night. ;-) So for Christmas this year I would like you to bring me an iPad.
I promise to take really good care of it and I will never get sick of it! Oh and did I mention it is educational - well, sort of. :-)
To show you how much I will take care of it I have already made it a custom protector case using some of my new Stampin' Up! fabric called Sweet Stitches. Oh, just in case your elf's like it they can purchase some from me starting on January 4th (My Birthday) it will be in the NEW Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini Catalogue.
Now that everyone should have or will be receiving mine and Nick's Christmas cards I figured I would share them with the rest of the blogging world... :-)
I have to start off by saying I cannot take credit for this years amazing card as I CASEd it from Debbie Currier's 'FTL 144' card. I decided that if I was going to make 100 Christmas Cards in less then a month with everything else I have on my plate then I had better come up with a simple yet elegant design that would be easy to duplicate. Then I found Debbie's card and decided that I no longer need to come up with an idea of my own that I would just recreate her card. As you can see below the first card is a direct CASE of Debbie's original card and the second picture is the card with an added Marina Mist Satin Ribbon. I could not decide which card I liked better so I made 50 of each. :-)

Goodness, even with my photo box today's picture did not turn out looking to good... Clearly I need to stop taking my photos so early in the morning.
Till this jolly man arrives! :-)
Sorry for the lack of any real posts since Thursday... I have been so busy this last week I feel like I am greeting myself at the front door as I come and go. Between birthdays, Christmas shopping, Christmas baking, Christmas card making, my monthly card club/scrapbooking club and everything else every day life throws my way I am a non-stop women right now. Oh and on top of all of that my Occasions Mini (goes live to the public in January 2011) pre-order arrived on last Friday and I have yet to play with anything that I ordered. :-( It totally sucks because one of my favorite perks to being a demo is being able to get my hands on new toys before everyone else! I told myself I was not aloud to sit down and create anything until all my Christmas cards were done and I finished planning for my December card club and scrapbooking club. I am getting close but not there just yet...
Having said all of that I do have a card to share with you today. (Sorry about the picture quality it was 5:30 in the morning when I took the photo and even though I used my light box it still did not turn out the greatest.) About a month ago I decided to participate in a Wedding themed swap on the amazing Stampin' Up! demo site you have all heard me talk about called Stampin' Connection. Now normally weddings would not be my thing but all of a sudden it seems like everyone around me is getting engaged so I figure it would probably be a good time to have a few extra Wedding ideas on hand.
Yes, you read that right I am offering a FREE Card Class to anyone who places an order through me of $50.00 or more before taxes* and for anyone who joins my Stampin' Up! family of Scrapalicious Diva's between now and December 31st, 2010!
The class will be held on Wednesday, January 26th, 2011 at my house from 7-9:00pm. Make sure to check back next week as pictures are on there way!
*All club orders are excluded from this offer. - Sorry!
Happy Stampin'!
Why not stop by and visit me at the Ridge Meadows Christmas Craft Fair between 9am and 2pm at the Pitt Meadows Heritage Hall! (12460 Harris Road in Pitt Meadows)
I will be at table number 12! :-)
Happy Stampin'!
TGI... it's only Thursday. I woke up this morning all excited because it was Friday and I got to do a little crafting before work and then I opened my day-time/agenda and realized no it's only Thursday. Oh well such is life.
Today, I want to share with you my latest monthly scrapbooking club layout titled 'Say Cheese'. - Yes Dawn, another layout that goes to show you I just can't follow directions ;-) Ha-Ha! You may remember me saying I purchased an awesome scrapbooking club planner from Dawn Pritchard an amazing demo from Alberta! Well, apparently I have problems following Dawn's directions because so far none of my layouts have looked like hers. But in my defence they do follow the same general guidelines and look just as fabulous in the end. - At least I think they do.
Note to readers... You might want to grab a cup of tea before you sit down and read this post ;-)
A couple months ago now I was looking at my Candy Cane Christmas Designer Fabric wondering why the heck I bought it since I really don't like any of the fabric patterns it came with. But I knew because I bought it and so I had to do something with it and that is when I decided to pull out my sewing machine and make myself a cute little half apron. I was well on my way when all of a sudden my thread broke and I could not get my bobbin thread to pull back up. I was so frustrated I tried everything to make it work (Don't you just hate when you are half way through a project and can't finish?) but I couldn't get it to re-thread properly so I put my sewing machine away and left it there for months until Nick asked me to hem a pair of his pants. Completely forgetting that my sewing machine was broken or not working since I had no idea what was wrong with it, I pulled it out and sat down to hem his pants to wind up super frustrated again so I packed up my sewing machine and the next day I dropped it off at my local sewing machine doctor.
Less then a week later they called me and let me know it was ready for pick-up. Off I went to pick up so excited to get my sewing machine back only to arrive to a bill of $107.00!!! Yes $107.00 I couldn't believe it but what was I supposed to do leave my sewing machine there? No! So I took it home and hemmed Nick's pants and finally finished my half apron... (If you missed these posts I also made a bunch of Coffee Mug Cozies and a cute little Lunch Sack/Bag)
