LOL These little Bunnies were so much fun to put together! The Page was one that my Scrapbook Club friends did last month and the card was a matching one that the Stamping Club did! Scrappers can use this anytime of the year when they get to scrapin their Easter pics! To make these bunnies you will need the following punches: Lg. Oval, Sm. Oval, 1 3/8 in circle, 1/2 in circle &Trio Flower. I used the 1/4 in circle for the nose and eyes by now realized it is retired (oops..missed that!) Post in the comments if you need other suggestions for the nose and eyes. We also used the Basic Black stampin' write marker for the whiskers and details on the feet and the white gel pen for the highlights in the eyes and on the flower! On the Scrapbook page I used the Wide Oval punch and then stamped images from "A Good Egg" Stamp set for detials on the egg. This punch bunny is not my orignal idea.. there are so many creative demos out there that share their wonderful ideas! It is great to be a demonstrator for that alone!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.inker.stampinup.net/">Head on over to my online store to purchase these great punches!</a> Click Shop Now..<br />***Purchase $35 or more in my online store or by <a href="mailto:dhelt1@juno.com">e-mailing me</a> during the month of April & purchase at least one punch and I will mail you the bunny card and pieces to make one extra bunny for another card or scrapbook page!

I had some Internet problems! Some of my favorite stampers came over on Sunday & Monday for our monthly "club"meeting. These are a few of the projects we made. Before you go any further I should explain how I do my Scrapbook pages for my clubs. I design them not knowing what pictures I or my club members might put on these pages, I try to keep the pages as wide open as possible, so that we can put as many pictures as we possibly can on each page. If you don't have a bunch of photos for the page, no worries either use a large size photo and jornaling or mementos of an event!<span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family:georgia, 'times new roman', times, hiraminpro-w3, 'ms mincho', serif;font-size:13px;"> </span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/S1y6hjsW0zI/AAAAAAAAKJY/eroZTFty_TI/s1600-h/oct2009+399.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 182px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/S1y6hjsW0zI/AAAAAAAAKJY/eroZTFty_TI/s200/oct2009+399.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430420336381711154" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/S1y6iptYNzI/AAAAAAAAKJw/Epxz_jp_FOc/s1600-h/oct2009+397.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/S1y6iptYNzI/AAAAAAAAKJw/Epxz_jp_FOc/s200/oct2009+397.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430420355176478514" /></a><br />These pages use the FREE set called Happy Moments from the <a href="http://204.228.150.61/catalogs/NovCatalogs/SAB_10_US.pdf">Sale-A-Bration catalog</a>! I love these presents, they have 2 of my favorites, polka-dots & stripes! I used the color combination of So Saffron, Taken with Teal, Ch. Chip, Old Olive & Rose Red. I am not very good at color combinations so I often take a look in the section of the Idea Book & Catalog. Every Designer Paper now list the colors in the pack, so I know that if Stampin Up! Says they look good together I am good!! LOL This color combo came from the Sweet Pea Designer paper in the new Occasions Mini Catalog!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/S1y6hz3IH7I/AAAAAAAAKJg/fdBvxWMy95Q/s1600-h/oct2009+400.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 170px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/S1y6hz3IH7I/AAAAAAAAKJg/fdBvxWMy95Q/s200/oct2009+400.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430420340721852338" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/S1y6iEwcrkI/AAAAAAAAKJo/RBf8dTVkP5Y/s1600-h/oct2009+396.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/S1y6iEwcrkI/AAAAAAAAKJo/RBf8dTVkP5Y/s200/oct2009+396.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430420345257242178" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/S1zBG7DX5TI/AAAAAAAAKJ4/TRYdKKsoQk4/s1600-h/oct2009+401.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/S1zBG7DX5TI/AAAAAAAAKJ4/TRYdKKsoQk4/s200/oct2009+401.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430427575377192242" /></a><br />These pages use the new <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=117153">Sending Love Specialty Designer</a> paper from the <a href="http://204.228.150.61/catalogs/NovCatalogs/SAB_10_US.pdf">Occasions Mini Catalog</a> along with the new Epoxy Brads! OHHHH...I am in love with both! When use this paper you do not need much else because it is sooo beautiful. It has glittery designs on on side of All the papers in the pack. i can not tell you enough good things about it. I think over 1/2 the ladies from the scrapbooking club ordered, and I know one ordered 2 packs! I used the 1 3/4 in, 1 3/8 in & 1 in circle punches to create the paper rosette. We then used a new <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=117270">Real Red Epoxy Brad</a> in the center. These Rosette are beautiful and so easy to make.

