There's a party going on right here

No matter how many times I clean the kitchen, it still gets messy within hours! Sometimes you just need to run away and make something pretty that STAYS pretty, don't you?

Big Shot Quilting/Fabric Class

I'm in love.......with the Big Shot! Did you know that it can cut through 50 different types of materials in addition to paper and card stock? Like our wood sheets, vinyl (yes, Stampin' Up! sells large vinyl sheets in over 20 colors), foam, felt, foil, and of course FABRIC! I have had such fun exploring the world of fabric (and copying great ideas from other demonstrators) that I am holding a class to share it with you AND you will can go home with a beautiful fabric flower that you can wear, pin to a hat or coat or bag, use as an accent on a gift, put on a band for a little girl's hair, etc, etc....If you would like to make the flower, the cost is $3 or you can just come to watch and learn for no cost :) This is a sample of one of the flowers we made at our Winter Stamp Camp in Dixie, but we'll be using Spring Colors for the class:

 

You'll also see quilts and purses and much more! It's just a half-hour, but you'll love getting new creative ideas...and find out how you can get $85 of Stampin' Up! product FREE when you order a Big Shot and a few dies during Sale-a-Bration (through March 31).

Why Scrapbook?

"Memory is a way of holding on to the things you love,
the things you are,
the things you never want to lose."

Why do I scrapbook? When I was 12, my mom handed me a box of photos and memorabilia she had collected, and a small scrapbook of my baby years and said, "Here: I think you would enjoy making a scrapbook of your life." I think she was just overwhelmed with 5 kids and didn't need one more thing to do! But she was right. I have always loved paper, and this was a tactile way of preserving my memories.

My early scrapbooks were not the gorgeous pages you see in magazines now, and most of them only captured the who, what, where and when. Now I scrap for a different reason: to remember family values, to capture a feeling or to show my love for my family. I'm still not a Scrapbook Diva (although a few of my pages have been published in the past), but I am happy with what I can create and share. This brings me joy!

Your reasons for scrapbooking may be different than mine, but I hope you will enjoy the journey of finding a way to hold on to those memories that you don't want to lose. To help you in your efforts, I am holding a Scrap & Stamp Camp on May 9 and 2 Scrapbook Classes on May 21. Click on my calendar for more details and watch for sneek peeks coming soon!

Let's try the mantra, "Stamp it and they will come": Join me at my Spring Stamp Camp on Wednesday, April 8 from 7-10 p.m. at my home in Spanish Fork. You'll create this darling Spring Banner (left) with the Big Shot as well as cards and scrapbook pages celebrating Moms, Easter and that elusive season, Spring!

Love Stories Flip Album

This is the Flip Album we'll be making in St. George this weekend...it was super fun to create and now I just need some pictures to finish it off for Valentine's Day.
