Fall Fun-for-All Camp Wannastamp!

On the Founder's Circle trip last year, we made an album just like this! I thought it was so pretty! I've been saving it for this camp; however, I had to change the Designer Series Papers to reflect current papers that are available! No matter which Designer Series Papers you use, this album is so classy! It easily folds together and will hold six (or seven) photos! This is one of the items we made at the Fall Fun-for-All Camp Wannastamp! The recipe is below. All supplies used and shown are from Stampin' Up!

Fall Fun-for-All Camp Wannastamp!

Here's a real goody that we made at the Fall Fun-for-All Camp Wannastamp! I love the simple elegance of this card! I can just imagine how you could make a smaller version of this for a placecard at your Thanksgiving dinner table, and where the greeting is, just write a name! This style of card has lately been my favorite - just changing out the image and the greeting -works every time! Layering tone on tone gives a bit of a dry-embossed look, too! The recipe is below. All supplies used and shown are from Stampin' Up! Recipe: Paper: Textured Vanilla - 8-1/2 X 5-1/2; Textured Vanilla - 2 X 2; Textured Vanilla - 1-3/4 X 1-3/4 Stamps: Autumn Days (P. 92 of the catalog); Falling Leaves (P. 27 of the catalog) Inks: Soft Suede; Soft Suede Marker Miscellaneous: SNAIL Adhesive; Stampin' Dimensionals; Soft Suede Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon - 18" long; Scissors

Diane Burns' Home Workshop!

After my new catalog open house, Diane contacted me and told me she would like to have a home workshop - and one of the cards she wanted to make was the 3D cup card that we made at the open house - and the recipe is listed as a July 5th post! I got that card idea from my sister, Pam, who is a demonstrator in Florissant, Missouri! We also made this card at Diane's workshop, which I absolutely love! Isn't it simple, but beautiful?

I'm a Very Lucky Gal!

If someone ever tells you that dreams don't come true, I'm here to tell you THEY DO! I had a fabulous time at the Stampin' Up! convention! I was fortunate enough to earn Founder's Circle again this year, which means I get to go on a fun trip to St. George, Utah in September with the other Top 100 Stampin' Up! demonstrators for this past year! It was quite an exciting evening because they start with #100 and count all the way down to #1! You just have to wait for your name to be called to see where you placed! I was quite anxious after they passed 50 and then 40 and then 30! I was starting to think that maybe there was a mistake and they might have forgotten me, but I was #21! That was so exciting for me! The rose above was given to me on-stage, and I was certainly beaming that evening! I haven't found any good pictures of that evening, but if I do, I will certainly post them! I am quite aware, though, that I never could have achieved that distinction without ALL OF YOU! Your steadfast support and encouragement over this past year is what got me there - my customers and my recruits - and I've never forgotten that! I hope that each one of you feels the love and my appreciation for all that you do for me! You've made my dream come true!

Aren't These Cute?

LOOK AT THESE! My sister took a normal pair of Flip-Flops, used the Daisies #2 die for the Big Shot, Fun Foam, and a Build-A-Brad, and turned them into a really cute pair of shoes! Pam gave these to me in Utah as a convention gift and I am smiling from ear to ear! I love these, Pam, and I'm so glad you gave them to ME! I've been wearing them out and about and receiving comments on how cute they are! THANK YOU, PAM - I LOVE YOU!
