Bella Rose

Happy Thursday! Well Thursdays are always a happy day for me! It is the day I have off during the week!!! Today we are off to get some groceries, stop at the local mall to see what they have for the kids (maybe me too!) and then off to Shelby's 1 yr check up! It will be just Shelby and I, as the other kids are at school!!!

So here are some shares for you using the Bella Rose paper! Stay tuned!!! I am going to be sharing some Halloween stuff along with some classes I am working on for Fall soon! I LOVE Halloween. I love everything about it, decorating for it, picking out & making Halloween Costumes, our Halloween party we have, the school parties, making treats, carving pumpkins and best of all........... The CANDY!! LOL you didn't think I would leave that out. Ok there is one thing I don't like about Halloween, its the weather that comes after it!! BOOOOOOO! This was a page done by the ladies in my Scrapbooking Club last month. I also usedit for display at the big demonstrator get together we had last Saturday that I keep talking about! I was inspired by a page in the new Idea Book & Catalog you can see it here . I have to say the new online catalog is so AWESOME! There are so many ideas on there and so easy to find!! this page used the Dreams DeJour stamp set & Bella Rose Designer paper along with the scalloped edge punch, all NEW!!!
Here are some samples that my friend and wonderfully talented downline Tricia Bloomfield made for out get together. Here display was new accessories. You can see a variety here such as the new double sided satin ribbon (one side is Kiwi Kiss and the other vanilla), Bella Rose paper, Riding Hood red taffeta ribbon and more! She did a great job!
Here is a close up picture I took of one of Tricia's cards. I just love the simpicty of it! So beautiful!!! Feel free to leave Tricia a note here and I will pass it on to her!

These are some samples I made with the Urban Garden designer paper for a big demonstrator get together I think I already told you about.

Shelby's Frame

Here is a quick share before I head off for the day! I shared Shelby's 1st year pics with you awhile back. Well here is what I did with some of them. This is just a cheep $2 frame from Wal-Mart. I added some Sweet Always new designer paper to one opening and shtamped her name with the Schoobook Serif Alphabet set. I had her pics turned black and white then took my pretty in pink stampin write marker with the brush end and colored in her flower! They turned out so awesome! You have to make sure your pictures are Matte finish for it to work!

Been Gone A Long Time & Hawaiian Papya Paper

I have been gone a long time! This last part of Summer really went so fast and was so busy!! The kids are off to school last week and things are getting back to normal (if there is a normal in our house!)

So what is new!! More like what isn't new! LOL I had my New Catalog Open House a couple weeks ago, we all had a great time and they had tons of fun shopping from my retired sets and picking out FREE New product from the New Catalog & Idea book! I wish I had some pics from the event to share but I don't. I do have the project they made, I will get those posted soon.

On to what have I been up to since then? Stampin my head OFF! LOL No really I was crazily making scrapbook pages for an awesome 12x12 scrapbook swap with some fellow demonstrator friends which was Fabulous I might add! I will share some with you I am sure! I was also having so much fun playing with the New double sided designer paper from the New Catalog! We had an awesome demonstrator get together over the weekend. Picture 80 crazy stampin fanatics in one small township hall! I created a display for the event featuring the new designer paper. There were other displays from some other talented demonstrator friends as well as great new product demonstrations including the new Die Cutting machine the Big Shot, can't WAIT to get mine! What a fun day, next time you should join me as my guest. Why would you want to come if your not a demonstrator? Because it is a day full of new ideas, fabulous make-n-takes, great displays, great people, swapping, door prizes and so much more! Let me know if your interested in joining me next time and I will make sure you come with me!!

So to reward you for reading this far, here are some samples I made featuring the new designer paper Hawaiian Papaya!!!






These I can not claim credit for. My friend and fellow demonstrator created these cute little mini clear envelope album. She did a great job!

I brought along my laptop so I could post an update and a share! Here are some swap cards my friend Laura recieved at Convention.

What a FUN day & more swaps!

****This says I posted this on Friday, 8/8 but I posted this REALLY late Thursday!

Well today was a fun day! It went by so fast! We started our day at Vacation Bible School. I dropped the 2 older kids off at church and then Shelby & I went over to my friend Susans's for an hour or so til it was time to pick them up! Then we raced off to meet my friend and fellow demonstrator, Laura at McDonalds playland so our kids could play and I could see all her goodies from Convention. Laura went to SU national convention last week and she was nice enough to bring her swap cards and all her goodies for me to see (and take pics of!) We had a great time cataching up! What a great friend she is! If not for SU Laura & I would have never ment! SU is GOOD in so many more ways than just paper and ink!

Also, I got my very own copy of the NEW CATALOG & IDEA BOOK! WHOO HOOO!! Mine still did not come but luckily my friend Melissa rec hers so I raced over there tonight to get one from her (Thanks Melissa!) I am going to post a few pics on here and go bury my head in that beautiful NEW Catalog & Idea Book. I will be sure to grab a towel to wipe the drool! LOL Just kidding but the bit I did see yesterday my wish list is going to be huge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited to share it with all of you at upcoming parties and classes!!! What do you say? You have not scheduled get together with friends to see the new Catalog and try out the new products??? Contact me asap to be the first to see the new catalog and all the awesome new Stamp sets and accessories! I am so excited about this new catalog and all the great things to come!



Do you want your own copy of the Catalog & Idea book? That is a silly question, of COURSE you do!!! Book a get together with you and some friends and you get a Catalog for FREE from me! Or you can pre-order one by contacting me and pick it up at my new Catalog Open House and Retired Rubbah Sale on Friday, Aug 22nd!


I pre-orderd some of the NEW sets and accessories already! They are so fun & awesome. We used some at the card class last Thursday. This weekend I will play some more with them(inbetween a baby shower, family reunion and Taylor's parade!!!


But don't forget, This Sunday is the LAST Day to order from the current Catalog & Idea Book. Get the awesome sets and accessories before they are GONE!! Don't forget about my special too! You can read about it HERE

Here are some samples using the set Unfrogettable that is retiring (Last day to order 8/10)! This is one of my favorite sets! It is so versatile! The 12x12 page is one that my scrapbook club made this month. The 2 smaller 6x6 pages are pages the daughters of my club members made. Then there is the matching card that was from my card class last Thursday. Don't you love how they all match! I got the idea for the 12x12 page from another demonstrator and just changed the colors and added some accessories like the felt flowers (flower fussion) and the colored brads as well as the crystal effects on their eyes. I had a great time making these projects, those frogs make me happy and will be missed! Maybe cuz they are not real, because real ones I am NOT fond of, only from a distance.......


Sorry for the quaitly on this picture, it is a bit blurry but I was tired when I took it and now am WAY too tired to retake it!
