Nov 30, 2008 | Christmas, rubber stamping
A swap sample for those who live in warmer climes…. (although I do note the snowman and fish are wearing scarves & hats….) Another blue card – night of navy and baja breeze are featured! The ticket corner punch is also used to give some extra interest.
This is another creation by Carmen from the demonstrator swap, featuring the Stampin' Up! stamp set Shellebrate. So cute!
Looks like I managed to meet the challenge of a post a day from early Nov til the end of the month – yay! However, I still have things to share with you all, so be sure to keep checking in. I think I've got the hang of this frequent blog posting idea….lol.

Nov 29, 2008 | Christmas, rubber stamping
This is a gift card holder that Donna made for the demonstrator swap. A loooot of layers here!! It features the Say it With Scallops stamp set and the Holiday Treasures Designer Series Papers. Stampin' Up! donates $2 to the Ronald McDonald Children's House Charity for every Say it With Scallops stamp set that is sold.
I apologize that this photo is out of focus (it's not your eyes nor your screen….) – but hopefully you still get the idea!! The gift card can be slid into that pocket, and there's still room to write a greeting or even adhere a photo! Donna has created the card based on the colours in the designer series paper – chocolate chip, old olive and ruby red. This is a wonderful way to present a gift card – the "wrapping" is as good as the gift inside!!

Nov 28, 2008 | scrapbooking
This is one of the recent scrapbooking club layouts that we did – featuring that glittery snowflake I showed you my experiment on earlier. I am still working on my photo skills, this one is skewed funny, but I couldn't seem to fix it with photoshop. (Not a photoshop issue, more like a user issue!! lol). Anyway….we used the Ski Slope Designer Series Paper – love this particular pattern in baja breeze. The letters are the outline alphabet, stamped in baja breeze.
On this particular paper, we were able to use three of the snowflakes like photo corners. Using the craft knife, we trimmed around a few of the portions of the snowflake and a 4.25" x 6.25" cardstock piece fit in perfectly. We also jazzed it up a bit by adding Dazzling Diamonds glitter with some Two Way Glue. Those who have attended classes or workshops with me will know I'm not big into fussy cutting, but sometimes it's worth the effort!!
A closer shot of the chipboard snowflake – coated with whisper white craft ink, then heat embossed with heat and stick powder and coated with more Dazzling Diamonds glitter. This photo still doesn't do it justice…
It was a very glittery evening!
