Summer Camps Ages 7-18

Hi Stampers!  Are you looking for a creative way for the young girl in your life to spend her summer?

How about registering her for one of my summer scrapbook camps.  I am offering two scrapbook camps for ages 7 to 10 and 11 to 13.  This give girls an opportunity to make two different scrapbooks if they would like to sign up for both camps.

I am also offering a scrapbook camp for High School Girls, Ages 14 to 18.


Girls signing up for more than one camp or sisters or friends that sign up together to attend the same camp are eligible for a discount.

This is a great way for girls to create a scrapbook to keep all their school or summer memories in.

In addition, to creating a great little scrapbook, girls will have an opportunity to learn about different scrapbooking and stamping equipment and how to use these pieces of equipment.

Maybe you have a creative guru on your hands and she wants more.  Take a look at my summer jewelry camps for girls ages 10 to 18.  Discounts also apply to these camps!

Stampin' Flower Fest

I love this new stamp set in the Summer Mini Catalog.  This may be my favorite stamp set of the year.  It is no secret that I love flowers and butterflies and this set has both! 

There are so many different things that can be done with these stamps, I think I will keep it forever. 

After stamping my images on paper I used the Watercolor Wonder Crayons and a blender pen to punch up the color on the card.  I think next time I am going to emboss the flowers and use an Aqua Painter to blend the colors giving it a more water colored look. Get this set and give it a whirl!

If you design a project with one of the stamp sets on any of my blogs and email me a photo of it to share with others I will mail you a stamp only demonstrators can buy, as a thank you!  This special will continue through May 31, 2011.

Stampin' Up! products I used on this card include:
  • Whisper White and Pretty in Pink Smooth Card Stock
  • Watercolor Wonder Crayons
  • Blender Pens
  • Rose Red, Pear Pizzazz, Peach Parfait and Basic Black Inks
  • Dimensionals
  • Flower Fest Stamp Set

Did you know that when a stamp image has a line around it, like many of the ones above, there is a punch Stampin' Up! sells that matches that shape.
This makes cutting images out so much easier!

Have fun and don't forget to email me photos of your projects!

Girl Scout Girtopia Scrapbook Pages

I am so proud of the girls in my Girls Scout Troop.  These young ladies have spent the year learning about female issues all over the world and how to become better woman and leaders.  This was all part of their Senior Girl Scout Journey "Girltopia".  The girls ended their program for the year by hosting an event for younger girls, ages 5 to 11.  They taught the younger girls about eating healthy, exercise through dance and games, skin care and beauty tips, and fun and stress reduction through song and scrapbooking. 

Each troop had a picture taken and then made either a blue or pink scrapbook page.  They then added their photo to the page as a memory of the day.  It was a wonderful day and the younger girls really enjoyed making these pages.  I think next to having their nails painted by high school girls, the scrapbook project was a favorite!

Girls you did a great job, you planned and held a wonderful event.



Stampin' Up! products the girls used on these pages include:
  • Night of Navy, Marina Mist, Pretty in Pink and Rose Red Inks
  • Basic Rhinestone and Pearl Jewels
  • Flight of the Butterfly Stamp Set
  • Vintage Vogue Stamp Set

Fun & Fast Notes Thank You

Today's "Design of the Day" is a quick little Thank You card.  I know many of you are looking for a stamp set that gives you the greatest options.  The stamp set I used today is great because it allows you to make, Birthday, Thank You, Thinking of You, Congratulation, New Baby, Wedding, Christmas and Get Well cards. 

WOW, that is just about everything.  This was one of my first stamp sets just for the reason that it is so versatile and if the versatility is not enough the art is also really cute.  Check it out!


On this card I used markers to color in the chick and flower. 
I then added a pearl and popped up the flower with a dimensional to snazze it up a little.
This was a fun card to make, give it a try.
