Welcome Back and Join the fun!

Well, It's been a long time since I've used this blog, and I'm thinking it might be time to do some updating!!!

First I would like to announce a Stamp Camp that I will be doing on October 9th.


Come and join us for a howling great time..an evening full of spook-tacular crafts!
Date: October 9th, 2009
Time: 5;00 p.m.
Place: TBA (depending on how many of you ghouls join us)

Details: We will be making a variety of crafts. The cost is $20.00 and I will need to collect that no later than October 3rd. I will be ordering all supplies and everything will be cut for you. I will have glue sticks here, but if you would like to bring your own type of glue you are more than welcome to (maybe something stronger than gluesticks ;))! If you have any friends you would like to bring, you are more than welcome to! Cost will be the same. If you can’t make it that night, don’t fret…Talk to me and we can work something out! I can also prepare kits for you to do at home (instructions included). Also if you do not want to make all that is pictured, let me know what you are interested in and I can get you a price.

Please RSVP NO LATER THAN October 3rd to 642-4148 or jdebry81@msn.com I will need to collect the $20.00 by then as well!

I am so excited that fall in finally coming up! With that comes some fun holidays which make for awesome craft days!!!

Here is a little more detailed list and pictures of what we will be making!

First we will have two cards. One card is a spinner card (so fun!) and the other is a card featuring the new sweet treat cups in the Holiday mini catalog


Second is a Halloween wreath, idea is taken from the current idea catalog book.

Third we have some super fun Matchbook candy holders. I'm not sure where the original idea of these came from, lot's of fun. We will be making 4 of them and each will hold a mini package of m&m's (included)


Fourth are the adorable little spiders all made using Stampin Up! Punches! Again, I don't know who come up with the original idea. We will make 4 of these also with York peppermint patties on the inside of each (included).

And Last are our Frankie, Dracula and Mummy mini candy bar holders. These are from the awesome Angie Juda, you can check out her blog here at http://www.mychicnscratch.com/ She has a blog chalked full of inspiration. We will make one of each of these (candy also included).

I hope that you can make it! Lots of fun planned! If you have any friends that you think might like this please pass the information along, I would love to have them! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me!

Stampin up weekend fun!!

So far this weekend I have been having some creativity fun!!! Friday night I was able to get one page done....I really wanted to do more, but sometimes our machines just don't cooperate!!! This was one of those nights!!



This page came to my mind as I was driving yo meet my mom and sister for lunch and the song Blessed by Martina McBride was playing. As I listened to the chorus I really felt the message that she was singing applied to my feelings about my little family. I immediately knew how I wanted to do this page. So when I got home, and things finally cooperated I put it down on paper. This isn't my usual style. I am not know to "throw" a bunch of random stuff in one spot, but I really feel like it worked in this case...

Well after I finally went to sleep last night I woke up to another fun scrappy morning!! My friend who is a demonstrator for Stampin up hosts multiple activities each month..She has a card club, a scrapbooking club, and then once a month she does a Saturday morning called Stampin Saturday.. for 5.00 she has all the supplies needed to make 4 different projects. It is so much fun!! And for the clubs each member is required to spend a min. of 25.00 towards an order while each member has a chance to be the hostess. We get together at her house and make two different cards, place our orders, chat, eat and have fun. Some are also participating in a card swap. So we come with 10 cards that we made, and leave with 10 different cards (one from each person). This next months swap is going to be a Christmas tag using ribbon....I'll let you know what I come up with! ;)
anyways here is the fun that we made today!! from the scrapbook club and fun....





From left to right:
We made a cute little slider card, a little treat purse, a regular Halloween card with heat embossing, and then the adorable little Frankenstein bag...

When I get the written directions on the box I will be sure to share them with you!! We were thinking about all the different possibilities that you can make!!!
Thanksgiving: at turkey,
Christmas: Santa...
just to name a few!!

Well so far thats been my creative weekend!!!
Hope yours has been just as fun!!
