A new year, new classes!!

December's Technique Class finished out the year with Faux Metal, a gel card, and paper bows.
Technique classes will now be held on the third TUESDAY of each month. Come join us and learn how to use those supplies you have sitting in your craft area.


Also be on the lookout for some fun new classes! Scrapbooking using our Simply Scrappin Kits, Recipe exchange, Kids Stamping Classes, Man Classes, Punch class, and much much more!! Email me if you have a class idea that you would like to see or if you would like to have a class in your home in the form of a workshop or stamp a stack. Remember workshops can be held in my home or yours. I look forward to a new year of stamping with you all! Keep watching the blog for sneak peeks of classes to come!!

More Gifts...Checkbook Calendars

I created a few check book calendars for a customer who was giving them to family and her Creative Memories Downline. Here are a few that feature Stampin' Up supplies....I had a lot of fun coming up with different designs for each person. I think I did 15 total and most of them were different.

The first features the All in the Family Set and the Neighborhood Jumbo Wheel. I printed the name using a font on my computer.

This one uses the new Level 3 hostess set Time Well Spent
This one is my favorite....It was for one of my customers and since I know her I could really personalize it. The sign language says Creative Memories and her name. The stamp set Time Well Spent was also used.

Cowboy Kid (retired) was used to create this one along with the Paisley background stamp.
If you are interested in having me make one of these for you please email me and let me know and I will give you pricing and information. I had a lot of fun creating these.

Calendars: November and December

The last two pages are my favorites....November uses Basket Full of Fun (retired) and Earth Elements colors. December uses Greetings Galore and Non SU Christmas Lights. These two pages were fun to color and design. The calendars were a lot of work but well worth the time and effort.
