Blog under Construction

Hi everyone. I have been dealing with yet another family crisis for the past 2 months, but things are starting to settle down. I am in the process this week of restructuring my blog so that it is in compliance with Stampin' Up!'s new policies for demonstrators. Once I have fixed it up, I will be posting again.

In the meantime, check out my website for SU!'s current DEAL OF THE WEEK, which actually runs until 11 am on Oct. 12.

Hero Arts Card Set

I know I've been away a while, and I won't be back again until next week, but in the interim I have a cute set of cards I designed for class at BSS. The classes are done so I can post these now. The mini magazine file pattern was designed by Becky Roberts, and she has a great tutorial you can purchase for a small fee that includes the mini magazine file pattern.

I apologize for the quality of the photos, I had trouble with them being blurry. They also came out green, but I was able to fix that in GIMP.







The adorable trees are a set of 3 from Hero Arts, and the patterned paper collection is Bloom & Grow from my Mind's Eye.

Su has a really great tree set (Trendy Trees) that you can substitute for the hero arts Trees. You can order it from SU! website online.

Thanks for stopping by- I will be working on projects with new SU! products this week and will post them when I get back.

Deal of the Week

SPCA - Free and Quick - please do it

Hi, all you animal lovers!

This is pretty simple... Please tell ten friends to each tell a further ten today!

The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily so they can meet their quota of getting free food donated every day to abused and neglected animals. It takes less than a minute (about 15 seconds) to go to their site and click on the purple box 'fund food for animals for free'. This doesn't cost you a thing.

Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising.

Here's the web site! Please pass it along to people you know.
http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/

(I've added a button to my blog, below right under the button you can click to help fund free mamograms, so you can click every day!)

AGAIN, PLEASE TELL 10 FRIENDS!

Very last Chance for SU! retired items!!

The retiring items from SU! will only be available for a couple more days! The retired accessories list (see the next post) has just been updated. Hopefully I didn't miss anything.

Sorry I have not been blogging. Both of our vehicles broke down within a day of each other. That was almost 3 weeks ago, and we are still trying to get things fixed/find new vehicles, and borrow transportation, so it's been extra busy around here. Not to mention school ending, moving up ceremony for Lucas, etc. Y'know- all the important family stuff that takes up all your time. I'll get caught up soon, though, I promise!


Oh, and I almost forgot (CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT??)............


are you ready for this???

THE NEW CATALOGS ARE HERE!! yay!

call or e-mail me if you want one (inkerbel@hotmail.com)


Love & Hugs,

Laura

New Projects for June

Just a quick update- I have the new project buttons for June up. You can find them on the left hand side of my blog. Click the picture of the project you want to see and it will take you to the directions.

I'm going to CKC at the Buffalo Convention Center this afternoon. Sadly, I only have half a day to spend there. All the better for my pocketbook, I suppose. I didn't get to take any classes this year, not even Carrie's book class (sniff, sniff). I really can't complain, I DO get to take a class from Michelle Zindorf in just 3 short weeks with my friend Claudia. I'm so excited, I just can't wait!! I'll probably be making brayered cards all summer long. You can expect to see a class on the Zindorf technique at BSS early this fall, too.

I'll be back later this eveing with an update on the show and some pictures.

Stay tuned!

SU jewelry- this is so cool!

Wow- I can't beleive CKC Buffalo is almost here and I still have tons of pictures from last month to post. Here is something really fun. I was at the SCS gathering last month and when I saw Kelly with her homemade SU! "jewelry" on I just had to introduce myself and take her picture.
Kelly made her earrings, necklace/nametag and bracelet out of SU! cardstock, punches and accessories. What do you think? I thought her creations were SO clever:

Below is a picture of my friends Claudia and Lizz at the gathering, and below that is a close-up of Lizzy's can't-miss nametag!



Sorry I haven't been around much. Some very serious stuff is going on in my life right now concerning my youngest son and it takes precedence over all else. It has taken up huge chunks of my time over the last week + and we are trying to get it all sorted out as best we can. Feel free to say some prayers for us that things will work out and especially for me to have the strength and wisdom to make the best decisions I can for Loren.

Thanks!

Laura
