Cards for Nicole's Calendar Book

Ok, this has taken me a while to get done. I finally got 12 cards made to go into Nicole's calendar. I have a hard time trying to make a bunch of different cards at the same time. I am much better only having to concentrate on a smaller amount. I used the same paper for the cards that I used for the calendar book. I used the Priceless Stamp Set, For a Friend, So Many Scallops, and Birthday Whimsy from SU! I am very much considering doing this for a class.

New Header

Hey everyone! What do you think of my new banner? A very nice lady that just became a Stampin' Up! demonstrator made it for me. I love it! Thanks so much, Julie, for making my blog look different from the others. If any of you are interested in having a banner made for your blog you can write to inkedujour@gmail.com. You can tell her you found out about her from my blog. Thanks so much again, Julie.

Waterfall Card

My friend, Heidi, made a waterfall card, of which I was supposed to have made one a long time ago. Once again, there goes my procrastination problem. I finally sat down this evening and made one. I made mine from the same tutorial Heidi used. I changed all of the supplies to make it though.

Here is the items I used to make this card (Stampin' Up!).

Paper: DSP Berry Bliss, Purely Pomegranate, and Whisper White

Accessories: Brads, Pretty in Pink ribbon, Pretty in Pink stamp pad.

If interested in seeing how this is done you can find the tutorial by going to Heidi's blog. She has a link for it there.

Nicole's Calendar

I wanted to get this on here right away. I am so very pleased with how it turned out. I hope my daughter will feel the same way. She was just recently married and I thought making this will help her remember when everyone's birthdays and anniversaries are.

I found this on another ladies blog and knew right away this was what I wanted to make for Nicole.

I used the following items to make this book:

Stampin' Up! products unless noted

Paper: DSP Berry Bliss, Whisper White, Purely Pomegranate, Pretty in Pink
Tools: Scallop punch, Boho Blossoms punch, Circle punch 1 3/8", Circle Rhinestone brads (Fire),

White gel pen, 1/16 hole punch, Bind-it-All machine

Misc.: Computer to print the cover words, and for the monthly calendars on the inside pages.

Double Pocket Card

I really liked the Double Pocket Card I seen people were making on Sudsol. I decided I would try and make one myself. I think I would change how I put the little insert cards next time around, but it was a fun project to make. Next one I make I want to have the double pockets on the front of the card, instead of being inside.

Materials used are Stampin' Up!

Stamp Set: Priceless

Paper: DSP Le Jardin, So Saffron, Bashful Blue, Very Vanilla

Pocket Pouches

I was able to teach some women at a Mother/Daughter Banquet a project that is very easy to do. The women all seemed to love it. A lot of them were going to make them at home and use them for different purposes. I taught this because it is something anyone can make and give.

I finally got my recipe box made. I love how it turned out. My daughter even really likes it, which that is a real compliment.

This is what I used to make this project, of which, I used all Stampin' Up materials.
