Another Make & Take from Leadership.  We used the new Springtime Vintage Designer fabric, Beveled windowpane,  Clearly for You stamp set, Fun Flowers Bigz L Die, Victoria Crochet Trim, Baja Breeze Seam Binding, Trinket Keys charm…all of these products can be found in the new Occasions Mini catalog.

This was one of the make & takes at the SU! Leadership conference!  We used the largest of the Simply Adorned Charms and the 34" chain (page 189 of the current catalog).  Embellished with Baja Breeze Seam binding, Crown, pearl and key charms as well as Springtime Vintage Designer fabric.

This was my swap card for the SU! Leadership Conference I attended in Nashville last week.

I LOVE the new Springtime Vintage DSP from the Occasions Mini Catalog-available through April 30th.  I also used the new Fun Flowers Bigz XL die.  Colors:  Baja Breeze, Always Artichoke, Very Vanilla.  I'm loving the ribbon technique with our new seam binding-very easy!

Inspired by a similar bag created by Rosemarie Diehl.  I CASEd it for the bags that held my "Worlds Best Bean Soup Mix" that I sold at a holiday boutique (as well as used as gifts throughout the holidays).

Jolly Holiday DSP; Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive Cardstocks; 2-3/8" Scallop Circle Extra Large and Snowflake punches; Decorative Strips Bigs XL Die; Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding; Silver Tinsel.

I know, I know-I took another long break for the holidays and these next few weeks may be a little short on new posts as well as I'm getting ready to attend the SU! Leadership meetings in Nashville.  

It has now been officially 1 year since I started my blog and I want to thank you for all your wonderful comments throughout the year!  I'll try to be more consistent in posting this year…

The project above was made using the Level 1 Hostess paper pack (in-color DSP) and the Pocket Silhouettes stamp set  (Pear Pizazz and Concord Crush are featured here).  I made over 20 of these for my mother to give to her customers as Christmas presents using a couple of these paper packs.   These cards are a bit smaller than the standard as I used the Notecards (w/envelopes) that are on page 171 of the current catalog.  You get 20 pre-scored notecards/envelopes for only $5.95!  Each tote holds 6 cards.

Some quick treats using 1 x 8 bags from clearbags.com

A few more double notepads made for my holiday boutique using retired DSP.  The basic instructions are now posted under the instruction sheet tab.
