Reuniting with Jr High School Friends

It is hard to believe that 24 years has past since the three of us has seen each other. While at Penny's house having a wonderful dinner with her husband Donnie (another Jr High friend) and Stacy, we all sat there catching up on so many years but really it was like we were never apart. It was so funny when one of us would mention a name and we all laughed and said "Oh my that is a name I haven't heard in a long time" The night went by so fast, we said we have to get together again real soon and I am hoping it happens. Thank you Donnie for a wonderful dinner, you are an awesome cook and Thank you Stacy and Penny for a great evening.

Welcome Sheila

I am very excited to introduce my first team member.

Sheila booked a workshop from me at a scrapbooking event I did at Ivy Tech. She held her workshop on Saturday and decided then to join Stampin Up! as a hobbyist demonstrator. She really loves the products and wanted everything in the catalog. After talking with her through emails she decided she wanted the discount.

Wishing you the best Sheila!!!!!!

Make and Take Thursday 05-21-09

CONGRATULATIONS EMILY

Last nights make and take was down in attendance by five due to Emily graduating from high school. Thinking about her graduating, made me think "I need to make her a card" So that was what I chose to do for Make and Take Thursday. Isn't this the cutest card? I love it!

The seven of us in attendance had some good laughs trying to figure out the school colors that they were needing to make their cards. We got the biggest chuckle with Erin's colors she was needing. She text someone back at home (in Holmes County) when the text came back with the answer we all laughed at her face "orange and brown" she said. After all the laughing and making fun of the colors the card actually turned out really nice. She put in on white card stock.

Things are coming together for National Scrapbook Day

Here is a sneak peek of the goodie bags and the extra goodie for the first 10 people who prepay for the day. I have 3 left of the extra goodie. I wouldn't wait to long!!!!!!!

Decorating a Picture Frame

I found this neat shadow box picture frame at Ikea for about $10. The frame is 9x9 and it comes with a white mat. I took the mat and covered it with a piece of 12x12 Stampin Up! paper from the Raspberry Tart Designer Series Paper Pack (#113975)

For the Month of May you can buy 3 packs of any 12x12 textured paper packs or designer series paper and get the 4th one FREE.

The flowers are Stampin Up On Board Chipboard covered in the more Raspberry Tart DSP. I used chip board that is already retired but other really cute flowers are available. You can find the On Board Chipboards on pages 182-183 in the Spring and Summer 2009 Idea book.

Emily's name SU! On Board Chipboard again this time covered in Stampin Glitter. Fine Supernova (#114287)

Other items used was Kiwi Kiss ribbon, Kiwi Kiss, Pretty in Pink and Rose Red card stock and the 1/2" circle punch

It was a lot of fun making this frame but actually very difficult for me since I am not use to doing any girlie pages.
