1st Class Creativity

Christmas Version of Gift Idea from post 9/27/09

I used paper from the Simply Scrappin Kit Christmas Jingle for this project.

This is so easy to do!  I did this in literally seconds with my Big Shot!  Within 10 minutes I was done and that was including which brads I wanted for the drawer pulls!   Easy Peasy!  I love all the designs so I decided instead of just using one paper design to use  different sheets 3 different designs (double sided paper), so you can see the opportunities are endless in how you could configure your project!

Here is what it looks like from the side

Here is what it looks like with the drawers open!   This is so cool cause it's a gift that is already wrapped with goodies tucked inside!  You could put jewlery, chocolate, or other small gift goodies inside!

My 12 weeks to Christmas Project Idea went out today!   If you didn't receive it you will want to sign up so you get the next 11 weeks!  Every week, begining Wednesday September 30th I will be sending out a Christmas Project to all my mailing list subscribers with pictures and detailed instructions for FREE!   You will not see these projects anywhere else and are exclusive to mailing list subscribers only!  You will also get my bi-monthly Newsletter which includes:

PUMP IT UP AUBURN HILLS SCRAPBOOKING CLASS FUN!

Look at how much fun we had at the Pump It Up Auburn Hills Michigan Scrapbooking Class!   It's the perfect way to scrapbook while your kids play! 

Jeanette "I don't know why more people don't take advantage of this!  This is AWESOME!" Jennifer agrees!

When moms were done the kids got to play with the New Build a Bear line!   Look at the cute bears they got!

Jeanette went to Germany for a month over the Summer to visit her Mother and Father with the kids and hubby so I surprised her with a 2 page layout for her to commemorate her Trip and Cherish the memories of her kids with Oma (Grandmother) and Opa (Grandfather).

Being a Single Mom has it's challenges, but it's the beginning of Fall, a new beginning!

With my hubby working out of state most the week I end up being a single mom all week long.   This involves countless hours transporting my darlins to their sporting practices and school events, coordinating chore schedules, paying bills, clearning house (Yuck I'd rather be stamping!) and more, thus, the reason  I haven't posted in a bit.  So I'm back on track and wanted to remind you all that TODAY is the 1ST DAY OF FALL!   

Hard to believe it's the 1st Day of Fall Already!   So I decided to share with you a card that I created with the Stampin' Up! Water Color Crayons and the Autum Designer Series  paper from the Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalog.

  This is from the Lexion of Leaves Stamp Set!   Fun and EASY card to create!

Life is going to the BEARS!

The Build A Bear line is PERFECT for the Young and Young at Heart!  It's amazing as you dress these bears you feel young again, it's like an instant time machine that reverts you back, just for a little while, the days when you were 10 years old, playing with paper dolls....well at least when I was ten!  (Don't want to show my age :) )

This picture I'm going to share with you is an example of a birthday kit that was put together from the Stampin' Up! Corporate Office Staff.  I think it is just adorable and will be copying this to share with all of you.

 

Now how CUTE is that for a little girls party?!

Next I'm going to share a copy of a picture I took at the Regionals this past weekend, again created by Stampin' Up! Corporate office, and I can't wait to copy this either and build on it!  What great inspiration!   I just love being a Stampin' Up! Demosntrator!

Isn't this cute for a boys party?!
