This specials is good through the end of April and is available with Online Ordering too.
I’m going to wait and post new pictures of my birds on Tuesday after the Blog Tour is over. I checked the calendar yesterday and the Robins are probably going to be the first to leave the nest. I can see the babies stretching their wings and they are getting pretty big. I would expect them to leave sometime this week. The others maybe next weekend or the week after. I’ll keep my eyes on them.
I’ll see you all tomorrow on the BLOG TOUR.

I’m so excited! Today was the day we could register for the Stampin’ Up! convention. It will be in August this year the same week that school starts but I am headed to Salt Lake City! And all three of my roommates from last year are going too – we are going to have the best time! Now to get flights and our hotel…. It’s not too late to join Stampin’ Up! as a demonstrator and get registered to come to convention with me – call me if you want to learn more.
Stampin’ Up! also announced the winners of the Scrapbook Class Challenge today. I didn’t win this time but my class was still featured on the Stampin’ Up! website! That in itself is exciting! It’s the Butterfly Kisses & Birthday Wishes page that I made for my mom’s birthday pictures. Which happens to be the same layout that we made at my March Scrapbook class – we just used different colors for that one. Both were posted on my blog earlier –

Apr 9, 2009 | Chipboard, Good Friend, Scrapbook Pages, Stamps, Stem Sayings |
This is one of the scrapbook pages from my March scrapbook class. It features the SO TWEET On Board Chipboard. We colored the chipboard owl and branch using Craft ink and sponge daubers. The large scallop edge is made with the 1″ circle punch. Punch a bunch of 1″ circles and then attach them to the back of the card stock so that half of each circle is showing to form a large scallop egdge. On the So Saffron background I stamped the image from the Good Friend stamp set in So Saffron classic ink. 
The chipboard bird is covered with Designer Series paper. I lay my chipboard piece face down on the back side of the paper and trace with a pencil. Then cut it out. I use the Anywhere Glue Stick to adhere the paper to the chipboard. This gives you some “wiggle” room to slide your paper into position exactly where you want it. And I like to go back with a sanding block and sand the edges. If there is alot of overlapping paper I trim it with my paper snips before sanding. The eye, legs and beak were colored with the craft inks and a sponge dauber. This little bird is singing “Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday!”. The stamp is from the Stem Saying stamp set and works perfectly for a singing bird.
When we visited my parents this week we also celbrated my birthday. I haven’t seen them or my brother and his family in over a month (before my birthday), so this was our first chance to get together. I didn’t know my mom had a cake for me but she did and everyone sang happy birthday to me too. I have some pictures and think they will be perfect on this page. I need to get them printed soon and get them on here.
Please visit the other blog I created for the WowSrapbookKits that Wendy and I are doing. Go to wowscrapbookkits.wordpress.com to get all the details. There is also a permanent link on my Blog roll on the right sidebar. I am making a list of questions that people have asked about the kits and I will post on that blog soon with the answers.
Have a Happy Scrappin’ Day!

When I made the layout for my scrapbook class this week that had the butterflies I was really thinking that it would be perfect for the pictures from my mom’s birthday. So last night I made it again with different colors – I used Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss and Basic Gray to match the cake I made her. I had the pictures printed this morning and put them on my layout a little while ago. Here is the result:
I thought the title would be fun. Today is also the deadline for the Stampin’ Up! class challenge and at the last minute I did decide to enter again with this project. There were two challenge’s this month and I entered into the scrapbooking one. I spent the morning taking and editing the pictures of the layout and writing up the step-by-step instructions.
Thanks for stopping by!