Started out Friday night stamping and laughing the night away with my awesome friend Melissa! She came over to keep me company while I stamped my samples for the next days demonstration on the baby wipe techinique and I even talked her in to doing some swap cards for me! Thanks a bunch Melissa, we had a great time! On to Saturday...woke up early and hurried over to our demonstrator get together where we learned 10 new techinques and got to try them all! I presented the baby wipe techinique and the others were oh so much fun to do! Plus, I got to catch up and have a good time with my Stampin Up! Family of demos! Nothing bettter than, learning new techniques, getting new ideas, chatting with friends and STAMPING all at the same time! I have some samples for you from that day...first up are two of my baby wipe technique samples from Saturday....... <div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/SnZLLtcFZQI/AAAAAAAAIO0/FWO8qUARSus/s1600-h/July2009+119.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365558670606558466" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 166px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/SnZLLtcFZQI/AAAAAAAAIO0/FWO8qUARSus/s320/July2009+119.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/SnZLLZHm28I/AAAAAAAAIOs/MNOVN1AKdew/s1600-h/July2009+113.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365558665151962050" style="WIDTH: 256px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/SnZLLZHm28I/AAAAAAAAIOs/MNOVN1AKdew/s320/July2009+113.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><div>The stamp set is Autumn Days and it is new in the Idea Book and Catalog. I used Chocolate Chip and a new incolor, dusty durango ink & paper. I also used some of the fabulous dusty durango polka dotted ribbon! I just can't get enough of that stuff!!! Don't forget I am offering samplers of this over in my store...<a href="http://www.scrapstampstore.blogspot.com/">click here </a>for info!</div><div>Next up is a sample from my fellow demonstrator and a member of my downline, Sandi Dailey.

I have been MIA for a bit....but I did want to let you know I am still around....we have had a family emergency. My youngest Shelby was admitted to the hospital on Thursday...They have diagnosed her with ITP, which is a blood disorder where her body basically kills of her platelet cells in her blood. Her Platelet count was down to 9000 so it was really dangerous. We didn't know what was wrong with her...she had been brusing easily and alot over the past month or so which concerned me so I took her in and they did blood test to check her out. This is what they found and let me tell you I was freaking when the dr called me and told me I need to take her to the ER asap but doing better now that I understand what it is and she has had a sucessful treatment for it...so needless to say we have been at the hospital til today which didn't leave much time for stamping or thinking really...I am exausted but will be back later this week after I catch up on everything else! Here is a cute picture of my sweet Shelby from the hospital...she has to wear a helment til her platelets come up so there is no chance of a brain bleed if she hits her head! She actually likes it! So I will be back with some more ideas and such soon! to those who were planing on attending the 5 for $5 last Friday that I had to cancel on...I will be rescheduling it...<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/SjXC_3xMtSI/AAAAAAAAHGU/1jTSvEqIAEw/s1600-h/SANY1502.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347394535130182946" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/SjXC_3xMtSI/AAAAAAAAHGU/1jTSvEqIAEw/s200/SANY1502.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/SjXC_YnrR1I/AAAAAAAAHGM/MywDmREnZcA/s1600-h/SANY1508.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347394526768744274" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/SjXC_YnrR1I/AAAAAAAAHGM/MywDmREnZcA/s200/SANY1508.JPG" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer">~ Darcie ~ dhelt1@juno.com</div>Darcie Helthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18025862929887872100noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2829921392236638213.post-89631387205031175562009-06-07T23:16:00.003-05:002009-06-07T23:23:31.020-05:005 for $5 Class This Friday!<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/SiyRvjjZ6uI/AAAAAAAAHC8/YwmvNj8YZHE/s1600-h/SANY1488.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344807103965555426" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/SiyRvjjZ6uI/AAAAAAAAHC8/YwmvNj8YZHE/s200/SANY1488.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Please join me this Friday, June 12<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">th</span> from 7 -9pm for a </div><div>5 for $5 card class!

