I felt a little emotional today. Partly because things are "ending" here in Colorado Springs. I held my last club today. I called them the Pink Flamingo's. Each of my clubs have always had a name either by an Ink color or DSP. It had to be catchy and something I could remember. My club members are like my family members. I've gotten to know them and they have gotten to know me and my family. I've loved how some of these ladies did not know each other in the beginning but learned to love each other and became friends throughout their club. Many of them will continue to stamp together after I leave. THIS is what I love about stamping. It's something that can be done with a group of friends and we can share what we love together. Great feelings. Now the Pink Flamingo's will fly on their own. Thank you to all my club members for all your support and bringing many happy, funny memories to my home. I think my SCRAP club will go down in the history books for the FUNNIEST things that happened here. ROFL! Hmmmm…..
Okay, time to focus! I want to share with you a project we did at the club. This is super EASY and fun. It was inspired from one of my Scrapbook magazines.
To make this I cut a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock at 9 x 4. Score the cardstock at 3 and 6". I used the Storybook DSP for the bottom of the accordion book. ***Note, the front piece was snailed on. The other two pieces I created pockets to fit the tea bag or a gift card using sticky strip.***I love this DSP and I think it's missed quite honestly because you have to touch it… It's a great designer paper to make boxes with because of the thickness. The butterfly was die cut using the Sizzix Beautiful Butterflies Die Cut. This is a Stampin' Up! exclusive… you gotta have it. It's yummy! I stamped it using the Elements of Style stamp set and Whisper White craft ink. Then I embossed with White EP. The cardstock I used for the butterfly was Crushed Curry. Sniff… I am going to miss that color. The FUN, FUN, FUN sentiments are from the stamp set Favorite Thoughts. Another super set. The scalloped Melon Mambo cardstock is stamped using the fun Punched Posies stamp set. I love love this set. I know, it's a Level 2 hostess set but it's stinkin' CUTE!! I let the ink dry a bit and then sponged lightly around the edges with Chocolate Chip ink. The butterfly was sponged first with Rich Razzleberry ink and then again with Chocolate Chip.
I hope you like this one. I have two more projects to share still. 🙂
Have a GREAT week. It's my kids last week in school. I have to make the most of this week. Lots to clean out. I'm counting down the days until my sweetheart is home. Yippie Skippy! ***5 days***
Oh, have to ask…. Do any of you watch the show Glee? I am sickly hooked. I had to download the song Poker Face (Gaga's song) that they sang. I just have it on repeat and haven't gotten sick of it yet. Silly, I know! At least you know what I'm doing. Bwhhhahhha!
