So sorry that I didn’t get a post out yesterday. It was a busy day and by the time I sat down last night to do it the internet was down. I’m not sure what the problem was but it was back this morning when I checked around 8:30. Yesterday was – tennis camp (Ryan), meet the new band director (Tyler), dentist appointments (all 3 boys), tennis match (Ryan). Ryan did end up winning the tennis match with his doubles partner Sam – it was mostly due to Sam that they won – but Ryan did have the final winning shot though.
Today I’ll show a sneak peek from the new catalog – if you spend time out there looking at blogs you may have already seen this set being used. The set is called Circle Circus and actually coordinates with the Decor Elements called Eclectic Circles that we already have. This is a 6×6 scrapbook page that we made at my downline meeting last week. It is a design from a 12″ x 12″ layout that Stampin’ Up! created and is shown in the new catalog. I just made it smaller. The title is the Stampin’ Up! Billboard alphabet Sizzlits Decorative Strip Die for the Big Shot. The colors I used are Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Tempting Turquoise. The title is Chocolate Chip. And the button is from the Button Latte Designer Button collection. I think this is going to be a fun set and it works with all the circle punches that we have. You’ll see more of this from me as it will be my featured set for the next Blog Tour – more information is in the right hand side bar.
Have a great rest of the day!

The girls at the club meeting last night made some gorgeous framed art. I took pictures of them so that I could share with everyone. Some of them used the new Designer Series Paper in the Occasions Mini Catalog – Walk in the Park. Click on each one to see a larger image.
I think they all turned out great! The girls had lots of ideas for other frame projects and everyone loved the Decor Elements. So easy to apply. If you want to see the full line of Decor Elements click on the link in my side bar to take you to the catalog.
Happy Decorating!

Tonight is Stamper’s Club night. I always look forward to everyone coming over for a fun girl’s night out. I love the projects we make and the time we get to visit together. One of the projects we are making tonight is the frame with the Decor Elements. I made one in February for my Mom and probably posted it on my blog then. This is the one I made for me and I changed a couple of things. First I used a different Decor Elements – mine is the “Welcome” – and this is the small size. Then on the butterflies I tied Linen Thread around the centers instead of using thin strips of Chocolate Chip card stock.
Tonight the club members will be making theirs and I hope that they’ll let me take pictures and post them on here. There are a few different Designers Series papers that I used for them and everyone has the Inspiration Decor Elements – which has four word choices so I’m sure everyone will have something different.
The stamps set I used are the Inspired by Nature and Baroque Motifs (on the butterflies). The Designer Series paper is from Urban Garden. The colors used are Kiwi Kiss, Baja Breeze and Chocolate Chip. T
he Decor Elelments is in Chocolate Chip. The butterflies are die-cut with the Big Shot and the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Butterflies die – one of my favorite.
For an update on the birds today – the blue bird now has four eggs – we’ll see if there is anothe one tomorrow or if they are done with 4. Normally they have 4-5 eggs. Mrs. Robin is nicely sitting on her nest – here is a better picture of her.
I checked the Towhee nest – mom was out for a bite to eat – and the strangest thing – now there are 3 eggs – one is missing and it looks like the littest egg is still there – I’ll to see if I can figure out what happen with that. Very strange… a missing egg.
Have a fun evening – I’m having girls night!

Today I have added two new pages to my blog – you can find them on the right-hand side bar u
nder PAGES.
One is information about the BIG SHOT. I have had mine now for several months and I LOVE IT! I have noticed that alot of people have questions about the Big Shot and all the different dies and how to create the sandwiches. So I have decided to add this page about the Big Shot. I will be adding to this page over time. Right now it includes a list of the different types of dies with a description and the sandwich that you use to run it through the Big Shot machine. I have also included a link to a pdf file containing a list of the various materials that the BIGZ and Originals dies can cut through.
The other is a page about my CRAFT ROOM. This is where I work and have classes. I have taken a few pictures and will be taking some more. This one shows one of my stools with a Decor Elements flower on it. I will be adding to this page to show you other parts of my craft room.
All my Easter invites are completed – I put a few in the mail today, but ran out of stamps – so I’ll take them to the post office on Monday and get them mailed.
Ryan had a soccer game this afternoon – they won 2 to 1. Kyle went to a Math Tournament – like normal he didn’t have much to say about it.
Thanks for visiting today. I hope you have a great weekend.
Happy Stamping!

I wanted to share with you the gift I made for my mom for her birthday.
I used the Decor Elements for this project. There are actually four words in the set – Life, Hope, Faith, Love. We received this set as a gift at the Leadership Conference in January. I knew that I wanted to add the ribbon to the side but forgot when I added the word to the glass on the frame – I needed to scoot it over a little more to the right so the ribbon wouldn’t be so crowded against the edge. But I still think it turned out really nice. And see it matched her cake! Actually I made this first then decided to add the butterflies to the cake to match. This or a similar project will be a future Stamper’s Club project (with a supply fee) – the girls had asked about doing a frame project – and this is what I came up with. I hope everyone likes it.
Have a happy day!
