This darling card was sent to me & I thought I was share it with you today. I'm not sure you can see it but the red parts in the wreath are little punches made with the Crop a Dile. She used the Berry Christmas stamp set with Real Red & Certainly Celery.
The Very Vanilla cardstock was embossed with the Petals a Plenty Impressions Folder.
I'll retake a picture when the sun comes out....it was a cloudy day here in Kansas!

My project today is a Gift Card Holder. The first picture is of the one I made using the Christmas Punch Stamp set with the Christmas Cocoa Specialty Paper.
Did you notice something different about the Soft Suede Polka Dot Ribbon? The dots were a little too busy for me so I decided to sandwich two pieces of ribbon together. (I applied adhesive to one side & stuck them together.)
Here's a picture of the inside where I used the Christmas Greetings stamp set. The red strip up top is where you place the Gift Card.

My next picture is of the first one I made using the Tea Party Designer Paper with the Oval All stamp set.

p.s. I've had some emails regarding the Reward Punch card.....yes, I can tell you how many punches you have. After this month (November) I'll stop updating the spreadsheet and you'll be responsible.
My project today is the same one I showed you a week ago, it was the Window Treat Box and you can click here to see it again. The only difference is I didn't punch a circle or use the Window Sheets. Instead I used the darling Sweet Season stamp set.
Club girls, I've filmed the video & tried loading it three times on You Tube but it's it's not working. I'll give it another try tomorrow. Maybe it's on overload with everyone watching New Moon clips :)
Supply List:
One more note of business.......
My Customer Appreciation (Frequent Shopper) Reward Card Program has changed. Since online ordering began, I've tried to figure out the best way to reward my customers. I appreciate your loyalty and know that I would not be where I'm at without you! But, I'll be honest and tell you that the spreadsheet for keeping track of ordering has become a never ending list that takes hours & hours to update each month.
So, I'm changing it because I believe you would rather I spend time making cute projects & filming videos than doing more paperwork. The system I've created works just like the stores that have Punch cards (believe me I have several in my purse.....for example....Buckle & Smoothie King). You will be responsible for tracking your orders. When your card is full, let me know & you'll get your choice of any stamp set for FREE. Please read all the details and you can click here to read them.
I've created a super cute card for you to track your orders and I used My Digital Studio to make it. To print it, just right click & select "Print" or you can click "save as" and save it to your computer and then print it.
Thanks!

p.s. I'll post later on Sunday the name of the person that won the Deer Friends Stamp set and I'll post the next free stamp set.
Update Nov.22nd...... I can tell you how many punches you have on your Reward Card up to November. After Nov. you'll be responsible for tracking them.
Here's a few photos from opening night of New Moon. The first picture is of Julie & I (aka my stamping buddy, my quilting buddy, my convention buddy and my twilight series buddy).
We are so very thankful that Teresa had blankets in her van but can I just say 'we were frozen solid"!! Our group consisted of me, Julie, Teresa, Melissa, Tracy, Brooke & Brooke (yes two Brooke's). I'm kicking myself for not talking a group picture and for not having a memory card with me.
The next picture is of the line.....this is how close we were to the door....you should have seen the line going in the other direction (tried to take that one and that's when I realized I had no memory card). (I know I worded that wrong.....hopefully it will make you laugh.)
We had tickets but for some reason we had to wait outside. Over an hour in the cold temps was not how we expected our night to begin! Good thing Eclipse is in June! Local girls....we're going back to Palazzo 16 for the next one (with my luck it will be 110 on June 30th and I'd rather wait in doors). Go ahead & mark your calendar for June 29th.
I'll share more photos later...I'm waiting to get a few of them from some of the other girls.
My next picture is a Pin Cushion I bought last week.....isn't it darling? It clamps right on to my sewing table :) I'll have another one to show you next weekend (a gift I received).
I bought this little old sewing table years & years ago and I kept our bird cage on it. Yes, I stole it from our bird :) we joke & say she deserves it (I'll share that story one day).
Have a good night!
Good afternoon,
Last night was a blast and I loved New Moon! But I'm so stinkin tired I can hardly talk let alone type. I'll share some pictures with you and then post more details this weekend.
The first picture is of the goodies I made for everyone that joined me for New Moon. I think they were a hit :) Ladies mark your calendars....June 29th, 2010 join me for the release of Eclipse.
Here's a better picture of the Quilted Flowers that went around their bags. They're made with our Stampin' Up! big shot dies, Flower Folds & the Scallop Circles. I also used the 1 1/4 Old Olive Striped Grosgrain Ribbon.
The next picture is of the purse I made for this special occasion. I couldn't resist! I found this darling fabric and I just had to make myself a purse!!
Here's a closer picture......I think I'm getting better at sewing!!
I'll try to show you some pictures from last night soon. Get this...I charged the battery for my camera but forgot my memory card and Melissa had her memory card but a dead battery. Julie saved us & took a few pictures. I was so excited about the movie I forgot several things....like ordering chips at Chipotle. I always get chips with my meal and with all the excitement it slipped my mind.
Have a good night and see ya tomorrow.
p.s. Tomorrow I'll post the instructions & links for the Tall Top Note Box.
Good afternoon,
My project today is the same Top Note Box as yesterday....except I used the Punch Art Reindeer on it instead of the Punch Art Santa :)
I'm not sure which one I like best....they're both so stinking cute!!

