Popcorn Invites

Aren't these the cutest things you have ever seen?! My daughter is having a movie birthday and I wanted to make the invites. I patterned these after the flower pot cards with a few changes.
Here is a single invite. The top of the popcorn holder is 4 3/8" and the bottom is 3 1/4". The red stripes are 1/2" each. I used the ticket corner punch for the sentiment because I wanted to give it a "ticket" feel.Here is the invite with the center pulled out. For the popcorn, I used the scallop circle punch and punched different sizes. I sponged them with More Mustard to give them some definition and to make them look like they had butter on them.

My daughter is turning 7 and absolutely loves these invites. She said she wants a cake that looks exactly like the invites. I have to think about that.

Thanks for visiting and see you next time,

My first scrapbook progression!

Here it is! My first scrapbook page progression! I am so happy with how it turned out. I am going to have my customers at a workshop make the 6x6 page and then so them how to make the 8.5x11 and then the 12x12 page. I have fallen in love with the Play Date DSP from Stampin' Up! I think it is the perfect paper for a Summer birthday!

Here is the 6x6 page.I used a strip of the flower DSP for this one. The cupcake is from the Crazy for Cupcakes stamp set. I stamped it on Whisper White and colored it with the coordinating colors from the DSP.
Up next is the 8.5x11 page.
I used the Cupcakes wheel and Versamark for the cupcakes on the top of the page. The balloons are stamped on card stock, cut out and layered on the page (some have dimensionals). The So Saffron in the middle is from the Play Date DSP. The rectangle layer is where I will put some journaling and the square is for another photo.

Here is the 6x6 layered with the 8.5x11.An last but not least, the 12x12 page.
This one was super easy. I cut a strip of the Chocolate Chip numbers from the Play Date DSP and layered the number "4" from the colored sheet over top. I used a wire clip from the Clips Assortment to give it some definition. The sentiment is from the On Your Birthday stamp set. The final two squares are for two more photos. I don't have any photos to put in them because I plan on using this page for my son's birthday in a couple months.

Thanks for visiting and see you next time.

Greeting Card Back to School

How cute is this stamp set?! This set is called Greeting Card Kids and it is my new favorite! These little kids are so cute and versatile. I am going to give this card to my daughter's second grade teacher for back to school. You could also give this card to any parent whose child is going off to college or your own child going off to college as a "miss you" card.

This layout is for Mojo Monday. I decided to use different patterns from the Play Date Designer Paper Pack. I got this pack for FREE at Convention in July!

Remember that you have until the end of August to host a $350 workshop in order to get your extra $25 hostess freebie. Contact me today to book your workshop.

Final Convention Post

Convention was so much fun! This was my first one and I will absolutely be going again. Here are some photos from the sweet shop. Everything is made out of paper and embellishments!


Don't they look good enough to eat? I only took a couple of photos from the sweet shop because I got hungrier the more I stood there. I also wanted to share a couple of photos from the game show. I made it to the game show!!! I didn't make it past round one but it was so much fun. (After I got over being nervous in front of almost 2800 fellow demonstrators, being on that big stage and seeing myself on the jumbotron.)

For the last of my Convention photos, the second photo I took with Shelli. This was during lunch on Thursday of Convention. I was actually late to my class because the line was so long. The next day, they cut the line short so that no one would be late for class.I got Shelli to sign my Convention booklet!! Like I said earlier, I will be going back to Convention because it was so much fun. We learned a lot of new and exciting techniques and information. If you would like to join us next year, send me a comment and I will be more than happy to share my love for what I do!

Thanks for visiting and see you next time.

Flower Power Party at Convention

On Wednesday (check-in day) Stampin' Up! hosted a Flower Power Party. Many of the demonstrators chose to go all out and dress up. I didn't go all out but I did wear a dress that looked like it could have been from the sixties.Here I am with the Singing Serenadors.
Even Shelli and Sterling got dressed up for the Party!

We were told that there would be a game show on Saturday during the Closing Session. Qualifications were held at the Flower Power Party. This is a list of the games we had a chance of playing if we made the cut. I will share more photos from the game show later. I will tell you that I had a blast!!!

The Party was so much fun! I think everyone there had a lot of fun! I will share more Convention photos and exciting news tomorrow.

Thanks for visiting and see you tomorrow,
