Well, I am finally getting back to posting. Can you tell I have a new computer?(haha) My old computer finally died, I tried to get it fixed, and well a long story short I did get a new one. It is so nice. I hope I can figure everything out on it.

This week I will be going to Cincinnati for SU's regional seminar. I can't wait. It is always so great. I will have lots to share when I get back.

Be sure to check out my Stampin'Up website for all the specials SU has now.

This is a baby announcement I made for one of my lesson students mom. I used the new in colors-crushed curry, melon mambo, & bermuda bay. On the hoofs, mane, and tail I used crystal effects. It really helped them to stand out. I used shimmery white card stock, and the grass is old olive ink. Every year I wonder how the new in colors can get better, but they always do.

This weeks special is #113694 the Heart to Heart Punch. You can see this punch on page 187. The cost was $15.95 & is on sale for $10.99. Let me know if you would like to order or you can go to my SU WEBSITE stampwithcbrown.stampinup.net Soon I will be letting everyone know about next months class.

Anniversary Invitation

This is the invitation I made for my parents 60th wedding anniversary party. I used the Sweet Stems stamp set, Raspberry Tart designer paper (love that paper), Regal Rose card stock. The ink is Rose Red. The words are from an old set I have (I like to save all the word stamp sets.) I used Shimmery White and Rose Red card stock with the Scallop Circle, Scallop Oval punches. I also used the Eyelet Border punch on the designer paper. Inside the typed the invite - I didn't want to write that much. Oh, I also used dimensionals to pop up the words.

Be sure to check out the retired list - now called the last chance list. Remember you have till the end of June to order any sets on this list. The discontinued accessories are only available till SU runs out of stock. Be sure to let me know if you need to order anything.

SCRAPBOOK PICTURES

This is one of the pages inside the scrapbook. You can see the pull out page a little & if you untie the ribbon you get a fold out for extra pictures. These two pages are the only ones that were stamped. I used SWEET STEMS for this page with VERSAMARK. Below I used the hostess level 2 DREAM A LITTLE Set. I used VERSAMARK and CLEAR EMBOSSING POWDER on the hummingbird. The paper is from TEA PARTY Designer Paper

.

This is the front of the scrapbooks that we made at the last class. Sorry it is sideways. I will try to lay things to scan different next time.

PAPER BAG SCRAPBOOK

May is National Scrapbooking Month. This month we will make a scrapbook out of paper bags. This is really cute and will be a lot of fun. This is something that you can make really fancy or a little simpler if you wanted to do it for kids.
When--Friday May 8th 7pm
Saturday May 9th 7pm
The cost is $10.00 or a $20.00 merchandise order.
Bring your own adhesive & come have some fun.
RSVP by Wed. May 6th.(this is important - there is a lot of prep work)

Stampin'Up has a special going(see the side bar) Buy 3 packs of Designer Series paper or 12x12 textured card stock and get one FREE. OR Buy the new Jumble Alphabet Set at 20% off (this is a sneak peek out of the new 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalog. If you are interested in becoming a demonstrator there is a scrapbooking starter kit special.

So many great things going on.
Hope to see you at my scrapbooking class--let me know what day.
Thanks
Cindy

Just a quick note to let everyone know that in May I am going to have a scrap booking class. We will be making scrapbooks out of paper bags. I will let you know more later. I am off to work.

Stamp A Stack

I am going to have a Stamp a Stack on April 17 & 18 (Friday & Saturday) from 7 to 10 pm. We will be making a total of 10 cards. We will make 2 cards each of 5 different designs. I will have different greetings available so that you can use whichever ones you want. Envelopes will be included. Please RSVP by Wed the 15 & bring your own adhesive.

Well, I just tried to post, pushed the wrong button and lost the whole post. Yes, of course I had just finished typing it. So, I will try again.
The card below was made with a hostess level 2 set-Dream a Little and the Raspberry Tart Designer Series Paper.
Stamp Night
Friday March 6th 7-10pm
Saturday March 7th 7-10pm
RSVP by Wed. March 4th--last minute--call and I'll let you know if I still have room.
Cost $10.00 or a $20.00 order
We will be making boxes and bags. I thought that this would be fun with Easter coming soon.
We will be using the Free Sale-A-Bration designer paper for some of our projects. (Remember Sale-A-Bration is still going on--see below for details)

Stampin'Up just anounced that they are going back to 1 catalog a year starting this July!!!Yeah!!!
There will be no more new double mounted sets!! Yeah!!! There is one in the occasions mini, and of course the alphabets will continue to be double mounted. I am really happy about these changes.

The Occasions mini catalog comes out on April 1st. SU is offering some sets for sale early. Check the side for a flier with pictures and prices. These are Easter sets. I hope I can get the flier posted!

SALE-A-BRATION

It is one of my favorite times of the stamping year! If you don't know how it works -read on!!

For every $50.00 of merchandise you purchase, you can choose a free Sale-A-Bration (SAB) product.
That is for every $50.00, so the free SAB just keeps adding up.

Host a workshop of at least $300.00 and you will get a free SAB. If your workshop is $600.00 you will get 2 products.

Sign up to be a demonstrator during SAB and select any set (up to $47.95) from the Spring/Summer Catalog free.

Now you know why it is such a fun time of the year. This year there are 4 different sets to choose from, or a ribbon bundle, or a designer paper bundle.

**I forgot to mention -- if you are coming to my Stamp Night bring your own adhesive
