Stampin' with Carol

Introducing Class-to-GO kits!

So many times I hear, “I wanted to come to the class, but the date wasn’t good for me.” 

Well, I’ve solved the problem.  I’m so excited to announce my new “Class-to-GO” option!  The class you missed is ready to be delivered to your door.

Most of my in home classes will now also be offered as “to-GO" kits.  Everything will be pre-stamped and pre-cut.  Accessories and complete instructions (with pictures) will be included.  Class-to-GO kits can be preordered prior to the actual class time.  They are available for local pick-up at my home or can be shipped for an additional fee. 

And the first Class-to-GO kit is available now!  I've added a link to my available Class-to-GO kits over there on the right side under "my favorite links".  For now you can click HERE! 

More kits will be available soon!  So, be sure to check back.

Ok, lets try that picture again...

Thanks, Kerry, for letting me know it didn't show up in the previous post.

And while I'm here, here are a couple of boxes I made recently.  They would be prefect for putting little notes in, coupons for your hubby, quotes, poems, etc. 

   

Have a good day!  Stay warm!

It's warming up!

Yep, made it into the 20's today!  It's like a heat wave!  Hard to believe it is the end of January already.  Where does the time go?

So, what did you think of the cookie sheet calendar?  Too cool!  Here's a card I did this week.  It is no longer in my possesion since I needed it today for a birthday party.  I copied the design we did at Diva days and just changed the deisgner paper, colors, and added some dimensionals for that "pop".

That's all for today.  Look for somthing new I have planned for you later this week...  It has something to do with my classes.

Have a good week!

-Carol

It's Friday!

And here's the project I promised...

This is a cookie sheet perpetual calendar!  All the months and numbers have magnets on them so you can change this every month and add other reminders for parties, appointments, and birthdays.  Isn't this so cool?  Much cooler in person.  Love it!  Now, where to hang it....

-Carol

I am a DIVA!

Oh, yes I am!  And today I attended DIVA Day!  How lucky am I?  What is it, you ask.  The head of the stampahowlics group (www.stampahowlics.com) offers DIVA Day to members of her downline that meet a certain sales requirement the previous month.  DIVA Day is a fun event to honor all of us "DIVAS" with a special stamping day just for us!  I don't normally go because this is held 2+ hours from my home.  But this time I did go and had a great time!!  I'm going to post the pojects we did today, except for one.  That one you'll have to wait for.  It's the project that made me drive over 4 hours round trip to do.  I'll post it on Friday.  And you don't want to miss it!  It's totally WOW!

      

   

I'm also going to add an album over on the right of the page with some samples of things the other demonstrators brought to the meeting to share.  Some are swap cards from the recent Leadership meeting.  Some really cute ideas!

Lots to catch up on!

  Hey everyone!

Lots to catch up on since I've been a bit neglectful to my blog as of late.  This past Monday was my birthday.  And it was a good day!  My Sammie girl and the hubby went all out this year.  The hubby took me on a little romantic getaway for the afternoon.  Sammie planned my party.  Here's a couple of pics:

    

   

Sammie picked out my scrapbooking gifts herself!  And she did a great job!  Fun!

I have also finally finished the samples for the chipboard calendar class.  It's coming up on Saturday, January 26th and 30th.  RSVP now!

  This is what it looks like assembled and how it will sit on your desk or counter.  Here are the individual calendar pages:

And lastly, but not least.  Here are a couple of hand stamped birthday cards I received:

  My Sammie made this for me.  I'm a lucky Mommy!

This is from my upline, Lori.  Thanks, Lori!

This is from my friend and blog stalker, Kerry.  Thanks, Kerry!

Happy New Year!

Yes, I realize I'm a little late.  But I mean it, none the less.

Things are going well.  We've been busy with this and that.  Sammie starts up her classes at the zoo and park district this week.  And storytime at the Crete Public Libary, too.  It will be nice to have a schedule and back into a routine.  We've been a little lax over the holidays.  I hope things are good with all of you.

I had my New Catalog Open House today.  I missed seeing some of you there!  Here's the 3 projects we made:

This is a magnet for the fridge with a 2008 calendar and post-it notes.  It is made by putting 2 of the chipboard coasters together and covering with paper.  Adding magnets to the back might help, too!    I just used scotch tape to hold the 2 coasters together. 

Here is the card we made.  I totally CASED it.  And I apologize to the creator for not making a note of the blog I got it from.  If it's you, please let me know.

And lastly, but not least, the 2 inch altered binder clip.  Perfect for holding your favorite photo!

We had a lot of fun this morning!  (But we missed you, Kerry!)
