12 Weeks of Christmas -- Week 6

Happy Saturday Everyone!

I know I'm a WAYYY late with this, but here is the 12 Weeks of Christmas--Week 6 post! It's another very cute Christmas Ornament. I also used Stampin' Up! Word Flurries Rub-os again. And used a plain glass ornament that I bougth at Michaels. This time I cut a bunch of 2 inch gold ribbon strips and put those inside. And if you look closely there are gold sequents/confetti-like stars inside, too!  All ribbon was bought at Michaels. What do you think?!



Keep an eye out for some more 12 Weeks of Christmas posts!

Friends Rock -- Birthday Party

So this past weekend I went to my cousin Sarah's MYO (Make-Your-Own) Sleepover.  She invited me so I decided that I would demonstrate a fun and girly 8x10 page using Stampin' Up's set Friends Rock. I didn't know what to expect with 5-eight and nine year olds, but we sure did have a blast! And I was soooo surprised to hear that a couple of the girls' mom's used Stampin' Up! Products! (And don't worry, I sent those girls home with the lovely 2009 Holiday Mini Catalog :))  Anyway, I came up with an easy and very basic layout for the girls to use, but of course they did their own thing! :) We added a black frame
(big enough to fit the 8x10) and some fun pictures (throughout the night) to use, and the girls loved it! They now have a keepsake they each created from Sarah's 9th Birthday MYO Sleepover! 
 My Layout:

















Layout Size: 8 x 10
Supplies Needed:
All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise stated!
Stamps: Friends Rock
Ink: Tempting Turquoise, Melon Mambo
Paper:Melon Mambo, Tempting Turquoise, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White, Melon Mambo Patterns DSP
Tools: Scallop Circle Punch, 1 1/4" Circle Punch, Ticket Corner Punch, 3-D Dimensionals
Accessories: 1/4" Pumpkin Pie Grosgrain Ribbon
