Organized Christmas

Holiday Place Settings by Shelli

"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery."

Many of you have heard me say that I don't like wasting brain cells (the few I have left after childbirth are very precious to me). One thing I want to stress is that I COPY BEAUTIFULLY! I love getting great ideas from other people and sharing them with you. Sometimes my friends discover my inspiration from other sources, but I'm here to share my sources first-hand!

This holiday place setting idea was shared on our local Utah channel 5 by Stampin' Up! CEO Shelli Gardner and if you attend one of my workshops next month, you may even get to make one of these fun items. One simple idea can be carried through any holiday or special occasion...what's not to love about versatility? To see the video, click here.

CLASS: ME Album

We scrapbook about children, vacations, holidays and milestones...but how often are YOU actually in the picture? It's time to allow yourself to take center stage!

At this special class on Saturday, November 8, 2008 (1 p.m.) you will finish an 8x8 album and 16 pages that describe who you are today and what you cherish in life. Cost is $55 and registration must be paid by November 3rd.

**This is one of 4 classes offered over the next few months where you can complete an entire album: Me, You, Us and Them. You may choose to complete one, two or all four! Complete 2 classes~receive a discount on 2nd class!

Season of Thanks

At convention in July, Stampin' Up! unveiled Phase II of the Decor Elements line~and since Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, I had to create this shadowbox for the season! It took me about 10 minutes to create :)
