Ruff Day Hug

Ever have those "ruff" days?  Today's hug is for those days.  This little dog will have anyone that is having a "ruff" day, have a smile on their face.  It's hard to see, but under the button it says, "Ruff day..."  Enjoy!

Just for you Hug

Today's "hug" can be used as a gift card holder too.  I cut the base of the card at 3 1/2 x 5, and folded it in the middle.  This time, instead of using the traditional card way, I just turned and made it more of a tent card.  Add a little strip of paper to the bottom of the inside and you have a cute little gift card holder for that special friend.

Missing You Hug

Today, I have a "hug" for you.  What is a "hug"?  I card is a hug with a fold in the middle.
Richard Garay from richardgaray.com coined the term hug a few years ago.  Basically it is a "mini" card.  The dimensions of the base are 3 1/2 x 5.  You then take this and fold it in half, and you have a "hug".  I love this image and wanted to make a cute little "hug" for a friend I was thinking about.  Enjoy!

FSJ Coach's Meeting

Yesterday we had our quarterly meeting for Fun Stampers Journey.  What a great day of getting updates, stamping some great samples and reconnecting with friends.  We are so excited to be able to offer a hostess set free to anyone that has a Journey Showcase in the month of July that reaches $300 or more in retail sales.  The coaches got the set and we created some samples.  Let me share a few:

All three cards were made with the same flower stamp that came from the Hostess set.  Three cards with the same image, just in different colors and arrangements.   I love the idea of making lots of different cards using just one stamp.  What a great way to make your supplies go farther.    I hope you like them.  There is more to come.

Interested in the above projects.  Message me and we can set up a Showcase for you!

Long time no blog

Can you believe that half of the year is over?  I have been busy with a few projects.  Let me show you....

I did an open house at my friend's house and these were the three projects we made.  All product and stamps are from Fun Stamper's Journey!

Then I got an order for "Beatles" notecards.  This is what I came up with after not finding anything in the way of paper in the scrapbooking world.  The music stamp is from Fun Stamper's Journey.  The pictures are from Google.

Then in June, I got to take a class with Julie Nutting and got to meet the talent herself.  She is amazing. She created the dolls that are on the tags above.  She draws them and then has stamps made for them.  They are fun and take you back to paper dolls when you were little.

Well, that's a little of what I have been doing.  Till next time....
