You've Got Flair

This is the project idea I came up with for the July Stamp of the Month. It is the same wall hanging we made for Becca's birthday party but I changed the papers and the layout of the project. The papers are Magic Moments and of course the You've Got Flair stamp set. I embossed all of the images with white embossing powders.

Hope you like it.

First Calander Page

Hey all, well I finally got some new pages done and they are 12 x 12. It has been ages since I have actually completed a 12 x 12. It wasn't hard with this one. My inspiration came from one of nephews. I mean look at him. Who wouldn't be inspired by that cute face.

I used Emporium and the Refelctions book for the layout idea. Hope you all enjoy

This is the first page of an entire year of calander pages. I would really like your feed back. I am considering doing classes on layouts like this. One a month. Let me know if this is something you would be interested.

Becca's Birthday

Holy smokes. It has been a long time since I have posted anything. I thought that once spring was over life would slow down. Yeah, not likely. I have been busier than ever. I don't know where the time goes, but it is definitely moving by fast. LOL
Ok, I will get on with it. One of my last posts was of the invitation I made for my niece Becca's birthday party. I came up with the idea for the project that Becca and her friends would do at the party and Laurie (my little sis) designed the project. She did a fabulous job. The girls loved it and they went home with a wonderful keep sake. Darren (my bro-in-law) even took pictures of the girls with and printed them for us, so, all of the projects were complete with pictures. Whoot!!! Whoot!!!

Here is a close up of one of the girls projects. I think they all did a great job. Laurie had the chipboard covered and all the pieces cut for the projects. We let the girls put the entire thing together and do some of the stamping. We helped a little but let them be as creative as they wanted. The thing hanging off if it was a last minute creation. The girls were getting antsy waiting for everyone to arrive so I quickly put together the necklace. They each made one with their first initial on it. We let them do the stamping for this one.

This is a picture of all the projects. Whew!!! It was a busy afternoon. Yep, you counted right. There was 9 girls including the birthday girl. I could have used two of me that day. LOL
I have to mention that they were all 6 year olds. Things got a litte hairy but it all work out awesome in the end.



Hope you all enjoy. I will try and post some of the things I have been working on for the WDM craft show in the next couple days.
