Scrappin'N'Stampin Summer Camp

Hello!

      If you are visiting my site to check out the information on my summer camp, please check back in a few days. I will have pictures of projects and the special journal the girls will be using at our July camp sessions. Don't forget to sign up and pay the class fee before June 5 as I will need to get our supplies ordered and ready to go for the campers!

                                                                                 Thanks for stopping by,

Thank you!

Thank you. Two little words that have such an impact on our everyday lives. I do say thank you quite a bit, but I think adding a little treat makes the sentiment even more enjoyable. Think hard about the people you see everyday. Could they use a heartfelt thank you? My thank you list is growing longer each day. With the end of the school year, I feel it is important to recognize people I work with each day that help me, give great advice, and yes, are there when I need to vent a bit. I also have many students that have given me handmade cards, chocolate, and other assorted goodies throughout the school year who deserve a special thank you. I was raised and am raising my children to understand the graciousness and importance of thanking others. Some people may think it's old-fashioned to write thank you letters, but I strongly believe it is an art that should be taught and practiced.

 
This is a cutie that holds a tea bag on the inside. Once again I have used my go to Secret Garden set! I promise I have many other stamps, but this one is just so fun to use. The STAMPIN'UP! Honeycomb embossing folder really adds just the right touch to the background.
 
 
The Top Note die is a blast to create with in my opinion. I plan on attaching small cellophane bags filled with Jolly Ranchers. Just slide the "card" over the top of a bag and staple. It is as easy as that. This die is very versatile. If you search on the net and type in STAMPIN'UP! + top note die + images, hundred of ideas and projects will magically appear. I especially love some of the really cool Halloween projects created with this die. There are so many talented people who are willing to share their ideas. Thanks everyone!
 
 

First Stamp Camp

Last week I had my first two stamp camps. Several friends from school came to give stamping a try. These are the projects we completed.

Marla, a friend and fellow teacher, loves, loves, loves butterflies. It was a treat to see her get excited over this image and its coordinating punch. I have to confess this stamp set, Papillon Parade, is one of my favorite sets too. We added a little bling to the body with Stampin'Up! Jewel Rhinestones. A girl has to have her bling! She told me later in the week her daughter found her stamp camp projects and paid her a big compliment on her creativity.


 

This is a diaper fold goodie holder. It can be filled with little treats. We embossed the image at camp and also added an Itty Bitty banner. Campers were very impressed with the versatility of the Secret Garden stamp set and coordinating framelits that cut the flower images out so quickly and easily with the Big Shot die cutting system. The ladies also created a birthday card just like my son's card in my previous post. Everyone assured me they enjoyed their stamp camp experience and are awaitng my summer card buffets!
