Hi Everyone!

I hope that you had a wonderful Christmas and New Years!!!

The Scrapbook Room of Dreams!

While I was out for Leadership Conference in Arizona, I visited with my aunt who lives in Fountain Hills! Well…. my aunt turned scrapbooker about 8 years ago when she came down to New York to visit my mom and I… she's been longing for a Scrapbook Room of her own, and is the perfect example of good things come to those who wait! My uncle finally caved and gave her the go ahead to have their guest room re-modled and turned into a Scrapbook Room! Here are some photos!

Don't you just love the colors that she choose!? I just adore the lights, too!

She ordered this Decor Element, and had me put it up for her as soon as I got there. I just love how it looks over her shelves! The perfect choice!

She's used lots of wonderful baskets, bins and jars to organize all of her supplies on this cube shelving unit…

The desk pulls out to triple it's length for when she's actually working, and are glass top so clear images when stamping aren't an issue!

She has this big closet that takes up an entire wall that is made of sliding mirrors. She didn't like the mirrors for a Scrapbook Room, so got creative and hung these sliding shades over them…

When you slide them open, you can see where she has lots more storage for supplies!

Jackson’s Photo Board & Giveaway!

As I had shared earlier this week, my newest nephew, Jackson, has been welcomed into the world! I knew that I needed to get a new blog post up for you all, I've been wanting to play with some new products in the upcoming Mini, and I also wanted to do something crafty for Jackson's arrival — so rolling all of those into one, I made up these Photo Boards as gifts for my brother and sister-in-law and the grandparents…

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

• Did you know that Stampin' Up! sells 3 different types of plain chipboard boards? They are wonderful for making keepsake scrapbook pages such as this one. I mounted everything onto one of our 9" x 9" OnBoard Chipboard Boards.
• The little flourish accent actually comes from the "Dry Goods" Decor Elements that you can receive for FREE as a Hostess at the 1st Level! I had a couple of these on hand and haven't used them for the jars, so decided too cut them apart and just use the motifs. My plan is to cut letters out of the words for another project later on.
• Our 1/2" Library Clips are perfect for 3-D projects such as this. They're a bit large, so they can be too much for a scrapbook page protector or to mail — but they work fabulously for things such as this!
• The "beautiful little baby" stamp was stamped on a piece of our wide Twill Tape using Chocolate Chip Craft Ink! Craft Inks are perfect for stamping on cloth and fabric – and as long as your images aren't too detailed, it looks great!

This is one other version of the board that I did…

The stamp that I used for this project, "Beautiful Little Baby" is one of the individual stamps on our under $10 page. BUT – this particular one isn't featured in our Current Catalog – it has been on our Dormant List and will be saying a fond farewell! Be sure to order this delightful image before it is gone forever on January 4th!

I cut out the letters to spell out "Jackson" from the Simple Letters Big Shot Die Set – a Stampin' Up! Exclusive! Be sure to order this die set before January 4th so that you can receive a FREE Decor Element with purchase as part of our Holiday Gift Giving Guide Promotion!

I normally like to die cut my letters out of chipboard, but because of the accessories that I wanted to use (such as the Mini Library Clips) – they wouldn't have laid flat had I done that. So instead I propped up all of the letters on Stampin' Dimensionals that I had cut in half. TIP: If you're going to need a lot of half sized Stampin' Dimensionals, try cutting them while they're on the sheet, it's much easier to use! Here's what I mean…

WHAT TO ORDER:

Alphabet Simple Letters Bigz Die (115960), Beautiful Baby Stamp (114492), Book Basics Large OnBoard (110713), Chocolate Chip Craft Ink (101816), 1/2" Library Clips (112581), Mini Library Clips (109857), Styled Vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware (112454), Kraft Corduroy Buttons (114340), Chocolate Chip 1/4" Ribbon (111367), Very Vanilla 1/4" Ribbon (109026), Twill Tape (105245), Chocolate Chip 1 1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon, 1/2" Circle Punch (104390), 3/4" Circle Punch (107217), Decor Applicator (114285), Dry Goods Decor Elements (Level 1 Hostess Exclusive!), Stampin' Dimensionals (104430), Tombow Multipurpose Adhesive (110755), Sweet Pea Designer Series Paper (COMING SOON!) and Sweet Pea Felt (COMING SOON!)

Decor Stamp Pails

I made these little pails for my Free Class Night last week for ladies who came and brought along a friend who has never stamped with me before! Most of the items you'll see here are Exclusive Demonstrator Only products (one of the perks of joining the family, ask me how!) but you can create something along the same lines!

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

• Decor Elements are fabulous vinyl images that don't have to go just on walls! Putting one on a little pail like this is a way to add an embellishment to any 3-D surface.
• Attaching buttons or other accessories to your vinyl images is a great way to add even more interest, just use a Mini Glue Dot as your adhesive!
• To add my colored strips of cardstock, I actually punched out a tag punch out in that color and not just the white, then I tore off the strip I needed. Then, you're sure to have a strip of cardstock that lines up perfectly with your corners!
• We don't carry the Basic Black Stampin' Spots for Customer purchase (sorry!) these are a Demonstrator Only item – but if you wanted to make this gift for a stamping friend, you could use any colored Stampin' Spot that we carry in our 48 main colors.
• The stamp image her is an Incentive Stamp that is another Demonstrator Only item – but you could use any small stamp. "Holiday Blitz" would be a fabulous alternative, and you could get 28 gifts from one set!
• The flower Decor Element is also a Demonstrator Only item – purchase Ginourmous Flowers II as an alternative!

WHAT TO ORDER:

Decor Element of Choice (Ginormous Flowers II – 114863), Stampin' Spot of Choice (Bold Brights – 105550, Earth Elements – 105551, Rich Regals – 105552 and Soft Subtles – 105553), Mini Stamp Set of Choice (Holiday Blitz – 114982), Whisper White Cardstock (100730), Basic Black Classic Ink (101179), Almost Amethyst Cardstock (102158), Regal Rose Cardstock (105130), Small Flat Cello Bags (103104), Playground Designer Buttons (116313), Sherbet Designer Buttons (116312), Bashful Blue 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon (109029), Old Olive 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon (111368), Crop-A-Dile (108362), Mini Glue Dot (103683) and Decor Element Applicator (114285)
