Heres a favorite card of mine

This card I have been making for a couple of years now with this set. I really like it, its simple but elegant. If you like it contact me, mrobieinvt@netzero.net or 433-1328. This set is now retired but I have one set used for sale. I need to get some new sets so will be selling some of the old.

A fun card made with a set sent to me for free!

This set is going to be a hostess set in the new catalog coming out in January. Stampin up sent it to all their active consultants as a thank you. It is called time well spent. It has a quote in it saying "time spent with friends is time well spent" I can not wait to use it for my scrapbook page of my retreat this past november, its perfect for that.
I got this idea from splitcoast. Using my ever favorite glossy paper and the crayon resist technique with sponging. :0) Cardstock used is tempting turquoise and green galore the same ink color for the sponging also. It is springy kind of card. I like that even though winter is just beginning I can stamp a spring card if I feel like it.


oh here is one more of the 2 more of the ornaments I made to:

Some Christmas Projects I have been working on

These are slide ornaments, they are pretty easy to make and a lot of fun. Never throw anything away without saying can I use it for a stamping project. I made 5 of the snowman ornaments in an hour and 1/2, start to finish. I didn't think that was too bad.
The snowman and the tree are from my brand new set. I bought it special for these ornaments because the set was cute and everything in it was nice and narrow. Its called Wishing you Cheer, its in the Fall Winter Stampin Up catalog on page 33 for $13.95. There is a nice saying in the set too that I put on the back of the ornaments.


Also I have made these cute little magnet calendars for your fridge. I need to make them more all occasion paper as the same background will be seen for the whole year. So I have to work on that but aren't these cute.

I actually took one of these from my wall hanging decorations that I made above. I am thinking of having a last minute gift making session at my house in case anyone wants to make some of these projects. Please feel free to leave comments. or email me: mrobieinvt@netzero.net

This was my set up for the big retreat. Unfortunately I didn't get to use my cricut machine at all Like I had hoped for but We had a lot of fun. I was sitting in front of this set up with all of the croppers facing each other in a big circle. This is a great space but we are on the hunt for a new location. Too many restrictions in a library. Maybe we will find a hotel that has affordable rates. I am ready to go to a retreat where I am not the hostess also. I never seem to get anything done when I am in charge. We sure did have fun though, there were door prizes, a 100% raffle, great food, fun and laughter through most of the weekend. :) I even got to do a few demos, people were curious about some of the cards I had made. They wanted to see how to put glitter on a page and I showed Pat how to make an ornament with a piece of paper and 2 microscope slides.

A Special for a Special Friend and Her Special Boy!

Some of you have seen or heard about a scrapbooking video?? Well I found out about it through my upline Erika, she put it on her blog and really helped promote it. Now they want to help her promote a cause special to her. Her son Zach has autism and she has helped design a stamp set for a charity and all kinds of things like that. Well now there is this:

Starting NOW through January 1st, 2008, MockUTV is donating $1 from each copy of this awesome DVD sold towards a charity that is near and dear to my heart: Autism Support Daily

Did you know that one in every 150 children are diagnosed with some form of autism? That's ONE TOO MANY! And did you know that's only the number of children that are actually diagnosed? And did you know that many of these children "fall the through the cracks"? There ARE things that can be done about this and YOU can help!

And get this......you even get FREE shipping on the DVD! Talk about a win-win for everyone! This is the perfect gift for any papercrafter and scrapbooker on your Holiday wish list or even as a treat for yourself....and the best thing is, you're supporting a VERY worthwhile cause!
