Vellum Flowers and bookmarks.

I can't believe that next weekend is Labor Day!  I've been busy trying to get ready for my booth at the Walworth County Fair.
Last weekend and every night this week, we've been working on these adorable book marks! 

Once again I didn't take pictures!  But I had 5 lovely ladies, Teri Voss, Sheri Belanus, Jen Scheel, Chris Schumacher and Natalie Bauman come and help me last Sunday to put them together.  I've met these gals through my Stampin' Up! business and I'm incredibly blessed to have them in my life.  When they heard what I wanted to do they asked to come help.  And at first I resisted because you know I can do everything myself!  But soon realized I was nutts!  I crazily thought I should make 600 and so that's what we did!

The saying is a retired stamp set from Stampin' Up! but I really felt that God was leading me to do this and to spread His word and promote Him while I was trying to build my business.  After all, I would be nothing without Him.   So this one is my favorite but with 600 we have many many beautiful and interesting designs.  So please stop by and pick one up for free and say hi!  I'll be in the building that the Fair Office is in and I'm directly across from the Will Call window.  So come on by!  I'll also have retired product for sale.
The ribbon is from the new In Colors, stitched Satin Ribbon in Primrose Petals.  And of course we used Big Shot Label Framelits.  And the Designer Series Paper is from Floral District.  I'm keeping this one for myself, because it just makes me happy!

It was all about flowers for this month's workshops.  So we made this beautiful card with the new core color paper in the Holiday mini and the woodgrain embossing folder also found in the Holiday mini.  We used vellum to punch each size of the scallop circle punch, snipped between the scallops,  colored them with a sponge dauber and Viola instant flower.

Getting Ready for Halloween!

I know, I know what??  But really it will be here before you know it!~
I had my group meeting on Wednesday and I had Donna and Kris share what they learned at convention.  Or at least one thing they learned.............

I believe both of these projects were presented by Shannon West.  So stinking cute!
This first one is the Petite Purse Big Shot die cut down to make this cute little box.  And of course, the set is from the Holiday mini called Monster Munchies.  If you look really close, you'll see his bolts are brads!  Thanks to Kris Thomas for recreating Shannon's project.

This next project Donna Marcil recreated with the Ghoulish Googlies bundle on page 27 of the Holiday Mini.  The bag is run through the Big Shot with the Chevron embossing folder.  Donna gave each one of us who attended one of these.  LOVE IT!  I think we'll be making those next month at my clubs.

I did the make and take for us all.  We created this present topper, brooch, ornament thingy, whatever you want to call it with the new Scalloped Tulle Ribbon found on page 4 of the Holiday mini. And the Jumbo Sticky Rounds found on page 31 of the Holiday mini.  I LOVE those things.  I hadn't even noticed them until they used them at convention!
The center is cut from Fun Flowers Bigz die and embossed with the new embossing folder called Lacy Brocade on page 6 of the Holiday mini.  And of course the center is an antique brad.

I think for Christmas using this a bow is just magical!  The new scalloped ribbon is 10 yards for only 6.95.  I'll be buying ALOT of that for my Christmas gifts!

Check back in a few days for some of the swaps that were shared.
