I know that you are dying to use that designer series paper that you got for FREE during Sale-A-Bration ~ Everyday Enchantment ~ it is so pretty! Here is a little FLIP BOOK that I made at several of my parties in March, everyone thought it was lots of fun. It would be a great album for recipe cards, a scrapbook for someone special or even a little 'smash' book! And, it would look great in any of Stampin' Up!'s fabulous double sided 12" x 12" designer series papers!
Supplies: Designer Series Paper; Crop-A-Dile (#108362, page 207 IB&C); Paper Cutter (#104152 w cutting and scoring blades (#104154, page 208 IB&C); Ribbon of your choice; Accessory of your choice (mine is a retired piece from Stampin' Up!'s Hodgepodge Hardware) ~ you could use pretty Antique Brads to hold your card stock to the ribbon. I used 2 binder rings to hold the DSP together.
Cut your paper six inches wide by 12", 11", 10", 9", 8" and 7". Score in the center of the length of paper and fold. Layer the pieces according to the size with the smallest (7" folded) on top. I added a 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" piece of the cardboard from the bottom of the Designer Series Paper to the inside of the largest (12") folded layer for strength.
Punch two holes in the top (the non-fold side) approximately 1" from each side and 1/2" down using the Crop-A-Dile (punch all layers at the same time). Before you add the binder rings decorate your top layer and your album is finished. Enjoy!
Stampin' Success is a monthly magazine sent to all Stampin' Up! Demonstrators. It includes projects with new and old products, contests,scrapbook ideas ~ traditional and digital, Q & A, business ideas and a list of monthly promotions. None of us would want to be without it!
In the March issue there is an article entitled ACRYLIC DISTRESS, this is a picture of the magazine article and several different colored samples that I made....
The technique includes using embossing folders and the Big Shot. A thin coat of acrylic paint (any color) is applied to card stock and, when it is dry, placed in a textured impressions embossing folder and run through the Big Shot. Next, you sand the embossed image using sanding blocks to create a weathered distressed look.
You can also sponge ink over the top after sanding using a Sponge Dauber. This is the card I created using this technique.
I was going to post some of the cards from my Vintage Class but I found this fabulous album on Shelli Gardner's blog this morning and knew I had to share it with you. All the pages are made using the Fresh Vintage stamp set, #125117 (c) #125115 (w), in the Sale-a-bration catalog ~ which means this lovely stamp set is FREE. The pages also use the gorgeous Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper, #126154, in the same catalog and FREE with a $50 product purchase from any of Stampin' Up!'s catalogs. Enjoy!
I think this is my favorite ~ I love Poppy Parade!
Don't you love these layouts? And the colors? Inspiration!!!!
My sister, Judy, celebrated her birthday on Sunday the 22nd. I packed up her presents and made this birthday 'card' (mini scrapbook) for her before I left for San Antonio. I did it all in black and white because I had found some really old pictures in a box that Mom gave me. I liked the way it turned out ~ and so did Judy!
I used Stampin' Up!'s new FRAMELIT LABELS COLLECTION (#125598 OMC), Twitterpated Designer Series Paper (#125406 OMC) and the stamp sets ~ Word Play and Happiest Birthday Wishes!
I had the most fun last night! I did a CHRISTMAS ALBUM CLASS for three new friends ~ Kim, Vania and Eleise (yes, I have to look at that spelling every time I write it!). Kim bid on a GIFT CERTIFICATE that I donated to the GIRL SCOUTS for a fund raiser last fall and she was collecting. The Gift Certificate said 'Stampin' Up! Class for Four ~ FREE!' and we had great fun making our albums. Here are the three ladies and the albums that they made (Kim's fourth guest couldn't make it, darn.) Each one made the album and then decorated the outside with a LOLLIE! All of them were different but oh so cute!
If you are interested in this little album for yourself or to give as a gift for Christmas or as a table decoration/gift for Thanksgiving I will be teaching the class again soon. Here is a picture of my REMEMBER WHEN ALBUM and the information on the class ~

These scrapbook pages are from my trip to Utah ~ a showcase from Stampin' Up!'s manufacturing plant in Utah (yes, they do manufacture all of their own stamp sets ~ except the wheels!). They have a fabulous showcase ~ more tomorrow.
If you would like to spend a weekend scrapbooking may I recommend my friends, Susan and Ashley. They have a weekend planned for you in early November (the registration dates have been extended) and you can find out more about it here!
I thought you might like to see pictures from the Simply Scrappin' Scrapbook Class last night! We made 8 pages, 4 double layouts with Stampin' Up!'s Playful Polka Dots Kit (#122346) and they all turned out fabulous! I loved the class as I could prepare ahead of time and then just party with everyone the rest of the night. Thanks so much for coming everyone ~ i see another Simply Scrappin' Class in the future...
Lynda and Daphne working hard!
Holly, Rosie and Kim with several completed pages.
Gloria and Daphne and their big smiles ~ too cute!
