More Playful Polka Dot Card Samples!

I was so excited to get some craft time while camping in Algonquin this past week! I was even more excited that my friend Michelle decided to join me at the pinic table one afternoon to work on more Playful Polka Dot samples for my upcoming class. Thanks Michelle!

Enjoy the two cards we created!

Registration for this class will close Sunday August 14th at 5pm

You can RSVP here, or email me at lisaburns@rogers.com

Have a great weekend everyone!

Fancy This!

This might be my favorite project from the Simply Scrappin' Kit Playful Polka Dots!

I used the Fancy Favor Bigz die to create the bag to hold the 4 3x3 love notes. Each 3x3 card was decorated using the contents of the Simply Scrappin' Kit and since the kit comes with 3 sheets of coordinating die cuts, I barely used any adhesive!!

Here's a close up of the bag & the cards:

I will have even more Playful Polka Dot samples to share with you over the next week... come back often!

Registration for this class will close on Friday August 12th - register here before that date to secure your spot!

You're an 11!

Another card made using the Simply Scrappin' Kit - Playful Polka Dots! A very simple card that could be duplicated in a number of different colors to use up scraps!

Want to come to my August 23rd class yet :o) More samples are coming your way to convince you to come!

The saying is from a new Hostess Credit set called 'Perfect Words'. This 8 image set would normally retail at a cost of $17.95 for clear or $24.95 for wooden. When you host a home workshop or catalogue party or join a stampers club, you can use Hostess dollars to buy it for just $11 clear or $15 wooden.

The Stampin' Up! hostess program has changed dramatically with the launch of the new 2012 IB&C - watch for another update this week outlining those changes! If you haven't hosted a home party before OR you haven't had one recently...get your calendar out and we'll book a date for you to take full advantage of this new rewarding program!!

There's still room! RSVP here today!

Simply Scrappin' Kit Class: Playful Polka Dot

I had a lot of fun with this kit! I have to say, it was pretty easy to sit down and complete a bunch of projects within a short timeframe, when using it!

The colors are bright, fun and have a real summer fresh feeling to them. The primary colors in the kit are Pumpkin Pie, Daffodill Delight, Old Olive and Rose Red.

Although the kits have 'Scrappin' it their name, the kit contents can absolutely be used to make quick, and stunning cards or other paper projects like boxes, bags etc.

This might be one of my favorite cards made using the Playful Polka Dot kit + a tiny bit of stamping! I would love to hear from blog viewers about your experience with Simply Scrappin' Kits!

Thanks for stopping by today. I'll be back tomorrow with another card, made using the Playful Polka Dot kit!

Another New Class!

I'm on a role ...lol

I'm pleased to announce another new class for August! While this class will have a bit of scrapbooking focus, there is the option to attend for the cardmaking session. I will have 4 spots for scrappers and 4 spots for cardmakers!

When you register for this class, you will receive a Playful Polka Dot Simply Scrappin' Kit to work with on Tuesday August 23rd. I've timed the 6 scrapbook pages to be completed within the 1.5hr class so you'll leave the class feeling accomplished and having all kit contents in hand for further use at home!!

The cost of the class is just $35 which is what it would normally cost you to buy the kit on your own (after shipping & taxes), but by coming to the class, you get the layouts, projects & the instruction for FREE!!!

RSVP by going to my business website. Registration for this class will close on August 12th so mark the date on those calendars and prepare to get some scrappin' done! I will continue to show some project samples close up throughout this week!

Simply Scrappin' Kit Class - Thursday October 28th !

If you've wondered what these kits contain, or the projects you can create with them - this class is for you!

We will be focusing on Holiday cards Thursday night, with the help of the Christmas Cheer Simply Scrappin' Kit shown below. There's still room for you to join the fun! Email me before 9pm Wednesday night at lisaburns@rogers.com.

With my camera still out-of-commission, I'm not able to show any of the projects I've been working on lately - which makes me really sad becuase I've been very, very busy! But, if you've been to a recent class, you know that I've been displaying all of my projects for you to see while you're here. If you're coming by for an upcoming class, be sure to bring your camera and take as many pictures as you wish!!

In light of my current situation (no camera = no pictures to show), I've decided to post a few pictures from my Simply Scrappin' Class from last year so that at least you can get an idea of what you'll be missing if you don't join us Thursday night - lol!! Enjoy!

The class fee is just $30 and you'll leave with all class materials + the Christmas Cheer SS Kit

The value of the kit alone is $31.00 after shipping & taxes so you're getting both the class & the kit for cheaper than what it would cost you to buy the kit on it's own!

Note - you will be using the contents of your own kit and leaving the class with lots of left over contents!

Something I don't get to do very often...

Scrapbook GIRL pages! Don't get me wrong...I love scrapping Evan, but what I wouldn't give to be able to use more softer colours in my album from time to time... thank goodness for my niece Brienna!
