My Daughter's School Photos

This is what you do with that box of school photos you have in the closet!
My baby girl is graduating from HS next week. I have been working on an 8" x 8" scrapbook for her using 5 x 7 school photos. I actually did these pages quite some time ago but just finished the entire book Monday. These pages are on the right hand side of her book; on the left is a list of historical information about that year; Song of the year, Hottest toy at Christmas, Top Box Office movie and a few events that took place. I made one of these for son #2 but never got it completely finished. This time I finished in time for graduation.
Most of the product is Stampin' Up! with a few exceptions.

Card Organizer


This is a handy tool to have to keep track of all those birthdays, anniversaries etc. You simply write down the upcoming events on the calendar and then place the cards you have made to send or give in the pockets. I think I will even add a list of addresses and place a book of stamps in the back pocket. If I was really organized I could address the envelope when I place it in the pocket (or not-perhaps that is a wee bit tooo organized).
After I took these photos I replaced the ribbon on the sides with metal book rings because I was afraid the ribbon would come untied. If I owned a bind-it-all that would probably make it even sturdier. I am having a class on Sat. June 19 and you can make one yourself for only $12 ($11 if you prepay.) Colors & DSP will vary.

Stamps: Boho Backgrounds, Define Your Life
Paper & Ink: Chocolate Chip, Kiwi Kiss

The directions for this came from Jacqueline Cameron and were posted on the SU demo web site.

Bermuda Bay Debossing

Don't you just love these colors together? Soft Suede and Bermuda Bay! The main panel was made by embossing a piece of Whisper White with the Big Shot and the Finial Press embossing folder and then brayering Bermuda Bay ink on the debossed side. I then sprayed the panel with some Shimmer Mist (made with rubbing alcohol and Shimmer Paint). The flower is a stamp from the Vintage Vogue stamp set. I stamped it with Versamark and heat embossed it with Iridescent Ice. The center of the flower is a Pop-Up glue dot covered with SU Champagne glitter. Off to Kohl's for some last minute shopping for my DD and prom!

It's a Color Renovation!!!


Exciting news from Stampin' Up! Stampin' Up! announced today that there will be a Color Renovation at Stampin' Up!
Starting in July, we will have 4 collections of colors: Brights, Regals, Neutrals, and Subtles, plus 10 in colors! Don't panic--25 colors will carryover, 10 are returning in colors, and 5 are brand new core colors. Here's a pic:
I love the new colors: Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake (the old Kraft), Daffodil Delight, Cajun Craze, Early Espresso, and Marina Mist!

Each year 5 new in colors will be introduced and will hang out for 2 years! This keeps us relevant and fresh.
