These are the invites for my BFF Christine's baby shower back in September. Baby number 5 is almost here (2 1/2 weeks). I used cuddle bug templates for the embossing and Stampin Up stamp for the wording.

Happy stamping,

Jenn

Today's post is a notebook and pen holder

Blue paper is cut 7 3/8 x 3 1/4

Score at 3 1/8, 3 1/2, and 3 7/8

Fold scores. Fold paper in half so scored lines meet. Cut two slits(to hold pen)

Tape just bottom fold down and pop out part that you cut to hold the pen.

Tape post it note (2 7/8 x 2 7/8 or 3 x3) to bottom of paper to hold in place.

For front- yellow paper is 3 x 3

white paper is 2 3/4 x 2 3/4

Technique:

Shells are stamped in chocolate chip and chalked. Take eraser and erase lines.

Happy Stamping,

Jenn

P.S. I will be at a vendor fair this Saturday from 10-4 CFFC Church RT. 94 in Hardyston - looking forward to seeing you.

Paper clip book marks

Today is two simple bookmarks I made using the Tart and Tangy stamp set from Stampin' Up.

Quick and easy. Held on by two glue dots.

Use to mark your pages in books, cook books, where ever they are needed.

I am going to try to make some cute boy and girl ones. I haope to have them posted in the next couple of days.

Thanks for checking in,

Jenn

I'm back

Sorry it has been so long since I've been on. Summer break . I will be posting up coming events shortly. Kids are heading back to school tomorrow. I will be left with just my Melissa (she's 2) home:( So hopefully I will have more time to post. Here is a card I threw together for my monthly swap I host. Hope you enjoy it.

I used Under the Stars from SU, River Rock paper-SU, SU water color pencils, white and brown liquid applique. I love it. It's pretty self explanatory, but you do have to cut bears out to put arms around each other. If you have any questions, please let me know.

WYE, Jenn

Still waiting

Hello,

I am not patiently waiting for my new catalogs. I feel sorry for my UPS man. I am scoping for him all day long. My catalogs are supposed to be coming any day now. When I see him he will probably run the other way, cause the front door will be flying open with me and who knows how many kids and animals running behind me racing to get the box! Ugh! I can't take the pressure!! I need my catalogs....... New stamp stuff.......

Have a great laugh,
Happy stamping, WYE
Jenn

Where is Summer going

Hi everyone,

I can't believe it is almost August. My summer is going by so fast. Cheer leading has already started, and a little over a month before school starts. We are getting schedules and learning who there teachers are. I will have three in school come September. Wow only one left with me at home:) Hopefully I will get to stamp more, but with this little one, I don't know about that.
Love you Lissa.

I will hopefully be getting the new catalog soon. It has been shipped, but I am waiting!!!!!!!
I was told all the stamp sets are die cut already. Just like the Spring mini ...all you had to do was punch out and stick on. no more cutting!! Yea!!!!

I will let you know as soon as I get my copy. Everyone can look.

Happy Stamping,
Jenn

This week.....

I am sorry to have been gone so long. I had VBS at my church all week and I had almost 100 kids everyday. Then I came home with any where between 2 and 5 extra kids a day. My husband had a softball game every night and I couldn't miss one because they were in the second round of the play offs.

Mybusy week is now over. We went food shopping for the first time this month....everyone is so happy. Mowed the lawn, cut bushes down at my father-n-laws (which I had to stop-they were in the evergreen family and I am allergic), took the kids for a walk, which we had to cut short due to a bear sighting. Yes, we have more bears in town than my sister-n-law in PA.

Now we are just relaxing. I will get back to stamping and will try to post new pictures, my camera also died this week.

So stay tuned...


Happy stamping,
Jenn

Today's project is a simple book mark. I love book marks. It is a simple project that I can even get my 2 year old to make. On those long summer days when they complain, Mom, I have nothing to do, pull out your scrap papers, ribbon and let them go to town. They love to see them when they open their books everyday to read.

I made this bookmark for a craft (during our free time) at our Womans Advance for my church. You can visit the website http://www.cffchurch.org/ .

I used Embrace Life stamp set from Stampin Up

Hope you enjoy. Off to the lake to embrace life with the kids and friends.

I have a web site

I am so excited....I have my Stampin Up Website. I hope you all visit my site and my events calendar. I will keep you updated on my classes and events so mark my website in your favorites and check back daily.

Here is a double fold card...I got the idea from dawns stampin thoughts.

New to blogging

I am new to blogging, so hopefully I can keep up with this. I hope I can give you some ideas, if nothing else, a couple of laughs.

This is a pop up card. I used Time well spent from Stampin Up!

I hope you enjoy my blog and visit regularly.

Happy Stamping,

Jenn
