Card and Project Making Class 1/6/11

So, now that Christmas and all of its wonderful craziness is past, it's time to get back to some fun!  Here's the projects we'll be making next Thursday for class.  Thanks to the other Demonstrators who've shared their ideas and pictures!  Anyone is welcome to come to class.  We are meeting at Village Coffee House in Fayetteville, NC on Boone Trail Ext. at 6pm.  (If you can't make it at 6, please let me know because you are welcome to come at 7!)  Cost for the class is only a minimum $20 Stampin' Up order, which is a great deal!  (If you don't want to place an order, you can choose to pay a $10 class fee for supplies instead.)  Email or message me if you would like to come to class so that I can make sure I have supplies ready for you.

Stampin' Up has a neat promotion going on right now - it doesn't last long, however, so if it "grabs ya', get on over to my Stampin' Up website and order one NOW!!! (http://www.danielleblech.stampinup.net/)
Best part? the bundle includes a FREE package of those adoralbe little clear "bitty buttons"!! I LOVE them! This bundle would make a GREAT gift, too!

Christmas Frame Gift for my Grandparents

Hello!  So, it's been a super crazy month!  We went home to Cleveland, Ohio for Christmas last week.  It was such a great time to see our family and friends.  While I was home, I made some gifts for my grandparents and aunts using the All in the Family set.  This is a super fun and versatile set.  Here's what I did:
My grandparents have 8 children, and they each have some large families of their own.  So, I took a large photo frame and in each window, stamped the families with their children and grandchildren.  Here's a large shot of the frame:

Here's some closer shots:

Each window is one of my grandparents' children and their spouse and children. 
My Grandma said she loved it!
I also did individual smaller frames for my aunts and their families.  Of course, I didn't remember to take pictures until they were wrapped, so they will come soon.  Hope you like!



Weekly Card Class

Hello, All!  Last night I had my bi-monthly card making class.  I wanted to show you what we made!

This one is way more gorgeous in person.  It's hard to see the glitter on the medallion.

I can't get this one to turn, but you get the idea.  Super cute!

 I LOVE LOVE the treat cups and how versatile they can be!  What a super adorable snow globe!



New Christmas Collage Class

Get ready for some fun!  On Monday, November 29th come make a beautiful Christmas Collage to give as a gift or decorate your home for the Holidays!

Thanks to sister Stampin Up Demo Allison Barber for her idea for this project!

Monday Mailers, Stampin' Sister, and Swap!

I've got so much to share this week!  First are two beautiful cards that I received from Brenda, another demonstrator in North Carolina that I have been trading with this month.  I asked for some Thanksgiving cards and here's what she sent me.  They're gorgeous!

This is the card that I made for this month's swap at my local card shop.  It was an animal theme this month, so I couldn't resist finally getting to use the super cute Pun Fun set!  Isn't this the cutest hippo ever?

These are two of the cards that I received from my Stampin Sister Pam this week.  She is so talented!

Thanks for looking and sharing my excitement about stamping and crafts!  If you'd like to make any of these beautiful crafts, let me know and I can get you the supplies you need!  Have a great week! ~Danielle

Shalotte Quarterly Meeting

A few weeks ago, I went to my first quarterly meeting for my NC Demos SU! group.  It was one of the most fun weekends ever!  Starting Friday evening until Saturday evening, it was non-stop crafting!  I couldn't stop smiling!  Here's just some of what we made and swapped!

These are the shoebox swaps we made Friday evening until 2am!

This is the card that I created for the swap.

I organized a card swap using items from the amazing new Holiday Occasions Mini Catalog.  Here's mine first, along with the beautiful ones made by the other ladies.

Here are the cards for the recipe swap.

And, last but not least, the tag swaps!

Aren't they all amazing!?
If you like anything you see, send me a message or a comment and I can explain how to make it, or you can place an order to get your supplies and start crafting!
