You will also have the opportunity to purchase my retired stamp sets and retired accessories at a discounted price!!

I will also have a box of stamp sets where you will be able to choose one FREE stamp set with every $50.00 order from our new catalog.  This is on a First come First Serve basis.     

RSVP to me at jnrsjones@cox.net by June 30, 2010 so I am sure to have enough projects prepared for this event and FREE gifts.

Graduation Favors

These are some favors that I made for Sarah's graduation party.  The grad caps were made using a rolo candy and a 1 1/2 glorious green square with a brad and a piece of gold floss (her school colors).  The box is made with our #114890 Matchbox Bigz xl sizzix die.  I used a piece of Crushed curry polka dot ribbon as a belly band and then an old stamp set that had a grad cap in it and Curly label #119851 to punch it out.  I put 2 Hershey miniature candies inside wrapped in DSP with Thanks on it. 

I decorated some glass vases with her school colors in ribbon and used the owl from the graduate stamp set we have in the mini catalog.  I filled the vases with candy and had like a mini candy bar.  

This was also the table that had all the food on it and then dessert.   The kids loved the candy bar!!

Graduation Day for Sarah!!

 

Texas Tech here she comes!!!

I cannot believe my baby is all grown up and has graduated from High School!!!  She graduated with honors and will be attending Texas Tech in the Fall.  I am so PROUD of her!

Ribbon Shares Coming Soon!!

Hello Everyone!!  I am going to have several ribbon shares starting on the first of July.  

Stampin' Up! has such great ribbons to offer and I know that you would like to get your hands on all of them, BUT that is just alot of money to put out all at once.  So, here is your chance to get the ribbon without having to buy the whole spool. 

On July 1st I will post several ribbon shares that I will be offering.  Check back to see if the ribbon you want is on the share.  More details to follow.  

Tiki Hut

This is a little tiki hut that I cased from Creations by Patti.  You can find her blog http://www.creationsbypatti.blogspot.com/ .  She gives a great tutorial on her blog.  

Father's Day Card

This is a card that my friend, Lorrie Reid, made.  I cased it for my hostess club on Saturday.  Everyone really enjoyed making this card.  Thanks Lorrie for the idea. 

Here is another card I cased from Zindorf's blog here.
Of course I have not taken any of her classes and I don't do her techniques justice, but I enjoy trying.  ***Michelle Zindorf*** is coming to VA Beach Feb 12 & 13.  If you are interested in her class you should go to her website.  Classes fill quickly so sign up NOW!

Scrapbook Page

This was the scrapbook page that everyone made at the Hawaiian Luau Stamp Camp.  I gave them the material and they could make it anyway they wanted.  There were a few variations, but wouldn't you know...I did not take any pictures!!

Thanks Darnell for all your help with these projects!!!

Gifts for the Stamp Camp Attendees

I made these gifts for each of my stamp camp attendees.  I know I found the candy in the plastic bag from Monika Davis and the box was from Jane Giggy.  She was nice enough to send me her dimensions which I tweaked just a hair to make it work for what I needed. 

Here is what is inside the box.  I used this flower from an old Stampin' Up! stamp set called Do the Hula.  I stamped and then cut each one out twice.  Glued them to together and added crystal effect on top.  I put a a pin on the back so they can wear it.
