"Last Chance" List Contest

It's that time of year. On June 1st, Stampin' Up! will be releasing their "Last Chance" list, formerly known as the "Retiring List". As a demonstrator, I get the privilege of knowing the list of stamp sets that will no longer be available for sale as of July 1st. This will include the In Colours as well.

So....this brings me to my CONTEST!!!

Please e-mail me at meilani.z.smith@hotmail.com with your top 10 guesses of stamp sets from the current Spring/Summer 2009 catalogue that will retire (not including hostess sets) and receive the Darling Dots Level 1 hostess set plus free shipping with your next order with me.



The entrant with the highest number of correct guesses is the winner -- if there is a tie, then I will draw a name from those participants who have guessed the most.


Be sure to check back on Monday, June 1st to see the Last Chance List and the winner of the contest.

On a side note, if you have a favourite "In Colour" make sure to order your items now before they run out. Contact me for ordering details.

Second Anniversary card

I was finally able to finish off the second anniversary card...in between taking care of my sick boy. I had to create the flower 5 times because I wasn't happy with the placing of the Crystal Effects and I still ended up choosing the first one that I had done.

Key Ingredients:
Stamp Set: Congrats
Card Stock: Whisper White, Real Red, Pixie Pink
DSP: Sweet Always
Ink Pad: Real Red, Pink Passion
Other: Simple Flower Sizzix Embosslits, Stampin' Dimensionals

Non SU-Products: Versa Color - White

Crafting Again

Ahhhh, the in-laws have left and the hubby has gone to work in the Territories!!!!! I now have time to play. Hopefully, the little critter is feeling better tomorrow so I can drop him off at his daycare.

This is the anniversary card I had created today for my in-laws. Don't know if I will be giving it to my sister-in-law or my mother-in-law. Their anniversaries are one day apart. I'll be making the second one tonight...hopefully.

Ingredients:
Card Stock: Yoyo Yellow, Only Orange, Whisper White
Designer Series Paper (DSP): Sweet Always
Die Cut: Birds and Blooms
Ink Pad: Only Orange
Marker: Really Rust
Stamp Set: Congrats
Other: Stampin Dimensionals, brad from Making Memories

Card for Swapping

On Monday, I attended my first Sea to Sky Stampers meeting. For those of us who wanted to swap cards we just had to make sure we made enough cards for everyone. Because I didn't have time to create a new card, due to a week and a half long visit from the in-laws (from Ontario-they will be leaving this Saturday), I decided to improve on the Mother's Day card that I had made for my friend. Here is the result.

I 'edge dabbed' the card and the Bigz Top Note die cut. I also put Crystal Effects on the flowers.

At the back, instead of the gift card, I inserted my business card. At the back of the business card is a list of the products used to make the card.

Cardstock: Pixie Pink, Whisper White
Classic Ink Pads: Pixie Pink, Pink Passion
Stamp Set: Eastern Blooms
Other: Bigz Top Note die cut, Whisper White 5/8" satin ribbon, Crystal Effects

I did learn a lesson from the swapping....I must do more layers. All of my cards that I have done in the past years have always been simple and less than 3 layers. I'll have to get myself out of that mindset and into this new one.

Another Flip Album

After my Scrapbooking Retreat in April, I started another Flip Album but this time for my mother-in-law. This was her Mother's Day gift.
