Drumline Competition

Our drumlines did FABULOUS on Saturday as they competed in Plano, Texas.  I couldn’t resist showing you photos of the kids at their first competition of the year.

This is the High School Drumline.  Allyson and Lindsey play the percussion instruments on the left side of the photo.  They switch places alot, playing many different instruments in [...]

Brag Book with Clear Envelopes

This is one of the projects we made at our Club Classes this week.  If you’d like to view the tutorial on Split Coast Stampers, you can click here.   This was such a simple project — I feel sure we will all be making these for grandparents and friends!  The “page protectors” are really clear [...]

Happy Fall, Y’all

The air is starting to feel a little crisp here in Texas, and the temperatures are not getting quite as hot…….so let’s celebrate fall with one more Genie Bag.  We made this at my club class last night and club #2 will make it on Thursday night.  I hope you enjoy the Paper Piecing Pumpkins [...]

A few more Genie Bags

Just a quick post this morning……..I wanted you to see a couple more Genie Bag ideas from last year.  I don’t have the new Holiday Designer Series Papers — this is Christmas paper from last year.   This little Santa is retired, too, but you could use any of our holiday images to fill the spot.  [...]

Genie Bags for Christmas

These are 2 of the projects I made for my class this afternoon.  These are called “Genie Bags” and they are one of the simplest 3-D projects you will ever make.  You might remember another post here with a genie bag.  There is a small paper sack in between the two pieces of cardstock.  I [...]

My New Planner

Hello ladies!  I haven’t had much time to stamp lately, but I have worked on this new planner of mine.  I saw this in a scrapbooking magazine and really liked the idea.  I loved the idea of combining my scrapbooking, my Stampin’ Up! business, and my planner all in one product.  This will hopefully help [...]

Then and Now

Hello friends!  I am sorry to say that I don’t have any stampin’ projects for you today.  I worked a tiny bit yesterday on my upcoming club classes, but I don’t want to spoil those surprises for you!  Charles flew out of town yesterday morning.  He is in New Jersey on business.   I am also [...]

DVD Tin for Sarah

Hello friends!  Sarah had been wanting a new tin for a few months now.  Her old one was showing alot of wear and tear…….so she talked mommy into helping her make a new one this weekend.  I gave her all of the new DSP to choose from, and she chose Georgia Peach.  She loves pink, [...]

Simple Saturday!

Well………we are in Central Texas, skies are dark, wind is fierce, and rain is starting.  I don’t know how bad it might get, but I am thinking we will just get additional rain at this point.  We are blessed!  My friends in Houston are still hiding out in closets and have no power.  We are [...]
