Mini from Amanda

Hi Everyone,
Sorry for not being regular with my posts lately.

I received my first swap mini. It came all the way from the United Kingdom. Thank you Amanda, it is beautiful. I received it a bit ago and did the video the next day, but I have been so busy with classes and family that it has taken me a while to get some posts online. Hope you enjoy the video.



I hope you enjoyed the video. I have learned that seeing the pictures or video is never as nice as it is in person. So if you think it is pretty here, know it is even prettier in person.

Thanks,

February Swap Mini

Here is a video of the mini I made for the Trade Wind Swap on the Scrap Beach. This one goes to Amy in the US. At least this one did not have to go over seas.

Thanks,

Valentine Treat Holder Tutorial

Every year I try to make homemade treat holders or Valentine's for my daughter;s class, sometimes I do and most of the time I don't, but this year I did. YAY! It helped that I ordered the heart treat cups as soon as I saw them. If I waited to order them I know it would have been too late.

I just made a very simple holder witha trap door so you can get the candy out without ruining the card.
To see how I made it check out the video clip below.

Thanks,

TWS February Tag Swap



Here is the tag I made for the tag swap over on the Scrap Beach. The theme was "Love".

I had to make ten, keep one for myself and send the rest. I can hardly wait to get nine different ones back. I have seen two already from my group, since they have already posted pictures or video.

The "L" is die cut and up on dimensionals. Then I glimmer misted it, yup I said Glimmer Misted. I finally have some glimmer mists!

To make the hugs and kisses I set an eyelet in the middle and then used my stapler and staples to make the x's.

We did not have to do anything to the back, but I wanted to. I stamped journaling lines added a flourish edge, and then stamped the word LOVE in red. I like how it turned out, hopefully the girls in the group will too! The only thing I wish I would have done that I forgot to do was add something to it that said I made it. I will do better next time.
Below you can see a video I made telling about how I made the tag.

Thanks,




Hmmm, Hit Counter issues!

I just was checking in for the day and noticed my hit counter is not showing correctly, I was over 130,000 and now it is only showing 3,800? Something is not right here. I had an issue with my hit counter before too. I wonder what happened. Anyone know? Have you had similar issues with your hit counter? Is there a hit counter out there that does not mess up?

Thanks,

Class Crazy!

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to let you all know, I am still here. I have just been very busy with classes. Monday is the I (Heart) you book class. It is similar to the one on the link but not exactly. That response was huge and I have just now finished preparing for that class. The actual book is shown below.


I also have had the request to do the swap mini I made for Amanda in the UK as a class, and that repsonse has been so great that I have two full classes and may be doing that class a third time as well! All I can say is WOW and thank you! I hope Amanda enjoys here mini as much as those here.
I will get to regular posts soon, I hope.
Thanks,
