They talked me into it!!




I've been fighting it every step of the way, but last night my downline finally convinced me to start blogging. I've wanted a way to share news, tips, and pictures with my downline, friends and customers, and I am so excited to start! I'm sure there will be a few bumps along the way, but bear with me while I figure out what I'm doing.
I thought that I would start by showing you the great Halloween page we made at my Stamp Club's meeting last month. We always make 3 projects, one of them a 6x6 scrapbook page that I should my members how to convert into an 8 1/2 x 11 page and then a 12x12 page. The blank areas on the 2 larger pages are for the journaling that I haven't gotten around to doing yet! The pages use Glorious Green, Pumpkin Pie, Very Vanilla and Lovely Lilac CS, Silver Mini Brads, and Lilac Ribbon; Ink Colors are Pumpkin Pie, Glorious Green, Lovely Lilac and Night of Navy. Accessories were the 1 3/8 circle punch, Uniball White Pen, and the black spiderweb paper is a retired one from last year. Stamp Sets were Booglie Eyes, and Trimtastic. ALL products used were from Stampin' Up!
My moto is, 'If it takes longer to make the page than it does to make the memory, then you're doing something wrong!', so you'll notice that I am totally into simple scrapbooking. The pages took 20 minutes, start to finish.
Hope you all have a great day, and thanks for looking!
