Scallop Square Rag Purse

That is right. I have been working on a rag purse that is all the rage with crafters. On this purse I used the Scallop Square Big Shot Die (115950), a little retired groovy guava ribbon a pair of $.25 jeans from the BFM, batting and material from the fabric store. It was very easy. If you can sew a straight line you can do this. Because it has that ragged kind of look to it I didn't stress about how straight my stitched lines where. As a friends says "it is all good".

Now you know I don't come up with these ideas on my own, so check out this blog if you want to see the video instructions.

Of course, Nicole has already asked if she can have the purse. I might just make another.

Good night all!

Want to guess what I am making?

Happy Friday night everyone. Right now I should be packing for the Let It Snow all day crop at the Salvation Army Church, but I am not. I have dragged my Big Shot and Scallop Square die out and am doing a little cutting. Anyone care to guess what I am making? Leave a comment if you can.

Did you know?

So Shelli!

Masculine Card Class

Here are three of the cards we will be doing on Wednesday Jan 27th. We are focusing on cards for men at this months card class. There will be the three cards shown plus a special valentines card. These masculine cards use glossy card stock, brayer, the Look Here pop-up die (don't let it scare you, it is much easier than the tree) with some great techniques.

This class must be prepaid by Monday January 25. Please send me an quick email if you would like me to save you a spot. Space is limited. Cost is $12

This is a really quick post because the kids are up stairs waiting for some one to make dinner and because I am the only adult home it is going to have to be me.

We where invited out for a birthday party on the weekend and the theme was Michigan State Football so I did my best to whip up a card in this theme. I have to say I am very happy with the results. The card is Whisper White and Night of Navy card stock and it uses the Look Here die and Serif Essentials Die.

Happy 47th Birthday Steve!

Have a great evening.

Buyers Club--January

Well, I just learn another lesson on using the computer. If you type it out in Blogger, Blogger saves as you go............Microsoft word does not.

It is getting to be a busy month. I am looking forward to the crop at the Salvation Army church next week. I am planning cards for my buyers group and Masculine Card Class on January 25th and 27th.

Here is a sneek peek at the project for the Buyers Group this month. The featured product this month is the Metal Edge Tags. With a $25 purchase you become part of the group. The hostess benefits are used to purchase the featured product and is divided between the group. You can of course buy more than one share. Email me if you would like more information on how the group works.

This card also uses the Sweet Pea DSP and the Old Olive 5/8" Satin Ribbon (this months Ribbon Shares ribbon) from the Occasions Mini Catalogue. Did you notice the punched border? That is from the Sale-a-Bration Flyer. Purchase $65 worth of product from the Idea Book and Catalogue or the Occasions Mini Catalogue and you could receive it free. That's right Free.

Look at the side bar from more details.

Happy Friday!

Tonight Group!

I have been playing a little this morning. I have a group in tonight and I have been working on some projects that use the Big Shot. We will be using the Three Tier Cake from the IB & C to make a very special birthday card. The cake is not nearly as hard to work with as the tree from the last mini catty. The die comes with candles to put on top of your cake or a little bride and groom.

We are also using the Sweet Pea Paper stack (117161) and the 5/8' satin ribbon. The ribbon is the months Ribbon Shares ribbon. You will receive two yards each of 9 different ribbon for $20 (taxes and shipping included). It is very beautiful ribbon. Let me know if you are interested in a share or two.

Here is what one of my groups did last night. It's a very cute stationary box for 3x3 cards. The bottom of the "thanks so much" card uses the new "Pinking Hearts Punch", the Vintage Vogue stamp set and the Very Vintage jumbo wheel from the Occasions Mini catalogue.

The idea comes from the blog of Pennie McCallum. Here is the link for the instructions. You can keep your cards simple like we did list night or dress them up in black and white. They make a great hostess or teacher gift.

My humble beginnings!

Have you ever noticed these two little cards in my studio sitting above my scrapbooking area? Ever wonder why they are there? These are the first two cards that I made after I received my Stampin' Up! order. It is amazing how much I have change. You don't see me using the fancy scissor any more or my chalks very much. I still like to layer though. The stamp set Fresh Flowers in long gone. I do still however have the Build-a Bug stamp set that I bought that first time.

I have a lot of people say to me, I can't do that when they see are card that I have made. I say it just takes a little practice.
