Clearance Rack

Guess what? Stampin' UP! has a CLEARANCE RACK ~ check it out! Click on the red CLEARANCE RACK, and when you get into my site go to Products (drop down list)/click on the shop now and then on the left, second item down, Clearance and you're there. You will need to do an on-line order, that's the only way Stampin' UP! can keep track of their inventory since these items will only be available until they're sold out! I already ordered 25 of the tins I'll be using for my Build-A-Bears (a little magnet, bear, clothes) perfect gift to keep the kids happy while traveling! I'm working on my bear so should have clothes for him soon! Here's what I have so far~

My 1st Scrapbook Page Using my digital STUDIO

We went for a visit to the Alpaca Farms today! It was so much fun and my Grandson Johnny really enjoyed getting to see all the animals and feeding the ever so friendly Alpacas. Below is a photo of the owner's weighing in a brand new baby Alpaca ~ the visit of a lifetime.

There were two farms that were open to the public today and Maureen Macedo works with my daughter (Johnny's Mom) and so it was really special to visit and meet such nice people.

This is the time of year when new Alpaca's are born and we were lucky enough to get to see a new one that had been born just an hour before we got there ... very exciting!

Oh ~ and my digital STUDIO made it so easy to save the experience with captions, added embellishments and stamps! Way cool!!!!

Beary Best Wishes Card

This little card I saw on the Stampin' UP! Demo website. I changed it up just a bit by running the Bashful Blue CS through the embossing folder Petals-a-Plenty. Used the border punch on the bottom and mounted onto Very Vanilla CS and then onto Basic Black CS. The hodgepodge hardware with pink tafetta ribbon ~ just like the sample. I used SU water color pencils on the little girl bear. She's just the "sweetest"! Thanks for looking and keep stampin'~

My 1st My Digital Studio Creation

I created a card ~ love the colors and it's so easy to use. Lovin' it! I added a couple of embelishments after I printed, a button with linen thread and a blue brad.

Pillow Box Bucket

This was so much fun to make and all the directions are on the SCS site ~ it even has a video! I used Dusty Durange CS and ink to sponge edges. The die cut is the Pillow Box. I used the Cast-A-Spell DSP to make the handle ... punches were 1" for black circles for eyes and 1/4" punch for the white part (Whisper White CS) and used my Slot Punch to lace the handles through and fastened with little black brads. Then, filled it with Halloween candy ... ready to go!

Boy Build-A-Bear Card

Equal opportunity ~ did the girl bear earlier so now it's the boy bear's turn ~ isn't he cute?

I used the Build-A-Bear Beary Best Friends Stamp Set and Beary Nice Wishes Stamp Set. I colored him with the colored pencils. Top Note Die cut in half (Dusty Durango CS) and Modern Label Punch to mount the Beary Best Wishes. I used a piece of Dusty Durango Grosgrain Ribbon across the center. The DSP is Pawsitively Prints and Bashful Blue CS and I stamped with Brocade Blue Classic stampin' pad.

Hope you like him!
