March Workshop

Ok, so these didn't upload exactly how I intended, but you get the idea. Here are some pix of the projects we did at my March Workshop. (minus the candle- no picture of it yet). This first one is the kids project i did for the 3 little girls that were there as well. Then the adults and I did a candle and the two cards. The bottom photos are the altered chocolate bars I used as door prizes. The wrapped ones I gave to my hostess, Julie! Thanks again Julie! I look forward to stamping with her in the future as she will be a member of my Hostess Club starting in the coming months. Thanks for looking!

The Open House was a Success!

I had my first Stampin' Up! Open House to kick off my recent demonstratorship. It was last Saturday, and I think it turned out really well. I had a good group of ladies, ALMOST as excited as I am! We made 3 different projects, had yummy refreshments, placed orders and booked workshops. I can't wait to get the projects together for those. Here are pictures of the projects we made last week. The others are pictures of the door prizes I gave away during the Open House. Just the beginning I hope.

Happy Stamping!

The sample below was made with the Baroque Motifs set

The two door prizes below were made just using the Stamp Around stamp-Forever Flowers and the Scallop Punch!

This one, I used the Scallop Punch, Spring Sillhouettes Designer Paper and the Together Forever stamp set.

This one is also the Spring Sillhouettes Designer Paper, Lovely Labels stamp set and Scallop Punch.

The World of Rubber Stamping...

Stamping isn't just for cards anymore!

As of last week, I'm officially a Stampin' Up Demonstrator! I cannot wait until my first Open House on Feb 23rd. I'm so excited to share my new hobby with everyone. It's kind of an extension of Scrapbooking and my love of Photography. It's another way of displaying photos since you can make a custom mats, photo albums, etc to match the decor in your home or make a sweet keepsake for someone special. I've always loved scrapbooking as well and now I can try new ways of preserving my memories.

The photos I've uploaded are just a couple samples I made while playing around with what I had. Who knew you could "stamp" candles!? I'm definitely looking forward to mass producing these. I also made a little gift set (card, post-it note holder & pen) to go with a friend's birthday present, but I think it's a great idea to use for door prizes as well...Hmmm

Something to look forward to for those that are attending my Open House! =)

Gotta Run! More brainstorming and playing to be done!

Happy Stamping Everyone!

Christmas & New Year's are gone....hello 2008!

So I'm a sucker for Christmas decorations....obviously. I just wanted to post something new (as a result of my nagging cousin!-j/k) Anyway, I really did want to post a few pix from Christmas and New Year's Day.
I just love stopping at my Aunt's house on my way to Savannah to see my parents. She decorates so beautifully, I spend most of my time taking pictures of her house than visiting with everyone! (or making her think her house is on fire because my flash keeps going off!- lol) So I was bad and didn't take many pictures of Christmas morning with the family, but here are some of my favorite shots of my Aunt's house all decorated for the season.
At the bottom are some shots of me and my friends ringing in the New Year! Here's to a great one!

Just a quick update... Since June:

Lacey moved in with me and started working at Alfa in the Life Dept where I work, we're in line for a 2 bedroom apartment at my current complex...Work is busy as usual. And as you can see, I got a haircut recently! It was time for something a little different.

I've been getting into Stampin' Up (hand-stamped cards, scrapbook pages, gifts, tags, etc) a lot lately and hopefully looking at becoming a demonstrator in the next few months if all works out. I hope everyone else is doing well too. Let me hear from you!

Gotta get back to work now. Later!

10 Years, Already!!???

Well, I went, we had a blast, and reconnected with a lot of old friends. This past weekend was my 10 year high school reunion(Enterprise High School), Class of 1997!! Here's some of the pix from a wonderful weekend. Can't wait to see my friends again soon!

Graduations Galore!

I feel like I've been doing this nonstop this year...but we crossed another important bridge a week ago. My brother, Levi, graduated from South Effingham High School in Guyton, GA (near Savannah). Not sure what the future plans are exactly, but he's looking at SCAD (Savannah College of Art & Design) We'll see as it plays out. I feel so old, but so proud that he's made it this far. Here's a just few pix from that proud evening.

Pomp & Circumstance...

Well, she's done it. My sister, Lacey, is a college graduate! (Harding University-Bachelors in Music) Don't I feel old! Next weekend is my brother's High School Graduation. Busy year for the Fry family. Here's some pix from our great weekend...
