Yep, you can reach this blog by typing in www.stampinwithcarol.com.  I'm moving up in the blog world and secured my own domain.  It took a little research to figure it out, but not it's done.  And it's cool!

I attended...

the St. Charles Scrapbook Expo a little over a week ago.  I took a couple of  classes.  I just wanted to share the projects I made there...

Happy Monday!

Couple of samples I made last week...

Kerry's Workshop Yesterday...

...was a lot of fun!  Thanks to all you ladies who came out to join us.  And a special thanks to Kerry for hosting.  Here are the 2 projects we did...

This is a gift card holder that fits in a gift card envelope.  I did change the background around the Celebrate You from the Tangerine to Baja Breeze and it really perked it up.

And this is the card we did.  I love this new set!  It's called Inspired by Nature.  We used markers to color it: More Mustard, Pumpkin Pie, Close to Cocoa, Chocolate Chip, and Old Olive. 

Really great card!  And it was fun to make!  :)

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Some card samples

Sunday I had the opportunity to gather with some of my Stampin' Up! demonstrator friends and share ideas.  Lori and Jen showed us all the great things they did at convention and shared their awesome swap cards.  Too bad I forgot my camera.  Duh!  I did take some pics with my phone.  I have yet to see how they came out.  But we also did a shoebox swap and here are the items I got to make!

This is a lip balm holder.  And Lori was kind enough to bring each of us an exclusive convention item...lip balm featuring one of our designer series papers featured on the label.  How cool is that?

Sorry for the blur on that one.

I also brought 2 shoebox swaps to share.  I'll post pics of those tomorrow.  Don't want to use up all my ideas in one day now.

But what I do want to show you is the wonderful thank you gift I received at my future SIL's bridal shower on Sunday...coasters!

         

     Isn't that nice!

Yes, you can stamp on a cast

My friend, Kathy, unfortunately has broken her ankle.  But you can see she's having some fun with her new stamps!

  

Heal Quickly, Kathy, and thanks for sending the pics.
