Is it February already?

Right after I returned from Leadership I came down with bad cold .... recovered in time to get some stampin done then came down with flu .... I can't wait for winter to end! So here are a few of the projects we've done at my classes recently.

No Sew Fabric Flower Pin

This was the gift I gave to friends at Baltimore Regional. It was idea inspired after seeing flowers made from cutting and heating satin ribbon. I was wondering what to do with my fabric with customers - I don't sew - so I was really happy with results and that it is easy enough for customers to do, selling them on maybe wanting to purchase fabric and die. It will be a class project coming soon.

Shadowbox page - Butterflies

Here is my adaptation of a page I saw done by Debi on Stampin Connection (she said she CASE'D Mary Jo but I couldnt find the sample she cased from). (I'll edit picture in morning when I can get a clean picture without glare/shadow) I used CURRENT merchandise - sets are the Dreams du Jour and Flores Suaves and all the card stock colors are from new collections. ....and because the gals I have coming to make this tomorrow will be doing some embossing I thought I'd take some of my new fabric and make them each a small hand made embossing buddy .... Used the scallop square die but the one I made with scallops facing out didnt turn out as well as when just turned them to inside (in which case a plain square works just fine.

Sneak Peak Class - card 2

Punched Posies (lv 2 Hostess set from summer mini) Occasional Quotes Lv 3 Hostess set from 2010-11 Stampin Up Catalog) Whisper White CS 8”x 5 ¼” Concord Crush (in color) CS (1/4 sheet); Concord Crush Classic Ink Daffodol CS and Classic Ink Daffodil 1/8” taffeta ribbon

Busy busy busy ....

Stampin Up started an online community for demos and for some reason I got so tied up going there to update stuff that I completely forgot that you,my customers and followers, cannot go there to see stuff! So let me see if I can catch things up here. Some cards done recently .... Sale-a-bration is in it's second month - Have you gotten your FREE set yet? Even if there are no items in the Sale a bration mini you love (how could you not love that new punch?!) then remember to check out the last page where the list continues to include a large offering from the main catalog that you can also choose from. Have had some class rescheduling due to weather lately - spring can't get here fast enough for me. The next class is February 27th and we will get into spring cards using Abundant Hope, Garden From the Heart, Messages for Mom and Going Green - all sets found in the Occasions Mini which runs through April. Check out the class schedule and make up dates each month at my website http://CraftinMemories.stampinup.net. Craft season is fast approaching - I don't know why I pack all my crafting stuff up for winter when it is the time of year I should be working really hard on crafts. Pulled out the dominoes and dremel and made some bracelets. Tiles next next. Then will be working on something new - according to a color test I did the other day I am a creator and always look for something new - fits me to a tee.
