Ciao Bella,

           I have a treat for you ….If you live in the Georgia Coastal Low Land area….. On November 5th, I am having a Holiday stamp camp …..I'm still working on the details ….and next week some time I will have it ALL for you …..but today I thought I would share a sneak peek …of my favorite project….. a Tri-Flip-Fold scrapbook…..

I love Morning Mocha Designer Series Paper…..I also love how this album has a Christmas feel without screaming Christmas…..perfect for gift giving…….

are you ready to see a sneak peek of some of the page layouts?……. 

In this Holiday Extravaganza…..everything will be cut and scored for you….with a packet of direction with Photos of every layout …..and there are 14 layouts…..and notice …there isn't any bling … you will get your own set of bling …..to do or place where ever YOU want…..I will have a sample of this book with bling at the camp …for those who would rather not have to think…..I like to give every one their choice of personalization ….

So be on the look out for more pictures of different projects and the other good stuff …..

Petite Pocket Memory Book

Ciao Bella,

              Look what I have for you today…….

isn't it just darling ….. and yes i went a little overboard with the ribbon….. It is a Memory Book made with the Petite Pockets die and Creative Elements Stamp Set ….. Each Page is made of one Pocket ….so there is plenty of room to keep small mementos…..leaves, rocks, lock of hair, ticket stubs…what ever…

Don't you just love this flower from creative elements set….I just love it stamped in daffodil delight , a pumpkin pie brad in the middle, set against the Cherry Cobbler…really gives it a 3-d look…..

There is plenty of room for pictures and journaling……. Of course there is my favorite blue Island Indigo… I couldn't not use it …..

It was really easy to make … I just Die cut all the envelopes from the petite pocket die …. Decorated them first ….that's the key… then attached them to one another with just a tiny bit of Sticky Strip …to make sure they stayed lined up… while I punched a whole with my crop a dile for the ribbon…..easy peasy …..

On another note I want to thank all of you for your kind notes and personal stories of having Sept 11 being a personal special day and how you cope with both ….. I am compiling them to give to my friend …..Thanks so much …..

If you have any questions … I'm always available ….. Sherry@sherrystampinbella.com

Where’s my Morning Cup?

Ciao Bella,

            It's Saturday and you know what that means ….. time to mow the lawn and get a few weekend chores done …. then it's time to get our SILLY on …..and I have a couple of ideas floating in my head for later today…but for now … it's 6am… and I'll I can think of is where's my morning cup of coffee…..

I know I'll Be drinking this later ….. it's still hot here in Georgia…It's Ice Coffee…..This little Single serve packets, are twice as big as the normal little single serve tube packet thing-ies….But it fits Perfectly into the new Petite Pocket ….What a perfect little gift or thank you for the coffee lover in your life….and so Simple to make …..all I did was run my card stock through the Petite Pocket Bigz Die, Stamp the background image, and fold up the pocket with Sticky Strip… then I stamped the coffee pot image and fussy cut it out and layered on to the ovals…. Wrapped the Cherry Cobbler striped ribbon around the pocket…..added the coffee pot layers … then stamp the Sentiments, punched it out and glued that on … and that's it you are done…..

Super fast and easy…..

I would love to show you and you friends how to make this …It is a perfect project for a girls night out…To schedule your evening of fun… just email me at sherry@sherrystampinbella.com

Now go get your silly on ….

Have a great weekend ….

Monogram Suite is Simple Sweet

Ciao Bella,

         I tried several times yesterday to post but for some reason ….it just wouldn't take …. I figured my blog new it was Labor Day and was not going to do any labor…..

What I want to share today …..is the exact reason why I make cards…I received this card in a swap from the Charlotte Regional Stampin Up training…..

Joyce G. a sister demo, gave this card as her swap …..super  simple and Elegant …..but that's not the reason …. The reason I'm sharing is … instead of making all the cards the same in the swap … Joyce took the time and using the Stamp Set Monogram Suite, put every person who was in the swap , letter of their name as the focal point …It made me feel a little special that she would take that time to do that ….So that's the reason I make cards and gifts… to make someone else feel a little Special ….

Joyce also went over the top and gave each one of us …..this

This really cute treat pouch…..again super simple … but a big impact …..So I just have to Thank You to Joyce… In a day filled with surprises she stood out …..

Since I like this so card So Much ….. I'm think of either having one similar either in workshop or as a Personalized Stationary Class…..but I can't decide…..

So please email me at Sherry@sherrystampinbella.com or leave a comment and tell me what you prefer at Personalized stationary Class…( great for Christmas gift giving) or see it in a workshop …..Either way I will make it happen …..

Simply Embossed and Adorned

Ciao Bella,

       Oh what a busy day , today is going to be,… starting with my son's Traditional Senior Breakfast…and parents have to attend…..at 7AM….. it too early for me …..I really hope they don't expect me to be a willing participant at that early hour…lol

  After that…I'm going to do some more creating …I have a few ideas to work out …yesterday … I decided that since I was going to the Stampin Up"s regional training, next week, I thought I would break out my 2' x 1 1/2' Simply Adorned Charm …and yes I'm still embossing everything ….

Where there is ink …it is heat embossed with clear embossing power…I used the Charming Stamp Set for all those images… This set is really perfect for creating inserts for the Simply Adorned charms…

I also used some Pool Party Designer Series Paper, actually just some scraps I had laying around.. Designer Jewels Pearls, the new Mini Brads, some Victoria Lace and Baja Breeze seam binding ribbon ….There is also a Paper Daisy, and mini safety pin ….can you believe I got all that in there ….. 

