Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian friends out there! I hope you had a wonderful weekend visiting with friends and family, and eating TURKEY! I know we did....

Here's a card I made for my female family members at our Thanksgiving Dinner! I had a bunch of scraps left over from my Stamp Club make & take last week, and I wanted to stick with the same color combination (Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and Early Espresso.)

 

I stamped the Autumn Harvest stamps in Early Espresso, and masked each one before I stamped the others over top.  I then used my Watercolor Crayons and an Aquapainter to color them in, and blend the colors. The printed paper is the Peach Parfait Designer Prints, and I added some vanilla Half-Back Pearls from the Pretties Kit with Mini Glue Dots at the end. (The Pretties Kit is on sale in my Online Store!) In the pic, the background is my counter-top, not paper----sorry about that:))

So much fun!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Haitian Relief

I just received this note from Stampin Up, and wanted to pass it along to you....

Haitian Disaster Relief
January 21, 2010

Stampin′ Up! demonstrators have a long history of making a difference in the lives of others--especially when disaster strikes and the need is greatest. So it was not surprising that so many demonstrators have contacted us in the past week asking what the plan is for helping to provide relief for those who continue to suffer from the effects of the earthquake that struck Haiti on January 12.

Here is what we are going to do:

From now until February 28, 2010, $2 from every I {Heart} Hearts stamp set purchased will be donated to American Red Cross’ Haiti Relief and Development Fund. The Red Cross is already well-established in Haiti, and this money will be used to provide immediate relief and long-term support through supplies, technical assistance and other support to help those in need.

Product Name	Item #	Price
I {Heart} Hearts – clear-mount  (block D recommended)	118571	$24.95
I {Heart} Hearts – wood-mount	117010	$35.95

This is a simple and straightforward plan; the more stamp sets we sell, the greater the difference you make. Often it is the simplest plans that work best!

To help out with this fundraiser for Haiti, you can place an order online thru my website at www.stampinwithjoann.stampinup.net (click Shop Now) or you can email me at stampinwithjoann@shaw.ca. Stampin' Up will send us a total of money raised at the end of February, and I will share that total with you! Help us make a difference, and you'll enjoy some creativity at the same time!

Here is the "I {Heart} Hearts" stamp set. It also co-ordinates with the Trio Heart Punch! 

Place your order today, and help me help Haiti.

 

Merry Christmas!

Here's a snapshot of the teachers Christmas gifts we made this year for my kids teachers.

I got these pails from a local scrapbook shop, and added designer paper from the Christmas Cocoa set, along with 5/8 Real Red grosgrain ribbon, and Soft Suede polkadot ribbon.

I cut out the circle on top using my Circle Scissors Plus. We also added a Whisper White snowflake using the Snowflake Punch, and a tag made with the Christmas Punch stamp set, Real Red and Soft Suede markers, and punched out with the Scallop Oval Punch.

We popped in some home-baked goodies, and a gift card, and off the kids went to deliver them! I think these pails would make really cute Valentine's gifts too!

Wishing you all a wonderful Merry Christmas!

Thanks for popping by!

Digital Disneyland page

Good Morning!

I was just working on some of my Digital Scrapbooking, and thought you might like to see one of my pages! This is made using My Digital Studio from Stampin Up, and was actually a pre-done template, included with the software. I just dragged a couple photos onto it, and edited the words underneath. Took me about 2 minutes!

Enjoy your day!

Christmas Trees!

 
Good Morning!

I wanted to share with you these Christmas trees I made with my kids recently. We had a great time!

You can see from the bottom view here that I used styrofoam cones from the craft store, and added the paper curls all around. 

You just cut double sided paper (I used the retired set called Holiday Thyme) into 1" X 6" strips. (You need about 3 12X12 sheets per tree.)  Then, using your Bone Folder, curl one end at a time, as you would with curling ribbon. Leave a flat space in the middle, and put a sewing straight pin thru that area into your styrofoam shape. No glue required! 

You can also do this on foam wreath shapes too, but make sure to get the dense foam so the pins don't fall out! This was easy enough for my 7 and 11 year olds to do, but I did help them with the curling part.

Enjoy!

 
 

Christmas is on the way!

Good Morning!

Christmas is coming! Christmas is coming! How exciting! I hope you are enjoying the sights and smells of the season, and are finding some time to relax a bit.

Here's a cute Christmas box I made using the Big Shot Matchbox Die, Christmas Punch stamp set, and Christmas Cocoa Designer Paper. This is the perfect size for placing a gift in: some jewelry, little chocolates or good old-fashioned cash-ola!

Don't forget about the 12 Days of Christmas Sale on Big Shot dies and supplies on until Dec 22nd! See my previous post for more info.....

Merry Christmas!
