My Laptop Went to Laptop Heaven

Well I have to say, "I will NEVER buy a D--L again!"  This is the second time my hard drive has crashed on me in less than 18 months of having it!!!!


So for the next week and a half my posts, sadly (boo hoo), will be limited.  Having said that, it will leave me more time to do projects with tutorials, video tutorials and plan changes for my website.

You will still be able to register for classes, join my team, book workshops and sign up for my e-newsletter during this down time on my blog, that way you don't miss out!!!

Therefore I am asking you to be patient during this time and look forward to an exciting April!  Thanks :)

Scrapbook Challenge 4 Entry

For this week's entry I asked all the Sudsol Members to do a 2 page layout, so here is my entry.  Enjoy...

PS. I apologize for the quality of the picture, my camera battery died, and I had to use my cell phone.  See you tomorrow!

Rag Purses are the NEW Trend

Well if you have been following the fashion trends as of late then you would be noticing that the rag purse is one of the coolest trends for today's fashion.

How would you like to make one, or two, or three for a fraction of the cost of what you would pay for at the store.  Here is what mine looks like...

The edge is straight in the last picture, it's just where the scallop is leaning makes it look uneven.  Speaking of scallops, other than a sewing machine guess what I used?  The clear bigz scallop die from Stampin' Up!

Feeling a little Red today?

Had a little too much green yesterday and feeling a little red (flushed today)?  Well here are a couple of swaps with the red theme to help you through the night LOL!!!  These swaps are from the Calgary Regionals I attended a week and a half ago.

See you tomorrow....

Happy St. Patrick's Day

The luck o' the Irish to ya!

All things being green, here are some cards using the green theme (also these are some of my favorite swaps from regionals!)

A Few Days Off

Hi Ladies,

I took a few days off after the BSCG blog a day contest but I am back--fear not!  I also came back with a couple of photos of my latest project...

As I am the Sudsol Scrapbook Challenge Coordinator (if your demo and have not tried it yet, you really should.  Click on my link below to try it out for a couple of weeks free.  It's worth EVERY penny) and I needed to inspire some fellow demos with a 12 by 12.  So this is what I came up with and I really like it.  I hope you do too.  I didn't get a chance to do a tutorial for it but it will be up later this week.  Keep checking every day as it will be up soon.

Take care!

A friend I made from Saskatchewan....

These two projects were showcased by Shelli herself.  Tomorrow I will show off the projects we made,  it was such fun.

Calgary Regionals

Oh my goodness what fun I had.  You would have been able to come too if you were on my team.  Join Now!  I was quite surprised when Shelli Gardner showed up, that would be the CEO and co-founder of Stampin' Up!  Here are some pictures...

A couple of new friends that I made...then of course me (working hard?)....

Then of course some examples for us to get inspired, this was done by Shelli herself...

And I will save the best for last, this was really the best moment of the day...

Woo Hoo me and Shelli, what an exciting day that was.  Stay tuned, I will have more pictures tomorrow!

And The Winner Is

And the Academy Award for 'Best Supporting Tool' goes too...




Drum roll please...

The Stamp-a-ma-jig

Thank you to all of you who took the time to vote, that was a lot of fun!

What I like most about workshops!

A question was posed to me earlier this week and it was 'What do I like most about Workshops?'

My answer to that is this being able to show people the projects that I am most proud of and being able to show them how to do it!

For example, this project:

Hopefully it is something they have never seen before and when I do show my customers the projects I enjoy seeing their eyes light up and anxiousness to get started on making them.  Of course I like making new friends that I would be able to share life experiences and coffee with.

I like to be able to show them all the cool new things that Stampin' Up! has to offer, give them ideas for new uses for the products they already do have and different ways of using them outside of the paper crafting field.  It really is quite amazing what you can do with it all.

Another joy I have is being able to treat my hostesses with a special gathering near the end of the year to show my appreciation for all that they do!  Gifts, wine and dinner, how fun is that!

I'm now booking workshops for April, May and June. Spring workshops are a lot of fun because it gives friends a chance to get together after a long, cold winter.

If you'd like to do a Spring workshop with me, please feel free to call me 780-476-1430 or email me at teresa@thescrappinmama.com.

As Promised

As I promised you yesterday, here is the link to get the free tutorial on the 'Punch Art Flower.'  Don't forget to vote for 'Best Supporting Tool' before you leave!