Now on the Backside … the same Charming Stamp Set …all embossed….This side is a little more simple…because you can only fit so much in the charm, otherwise it wont close…The background is stamped with Island Indigo and embossed with clear embossing powder ….Don't you just love how Cherry Cobbler pops against pink pirouette….and of course i had to add the rhinestones and pearls …..

Ok I gotta run ….. Senior Breakfast …If you have any question or would like to purchase any of the supplies for today project … either click my shop now button or email me at Sherry@sherrystampinbella.com

See you tomorrow

Paisley Petals all Locked Up

Ciao Bella,

    Stampin Up just had their convention last …..and you know, I didn't go …but I did have a Convention Buddie, Lucia.   A convention buddy takes notes and pictures for you as well as the SHOPPING….And She did an awesome job …she was able to get everything on my list …plus a gift or two …..I can't thank her enough….

So last night … we met up for our monthly get together…..So to say THANK YOU !!! For doing an awesome job…I made her these little gifts….

I first covered a ugly little bank, that I picked up in Italy…just for this purpose…to be covered …Anyway, the bank is to remind her to save her pennies so we can go together next year, and a mini notebook to keep track of all the change she collects…..

** Here's a fun fact… Did you know that if you filled a 16 oz plastic water bottle with only dimes, when it is full you will have $300.oo … wow…so I'll I need to to is fill 2 of those and my plane ticket will be paid for next year..**

Ok … Lucia's favorite Designer Series Paper is Paisley Petals and her favorite color is cherry cobbler …so of course I had to use that to cover the bank and make the notebook….The flower stamped Images, are from the New Button Buddies set….. I just Love this set ….Next week …I will be featuring this set …..

Well I'm so ready for the weekend …TGIF…..As always if you have any questions or comment email me at Sherry@sherrystampinbella.com    or if you would like to purchase anything, I have showed you … that email works for that too….

Journals For Stampin Up Convention

Ciao Bella,

 I have a sort of treat for you today ….. My Sister Demo asked me to make her some 5 x 5 journals for gifts, for when she goes to Stampin Up's convention this week… well When I was finished … I forgot to take pictures to show you …..But what I do Have is design pictures …from the emails as I was creating them ….. these are not the complete finished project… but you get the idea and I still think they look pretty cool ….. So please excuse the back ground and quickie photography…..

This first one uses the Paisley Petals designer series paper and the sentiment is from On the grow from the summer Mini catty… 

And those gorgeous Blues are… Island Indigo and Pool party … this years NEW IN COLORS

Don't you just love those Blues… who knew back in April or was it May when Stampin Up was giving the Sneak Peek at this paper that we would also be getting a sneak Peek at the New In Colors …

When it was all said and done this one had some sponging and decorative pearls added….

This one was actually a reject because well it was nice but just didn't have that WOW effect we were looking for …..

  This one … the Calypso Coral … Just didn't seem to work and this one was rejected as well….. Well it was Ok… but there just wasn't enough of the Calypso Coral in the Designer Series Paper…and it seems just a little Too bright ….

So What I ended up with was the punched strip under the label being Cherry Cobbler… Of course …I forgot to take a picture… but take my word… it was stunning and defiantly a WOW…..

These were so simple but stunning and perfect for a gift or summer travel log…Oh you know what… They would be perfect for somebody to document a segment of there life … like maybe a High School Senior …the pages inside are made of cardstock so they are sturdy enough and perfect for scrapbooking.

If you would like to learn to make on of these , I would be more than happy to show you … just Email me at Sherry@Sherrystampinbella.com and we will get started right way…

Ciao Bella,

      I'm really loving this years New In Colors,…Pool Party, Calypso Coral, Lucky Limeade,Wisteria Wonder, and Island Indigo..It was funny… when I first saw them … I wasn't that thrilled … and now I keep finding my self reaching for them and the best part about the In Colors is they are around for 2 years…and they coordinate with last years In Colors to create the new Vibrant Color Palette….

The Blues on this Decorated Notebook are Island Indigo and Pool Party ….Now the designer Series Paper was from the Occasions Mini catty and is now retired but It is funny how the new 2011 In colors Match that paper … I was like a sneak peak that we didn't realize back then …lol

Afterthoughts

Ciao Bella,

     Here is the next fun treat I will be offering at my booth at the St Marys 4th of July Festival

These were so fun to make …..all punches and big shot …my kind of cutting…..and I used the stamp set Perfect Words ……

here is a close up , aren't they just fun and pretty…great little gifts for just about anything…..

I have to admit these three here are my favorite ,,, and I used the stamp set Afterthoughts …..I just love both of these sets … they have perfect sentiments for every occasion without being "too much" or too "kiddie"…..

I have to thank my son Patrick for filling the bags for me …..Funny thing is I was just going to leave them random M&Ms in the bags… after he filled them all ..he can to me and said .."Mom I got bored, so I played around with the colors in the bags "   By doing that I think some came out extra cute … Thanks Patrick …..by the way… Patrick is 15 and wore food handlers gloves …what a sport…..

If you have any question or would like to purchase either of these stamp sets … just email me at sherry@sherrystampinbella.com
