Four cards and Two Treats!  Come join the fun Friday, October 7th!

Here are a few more cards from my Sept. team meeting.  Can you tell what the theme was?

I was able to go to my up-line Jan's meeting about a week ago and make some great cards.  Here are a few to check out.

Here's a good peek at the three very different cards we'll be making this month using just one stamp set, Pennant Parade.  Love when you get a bunch of uses out of one set!  Come join us on 9/16.

So here is the final "candy cake" card from last stamp camp.  The middle three pieces are chocolates!  This was one of the ideas from convention.  Isn't adorable?  I used the new Cheerful Treat designer paper to wrap the "cake" and Concord Crush with the Large Oval and Lace punches for the stand.  The Triple Blossom Punch made the pink flower AND candle flames. The new Ruffled Ribbon in Wisteria makes fun accents!  Now that's a special birthday card!

I'm waiting for one last thing that is coming in my next order to finish my candy cake card to show you as a sample for my August Stamp Camp, but if you're on my email list you already have the idea.  Mine just isn't as "pink".  But I can show you this adorable idea I got from Heather Klump for the cuckoo clock in Easy Events stamp set.  I love it!  And don't worry - I have another version that's just as cute for those who don't want to cut out the clock.  : )  Stamp Camp is on 8/26, RSVP by 21st.

Thank you to everyone that came out to my Open House!  If you couldn't make it, here is a little hint at what you missed:
1)  Along with all the other swaps I had out on display, here is the one I made for a "Shoebox Swap" I participated in.  I used 2 new In Colors, Pool Party & Wisteria Wonder, and the new Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch.

2)  Everyone got a Chocolate Purse Favor.  Aren't these cute?  So easy, too.  Here's how to make them:   One piece of designer paper 1 1/4 X 4 1/2" layered on top of one piece of designer paper 1 1/2 X 4 1/2".  Score at 1 3/16, 2 3/16, 3 1/2, 3 3/4".  Fold score lines and place a chocolate nugget in the one inch section. Glue ends of a piece of ribbon about 4 1/2" long in the smallest section and glue down front flap.  Add a punched flower to the front and you're done!

3)  Quick Make N Take using Summer Mini stamp, Sail Away.  Love this image, don't want to see it go when the Summer Mini ends!  Can you guess how we kept the sails so white?

If you missed out on the fun, or simply want to have more, schedule a party with me and earn free products too!  The new hostess plan is awesome!!

Next Stamp Camp is Friday, August 26th.  Check back for samples on what we'll be making.

Here are a few more pics from convention.  The chalkboard stand and clips is a room mate gift from Monica - I still have to take pics of my other gifts to share.  Then it's me and Cindy at a Shoebox swap where we made 24 cards and then picked up 25 already made for us.  Very nice cards!  I literally arrived at the hotel, met my room mates, put my stuff down and then headed out for this.  So tired after this, but totally worth it!

On Wed. night I joined my roomies for another meeting and made some really cool projects like the stand up scrapbook (spread out here) and a digital hybrid page designed by Cindy.  (Look at the difference in just a few changes in the second one!)

Swapping and sharing continued through the entire time - here's us in the room with a few more friends sharing ideas.  Thanks Michele - didn't even know you took this one!

Wow - I was able to attend Stampin' Up!'s Convention in Salt Lake City this year and had a blast!  I was a little nervous to fly out there by myself, but I am so glad I did.  I roomed with 3 great girls that I met online through our demo-only "Stampin' Connection" and it worked out beautifully.  Here's the four of us at the home office right before our tour.

This was one of my favorite mini's ever!  I'm really hoping my favorites make it into the next catalog.  Did you get everything you wanted?  If not, don't miss out!  Below is a quilt looking card using the Springtime Vintage DSP - I love it!  I don't sew, but I can paper quilt.  : )  One inch squares of different patterns put together on my Top Note die cut then run through my trusty Big Shot with the Square Lattice embossing folder - easy!

From NOW until Monday, April 18th you can get a Tax Rebate from me when you order through my Stampin' Up! website (http://www.dbstamps.stampinup.net/)
I will send you a check (or cash, if local) in the amount of the tax you paid on your order.
Happy Shopping! and don't forget to check out the Clearance Rack - some fabulous deals on there!
Dawn

These are samples I made for my upcoming Stamp Camp.  I love this bunny!  The Nature Walk cards are simple but stunning and the Cross cards are going to come in handy for a First Communion, Easter,or Sympathy.  Come join me 4/16 and make a set of your own!

Hello and Happy Spring!  So glad to say goodbye to winter and looking forward to warmer temps!  With that on my mind I came up with this card for my swap for my Remarkable Stamp meeting this past Saturday.  I used the fabulous Lattice die as well as lots of punches like the Bird punch, Dotted Ribbon Scallop punch and the Boho blossoms punch for the flowers.  Can you guess what stamp I used for the foliage behind the lattice?

We had a great time and I got tons of inspiration for classes and projects.  I hope you'll join me for a class or better yet - set one up of your own and reap the hostess benefits!  And don't forget, Sale A Bration is ending soon - March 31st!  Don't miss out on getting your FREE stamps, paper and accessories!!
