This tutorial will focus on the Simply Scored Diagonal plate. Did you know the Simply Scored Diagonal Plate makes it easy to create all these great projects?
• Quick and beautiful envelopes

I will be doing a fun class in the future that will show even more great ideas so stay tuned.
I'm going to be doing a fun class in June called "All Things Girlie". We are going to be doing a fun assortment of dress cards, making some purses using our new Big Shot die and making some fun container hats. I wanted to give you a little sample of what is in store. Stay tuned for more information and samples.
This hat container I believe was made by Barb Faulkner. Isn't it adorable.
This is going to be a great class. If you live in the Roscoe, IL area I hope you will join me for the fun. Can't wait to share these exciting projects with all of you.
I'm so excited about the stamp club project that we are going to do this month. I gave everyone a chance to vote on whether they wanted to do this project or not since there was going to have be a little bit higher supply fees. But it was overwhelming that everyone wanted to do it.
This fun project holds four cards in the middle has a magnetic section on the left and a corkboard on the right. It can hang from your wall and is such a handy project for staying organized. Plus it is a fabulous gift. You can join me at any of my club dates on Wednesday the 18th, and Thursday the 19th at 6:30 pm or Friday the 20th at 8:30 am.

Help me make a difference in our community. I'm on the board of the Mendelssohn Performing Arts Center (MPAC) which is a fabulous organization that offering performances and music education to our community. You can read more about the organization here. We are trying to raise $100,000 for an endowment fund to receive a matching gift. I've decided to share my passion for stamping to help raise the funds.
Please join me on November 19th in Roscoe, IL from 9:30 am to noon to make 2 each of the 5 Christmas cards pictured above for a total of 10 cards. To register you will make a $20 tax deductible gift to the MPAC and a $5 check to me to cover part of the supply fee. I've got lots of great items that will be raffled off as well, including restaurant gift certificates, magic water tickets, sand park pool passes, jewelry, golf passes and so much more. I'm still working on getting a few hotel packages. So there should be something for everyone. All donors will be recognized in our material that will be handed to all attendees so let me know if you have an item you would like to donate.

I'm sorry that it has taken me so long to get pictures posted of my upcoming gift giving class. On a side note we had a fabulous time in Boston. We had a wedding last weekend and stayed through Wednesday. It was so nice to get away and just relax.
If you live in the Roscoe/Rockford, IL area I would love to have you join me for my upcoming gift giving class.
Look what is inside the adorable box made with the Simply Scored tool. My friend Connie Stewart designed this project. She is so amazing and I'm thankful for all that she shares. This is a great gift because the recipient gets 4 cards and a variety of 8 sayings. When they need a card they can then choose the words that they need. Isn't that a brilliant idea.
Look what else we are making. In total you get the Christmas framed art or the 12 days of Christmas countdown. You get to choose which of these two projects that you want to make. I'll post the 12 days of Christmas tin shortly but I know many of you have seen it at my house. Then you will also make the cute Christmas stocking box, the fun easel card with or without a picture, the decorative plate and finally the fun box of cards. The cost of the class is $25 and you choose the day that works for you, Saturday, October 29th at 9:00 am or Thursday, November 3rd at 6:30 pm. Please RSVP with payment by Thursday, October 27th. To easily register you can use the paypal button below. Otherwise send me an e-mail or give me a call to register for this class.

Okay, I'm home from convention and trying to play catch up. I got so many great swap cards that I decided to pick some of my favorites for my upcoming quick card class on Wednesday, August 10th at 6:30 pm. You will make all 3 of the cards pictured below including envelopes for $10. If you place a $40 order when you attend the class is free. If you live in the Roscoe, IL area I would love for you to join me. Please RSVP by August 6th.
The Happy Birthday card on the left was designed by Lisa Lange, the card in the middle was desinged by Sheila van Uitert and the card on the right was designed by Jodi LeVesseur. I just realized that you can't see the card on the right very well because the base is Crumb Cake and the color fades in with the table. Well, trust me it is cute in person. Contact me now if you would like to reserve a seat for this quick class.
Tomorrow I'm posting a pick of my August class that is so adorable and then I'll start posting highlights from convention. Every year I think that convention can't get any better and every year I'm surprised at what Stampin' Up! does. It is definitely a highlight of my year.
