Posted on April 8, 2008April 8, 2008 by Josee

I know I’ve told you before how much I LOVE Pun Fun!!! It’s such a versatile, cute set. I’ve had this idea for a card set for weeks now and finally made the time to make them!!! Wow! It feels good to get back to stamping. I’ve unfortunetely haven’t found much time to stamp lately- so I enjoyed making these.

My goal for these cards was to use only products from a Beginner Stamping Kit I put together! I got the original idea when I went to the London Stampede, hosted by Carole Moore-one of my awesome downline, a couple of years ago. The card design was using a different stamp set but was demonstrated by Rhonda Wade a top demonstrator from the US. I’ve loved this card design ever since and it came back to me when I saw Pun Fun!!! Hope you like them!

All the cards are cut exactly the same!!! How much easier can you get?
Dimensions:
Black Cardstock: 5 ½ x 4 ¼ and 2 ½ x 2 ½
White Cardstock: 5 ¼ x 8 and 2 ¼ x 2 ¼

March Club Project #2

Posted on March 27, 2008 by Josee

I know I’m so behind in posting these in a timely fashion…this month has been a bit crazy. There seems to be someone sick or a snow day or March Break or an event to get ready for….why can’t we have more hours in a day?! This week I’m getting ready for the Capital Parent Show at the Nepean Sportsplex. You can read my previous post for a special coupon from me if you attend. Many other demonstrators are getting ready this week for the Stampin’ Up! Bermuda Cruise, but, sadly I’m unable to go. Boooooohoooo. I did earn it, but, couldn’t find a babysitter who would watch my 3 kids-so, instead I’ll take the money entitlement. I am sad though…it’s always so much fun to catch up with friends and enjoy the swapping, relaxation and to visit new places I’ve never been.

I am happy to say though that 4 ladies from my group will be attending the Stampin’ Up! Bermuda Cruise. Congrats to Marlayne Hardy, Kay Smith, Nancy Gauthier and Maryse Morneau who each earned the cruise for 2 from Stampin’ Up!!! I know they’ll all have such a great time-I can’t wait to hear all about it when they return!

For today’s share– you’ll find below some of my favourite Family Frames that some of my club members created this month! We used the All in the Family stamp set-if you don’t have this set…you really need it- it’s adorable!!!! All the ladies created wonderful ones, but, I couldn’t post 26 of them-so, I picked out the most unique ones to show you!

Aren’t they great?!
Hope you get some Rubber Stamping done today!!! Have a great day!
Josee– who’s looking forward to when Ottawa finally gets Spring weather!!!