I can't remember a day I layed around and did just about nothing! I think I am on the mend though but I couldn't muster up energy to do much of anything today! I did however find some samples to share with you of some of my favorite stamps that are on the Last Chance list you can <a href="http://scrapstamp.blogspot.com/2009/06/last-chance-sale-for-stamps-and.html">find here.</a> Enjoy and don't let these get away...after June 30th they are gone forever!<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/SiyJdnXDyEI/AAAAAAAAHCM/Q575pffX_ys/s1600-h/SANY1486.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344797999656847426" style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 118px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/SiyJdnXDyEI/AAAAAAAAHCM/Q575pffX_ys/s200/SANY1486.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/SiyJd6KyTsI/AAAAAAAAHCU/Y9pjQiiR7J8/s1600-h/SANY1487.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344798004705644226" style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/SiyJd6KyTsI/AAAAAAAAHCU/Y9pjQiiR7J8/s200/SANY1487.JPG" border="0" /></a> </div><div>This one uses Great Grad...I love this set and made many of these gift card holders for upcoming open houses because all graduates want cash of course!

GASP! Shocker I know, butI decided to share anyway, you may not even notice (now your looking right?) but if you do, you will know that I am not a perfect stamper even though I may have tricked you into thinking so!

I was up late last Wed, way too late I might add, working on these gifts for teachers, bus drivers and aids at the kids school as an end of year thank you. But you know, that this how I roll.. LOL I had a ton of fun making these and using all the designer paper. You can see my origianl post <a href="http://scrapstamp.blogspot.com/2009/05/designer-series-paper-double-pocket-bag.html">here</a> along with some additional pictures of the inside. All the bags included (4) 3x3 note cards & envelopes and the other pocket held some candy, chocolate of course! I used the All Ovals set along with the Lg Oval and Scalloped Oval punch on all the bags and cards. This set and the designer paper made it sooo easy to whip these up! I really love the set, it can be found in the Occasions Mini catalog along with the scalloped Oval Punch. I really think it is a must have set...I took a picture of all the designs I made to share with you.... I hope to be able to stamp tonight if I can stay up. My stamping time is after everyone goes to bed but unfortunately I have a bad cold and might not make it. I know...who gets a cold in June right? Lucky me.... You will probably have to click on the pictures for a bigger one or to see detail...I made them small so they wouldn't take up so much space! Enjoy! </div><div align="center"><br /></div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/SirnnPMYf5I/AAAAAAAAHBY/6pWD8-oqnf0/s1600-h/June2009+009.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344338569107898258" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 128px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/SirnnPMYf5I/AAAAAAAAHBY/6pWD8-oqnf0/s200/June2009+009.jpg" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/Sirnmq5QLOI/AAAAAAAAHBQ/ZydwjmlQsPs/s1600-h/June2009+008.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344338559363984610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 111px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/Sirnmq5QLOI/AAAAAAAAHBQ/ZydwjmlQsPs/s200/June2009+008.jpg" border="0" /></a>The two above feature the Bella Rose Designer Series paper.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV21Ed68q_jhs_u-rJAv6T163FPfhWFvBSIHUOQnWDERxL-dmhjgUBUUhPL08EvLi1FtHfJ8wNSrEM1mSJ2y79Bvzp06uPjgpnwJdryFWyrV5FggO1l5hYTpGsO_kySy48naAYBxmn2yI/s1600-h/June2009+011.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344339513741468434" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 116px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV21Ed68q_jhs_u-rJAv6T163FPfhWFvBSIHUOQnWDERxL-dmhjgUBUUhPL08EvLi1FtHfJ8wNSrEM1mSJ2y79Bvzp06uPjgpnwJdryFWyrV5FggO1l5hYTpGsO_kySy48naAYBxmn2yI/s200/June2009+011.jpg" border="0" /></a>This one features the Sweet Always Designer Series paper.

