Tiny Suitcases

See this stamp pad? This is how tiny these little suitcases are. I found these on splitcoast in a few different colors and styles by a couple of people, but the instructions came from here, http://www.fiskarscrafts.com/projects/t_circle-purses-and-mini-baskets.aspx They will hold 2 Hershey Nuggets if you don't sqeeze the top closed.
6/19/08 Edited to add: I now have a tutorial on making these little suitcases. (It is much simpler than the Fiskars directions.) If interested, please contact me by e-mail. Becky

ICE...a scrapbooker's escape
Pictures of our Stampin' Up! booth from 'ICE...a scrapbooker's escape' show.
We had such a great weekend participating in ICE. The event was VERY well done! It looked beautiful all decorated in blue and brown with balloon bouquets and towering boxes of prizes. The scrapbooking ladies who attended the weekend crop were a wild and crazy bunch. You should have seen and heard them when the prize music came on!! They had tons of table space and food and fun. Some ladies stayed up all night while others took it easy. They had the most beautiful chocolate fountain and fruit and food buffets and goodies....
This was the first year for this event and I am confident it will be bigger and better every year. If you are even remotely close to Boise, ID, or interested in a road trip, keep an eye on http://www.iceescape.net/ for details about next year's event.
You can click on each of the pictures for larger views.
Thank you Stacy Palmer for taking this event on with me, Jennifer Thomas for letting us borrow your Color Caddy and Stampin' Stack & Store, Craft Warehouse (http://www.craftwarehouse.com/) for their generous donation of the desk pieces and Purple Ice Productions for the wonderful weekend. Oh, and Brian, George & Benjamin for their manual labor and encouragement... in case those guys read this ;) We love you!

Live Your Dream Class- Extended through the end of June!

Thank you!
Edited to add... Stampin' Up! has extended the mini catalog through the end of June. This mail order class will also be available through the end of June.
Ginger Blossom Lady Bug

This is one of the cards for the display. I used Groovy Guava cardstock, Ginger Blossom paper, scallop punch (3 of them to make the lady bug body), 1" circle punch, black brads, Guava Stitched Grosgrain ribbon and Stem Sayings for the words. I found this cute ladybug idea on splitcoaststampers by mrstam.
Check out the website, register for the 40 hour crop (I have a few $50 off coupons you can use), sign up for classes or just come to the public shopping day Saturday the 24th. It will be fun!
