So... awhile back I saw a card much like the above card (at least I think it was), it was before I got the stamp set, so when I pulled it out to use I kind of CASEd the other card.

More info on November 20x20 Wednesday

Because I know that some of the cards are duplicates of themselves, I did design another that I will post later. Because this is starting a little later in the month and with Christmas Eve on a Wednesday some of the cards will be used both months. I will replace designs that get used up with a new one. The Wednesday before Thanksgiving I will still have my stamping room open.

Have a great day and I will post pictures later.

last of the November 20x20 Wednesday

So there are the 20 cards for the Wednesday stamp camps.

Every Wednesday starting on November 12, I will have an open stamp camp at my home. I will cut supplies for 20 of each card, when the supplies are gone that card will be gone for the month. Every month I will have 20 different cards, each card will cost $1.25 to make. I will have a 3-d item and it's cost the week before, usually these will be ordered and paid for in advance. Next Wednesday will be clear pillow pouches, I'll try to post pictures later.

Envelope Boxes

As you can see my camera is dieing, I haven't been posting because I can't get a clear shot! The boxes are made with the envelope die a step by step tutorial can be found at this blog: http://danniesdesigns.typepad.com/my_weblog/2008/10/big-shot-scallo.html

I used the Ghostly Greeting designer paper and Tangerine Tango, Basic Black, and Whisper White card stock. The stamps are from the Batty for You set, I colored them with markers.

12" x 12" Scrapbook Page II

This one I have decided needs another layer of matting behind the pictures. I am going for fast because I am years behind in scrap-booking. I do my album (called the family one) and a set for each child. I have 5 children and one grandchild... I am so behind. So my layouts and embellishments have to be fast and simple. Though I have decided that I need to do some with a little more, so that I can feel like I created. Hope you all are having a great day!

Double Page Layout

So my paper isn't Stampin' up, I've been scrap-booking for about 18 years (I'm 5 years behind on my albums, 4-10 years behind on by children's albums) When I started I lived in California and there wasn't such a thing as a scrapbook store there, so every time I visited Utah I would stock up at Pebbles or KMA so now I am combining years old paper from who knows where to the paper I now buy from Stampin' up. I mirrored the paper strips on each page then added the matted pictures. I have about 25- 12" x 12", 12- 8 1/2" 11", 1- 6" x 6" Books done so far. If my husband knew how many thousands of dollars are invested in those books...
