This Days-to-Remember Calendar makes a great gift and is easy to make at just 3 workshops. My sister, Shirley, and I hold 3 workshop and make four pages each night. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEacxVGkp0vnu4ZhdTY5MeW3G404RtOVSxKp98W2NDsTc3gJW8bLD-h78IGCbBoGUea93j8tgu4mSHEjCGyczHMLgdhmhA5NQYdH3s0aM6zyNljmwmgtqwKDZj_qadw9gKO2wMM-_JMBLi/s1600/P4281958.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467053567348834562" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEacxVGkp0vnu4ZhdTY5MeW3G404RtOVSxKp98W2NDsTc3gJW8bLD-h78IGCbBoGUea93j8tgu4mSHEjCGyczHMLgdhmhA5NQYdH3s0aM6zyNljmwmgtqwKDZj_qadw9gKO2wMM-_JMBLi/s200/P4281958.JPG" /></a> By holding the workshops mid-year it gives your ladies the rest of the year to collect pictures for their calendar.

I think one of the big favorites will be the "Island Oasis" designer paper and the "Tropical Party" stamp set that will be great to use for all of your summer parties. Also, there is a wheel and stamp set that will be perfect for 'July 4th" cards and party favors. And, don't forget Dad by using the "King of the Grill" set.<br /></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#ff0000;">If you would like a Summer Mini just email me at </span><a href="mailto:csoehler@bellsouth.net"><span style="color:#ff0000;">csoehler@bellsouth.net</span></a><span style="color:#ff0000;"> and I'll be glad to send you one.</span></div><span style="color:#ff0000;"></span></div><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;">Thought for the day:</span></span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;">"When Silence speaks for Love, she has much to say"</span></span></div><div align="right"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;">Richard Garnett</span></div><br /><br /><br /><div align="right"><span style="color:#ff0000;"></div><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb_t298OmS-hBaLyEaGeFLih8mKeIAxFPviH7tLMVAvwKblle9cpEBtEYFL6XsTaY8xPQJgf6oHJGCAB7q-GVjkdDY9SEVY9ZTeXdcUFDikUJRnqi9btXIXk0LrM0MjuAyADTzoWt8hQ21/s1600/P4281950.JPG"><span style="color:#ff0000;"></span></a><span style="color:#ff0000;"><br /></span><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXXjAGJsWzRjCwGtRpReCPbso6HbLNrUqdkAih4aEaWQmEByGRcTayADH8Q3kJyVvBlMIGR74-XFqeFRe_QjqZYsr903lxnmXWESKJuza1nnp4laHT9mg98fhBkh5XV0WvYYVCjoEvsz2H/s1600/P4281949.JPG"></a><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>Nana's Attichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06549479786043446739noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469541982105511664.post-70438263341557642002010-04-30T00:01:00.000-04:002010-04-30T00:01:00.343-04:00"DON'T MISS OUT"<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP0YqaFrsNQmx8XMg8mxxRKiyhaNFmtIET_UuZa84ftgXHZwPBj8CgSpLLKX5coNOgu9lhlh8cBeh0U-CjPp8ioipCHX3yzpdPeQ2Gb7SDotFsGVS3YMQL8etQ3f2GLfSBDwoewVWdDjrs/s1600/P4281954.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465144554091963090" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP0YqaFrsNQmx8XMg8mxxRKiyhaNFmtIET_UuZa84ftgXHZwPBj8CgSpLLKX5coNOgu9lhlh8cBeh0U-CjPp8ioipCHX3yzpdPeQ2Gb7SDotFsGVS3YMQL8etQ3f2GLfSBDwoewVWdDjrs/s200/P4281954.JPG" /></a><br /><br />Today is the last day to order from the Occasions Mini Catalog.

The cards are made from the "Sweet Pea" designer paper and embellished with the "Sweet Pea Stitched Felt". Even though we can't use the same designer paper or embellishments we can use the design of the cards to CASE (Copy and Steal Everything) our own cards.

By using a 6" x 6" piece of designer paper you will have enough left after cutting out the dress to put a strip down the edge of the inside that will show behind the scalloped edge on the front of the card. It's a great little card to make at a workshop.<br /><br /><div align="left">Don't forget that we only have THREE days left to order from the Occassions Mini catalog.

She was leaving for a dance competition in South Carolina. I can't believe she turned 14 and will be in high school next year.