p.s. in less than 12 hours I'll be watching New Moon....it's going to be very hard to think about stamps or quilting tomorrow!! I'm sure I'll be totally obsessed with New Moon and want to talk about it all day. That's why we're going to see it again tomorrow afternoon. Get this....I made a new Rag Quilt Purse just to take to the movies. I'm thinking I should have made a blanket given all the hours we'll be there.
Good morning!
I'm super excited to share my project with you today!! It's a Santa Box using the Top Note Die.
I created this box to fit the Top Note die. How I started it is........ I took the Little Halloween box I made a few months ago and just made it larger. The videos are filmed.....on how to make the Santa and the Top Note Box and I'll let you know as soon as I can get them loaded on my Chic n Scratch Live! website. (I almost added the rebar tie wire to add handles....I may do that on the next one.) You'll make this Punch Santa with all our Stampin' Up! punches.
A big "Thanks" to Linda for sharing her Santa with me! I had to alter him somewhat to get him on this box. I'll share the full body Santa soon!
Here's the supply list:

Good afternoon,
I took a trip to the fabric store and decided to get started on my Rag Quilt Blanket ...... or is a throw? I searched online for all the details and there's a lot of info on this subject. What I've decided to do is make the quilt based on a hodge podge of info and then try to incorporate Stampin' Up! in the process (on the next rag quilt).
For example, my first Rag Quilt Purse was made with just regular 5" squares and after I made it I decided to use the Scallop Square Die. What a time saver that was!! I cut 126 squares last night and 63 this morning. Having the Big Shot do the cutting really does save you time!
Here's a picture of my squares and I purchased this fabric at Quilters Haven in Olathe, KS.
Here's all of them......
The next picture is how I figured it out on paper. I decided after much research that I wanted my throw to have 7 squares across with 9 down. Each square is a 6" square. I need 63 squares for the front and 63 for the back. I also need 63 squares of batting and I choose 4 1/4 for the size. Notice how I said "I choose"? There's a lot of info out there and I'm just a beginner so I'm going with what the ladies tell me at the quilting store.
Here's how I figured out how many squares I needed of each pattern.
I'm not sure when I'll get started but for now my squares are ready for whenever I have some time to sew (usually very late at night when I'm too tired for anything else).
If you emailed me about the Cowboy prints on my sisters purse. I went back to Quilters Haven and bought some more fabric and now I have the names. Here ya go:
I bought several patterns of new fabric & I'll save it for next weekend.
Have a great day!
