Bunco Update

Last night 12 of us had a great time with Stampin' Bunco! We had great snacks! Great prizes and Great FUN! Congratulations to the winners of the certificates. Remember that I will be turning in the order for the prizes. Thanks to all for coming and making it a wonderful time! (I will be posting the photos on my website)

This weekend I am vendoring at a crop being held on the Air Force Base. Well I am going to keep today short as my mother in law heads back to california in the morning. It has been a good visit and we will miss her. I would also like to have everyone keep one of my friends in their thoughts and prayers (Sharon) as her mother passed away yesterday.

Hugs to all

Decor Elements Idea

Hello! The womens fair was great! Met some wonderful people there. I have done my doorprize drawing and I will be calling all of the winners. I thought I would take a minute and post a really cool idea. I put the letters on the top of the glass so that I could take the scrapbook paper and change it out as i found new designs that i like. I am all about versitility. More photos to come the rest of the week from the items in the booth!

Have a wonderful time. Be sure to check out my class schedule on my website. www.julieward.stampinup.net I have posted the info regarding the bunco night and more!!!

Stampingly,

Hello Everyone!

It was a great day at the womens fair today! I really enjoyed visiting with you and seeing my old friends and meeting some that are new! The make n takes were great! I think so far we have done around 300 of them. I will post the photos of the booth and the stuff monday night (I have the fair tomorrow from 10 to 5 then I am going to watch the DH play dodgeball) and then it will be home to catch up on some zzzzz's before I head to the real job on monday. :) . If you didnt get to come out today you may want to come out lots of free goodies. Great booths this year. I will say after doing this fair for 10 years now I have figured out how to not bring the whole stamp room! LOL... Too funny.

I would also like to take a second to Thank my dear friends for giving up their weekend to spend with me helping me with the booth and the prep time getting ready. I love you all you are the GREATEST!!! Jennifer, Keri and Michelle!

Well, off to get some sleep and a few minutes of kitty therapy (dakota time).

Stampingly,
Julie aka "Stampette"

Color Inspiration

Here is a site that has color inspiration weekly posted from someone that just takes photos while out shopping. I decided to take the challenge and here is the card that I came up with. I think it is cute. I borrowed the stamp set One of a Kind from my dear friend Jennifer R (its broke in now!) I am going to have to put this on my wish list. Next months class project is made with this stamp also. i will get a sample of that posted on my website as soon as I purchase a frame for it tomorrow.

Well, back to stamping! Toodles

Cute Card!

I was just working around in the stamp loft getting stuff ready for the womens fair and this blog I was on has a challenge every week for a card. So I took a whirl at it and this is what I came up with! I thought it turned out nice. I would love to post some of your cards too. Would you like to be a "Blogstar"

Ok, I will have to find the link to the site that had the card challenge. But when I do I will post it. I guess I didnt save it in favorites.

Ok, off to bed. It's now 12:23 and I have to work in the morning! Toodles

Technique Tuesday ... Mosaic Frame

Mosaic Tiles

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

Finished!

1.What you will need is designer series paper strips (approx 1/2" wide) just use your scraps. I used Tombow glue and Copper embossing powder. I just cut strips of the paper into little random shapes in a pile and applied glue to the mat of the frame in small sections (2) and started piecing the paper all over. I would then apply the embossing powder and heat emboss a section (3)(about a 6 inch section at a time). Then there you go. A cute and unique matting or background for a frame. (This is actually a gift for a close friend of mine. Hope she doesnt read this before I get her gift to her). :)

Have a stamptabulous day! Try the technique. You will like it!

Makeover Monday

HELLO EVERYONE!

Well today I am starting the new programs. This is Makeover Monday. This is where either I find a card or scrapbook page and give it an SU makeover. (if you find one that you would like to see madeover send me a link and I will give it a shot).

Today I picked a simple monochromatic card using the priceless set. Here are the supplies I used.

Cardstock:

Old Olive

Very Vanilla

Basic Black

Ink - Old Olive

Accessories: Silver Brad & Stampin' Dimentional

I decided to add the flower to add a little pop to the card. This card can easily be converted by sliding the focal point to the left or wrapping a ribbon above the sentiment. Easy to do easy to copy. Make one of your own and send it to me. I would love to see your version.

Hope that you had a great monday!

The first card is the Card I found in Papercrafts Remodeled. The second card is the remodeled card made with all SU supplies (all images copyrighted by Stampin' Up!)

Happy New Year!

Wow, I cannot believe that it is already 2009. Time to ring in the new year. I will tell you that I had a great time last night at a Murder Mystery night. We all dressed up in old western type wear and had parts to act out. You had to act your part, dress your part and figure out whom was murdered at the "Deadwood Saloon". It really was cool. Great performances and costumes. I will try to get some uploaded online so that you can see the fun.

Today I went to Topeka and tomorrow I am going to get some stamping in and finish my newsletter that is going out to my stamp group. Not sure what the rest of the weekend will bring but hopefully a lot of stamping as I am in the mood to get some done!

Have a great 2009 hope to see and hear from you all soon!
