Clubs are GREAT!!!

Have you ever thought about joining a club?? Clubs are a great way to get ideas and learn how to use different products. It's like getting a FREE class each month. Plus you get to act as the hostess one of the months and earn more FREE products.

My current scrapbooking club made Flip Book Albums this month. They used 1/2 of a Simply Scrappin Kit to create their albums. Here are a couple of the albums that were create that night. Silly me...didn't think to get her camera out until everyone but a couple people were left.

I'm taking names now for New stamp clubs. If your interested in joining a club or forming your own club with your friends be sure and let me know.

If you'd like more information on what a club is and how it works be sure and ask me!!!

I can't post without sharing something. So here is a scrapbook layout that I did not to long ago. I love the simplicity of the circles. See you could come and make a layout exactly like this at my Stampin' Fiesta!!

WoW! Does this happen to you...

...When your stamping? My space starts out looking like this...
















After I start stamping my space turns into this...

I don't know what happens, but when I start getting creative my desk looks like a tornado came through.

After a few projects I have to stop and reorganize and clean up. It just becomes where I don't have space to work.












I've been getting creative lately because of a Stampin' Up! Seminar that I went to this weekend. I had to demo the Flower Fusions. We had a lot of fun making our projects and getting all kinds of great ideas.

Here are some of the projects that I either demo'd or shared with them.



























This card I called my "Ugly Card". What I did was use our Tombow Multi purpose glue and applied it to a flower from the Pretties Kit with a paint brush. Then I sprinkled it with Glitter. I figured if Martha Stewart can do it with her products there had to be a way that Stampin' Up! could do it also. Come on we all know that Stampin' Up! is the best!!!


So these 3 little cards created that mess upon my desk.


Please be watching for information on my up coming classes. I've got a bunch of ideas. I just need to get the schedule down on paper.

Hostess Gift - Flowers For You paper

My workshop hostess next week will be getting this gift from me.. I am pretty sure she doesn't get online a whole lot. (but why not??) - so I'm posting it now and we'll see if she sees it!

The tutorial for making the Origami box can be found on SCS HERE.

I used the Flowers For You paper and Just Like You stamp set. This set is our Ronald McDonalds stamp set. When you purchase this set Stampin' Up! will donate $2 of the sale to Ronald McDonald House Charities.

The notes are 3x3 on Tempting Turquoise and Old Olive cardstock, and the mini size envelopes are on pg 167 in the regular catalog HERE.

I also used several of our punches...Scallop, 1 1/4" circle, 1 3/8" circle, 1" circle, 3/4" circle.

Here is a close up of the cards.

Have a GREAT day!

Envelope Basket

Well I was playing last night in my Rubber Room. I've been seeing these cute little "baskets" around on the internet. Upon my investigation I found that they are Envelopes made into little "baskets or Baggies" Check out my cute little version:

Can you see those done filled with easter grass for a secret pal or anybody you'd like to just leave a little something for.

Ok gotta run... Hope you enjoyed!!

February Scrapbook Club

Did you know that I offer Clubs to my Stampin' Up! customers?

I have a Scrapbooking Club going right now and we are having a blast with it. Here is one of the layouts that everyone made in February.This one showed them how to use their punches on their layouts.

Aren't those daisy's just the cutest. The leaves were done with the 5-petal flower punch. The flower petals where done with the oval punches.I can see this layout done in Purples and then make your daisys into Purple Cone flowers!How Cute!!!!

Have you ever thought of joining a Stamping or Scrapbooking club? Are you concerned of the monthly commitment. Did you know that you could work a club to meet every other month?That's right!! You can get yourself and 5 friends to make 6 club members and then meet every other month. It would be a commitment of $25 order placed every other month and then we would rotate who gets the hostess benefits. So you get yourself FREE Stampin' Up! products.

I can even do a traveling club. This is where I travel to your house each time there is club meeting. Everyone mets there. Its a great way to have a club with all your local friends. I always have projects every month for you to make. So its like getting a FREE class each time the club meets.
Stamp Club is a great Ladies Night Out.

Some club members even say it’s so good for them that it’s cheaper than therapy! We'll have a great time, laugh a lot and it’s fun to get to know everyone better.

There is no fee to participate. As a Stamp Club member you place a $25 minimum order each time club meets, plus you receive hostess benefits one of those months. Please contact me if you are interested in becoming a Stamp Club member. I'm taking names for a new round--let me know if you'd like to have your name added to the waiting list.Email me at inkpeddler@gmail.com