We both have been demonstrator with Stampin' Up! since 2005. We are a team and do our workshops, camps, and clubs together. We have met some wonderful ladies and formed many lasting friendships with our stamping ladies over the last 5 years.<br />This is the card I made for Shirley for her birthday. It was made from the wing and leaf and stem from the new bird punch in the Occassions Mini Catalog. This is a punch you will want to purchase as there are many pretty things other than the bird on a branch that you can make. Click on the shopping card to go to my Stampin' Up! website to see the punch.<br />HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SIS!!!!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj347otkX1thJCL0NogjGxjYVf-YsP1ldUs5nSvO90PzbfhYQO9ByOucme22fDT3khR48Y8UgnPN9U5r-iEf6j2REtNHF8LdsfF0j7NsgHuvqs2XJGT9JAbKdESVWy9Din5-ZrA0QQAhzTf/s1600/P4221940.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463515727533312370" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj347otkX1thJCL0NogjGxjYVf-YsP1ldUs5nSvO90PzbfhYQO9ByOucme22fDT3khR48Y8UgnPN9U5r-iEf6j2REtNHF8LdsfF0j7NsgHuvqs2XJGT9JAbKdESVWy9Din5-ZrA0QQAhzTf/s200/P4221940.JPG" /></a> <span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;">Thought for the day:</span><br /></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;">"May the Lord, the God of your fathers, increase you a thousand times and bless you as he has promised!"<br /></div></span><div align="right"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;">Deuteronomy 1:11</span></div>Nana's Attichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06549479786043446739noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469541982105511664.post-38676133057682192732010-04-16T00:01:00.000-04:002010-04-15T20:47:08.506-04:00ONE MORE "FIFTH AVENUE" CARD<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPqHI-BEy5LfnjGOMQHVL1i9s51qeekuh_5xGk39PWVw-DQXSXfnF0PxW-Lfi6HuVTKoU7UKMO7DD4NuoxVpF1abyO6lRt97fOyNmyeiuDgGeSrK4gJd2GUZzfTp6vzLO1JVBFIyAmx1iV/s1600/P4151922.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460526465383766418" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPqHI-BEy5LfnjGOMQHVL1i9s51qeekuh_5xGk39PWVw-DQXSXfnF0PxW-Lfi6HuVTKoU7UKMO7DD4NuoxVpF1abyO6lRt97fOyNmyeiuDgGeSrK4gJd2GUZzfTp6vzLO1JVBFIyAmx1iV/s200/P4151922.JPG" /></a> As you can tell, I really enjoy using the Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set. This is a simple card that can be used in so many ways - Mother's Day, Birthday, Sympathy, Thinking of You, etc. The card is made with one of the new corner punches in the Occassions Mini Catalog. To step it up a notch just use the coordinating punch that was free in the Sale-A-Bration catalog. (Be looking for this punch in the new 2010-2011 Catalog. I feel sure it will be there.)<br /><br />Remember that the Fifth Avenue Floral set can be purchased at a 20% discount until April 30th. Other sets that can be purchased with the discount are:<br /><div align="center">Greenhouse Garden - Page 94*</div><div align="center">Flower Fancy - Page 101*</div><div align="center">Trendy Trees - Page 112*</div><div align="center">To purchase any of these sets just click on the shopping cart on the right of my blog.</div><div align="left"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP9LmY6GlsT-H_FGah9G6CkSK096AOhzPmuA-tYgdAgXMAMwKTJ8oBzGR2UQaWYs3vwE_PGGZ27p_DKN_LLrWlGSI85gNB1Nrd14fCb-shgdwM1X43MLwEmJzDptDIgzKweiBmZUTcWUEL/s1600/P4151923.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460526123480043666" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP9LmY6GlsT-H_FGah9G6CkSK096AOhzPmuA-tYgdAgXMAMwKTJ8oBzGR2UQaWYs3vwE_PGGZ27p_DKN_LLrWlGSI85gNB1Nrd14fCb-shgdwM1X43MLwEmJzDptDIgzKweiBmZUTcWUEL/s200/P4151923.JPG" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;">Thought for the day:</span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"></span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;">"Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goals."</span></div><div align="right"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="color:#3333ff;">Unknown</span><br /></div></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">*Pages in 2009-2010 Catalog</span>Nana's Attichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06549479786043446739noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469541982105511664.post-42337835277999714482010-04-15T09:06:00.005-04:002010-04-15T09:31:29.286-04:00"TAKE ADVANTAGE OF APRIL PROMOTION"<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ_NCR3YufRR7c2fZiUW8jQ1tAnYfqT8vVxRRwR0Z7x7pRqsDqIfeS1nBE5u4hPPwNQPLiZSnzXi5t8YktG_KWUsXWR_rgo69WU5ck0v29kB_f1KrJSC2lxyh802n0e5cIRWUoZbmf85Zl/s1600/P4151920.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460352337921198018" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ_NCR3YufRR7c2fZiUW8jQ1tAnYfqT8vVxRRwR0Z7x7pRqsDqIfeS1nBE5u4hPPwNQPLiZSnzXi5t8YktG_KWUsXWR_rgo69WU5ck0v29kB_f1KrJSC2lxyh802n0e5cIRWUoZbmf85Zl/s200/P4151920.JPG" /></a> I love the combination of yellow and black. I also love the Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set. You will see me feature it several times this month because it's featured in Stampin's Up!s "Two-Step into Spring" promotion. Through April 30th you can purchase this set along with 3 more two-step stampin' sets at 20% off. Check out the promotion by clicking on the shopping cart on the right of my blog.<br /><br />This is a quick and easy card to make at your camp.To save time it's a good idea to go ahead and punch the borders on all of the cards except one. This gives the stamper a chance to use the punch but it's a real time saver, especially if you only have one punch. Also, don't forget to stamp something inside the card as well as something on the envelope. This takes your cardmaking to the "next level".<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9L-8PBAd8Hkv7Ck2zOMGvqQtCtPeefIHgAib3WcJFVobvR6Zsknjhthyphenhyphennts8u8Kt54ydzsw7iyhn1BI7ihj_u7J0q3_yTsHuELneIQfDWbm8ogw4UsndGTTrrs4ZglHbStih69neN9XBq/s1600/P4151921.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460350999708139426" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9L-8PBAd8Hkv7Ck2zOMGvqQtCtPeefIHgAib3WcJFVobvR6Zsknjhthyphenhyphennts8u8Kt54ydzsw7iyhn1BI7ihj_u7J0q3_yTsHuELneIQfDWbm8ogw4UsndGTTrrs4ZglHbStih69neN9XBq/s200/P4151921.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;">Thought for the day:</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;">"Do not follow where the path may lead.

