Busy Little Stamper!

Hello All,

I haven't been updating my blog very much these past few weeks because I have been a busy little stamper! Take a look at what I have been making.

This little box (and the other 6 that I made) is going to some of my son Joshua's teachers. The inspiration and tutorial can be found here.

I used Kraft, whisper white and real red card stock. I sponged the edges with close to cocoa ink. I also used chocolate chip and real red ink for the stamps.

Inside the boxes are a gingerbread cookie, cocoa packet and chocolate stir stick.

I am re-vamping it for my Valentine's Stamp Camp on January 9 and 11th. Please check out my Stampin' Up! website for info or to sign up. My Stamp Camps are also available to order. Please email me for me info at stampin4him@ gmail.com

I will be making more posts today so check back soon!

Merry Christmas!

Melissa

Project Updates

Hello All! I am so sorry for not posting the projects. We have been sick for 2 weeks, had company visit from out of state and another round of stomach flu. I am praying that it is finally over and things can go back to normal or whatever it was before all the sicknesses!

I did manage to get some cute projects made and cut card stock for this weeks upcoming Stamp Camps. I am excited for Christmas. I think you guys will love what I have planned for Stamp Camp. Plus you might get a sneak peek at the upcoming mini!

Here is a picture of a Christmas "Flip Flop" mini scrapbook that we will be making this week. I used Real Red 12x12 cardstock, Merry Moments DSP, sticky strip, and Old Olive 5/8 Grosgrain ribbon. Not a lot of supplies but a WOW for sure!

It is not too late to sign up for the class. I am also offering a class by mail. For more info please email me at stampin4him@gmail.com

Have a wonderful weekend,

Melissa

P.S. I am attemping to make a rag quilt purse as created by Angie Juda. For more info please click here. She is very talented and is kind enough to make free tutorials for everyone! Thank you Angie!

Sickness is over (I think)

First the boys were sick and then of course I was sick. I thought it was over and was able to go away on an amazing retreat this past weekend. I came back and got sick all over again! Argh! It is not even November yet and I have been sick twice! Hopefully this is not a preview of what this season will bring me. I am on the mend and hope to be 100% soon.

I do have a few previews that I have been meaning to show you. This is a cute little box that can hold tags or 3x3 cards. I love the color combination of the Old Olive and Razzleberry. They just look so good together.

I have been busy making some cute reindeer boxes but for some reason the photo won't appear in my post. I will post it later.

Please check out my website for more info on classes!

Christmas Ideas

Here are the projects from the 12 projects of Christmas. I am really excited to make the cards for our projects. The next class will be held on November 7 from 9-11 and November 9 from 6-8. I will be at a craft fair on November 8, so if you are in Gettysburg, PA stop in at the Pike Restaurant and see all the good things we have to offer. I will post a flyer for the event shortly.

Have a super day!

The 12 Projects of Christmas Sneak Peek!

I have been busy designing and creating some fun projects for us to make in November. If you haven't RSVP'd yet, please do so right away. You don't want to miss out on these exciting cards, gift ideas and more!

This first picture is a card I created using My Digital Studio! I LOVE this program. You can create so many things with it. Flyers, Cards, Calendars, slide shows, DVD's, blog designs and digital scrapbooks and more. What makes it even cooler is that you can also print them out using Stampin' Up! print partner. They guarantee the colors will match exactly. That is awesome, especially if you plan to do hybrid projects.

Stamp Camp Sneak Peek

Hello All,

As promised here are a few of the projects that we will be creating at Stamp Camp this Saturday and Monday. If you haven't already RSVP'd, it's not too late. Please email me so I can add you to the list. We will be starting the 12 projects of Christmas and these are something to keep you organized when you start your Christmas shopping. A Holiday wishlist and pen and a receipt keeper. They are too cute and I can't wait for you to make them!
