Fun Techniques!!!

***Updated 4/24/09 with link to past Tutorial....
We had a big group Stampin Up get together last Saturday! It was super fun and I learned so much! The focus was on techniques and I was asked to show the Dazzling Diamond Dust technique.. some of you may remember when I did the tutorial on this blog a long time ago (you can find it here ), I love this technique. It is easy, fast and creates a lot of wow with little effort! That may sound lazy but truth is I am probably just like you...limited stamping time! So I want the biggest bang for my efforts!
Here are some of the samples I created for my display....

I will get some more close ups of the other projects to share in the coming days!

Kids Class was a blast and Kits Left

Well the Spring Break Kids class was a blast! I had 10 kids come and we had so much fun! I love to stamp and create with kids! Below are all the projects they made. The projects were the same but they had some choice for colors and designer paper.
***********I have 5 kits left from this class that I am offering as a Class to Go...see the end for the details on how to get one for your child to do at home!

Here are some close ups of the projects the kids made. They all were a little different colors except the cards. The boys did the ninja turtle card and all the projects in boy colors! I didn't get pics of their projects before they left though!

Kits to Go!
I have 5 kits left ready to send out... Cost is $15 which includes packaging/shipping to you and shipping can be combined if purchasing more than one kit. Local pick up is available. Each project will be packaged in their own container/bag and will include step by step instructions to put projects together. Kit colors will vary and all are super cute but I will take requests on color schemes that I have. **I am also offering the mini album with butterfly and book mark as a seperate kit for $5 which includes shipping to you.
