Open House Make and Take

My friend is a Stampin Up demonstrator and for her open house she had the cutest make and take. It is this adorable 3 x 3 card. It uses the new Artist Etching stamp set. LOVE IT!. It also uses the newsprint Designer paper series...LOVE IT! I have to say Stampin Up has impressed me with some of it's new items.

Thanks,

A.S.K. Notepad

I have been offering a small free class for the ladies at church on a quarterly basis. This was the project for June. I know I am really behind posting it. This is quite simply to make, easy to assemble and who doesn't need a notepad for something?

On the inside there is a sentiment Ask, Seek , Knock from the scriptures, and a small pocket on the left side. I am always thinking of how to improve projects and this is no exception. I already know how I will make my next notepad holder, but you will have to wait cause I think it will be one of my twelve weeks to Christmas projects.
Thanks,

Passport Mania

A friend asked me to help her with a project for Girls Camp. They will be having activities that take them around the world. So she wanted the girls to have passports that they could get stamped at each activity. This was what I came up with. She loved it.

She will be adding a photo to the inside cover of each passport for each girl, and their information goes on the first page. It included their name, their ward and their year of camp attendance. They will sign their book upon arrival at camp.

We added a few fun stamps to the inside pages.


I used Tim Holtz stamps, they were perfect for this project.

This took us all afternoon, we made a total of 100 of these. At first she only wanted about 60, enough for just the girls, but she liked them so much she also wanted the leaders and any guests to also be able to have one.

This is not all of them, but just wanted to get a group shot. I used Night of Navy cardstock from Stampin UP. The cover image was embossed with gold embossing powder.
The sentiments were created using Just Right Stampers products.
The first inside page was created on my computer in Publisher.
Thanks,

P3 Challenge for August

It's Paper Cubed time again. The challenge this month is to create a photo display. It could not be a traditional frame. This was my take on it. It is an origami cube that swivel on a base. Great for your desk or a mantel. This is quite large, measuring about 4" across.

There will be a tutorial available for this shortly.
You can check out the challenge, the other Design Team members projects and the prize here.
Thanks,

Feels Like Forever...

...Since I have posted.

Wow, I have gone almost all month without posting. I think it is my longest ever time. This summer has been totally crazy.

Anyway, I noticed I have reached 200, 000 hits recently. Unfortunately I missed the exact day.

I would like to celebrate and what better way to celebrate than with a give a way!

I Recently did a class and had one participant cancel at the last minute. SO I have an extra kit. I will assemble the kit and then mail it to the winner.

It is a purse mini, the inspiration came from the one Laura made on Following the Paper Trail. I will post pics after I get it assembled.

SO leave a comment for a chance to win. I will close the offer at the 3rd of the month of August at midnight. The drawing will take place the following day on August 4th.

Thanks,

P3 Challenge for July

The challenge for this month is to create some type of table top decor. I chose to make this one it can either be for Canada Day or Forth of July.

To make it for the Forth of July simply add some blue stars.

The Basket is made using part of the basket and blooms die. The largest star is using the star, 5 point 3-D die. The smaller stars are from Stampin Up punches.

Check out Paper Cubed for the rest of the Design Team creation and to visit their blogs. You have a whole month to come up with a project for the challenge and their are some awesome Tim Holtz products being given away for this months prize.
Thanks,
