Hello Fellow Stampers ~
Well, still struggling around here to do everything that I want to do!! So far I'm discovering that juggling sewing/quilting, card designing, the real job, and maintaining my home and taking care of hubby is about more than I can do in a day's time!! LOL
Last week was ALL about finishing some looooong overdue UFOs (unfinished objects in the quilting world). And this week it's back to the Studio design table as I have the BIG Annual Christmas Stamp-a-Stack this Saturday, and my crafters are expecting BIG things!! LOL
Here are a few of the finished projects from last week for just a little fun peek ~~
You can't see the embroidery in the Ivory fabric squares on this one -- but it's really pretty; different garden tools and scenes done in a green thread that matches the borders. Lots of fun!!
The BIG quilt for Mike for Christmas is still waiting in the wings! Yikes!! Wish me luck!
We kicked off the Coffee & a Card class series two weeks ago -- with the new Winter Meadow Suite. Oh my, what a beautiful set of products!! We're having a lot of fun!
This past weekend was Stampin' Up! OnStage at Home (our virtual "convention" if you will), and I was greatly inspired by one of our Demonstrators who showcased some fun ideas with a new product suite coming in the Spring Occasions catalog. But I took her idea, and headed straight for the Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper to try it out.
What a lot of folks may not realize is that I love to scrapbook; and my scrapbooking products of choice are, of course, Creative Memories. Marrying Creative Memories with Stampin' Up! products then is like pure Heaven for me!!
This layout showcases the gorgeous Winter Meadow DSP - one of the sheets lends itself to this design perfectly. I simply "fussy cut" the one corner of that design, and laid it on a Starry Sky 12" x 12" cardstock background (slightly trimmed to fit the Creative Memories album page), and created matted cardstock areas for the future pictures; and then played with the Magical Meadow stamp set and dies to create fun embellishing.
Isn't this fun? Our designer paper makes memory making and scrapbooking so easy!!! Especially some of that paper that you hate to cut up! Use it in your memory book instead!!
Some of you may not realize there is a new "resident" at DDS Studios. Sadie calls him an "illegal alien" who "crossed the border" -- but that's a story for another time!!! 🤣😂
Oscar got his "Permanent Resident Green Card" in July, much to Sadie's chagrin, so now DDS Studios has a cat along with the Dog!! WOW!!
Lately, Oscar has been making himself known around the Studio . . . and it's becoming harder and harder to get any work done!! LOL
Things are definitely getting interesting around here . . .
More antics later!!
I hope you have enjoyed today's little check in. We'll be back to share more fun with Winter Meadow a little later.
I Love to hear from you. Leave your questions or comments below!!
Hugs, . . .