It takes all the guess work out of it!<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/Sh_MtZ6dBcI/AAAAAAAAF_Q/hTD-7Dz5x1U/s1600-h/SANY1484.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341212763506935234" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/Sh_MtZ6dBcI/AAAAAAAAF_Q/hTD-7Dz5x1U/s200/SANY1484.JPG" border="0" /></a> First up is this awesome fathers day card. I always struggle with masculine cards, I have a hard time with them...I decided to go check out what was in my Designer Paper bin and found some scraps of Urban Garden so I used that, then stamped the Happy Fathers Day from the All Holidays set I got FREE as my reward during Sale-A-Bration this year! Yep I said I got it FREE! Actually this year I was able to choose 5 stamp sets of any price for FREE! It is GOOD to be a demonstrator! :) I finished up this with a scrap of Kiwi kiss ribbon! The designer series paper sampler is PERFECT for cards like these! Don't miss out on getting one for endless possiblities for your projects!<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/Sh_Ms5V4GiI/AAAAAAAAF_A/ISiXMRrCf_I/s1600-h/May+Club+projects+005.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341212754763586082" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 134px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/Sh_Ms5V4GiI/AAAAAAAAF_A/ISiXMRrCf_I/s200/May+Club+projects+005.jpg" border="0" /></a> This one uses the Bella Rose Designer Series Paper. It is so beautiful and one of my favorites. I used a 4x4 piece of the paper and cut a strip of Kiwi Kiss cardstock for the top and used my Eyelet Border punch along the bottom of that piece. Tied some Riding Hood Red taffeta ribbon around the top and finished off with the All Ovals Stamp set along with my Lg Oval and new Scalloped Oval punch!<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/Sh_MtLOLRwI/AAAAAAAAF_I/VMn8cpjXEeQ/s1600-h/May+Club+projects+010.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341212759563126530" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 134px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/Sh_MtLOLRwI/AAAAAAAAF_I/VMn8cpjXEeQ/s200/May+Club+projects+010.jpg" border="0" /></a> Here is a close up of the All Ovals Stamp set. I stamped it in Riding Hood Red and punched it out with the Lg Oval then put some crystal effects over the butterfly and words. You may have to click on the picture to get the full effect<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/Sh_MuJnWPrI/AAAAAAAAF_g/7dn_3VB2Pt0/s1600-h/SANY1490.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341212776311701170" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/Sh_MuJnWPrI/AAAAAAAAF_g/7dn_3VB2Pt0/s200/SANY1490.JPG" border="0" /></a> Last but not least I wanted to share with you something I did last weekend when I was cleaning up my office and work area. I had a mess of Designer Series paper on my table. I have paper keepers like this one all over but I am always in a hurry and just leave them when I am done. So I came up with this! I am so excited..Ia m not claiming this is my original I prob ally seen it somewhere and stored it in the back of my brain somewhere for future use! Who knows! But anyway I felt like a genius!<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/Sh_MtprTR6I/AAAAAAAAF_Y/JXyblyFahPc/s1600-h/SANY1491.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341212767738349474" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 174px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/Sh_MtprTR6I/AAAAAAAAF_Y/JXyblyFahPc/s200/SANY1491.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Here is what I did. I took the cardboard insert that comes with the designer series paper and punched our the information on the back with my 1 3/4 in circle punch. then I took some sticky strip and adhered it to the top! Hopefully the the picture gives you a good idea...if not let me know and I can explain more!<br /><br /><br />Have a blessed day!<div class="blogger-post-footer">~ Darcie ~ dhelt1@juno.com</div>Darcie Helthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18025862929887872100noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2829921392236638213.post-17079168032717574932009-05-28T23:32:00.006-05:002009-05-29T06:45:15.770-05:00May Speicals and Product Samplers coming to an end<div align="left">These all end this Sunday, May 31st...don't delay!<br /><br />From Stampin Up!<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/Sh9m6_U4r1I/AAAAAAAAF-w/7-31WpZfks4/s1600-h/03.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341100846702178130" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 100px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/Sh9m6_U4r1I/AAAAAAAAF-w/7-31WpZfks4/s320/03.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /></div><div align="left"><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;color:#990000;">Buy 3 Get 1 FREE!</span><br />Get one pack of beautiful Designer Series paper or Textured Cardstock wh<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/Sh_EZzEjsGI/AAAAAAAAF-4/TYco4_7HsRw/s1600-h/may_video.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341203630569795682" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 198px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-w8O0WhkigI/Sh_EZzEjsGI/AAAAAAAAF-4/TYco4_7HsRw/s200/may_video.jpg" border="0" /></a>en you buy 3!
