Ok, so here it is! I love it and it was really easy to make after I decided to sit down and sew it together. I've really got to be in the mood to sew, but after I start I don't want to quit! So I had to go to Joann's and get some more material today!
Here's a close up. These are so easy to make! Can't wait to make more... See ya later. 
This was the Thank You gift. An altered DVD tin, which I got from a Late Night Stampers bulk buy and I need more!) I had everything cut and they just had to stamp and assemble it. 
They also made fun cards. An Easter Card with a punch art bunny! Very fun to make! and actually pretty easy. There are so many cute punch art bunnies out there! This is a combination of some of them.
and another card featuring a flower made with the eyelet border punch and a 1 x 12 piece of DSP. Donna over at DoStampin with Donna has a great video on how to make them. My card is pretty much a case of one of hers. The ladies got to pick the color of flower they wanted then added it to the Creamy Carmel background which I thought went with them all. Great choice Donna! Have a great day everyone!
The cards are pretty easy to make and are made using two stamp sets. Pick a Petal and Flight of the Butterfly. Along with some black circles and you've got a lady bug. Of course I got my idea from the lady bugs from several different cards I've seen, so no I'm not too clever. Have a great day everyone!
Here's what I used:
... and for my customers, just so you know, this little purse is going to be part of my Mother's Day Class at the end of April, so I hope you'll be thinking about joining me. Take care everyone and have a nice day.
This is a little 3 x 3 that I made using a scrapin' kit leftovers.
This is a baby card I made at Shannon's Stamp-a-Stack
Another card from Shannon's Stamp-a-Stack

and this last one is a card that Darla made and gave to me. I have so much trouble with the way my camera shoots red. It doesn't like it I guess. Sorry for the bad picture, and by the way Joan I'm sending you the flyer. (: Hey everyone, I've got something to show you in a couple of days so stay tuned, I know you're on the edge of your seats! Right? Have a good day!
What I used:
Close up of saying. 
I tried to have a variety for the stampers since a couple of them were boys. The Racoon card, the Sweet Treat Valentine cup card, the Hershey bar holder, Bird card, and the little Friend card were pretty much CASES from other demos I found other places. There are lots of talented stampers out there for sure! Thank you for the ideas!
I just love this new stamp set, whether you use it with the treat cups or the 1 3/4" circle punch, I think it turns out cute either way! We had a great turn out, 34 stampers! and half were kids. And although my stamps and some of my inks had the marks to prove it, everyone had a good time and really that's all that matters when it's all said and done.(: What did I use?
Welcome to the Stampin' Addicts SAB Blog Hop, each blog will be featuring different products from the free items available to you when you order during Sale-A-Bration. If you are traveling forward in the blog hop you just came from Heidi's blog Running w Scissors Stamper. She did such a super job showing the stamp set "Things I Love". What a great variety of projects, Heidi! I will be showcasing the stamp set "Very Thankful". It is the Ronald McDonald stamp set for this year and every time one is purchase SU donates $2.00 to Ronald McDonald House Charities. It can be found on the very last page of the big catty. In case you didn't know this year Stampin' Up! will be letting you pick from a limited list (on the last page of the SAB brochure) of stamp sets from the big Idea Book and Catalog and this one just happens to be on the list. There are also 6 wow products (stamps, a punch, and paper) in the SAB brochure available only through March 31st, 2010.*****Don't forget to check back after January 18th for the how-tos on the different projects I created.
The first couple of projects features the Turtle stamp and the Little Boy w/heart stamp. I chose to change the stamps a little bit. The turtle stamp had a "thank you" at the base of the turtle and I cut it off and mounted it on the side of the wooden block so I didin't have to use it all the time. Also I did not color in the "thank you" on the little boy's heart, but instead wrote "I love you" on the heart. The turtle box is made from the SU die Bitty Box and holds a Giradelli chocolate perfect! The little boy is covering a flat sucker.
The next 3 cards are "Thank you" cards. This is a pretty card using the peacock stamp and also one of SU's new punches that you can get for FREE w/ of $50 purchase. How fun!
This card is pretty much a CASE from the card shown in the big catty. I just love this color combo. Old Olive DSP, Chocolate Chip, and Kraft for the cardbase. 
I didn't have directions, just pictures to look at, sorta like the ones you see here of mine. Don't you think this would make a nice gift or maybe a super class project?
So can you figure out how to make one by looking at mine? I bet you can.
I did add a few more do dads just to make it funner! If you want to order any of the folders, I'd be happy to take care of it for you, just let me know!
Start by cutting a piece of ribbon the length you want...
Cut the edge off...
and start pulling small lengths of it apart...
until you get as much as you want...
to tie onto whatever you want. It's pretty simple. Congrats again to Lisa Naples on the blog candy win and I'll ship that out to you on Monday, Lisa! Hey, hope everyone has a great weekend , and come back soon so we came "stamp a little longer".(:
Happy New Year! and welcome to the 2010 Occasions Mini Blog Hop brought to you by Stampin' Addicts. This Blog Hop will feature sneak peaks of the stamp sets and accessories found in the 2010 Occasions Mini Catalog, and will run from January 1st through January 3rd. There are a total of 23 stops on this Hop, they link to each other, so it doesn't matter where you start, you'll end up back where you began. If you have been following the Blog Hop in order you've just been to Sara's Blog "Lily's Ink Pad" and have viewed her fun creations using the stamp set Fox and Friends. I have chosen the Sweet Pea Designer Series Paper and the Sweet Pea Stitched Felt to use on my projects and I've got some Blog Candy for you, be sure and read the whole post! So lets get started.
First off is a little notebook I altered along with a mini clipboard. I can already tell I'm going to need more of this paper! Good thing it comes in a pack of 48 sheets! The stamp set I used to accent my clipboard was Great Friend. I also used the wide striped Old Olive ribbon for accents. The fringe on the mini clipboard is made by cutting down length ways on your ribbon. Then all you do is simply start pulling. Check back in a couple of days and I'll post a picture of how it's done.
Next I altered a tin, made a card, and altered another mini clipboard, this time using the stamp set For All You Do. I love this new DSP and the felt pieces! I think the felt pieces would make really cute little barrette accents too!
Close up of the tin. No stamping here! So if you like to just cut and paste, this project is for you!

Birthday present I wrapped with SU paper and a small gift card.
I used the stamp set called Party Hearty for my little card. Colors of paper and ink I used were Close to Cocoa and Bashful Blue, then I added some Dazzling Diamonds to the icing.
This was the project I made our SU calendar papers added to some of our SU blocks. This was a total CASE from TIffany's Blog "My Crafty World". So thank you Tiffany you were a life saver.
After I finished this I really didn't want to give it up, but I did, now to order some more calendars and blocks!!!
This is Becky Bellinger and she is holding the gift she actually got to keep! Your so lucky Becky! Her sister Jennifer Young had altered this for her gift. She took an old window and painted part of it with the blackboard paint, corked the other side, used scrabble tiles to spell notes and added a couple of clothespins to the side. What's funny is Becky had put the little green box in a garage sale and Jennifer had ask her if she could have it. LOL to funny! Glad you ended up with it Becky! 
This last gift was the one Becky altered using a photo box. It was mine for about 1 minute! I told you I got #2! ): Anyway she used an old cookbook to make the dividers and them old recipes and magazines to cover the outside. It was really neat! Hope you all have a great day, I've gotta go do some Christmas cards and put up my tree, you heard right, MY TREE IS NOT UP YET!
and the stamp set Sparkly & Bright for the inside.