For the pinwheel cut two 2 5/8" squares and join together like a "star". Then punch out eight squares (4 of 2 colors) with the 1 1/4" punch. Adhere the squares on each of the "star" points. Tuck the last square in to finish the pinwheel. Put a brad or button in the center to embellish the pinwheel and you're done!!<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;">Thought for the day:</span><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;">"Yesterday is a cancelled check; tomorrow is a promissory note; today is the only cash you have -- so spend it wisely."</span></div><div align="right"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;">Kay Lyons</span></div>Nana's Attichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06549479786043446739noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469541982105511664.post-22895846229354985182010-04-08T00:01:00.001-04:002010-04-08T00:01:01.239-04:00"MASKING" TECHNIQUE<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYaj_4IJzgTF0wqjgWn0SE1cdsDRkd5DLLINCYbcVO2QJ-kBxBKMSmepmyk-NWFkyxjdRP4ZpYtLAw1TsYhmVM4uM8g6L5nogeYZF7tMQLZatD5qIXZxjaSvNA7Fm8Hn6d-rUqtSGUjFZu/s1600/P4071918.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457563874410683938" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYaj_4IJzgTF0wqjgWn0SE1cdsDRkd5DLLINCYbcVO2QJ-kBxBKMSmepmyk-NWFkyxjdRP4ZpYtLAw1TsYhmVM4uM8g6L5nogeYZF7tMQLZatD5qIXZxjaSvNA7Fm8Hn6d-rUqtSGUjFZu/s200/P4071918.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div align="center">This is a beautiful card sent to me by a fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator, Karen G.

My sister, Shirley, made them for one of our camps. She used four 1" scraps of designer paper for the bottom of the card and used the eyelet border punch (#113692) on a piece of whisper white cardstock (#100730) on the top of the card. Stampin' Up! ribbon was used as well as the little butterfly from the Flight of the Butterfly (#111564) stamp set.<br /><div align="center">What a great way to use your designer paper scraps!!!</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">Check out Shirley's blog at <a href="http://thedailystamper.blogspot.com/">http://thedailystamper.blogspot.com/</a> to see other pretty cards and projects that she has made.</div><div align="center"></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#3366ff;">Thought for the day:</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#3366ff;">"The highest reward for a person's toil is not what they get for it, but what they become by it."</span></div><div align="right"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#3366ff;">John Ruskin</span></div>Nana's Attichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06549479786043446739noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469541982105511664.post-78107627630967066142010-03-19T00:01:00.002-04:002010-03-19T00:01:02.944-04:00"SHARE YOUR TALENTS"<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZZpoIsgics_G95rUpS-njjlReoeyE0UStwfl0eN8a4bL49jCmjc1OvB8dR7MHVfA4cTqsceRbETpVBlmEMKnn7o7pSQYKCz9w3Yprg7tfz7g5MD72ApjZfIaeG_Jghn_RBl3Fro22PMOB/s1600-h/P3161871.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449594157849160834" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZZpoIsgics_G95rUpS-njjlReoeyE0UStwfl0eN8a4bL49jCmjc1OvB8dR7MHVfA4cTqsceRbETpVBlmEMKnn7o7pSQYKCz9w3Yprg7tfz7g5MD72ApjZfIaeG_Jghn_RBl3Fro22PMOB/s200/P3161871.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTnzPUgUbCfWsiPoT69QVDq3J0xKsbo6kHM3q-4i6S94MeE9CjtzQSgLi_RQsU15CGUl1M1LuNwf1NlUbTGl9QG1DX0WVuUYjDin_Mz6oq_lVcClGubR6QoekoVZ0WELVucRgJr6hnanSD/s1600-h/P3161874.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449593835860543234" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTnzPUgUbCfWsiPoT69QVDq3J0xKsbo6kHM3q-4i6S94MeE9CjtzQSgLi_RQsU15CGUl1M1LuNwf1NlUbTGl9QG1DX0WVuUYjDin_Mz6oq_lVcClGubR6QoekoVZ0WELVucRgJr6hnanSD/s200/P3161874.JPG" /></a> This past Sunday our minister's sermon was on "Share Your Talents".
