I LOVE stamp camps!

I haven't done a stamp camp since I moved back to Arizona and I have missed them! Camps are one of my all time favorite things to do. I love getting together with my stampin friends and just crafting all day! Camps are also where we get to do bigger more involved projects than just cards or scrap pages.
This is one of the projects we will be doing tomorrow. The block is from the Decor blocks that Stampin' Up! sells. They come in a set of four, but I thought this was a fun and cute idea to use them independently. I used the new newsprint DSP to cover the block and then used the Big Shot to cut out LOVE. I kept my color scheme to black and white with just the pop of red here and there. The photo holder is made from 14 gauge wire I picked up at Home depot. I used wire cutters and pliers to bend them into the shape I wanted and then hot glued it to the top. I hope my campers like this project!!

Bradley

Sunday, my best friend died. My sweetheart of 20 years died suddenly from diabetes. We didn't know he had diabetes. It came quick and took him from me. Brad was more than just my husband, he was my best friend. I relied so very much on his strength to guide me and my children through this life. I admit I feel a bit lost without him, already. I had planned on much, much more time with him. Brad and I met on January 28th, 1989. We were both at a nightclub for under age night with our friends that had dragged us there. We were both ready to leave when we were talked into one more dance. That dance changed our lives. We hit it off right away and danced the rest of the night. In face, we were together from then on. I remember that after that night, I waited all day for his call. It was love right away for me. I felt something I had never felt before and knew that he was the one for me. We dated for six months before Brad went to Texas to go to school. We talked a lot on the phone, and I...

Doubles with candy!!

Today is another fun summer day at my house. The kids are running here and there and I'm just trying to keep up. I realized I hadn't sent out Father's day cards yet, so that is what I worked on today. I tried to keep these nice and clean and manly. I remember going to a demonstration at a Stampin' Up! convention years ago where Kevin Theeson and another guy(I forget his name....) talked about 'manly' cards. One of the things they stressed was that guys don't like cards made with pastel cards. They prefer bold bright and earth element colors. I'm not sure if they suggested we stay away from florals too, but I kind of figured that was a safe idea. ;o) For this card I started with some textured Wild Wasabi cardstock cut to 10-1/2 x 5-1/4. That gave me a 5-1/4" card when folded. The striped paper across the center is from a retired SU simply scrappin kit...primary colors I think it was called. I added a strip of Real Red to each side of the stripes for...
