9/11 Rememberance

Today is September 11th.  I do remember that day in 2001.  Our son was the first to see the news as it was happening.  There was no time to shield him from such terrible news.  He was the one who called it to our attention.  It is such an important thing to remember.  I want to remember and at the same time I don't want to remember.  Remembering helps me to pray for all the families who lost loved ones by this act of terror. I am thankful for the diligent efforts of our leaders and military to protect us from further attacks.   I will always remember 9/11.

Rubber Stamping Class September 12th

On Monday, September 12th, we will be making these lovely cards.  The first one was inspired by Vanessa Zhong's vintage card.  We swapped at Convention 2011.  The second one is a fine card for Autumn using the Warmest of Wishes Stamp Set. 

I'm looking forward to seeing all my students again after the Labor Day Week-end.  I'm ready for Fall weather and Autumn colors.  You can tell by the Autumn Wreath on my front door! 

If you are in the Fresno/Clovis area and would like to join us, please go to my Stampin' Up Website and RSVP on my Calendar of Events.

Best Day Page

This page layout is quite "Vintage".  I used the Beau Chateau Designer Series Paper.  The colors are Soft Suede,Pink Pirouette, Very Vanilla and Marina Mist.  The Stamp Sets used were:  Fabulous Phrases and Best Friends Forever.  We'll be doing this page in my Scrapbooking Class this week.  The Top Note Die and the Decorative Label Punch are utilized in unique ways for accents and journaling spaces.

I've decided to use this Beau Chateau Product Suite for my parent's 60th Wedding Anniversary Celebration.  I'm looking forward to implementing it for my invitations, decorations and party planning.  The little blue flowers remind me of my mom's china.  It is so beautiful.

Beau Chateau Product Suite

One of my favorite product suites at the Stampin' Up Convention 2011 display was the Beau Chateau!  You can tell by the number of photos I took!  It was so pretty and vintage.  You will find the Beau Chateau Product Suite featured in the SU Idea Book and Catalog on pages 132-133.  You'll find fabric, Stamp Sets, Side Notes, a 6 x 6 Printed Album, Digital Downloads, Designer Series Paper and Textured Impressions Embossing Folders.  The last photo is a vintage card I designed for my Stamp Clubs using the Beau Chateau DSP.
