A Year in Review Part 3

Heading into summer and fall with these photos of year in review.  Convention was definitely a summer highlight!

July Favorites

I taught a couple of classes at convention - this one on Blogging.

Meeting up with my BFF and all our friends is always a highlight!!

I ended my short career with FSJ with a bang!  I hauled in the awards!  So grateful for my experience and my year and a half with them.

August Favorites

August was full of paper flowers and my online class which has been so popular that I've decided to keep in year round.

I've love this Cottage Bouquet stamp set and die.  

I started early with Halloween and this was a favorite - Eyes on You stamp set.

September Favorites

Let the fall stamping begin!  I love this little banner for the Letterboard!  I gave a bunch of these boards as Christmas gifts - they were a hit!

Coffee First dies and Hello Fall stamp set and dies.

This month I gave my stamp space a redo.  You can see the details HERE. 

I also created a special gift for one of my team.  This was a favorite project!!

I used the Cottage Bouquet stamp set and die and the Card Carrier die with corrugated paper.

A Year of Favorites Part 1

I'm taking a look back over the past year sharing some of my favorites from each month.  

It's been a busy, wild ride this year and in looking back, I can't believe how much I created, traveled and enjoyed!

January Favorites

My Purse-onally Perfect Purse got a donut makeover.  This is one of the displays I put together for the Pinners Conference.  The tutorial for making the purse can be found on the Tutorials Page of this blog, Purse-onally Perfect Purse tutorial $5.95.

This one was made with Bubble Gum cardstock and Confectionary Days Prints with the (now discontinued) Donut Worry stamp set.

Index Card rings using the  Romantic Bloom die.  I love making these with shaped dies instead of the traditional square or rectangle or even Post It notes.

Meeting Certified Celebrator, Brittany Young, at the Fun Stampers Journey Leadership Conference.

February Favorites

 

Oh look - another Index Card ring!!  This one was with a now discontinued Hop Cuts hostess only die.

I used the Card Carrier Die to create bags in three different sizes.  You can see the video HERE.

Definitely a February highlight - I was a guest tutorial author on Splitcoast Stampers with this lady bug bag.  You can see the video HERE. 

February was also the Idaho Scrapbook Show - oh what fun!  

The Idaho Scrapbook Show is back in Boise again, February 1-2, 2019.  Come join us!!

March Favorites

I love this card with a gift bag in the middle for money or a gift card!  You can see the video on how to make it HERE. 

This bright and fun card uses the Love Bunny and Flannel Life stamp sets.

Another fun baggie topper and a video on how to make them HERE.

Wreaths For The Gift Baskets

I wanted to create some wreaths for the gift baskets we were giving to add a little handmade touch to the gift.  I found these 8" wreath at The Lob (Hobby Lobby *Ü*) and decided to 'fix' them up.

I bought the wreaths and then a bundle of extra greenery that was little leaves, small gold ornaments and a few springs that were gold pearl.

 I started by wrapping the leaves around the wreath. 

 I made paper flowers using the Paper Flower tutorial and the Bloom Creator Dies.  I glued them on and started adding ornaments and filler.  Finish off with a beautiful bow. 

I forgot to take a 'real' photos so this one will do.  I put them together last minute so they wouldn't get squished and totally forgot.
