Scrap Club 2012-2013

This year I am going to introduce a new aspect to my classes with a scrap club. I hosted a scrap class in May and it was a success! We all enjoyed ourselves and I realized how much I miss traditional scrapbooking. These scrap classes will be held on a monthly basis and do not require any type of committment. I only require a two week notice in order to prepare supplies and space. Below is more information.

What: Scrap at least 4 pages each month
When: 4th Saturday of every month; our first meeting will be July 28
RSVP: at least 2 weeks in advance; Please RSVP by July 14 if you plan to attend the first meeting
Cost: a flat $15 each month

Thank you notes!

My creative time has been quite limited the past two months. My days {and nights!} are full of nursing, rocking and diaper changing. I've stolen a few moments here and there to create some thank you cards. We've been blessed by many gifts for our sweet little guy. Here are a few:

More In Color fun!

I have to admit, my In Colors are getting more mileage than I expected. I should have known with Stampin' Up! though. They do exhaustive research on color trends, etc before they even consider putting new colors out there! These cards were made with a Crumb Cake base and use Designer Series Paper in Peach Parfait and Pear Pizzazz. I then added lots of vintage accessories including Mini Vintage tags, Vintage Trinkets and Vintage Brads. Don't you also just love the new Chantilly Crochet Trim? It adds such a delicate touch to my projects. Stamps sets used were Curly Cute and Tiny Tags. Both some of my faves! Hope you have  wonderful Thursday!

Japanese Book Binding

I did this little book for a demonstrator challenge using Japanese book binding. The technique is easy and the result is fabulously elegant. I love the simplicity of this project, yet it still looks so chic. These little books are quick and easy to make and would be wonderful gifts!

You can find a tutorial on Japanese book binding here.

Friday Fun!

Claire has been lucky enough to participate in VBS this year on post. Today is her last day and I wanted to make a little something special for her crew leader and the assistant crew leader. Claire and I came up with these:

This single milk carton is for the teenager helping out with Claire's crew. It will be filled with  yummy German chocolates!

This cute little package of milk cartons is for the crew leader.
