Stamping Around the Clock

Haitian Disaster Relief

On January 12, 2010, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti, leaving in its wake devastation so overwhelming that the Haitian people and their leaders can only look for help from the outside to cope. We can help make a difference in the lives of those who continue to suffer from the effects of this earthquake by purchasing, the I {Heart} Hearts stamp set.  

From now until February 28, 2010, $2 from every I {Heart} Hearts stamp set you buy will be donated to the American Red Cross’ Haiti Relief and Development Fund. The Red Cross is already well-established in Haiti, and this money will be used to provide immediate relief and long-term support through supplies, technical assistance and other support to help those in need.

Product Name	Item #	Price
I {Heart} Hearts – clear-mount  (block D recommended)	118571	$18.95
I {Heart} Hearts – wood-mount	117010	$26.95

The $2 donation from Stampin' Up! is from the purchase of either version of I {Heart} Hearts, clear-mount or wood-mount.

Happy Stampin' and Helping!

Crop & Craft for a Cure

Today was Crop & Craft for a Cure in support of Team COURAGE and the fight against Breast Cancer!  I'll try to post a few photos soon, but those who were able to attend had a great time. 

If you were unable to attend today, you still have a chance to make the projects!

Join me on November 15th for Santa's Workshop and we will make some of the projects featured at today's event!  These are just a few of the choices in Santa's Workshop, so I will post more information and photos soon.

I am also working on card and project kits, so look for more information on those later this month!

Here are the projects and card from today's event:

 

This is a mini chipboard album.  The chipboard coasters we used for the front and back cover were provided by Cindy Lyles at www.starlitstudio.net.  Thanks so much Cindy!  Everyone loved the coasters and the project!

 

This was our Season of Simple Grace card.  Sorry, the lighting didn't work so well on this one.  The card base is actually Whisper White cardstock, and much brighter in person.

The colors on this card are similar to another card I made that was inspired by Harry Potter and Jan Tink.  You can see that one here. 

  

This is the inside of the card.  Again, visualize bright white paper for the background.  :-)

   

And, finally, we have the Snowman Ornament and Box.  The ornament was made with chipboard scalloped squares from our On Board Something Seasonal packet.  I love the little bit o'bling on this one!

The box is actually four Scalloped Envelopes cut from the Big Shot!  This little die is so versitle, I think I need to do a whole class on it! 

Well, I hope you enjoy all these fun projects.  If you are interested in Santa's Workshop on November 15th or my upcoming card and project kits, please leave a comment below or email me.

Thanks!

Happy Stampin'!

Count-Down to Stamp Camp Fundraiser

I just wanted to remind everyone about our Stamp Out Cancer Fundraiser.  This is a Children's Stamp Camp that will be held next week, on Tuesday and Wednesday.  You pick which day is best for you.  We will complete the same projects each day.  The proceeds for this Stamp Camp will be donated to Team COURAGE, a local walking team that will participate in the Avon Walk for Cancer - Charlotte this October.  The cost is $35 per child.  You can view more details in the flyer here: Download stamp_out_cancer_flyer_1_extended_deadline.pdf.  If you are interested in having your child(ren) participate in the Stamp Camp on either July 29th or July 30th, please contact me for registration information as soon as possible.  You can also view large images of some of our projects in my first post here. 

Happy Stampin'!

Let the Blogging Begin!

Happy 4th of July!  I am thrilled to be launching my new blog to the sounds of fireworks being launched around our neighborhood!  It's just after 11pm here, so things are settling down.  I, on the other hand, am just getting started.  I am so excited about showing you Stampin' Up! products, my little creations, tips & techniques, new ideas, and much more!  Please feel free to email me or leave comments anytime.  I can't wait to hear from you!

I want to show you a couple of things tonight, just to get us started.  The first is our new Decor Elements line of wall art.  These self-adhesive, vinyl images are perfect for making a quick and beautiful change to any room in your home.  I will post a photo of mine, once we get them on the wall this weekend.  Click here to view our new brochure on-line, and watch an instructional video from the Stampin' Up! Home Office.

The other thing I would like to mention tonight is my first Stampin' Up! fund-raiser.  I am holding a Kids' Stamp Camp on July 29th and July 30th to help a dear friend of mine and her teammates raise money for the Avon Walk for Cancer.  The Walk will be held in Charlotte, NC, this October.  I am truly honored to have this opportunity, and hope to raise a generous donation for them in memory of my Granny Elva and in honor of our Aunt Eloise.  Download my flier for more information here: Download stamp_out_cancer.pdf.

We will make several projects with the children at Stamp Camp.  One of the projects will be these cute little stationary sets.  I have one version for the boys and one for the girls.  I also have a few more surprise projects, and even cards they can make if we have enough time.     

Please contact me if you are interested in making a donation to Team Courage, or if you are local to the Fayetteville area and would like your child(ren) to attend this event.  At this time, we are holding the stamp camp for children ages 6 and up.  We plan to hold a Mom's Day Out event in the Fall, and are looking into a Mommy and Me Stamp Camp for children ages 5 and under.  I will post more info on these events as we progress in our planning. 

Well, the fireworks have ended and it is now pouring rain.  At least the rain waited patiently for everyone to have some fun tonight.   I hope you all had a great 4th of July and continue to have a fun, relaxed weekend.  Stop by often, as I will be updating this site frequently.  Thanks for visiting me!   

Happy Stampin'!
