Special Valentine Class February 10th

Join me

Wednesday, February 10

from 6:30 to 8:30pm

for a fun and festive

Special Valentine Class!

*

We will create this adorable photo booklet

that fits snug into a sweet little deorative tin.

Perfect for any purse or desk or treasured spot!

* 

This sweet little booklet uses the

"Sending Love" Specialty Paper

by Stampin' Up!

found in the Occasions Mini Catalog

(see side bar for a page by page copy.)

* 

With eight little pockets

and a cheerful card tucked into each,

there is plenty of room for all sorts of photos & messages.

* 

We'll be using the stamp set

"I (heart) Hearts" from the

Occasions Mini Catalog

along with the Sale-a-Bration stamp set

"Whimsical Words."

You can select Whimsical Words as your

FREE STAMP SET

with your Sale-a-Bration order.

*  

But that's not all!

We will also be creating this super fun Valentine card

with the Heart Treat Cups and
"Sweetheart" stamp set as well!

Everyone in attendance will have a chance to win

FIFTY PERCENT OFF THIS STAMP SET!

(See side bar for Sweetheart stamp set details.)
*

And if you'd rather make these projects

"just because" instead of Valentine's Day,

you can select from many other verses

rather than "Happy Valentine's Day."

These projects are perfect for any occasion of year!

*

This class is only $10 which includes all supplies

(excludes adhesives.)

Memories of Fall...

One thing I love about scrapbooking is

how it lets us preserve any memory anytime of the year.

I can scrapbook my photos from

summer vacation and feel the warmth of my memories

right in the middle of winter!  Love that!

*

And one thing about mini albums that I love

is the feeling of "completion"

that I get when I put one together.

My photos are in an album!  Done!

LOVE that!

*

This adorable mini album shares memories

of an annual trip to a local beloved crafting town.

I used the Designer Series Paper

"Autumn Meadows" by Stampin' Up!!

I believe I will be ordering yet another pack of this paper

before the Hoilday Mini Catalog retires (January 5, 2010.)

LOVE it!!!

*

This is the first time I used my

Serif Essentials Alphabet

with my Big Shot.

Can I just say... LOOOOOVE it too!

Just look how adorable these alphabet dies

made the "LOVE" here on the front of my album!

*

The Full Heart Punch was used

to create each of the hearts in this album.

Most were punched from the DSP

and some were punched from card stock.

*

It's a bit difficult to see my button

but if you know the

Designer Latte Buttons,

you know the teeny flower is very shiney or glossy.

I wanted my button to match the "weathered" look

of my Autumn Meadows DSP.

So I simply ran it across my sanding block a couple times

and voila!... a vintage button for my album!

*

*

One of my absolute fav stamp sets is

"Forest Friends!"

It just looks so cute with just about any project!

*

To get the same "weathered" look on my card stock

as there is on my DSP,

I used my Stampin' Sponges to burnish some ink

and my Color Spritzer to spritz on some specks.

*

Of course, no project is complete without ribbon!

I simply tucked some beneath a few hearts

as well as adding some to a photo

for the finishing touches.

*

This fun mini album was made simply and easily

because of the products you see listed in "red"

and these other wonderful Stampin' Up! products...

Crop-a-dile

Circle Scissor Plus

Paper Snips

Cutter Kit

Mini Glue Dots

Pop Up Glue Dots

Dimensionals

*

When you host your own workshop

(either in your home or mine,)

you and your friends can learn how to use

all of these products and more!

Email me today to schedule your Sale-a-Bration Workshop

for January or February 2010

and receive FREE STAMPS for every qualifying purchase!
