Sunday School

to inspire your Spirit

As a Christian, I choose not to work on Sunday.  Although my blog is scheduled and I am not actually creating this post today; I still have a strong belief that we all need to take a break for the Sabbath Day.  Each week my Sunday post will change from inspiring your creativity, to inspiring your spirit.  I hope you enjoy the messages presented here each week.

Today’s Message is from:

  The Mormon Tabernacle Choir 

Singing; "I Need Thee Every Hour"

Come back tomorrow for more creative ideas . . . 

Stamp Of The Month

It’s a great time to join the Club!

Because a Brand NEW Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog was released in June!  It’s a great way to get the new goodies you won’t want to be without!

Stamp 0f the

Month is…

A subscription club you can join to add a fun new stamp to your collection every month.  But as a club member you will also receive a minimum of 4 different projects made with each month selected stamp set.  This includes FULL COLOR directions and the card stock and accessories* you need to complete each project!  You get all for just $30 a month (add $5 for shipping if you cannot come to class or pick up your project in a timely manner).

You can start with next month’s Club Selection shown below.  Just click the Paypal link to get started!

* does not include inks, embossing powders, misc. stamps that might be used but are not in the monthly selected stamp set (usually a sentiment).

 Here's a sneak peak of what's coming next month!

Templates Video

Save Money & Time!

Are you like me?  Do you get tired of cutting paper and card stock while creating only to change your mind about the size or shape?  

The answer is - Templates!  

I saw this idea at a scrapbook show last month.  The company was selling plastic templates that you could use to design, then trace & cut out the shapes.  I loved the idea, but who wants to cut stuff out these days?  Not me! Now I have the solution!

 I think you'll find that the time you invest in creating your templates will be worth the saved time, frustration, and lack of wasted paper & card stock.  Since I created mine my creativity is flowing faster, and I feel the freedom to take chances.  After all, if I don't like it I just grab a different template and try again!  

I hope you enjoy this idea!  See you tomorrow!

Why be a . . .

MemoryINKer?

With the new Stampin' Up! $99 demonstrator kit, why wouldn't you?  But if the prospect of getting YOUR CHOICE OF $125 IN CURRENT STAMPIN' UP! PRODUCTS (PLUS EXTRA's IN JUNE!!) still isn't enough. Here's a few more fun reasons to join my team.

The Team!  The girls who are a part of the MemoryINKers group are fun, friendly and love to share their ideas.   Here are few from our last MemoryINKers Group Gathering:

Here's just a few of the girls (I forgot to take photos... typical me)

You saw this cute sample by Lisa Ingle on my video last week!

I can't even begin to show you all of the fun ideas we shared.  However, we'd love to have you join us at our next gathering on July 21st at 5 PM.  Send me an email if you'd like to attend!  MemoryINKers@att.net

See you tomorrow when I will post another video!

Saturday Scrap

Is it a card, or a Scrapbook?

This is such a fun idea.  We created one similar for a Hostess Club project a few months ago...but at the last meeting with my team my downline member, Sue Pavlak, shared this fun idea with us. 

The Outside

Inside One

Inside Two

Inside Three

Inside Four

Isn't that a great gift idea?  It's a great Grad Gift, Grandma's Brag Book, etc.  It's made with a 12" piece of card stock, folded in quarters, slit on one of the folds (6" into center).  Attach it to a 6" x 12" 'card'.  Then just decorate it to suit your personality! 

I hope you come back tomorrow for a Spiritual Inspiration!

Fancy Pants Class

Do you like when things are over the top?

Than this class if for you! 

First let me show the card my hostesses made at their luncheon that was a nod to a Fancy Pants Class....then I'll show you what's coming up in the next class!

This card would be something that would be done at a Fancy Pants Class...but not necessarily the 'star' of the class.  I will make a video for this technique for next week...check it out on Wednesday! 

Below is a photo of a project that YOU CAN MAKE in the next class.

Along with the cool table decoration, you will make a variety of cards that are a little more advanced.  This class is NOT for a novice stamper.

You can sign up for the next Fancy Pants Class today!

More Hostess Samples!

Each card that the hostesses created at their luncheon showcased different classes that I teach.  This one is something that would be made in a Stack Attack Class.

It's pretty simple and quick.  The center image is stamped in Stazon ink and then colored using Watercolor Crayons and Blender Pens.    

At a Stack Attach class each guest would create 10 cards, 2 each of 5 designs, for just $15.  It's not too late to sign up for the next Stack Attack.  You have three class times to choose from:

Watch Me Wednesday

I know I promised more photos of the Hostess Lunch projects, but it's Watch Me Wednesday so it's video time!

Rubber Bands On Wheels!

This week I was inspired by one of the new demonstrators on my team.  She brought a project with rubber bands on a brayer,  a classic and cool technique, as a swap to our team meeting last Saturday (yes, after the Hostess Luncheon). From her design I came up with a twist on the idea.
I hope you like it!

Hostesses Rock!

Hostess Club

Held last Saturday 6/2/2012

As promised, here are a few photos from the lunch I served to my hostesses.  As usual, I got wrapped up in socializing and didn't take many photos...DUH!

We do have to squeeze in, but nobody seems to mind...or at least the laughter, chatting, and smiles seems to indicate as much.


I neglected to take any photos of the food, but we had Chicken Parmagiana with Penne and salad.  For dessert, Red Velvet cupcakes & 3 kinds of Cheese Cake  YUM!!


Check out the next few days for samples of the projects we made.

My Digital Monday

My Digital Monday

Don’t let you photos Crash forever on your computer!  Create stunning books with My Digital Studio…it’s easy!

This page is all about a trip to my Stampin' Up! leader's home in Pennsylvania.  A long weekend with 13 other demonstrators...we had a blast!  Shared a TON of ideas.  The inspiration flowed!!

I love that all I had to do was drag & drop these photos to created this fun page!  If it's easy, I get it done!!  Anybody out there like me?

Come back tomorrow for more creative ideas . . . 

Oops

Sorry I have been MIA for a few days, I have been over busy and am playing catch up.  It may take me a week or two to get back to everyday posts, but know that I am working on some samples to share and videos to post.


Thank you for your continued support.  I really appreciate it!


Hugs, Karie B
