Here are one of the six projects that we did at my Stamp Camp this weekend! I learned how to make this mini album out of ONE sheet of double sided Stampin' Up! designer paper... then, I just needed to add a few tags and doo-dads and I had a completed album! I had a great time with this project.
This first picture is of the mini album opened up. You can see the tags that have things written on them, and I plan to add photos to my mini album when I have some time to complete it!
The second picture is of the mini album closed. You're looking at the cover of it!
Remember that you can make your mini album in any theme that you choose. "Things that make me laugh," "When I feel most happy," "The steps to making the perfect cookie..." and the list can go on and on!
If you would like to learn how to make this project, we could do it at a totally hands on workshop. Just contact me for the details of what that means, and we can talk it over!

I got to go to Regionals!

Friday, I got to go to the Regional Seminar in Milwaukee for Stampin' Up! It was a really fun time! Here, my friend Jodi and I are enjoying the creation of some great projects!
I learned a few new tricks and some really neat techniques from this all day event. We got a free stamp set that will be in the upcoming Idea Book being released in July, lunch, the chance to make 6 neat projects, and tons of new ideas and techniques to try out.
Thanks to Jen, Sheryl, and Jodi for letting me tag along all day. I'm so lucky I've made such great stamping buddies! AND, I would also like to add that my stampin' buddy Lenore was a presenter and did a really GREAT job! I can't imagine being brave enough to get in front of all those people, and demonstrators at that! She did a wonderful job, and now I can say that I know a Stampin' Up! celebrity.

Burn Baby Burn!

This technique made my husband say... "AH!" I asked him to come watch while I literally set a sheet of paper "almost" on fire. Problem: both my kids followed him into my laboratory and they thought it was equally interesting. I had to stop to shoo them from the room before I continued. My disclaimer is this: if you don't want to later in life wonder why your children burnt your house down, do not give them the idea of setting paper on fire in the name of "art."
I'm not going to spoil the technique for you. This is going to be a project that we do at my Stamp Camp coming up on the 25th of February and we're going to do it for my Black River Falls club. Soooo, you'll have to sign up for the Stamp Camp if you're interested in learning how to make a Soot Card!
