Stamp Club Purses Part 2

Here are the second half of the darling purses made at Friday night's Stamp Club. I've had several questions about my Stamp Club this week so let me just answer them here...

My clubs are for my local customers here in the Boise, Idaho area. I currently am not offering an online class and no, I do not sell the stamp club projects as kits. Occasionally I will offer up the directions for the projects but mostly that is the perk of being in the club, is to get the 'inside information'. Ü

The pattern for the purse was one of my UStamp with Dawn and Friends projects for the 'With Love' session in February. You can still get the pattern and have complete access to all 30+ projects by joining UStamp HERE. Scroll half way down and on the right hand side is the UStamp with Dawn & Friends With Love blinkie. Click on the words below to join that session.

Stamp Club Purses Part 1

This week my Stamp Clubs made purses as well as their technique cards. I completely forgot to take my camera to the Thursday night class, but I remembered on Friday! Aren't these just the cutest ever??

This is half of them, tomorrow I'll show you the rest.

All purses were made with the Sweet Pea Designer Series Paper Pack.

April Stamp Clubs

April Stamp Club projects includes 4 technique cards and a purse!
This purse is the same pattern as the one I did for UStamp (February With Love session).

Stampin' Up!'s New Color Renovation

I'm sure you have all heard THE most exciting announcement ever from Stampin' Up! this week. They are renovating the color line-up and it is fabulous!!! No, I mean FABULOUS!!! I've waited forever for this. Stampin' Up! while having great quality colors, really needed to step it up and get on trend with some of the great colors that are so popular today.

Stampin' Up! is releasing 5 BRAND NEW COLORS and bringing back 10 of the retired In Colors!! On July 1st with the release of the new Idea Book & Catalog, this will be how our color collections look...fabulous, right? I am so excited!!!

As with all new things, sometimes we have to get rid of the old to make room for the new. So these are the colors we will bid a Fold Farewell to. They have served us well but it is time to move over and let the Color Renovation shine though!!!

Remember you have 3 months to stock up on these colors if you can't live without them. They won't be going away until the end of June.

Catching up on my stock of cards. I make cards and show people how to make cards, but I never seem to have one made when I need it! There is something wrong with that, so that has been one of my goals is to have my card box full...well it now has 10 in there! Ü

Master Nicholas is such a goof! He loves his Perfect Pull Up bar! I think you are supposed to put your legs in these things and hang upside down and do sit-ups or pull-ups or something that resembles exercise, but he thinks it is a swing! Silly kids!

Large Photo Purse

How exciting to click on UStamp to see what the featured project is...and discover it's mine! I still get so excited when it's my day!! Especially when it's a surprise. Sometimes Dawn tells me so I can coordinate posts and sometimes she just surprises me!

I love carrying photos of my boys in my purse…so how about carrying them IN a purse. This is a very quick and easy gift idea for a scrapbook purse made with two of Stampin’ Up!’s Medium Envelopes. Perfect for Mother’s Day, a wedding, or any occasion!

Come share MY day on UStamp with Dawn and Friends! This is one of my two projects for the Spring Soiree.

If you would like the directions to this project and a whole months worth of other projects, come on over to UStamp, HERE.

Happy Easter!

Easter Blessings my dear friends!

Isn't this just the sweetest little set of cards? My friend Terry Molineux sent them to me. Terry and I became friends on line through the wonderful world of blogging. She an amazing stamper, creativity just runs through her! I know because I have been the recipient of some of her art! If you are in her area, you should consider taking a class from her. You will NOT be sorry! Really...her stuff is incredible!
