Sharon's Lovely Swap Card.

Happy Tuesday!  This week is going to be over with before we know it!

This is the card that I received from Sharon for our SUDEMOONLY Swap.  She used the Petite Pennant Builder Punch to create a festive banner.

Thanks for sharing, Sharon!

See you right back here tomorrow!

SUDEMOONLY Demonstrator September Swap.

Well, hello there!  Happy Monday.  Here we are the first full week of school, Fall is in the air!
It is hard to believe that we are approaching my favorite time of the year!  I love Autumn!  I love all of the colors, smells and fun that come with it!

For the September Swap the theme was "favorite team colors."  I used Daffodil Delight and White.  Which are the colors for the boys' Fall Ball Baseball Team.  I have a great time watching them, so of course whatever team they are on, is my favorite team!

I used the new embossing folder Woodgrain!  I can see this alot in my future!  It is so natural and leaves behind a great texture.  The Stamps are from Everything Eleanor.  And, the sentiment is from Word Play.

Stay tuned this week.  I got a chance to do a bunch of stamping this weekend!  Oh, the fun!

Shoe Box Swap Continued.

This is the card that "the other Jessica" brought for us to create.  She used a popsicle stick for the stem.  How cute is that?  We just sponged the ink onto the stick and wa-la!

I thought that the use of the paper circles was great!  That was something that I hadn't tried!

Thank God It's Friday!  Have a great weekend!

Lisa's Amazing Little Album!

Lisa made 8 of these little books for us!  She is a part of our group, but lives faraway!  So, she mails in our swaps.  I was amazed with the detail of this project!  They must have taken her days to complete!

Each page is decorated and has a tab to pull up or out to add photos if we would like!

My only struggle is what to put in the book.  It is so elegant as is, that I think anything that I add to it would take away from its beauty!

Great idea, Lisa!  Thanks for sharing!

Jessica's Projects

Jessica showed us how to make two projects.  One is a fabric ornament the other a small  box using the Big Shot.

The ornament was really simple to make.  We used the Jumbo Sticky Rounds from the Mini Catalog.  You twist up a strip of ribbon and wrap it around itself while sticking it to the Sticky Round.   We finished it off with some ribbon for a hanger and a pearl in the center.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hostess Box.

At the last demonstrator get together that we had.   Diana helped us create this box from cardstock.   These projects really make me appreciate my customers at my workshops!  Sometimes, it is easier to show how to do a project, and others it is easier to make it!  This box will hold cards or little trinkets. 

After a little fiasco, I was able to make a box that looked okay.  I did score the paper a little violently, which resulted in some of the creases actually splitting.  But, a little clear tape mended the situation!

I don't know that I have the courage to make this box with my ladies, but it was neat to learn how to create!

Happy Labor Day!
