Deb's Stamping & Scrapping Grounds

Legoland!

We went to Legoland last year and I finally did this layout for it.  I had more photos, but left them at home, so I made do. I might have to do a 2 page layout or add a page that opens or something to fit more of the photos in and have it all match.  What a great day!

Punched Butterfly...

I know I said I would get the photo and directions up here today, but it isn't happening.  Also, it dawned on me that the butterfly is from the tag punch and the word window.  I did use the scallop for a heart though.  So, I hope to have all that done by the end of the weekend if time permits!  (Or if I steal it away late at night like I normally do.) In the meantime, I hope you like the layout of 2 of my boys mowing the lawn.  These are some of my husband, John's favorite photos and I finally scrapped them.  They are over two years old and the little guy there is now 5.  Enjoy! 

Thinking of You!

I cased this color scheme and layout from my up-upline Tina.  So I have 10 cards to go to 10 lucky people.  Will you be one of them?  Possibly, you'll have to wait and see!!!  I hope to send them out this weekend!  This is a level 2 hostess set in the current SU Catalog.  Check back soon for information on how to use your scallop punch to make a butterfly! 

Baby Card!

  My girlfriend, Jessica, just had another baby girl!!!  Congratulations to you and your family.   I made this card for Jessica who is a huge scrapper and very creative.  At first I didn't love the card, but the more I look at it - or the photo of it - I love it!  I think I will use the sticky letters and beads more often for more projects.  It just adds so much cuteness (is that a word?) to the card!

Wanted - teacher gift for Western Theme

This was a lot of fun!  I used the packets of chili and created these for my sons' school luncheon.  They were so simple and quick even with the embossing.    They got these and the giant clothespin as small thank you gifts. 

Teacher Gifts

I am working on giant clothespins  this week for the Teacher's Thank You Luncheon at my sons' preschool.  It is a "Ho Down" theme, so I went with the stars. I am also making a slider card with a chili packet inside.  I hope they like them.  This will be a super crazy/busy week with all that is going on.  We have our Crop Weekend coming up, but before then, I have things to do and plan.  I'll keep you posted as I can! 

Ribbon Holder

I was so tired of my ribbon getting intertwined, so I decided to make this cute holder.  It wasn't that hard, just a little time consuming.  I used the jumbo eyelets, drilled holes with a 3/8 drill bit and them used my eyelet setter to set them.  If I had the larger crop-a-dile, that would have worked, but....  It fit all 16 of the 1/4 grosgrain, 6 in colors, the taffeta ribbon and a few more.  I was able to fit two rows on the inside.  Now my ribbon is organized and I don't have to spend time untangling it!!   

Stampin' Up Convention here I come!

I am so excited to be able to attend the Stampin' Up convention this year!  Thanks to my husband who is super supportive and taking time off to watch our boys!!  What a great guy ~ he really has been on my side with being a demonstrator and trying to come home and help with the kids when I have a class or whatever!  I don't know how I got so lucky, but I am.  Anyway, I will be attending convention with my good friend and upline, the great Jen Peel.  I look forward to learning new ideas and meeting new people and coming back to share with whomever will listen!  Here is a cute photo of my boys: Eric, hubby John, and JP.  My secret sister from February made it for me, and it is one of my favorites!
