Customized Name Frame (Example)


I say example 'cause there are soooo many ways to do this. So, I have a friend who is 5 and very "girly." She is a princess and is gorgeous!! I think that she would like this. I just don't know if I should wait until Christmas or just give it to her...but if I wait too long, I'll want to change something and do it over again and AHHH! okay, I'll give it to her. Thanks for listening.

Scratch n Sniff

This is something that you can try for yourself. I was thinking of doing it at a workshop but...it's a little too easy for my stamp club girls. However, it is worth it to give it a go...
You'll need: a bold style stamp set
a VersaMark pad
A sugar-free DRINK mix (not jello like I did!)
Clear Stampin' Emboss powder
A heat tool

mix: 1 sugar-free drink mix to 1 1/2 clear embossing powder.

...finish just like any other embossing project, stamp, pour, and heat. It's just that simple.

Hint: try different combo's for different flavors as long as it does not have sugar in it. Examples are cocoa, cinnamon, even powdered creamer.

I haven't done all of that but I cann0t wait until the winter...I have a beautiful coffee set that I just love! But I have done it with the kool-aide and it is just fine.

more birthday petites

I just can't help myself. These are my fav's! right now. Who didn't know that they were going to love these when they purchased them? And if you haven't seen the new su in color collection in person...get them...you will not be dissapointed! Don't forget your double stitched ribbon...did i say that in the last post? I don't remember cause I might have been talking to someone in person...that does happen sometimes you know. I am still trying to perfect my picture taking. Emily has told me to keep it in the natural light, but like some of you know...my house doesn't have much light to it. I'll probably try to set something up outside. My workshop is next on the list. Martha and I switched months and that worked out best for both of us. So start looking for your evites sometime next week. Talk to you all soon...
