Not Green Apple, Olive Apple

Here is another quick card that I demonstrated at Libby's workshop tonight. Isn't it cute! It's a simple layout that is very useful for many different stamp sets, inks, cardstock, and designer series paper from Stampin' Up! And, isn't that Tart & Tangy set just the cutest?

Fall Flair Progressive Scrapbook Page

At Libby's workshop tonight, I am going to demonstrate how to start with a simple 6X6 scrapbook layout, then, work your way up to an 8 1/2X11 layout, and finally, finish up with a 12X12 layout. Libby and her guests get to make this 6X6 page of their own to take home!

Friend Sour Cream Container

I love to spoil my workshop hostesses! Here is a cute and simple 3D project that I'm going to demonstrate to Libby and her guests tonight. (Although, Libby's will look a little different because I'm using some new DSP! Show you all later!) Best of all, as a hostess, Libby gets to keep all of the projects that I demonstrate...and did I mention that there will be chocolate inside of her container? If you would like directions for this awesome project, please visit Dawn's Stampin Studio for a fabulous video tutorial.

Real Red Statement of the Heart

Today is the first day of school for my boys, Noah and Ben! I made this simple card for them to take to their teachers which includes the Statement of the Heart stamp from Stampin' Up. I think the Statement of the Heart is not only appropriate for demonstrators, but also for teachers! Thank you teachers and welcome back to school!
