Inkredible Stamping with Julie

Great Inexpensive Gift - a Hot Chocolate Mug!

I'm still a little behind in sharing photos from the Christmas Card Class :) This is one of those. This idea was shared at Convention this year and Lisa decided to re-create several of these mugs with mats as Door Prize Gifts at our Christmas Card Class. The mugs came from the Dollar Store - so this makes a very inexpensive gift that's FABULOUS. I know a lot of people on my Christmas List who would love to get these! Recreating them is easy. For the mats: Sandwich a piece of batting between two pieces of Candy Cane Christmas Fabric... Read more →

Ribbons Galore

Hi Stampers, This week's wish list item is a little different. I usually feature items that are on my wish list but in truth 99% of my wish list consist of the AMAZING projects that are featured in the SU Idea Books and Minis. I see the fun things they feature and I want them! This ribbon wreath is just about my most favorite project featured in the whole Idea Book maybe ever! (Was that proper English?? I don't know it doesn't look right but I'm just so excited about this project I don't even care if I said that... Read more →

Chalkboards for the Wall - Get Organized

Today's wish list item is the Chalkboard Decor Elements - I love them all! There are Owls, Clouds, Labels, and so much more. Most of these are not that new, they've been out for a while... but what is new is the Curly Label and Simple Sign chalkboard and the calendar, notes, and chore charts that fit inside of them. When I saw these in the new Decor Elements catalog I got so excited! I'm looking for the perfect spot to put the notes and calendar and as soon as I have that spot picked out I'll be putting an...

Fast and Easy Applique for Quilters

I just had my Stamp 'n Share Team Meeting for my Create, Ink! girls this past Friday. My assignment (that I gave myself) :) was to share some fabric crafting ideas with my team members.

So I promise you I've got some fun paper crafting projects coming your way soon - but for all your fabric crafters out there, I'll be sharing some of the fun ideas I shared at the meeting with you over the...

Does Your Stamp Table Need a Makeover?

My space needed a makeover after I tried out the new clear mount stamp option from Stampin' Up! Have you tried out the Clear Blocks and Cling Mount rubber stamps yet?? I'm in LOVE! They're so fun to use and they're so pretty! As soon as I started playing with the clear mount stamp sets I knew I would need something to set on my stamp table to keep the blocks in - I wanted them close and easy to grab, but it had to be something that would live up to the pretty Clear Blocks - I just want...

Don't Eat My Shoes Doggy Treats

Mom love to make homemade dog and cat treats. This weekend she was working on making up some treats for my cousin's dogs. She decided to make "Don't Eat My Shoes" treats. In other words - Treats shaped like Shoes to keep your puppy happy and out of your closet! :) These treats smelled yummy cooking (not all dog treats smell that great to us humans!). They are made with Molasses's and smell like gingerbread as they bake... She cut out some regular bone shapes for smaller treats and wanted me to come up with something fun to put them...

PJs and Flowers - Punch Art PJ Party Part 2

I'm back with the second post about Friday's Punch Art Class. As many of you know this class was scheduled to go late into the night, so we decided it would be fun to make the class a PJ party. Everyone had the option of showing up in their PJs (or changing there). Let me tell you, it was great to get home and basically be ready to roll into bed! To add in even more PJ fun we came up with 5 categories before the class and awarded Prizes for the PJs that fit best into our categories! The... Read more →

Always

Last fall my friends Shannda and Eric got married - They are just so sweet together, a FABULOUS couple and I'm so happy for them. I had a LOT of fun helping Shannda with her programs and favors but I was too busy to blog and didn't get a chance to share with everyone. I'll take some pictures of the program I designed for her, and put them up online for you all to see, but while you're waiting, I DID remember to snap a quick picture of the wedding present I made for them. I found a wooden floating... Read more →

The Spooky Spider!

At convention, Stampin' Up! was busy making all of our heads swim with fun ideas for the second phase of Decor Elements - Colors, Holidays, and More!! One of my favorite projects they demoed for us was the Spooky Spider Jar. I made one up for myself - It took me all of about 5 minutes!! A short amount of time for a Big Candy WOW!! The Stampin' Up! picture was much better than my picture... I put candy in mine with wrappers that were a little too dark for picture taking purposes - but I'll bring him along to... Read more →
