"Revised" Big Shot Boxes

By the time Jackie came to pick up these boxes, I had time to think and be a little more creative....so I added the little cards to match and the basketball buttons. Each box has chocolate basketballs inside.

Big Shot Boxes

A friend called this morning in urgent need of 3 gifts by noon...small gifts, for senior high boys. OMG I thought, what will I do? But things came together and I filled these boxes with chocolate basketballs and made name tags to match. No worries, they came out fine, kinda cool actually ( I was thinking "cute" but for guys they aren't "cute".

Simply Adorned Chain and Charm

This did not photograph well, maybe I can try something again. It is black and white, of course what else would you think I would try the first time. I used the charmed set of stamps and some embossing and the jewels. It is really prettier in real life. If you think you would be interested in a class for just this please let me know. I would like to know your thoughts.

Filing.....do I have to?

NOPE, Patti came over and filed my paper scraps for me. It had been over a year since I did any, wait, since she did it last..... It will cost me some cards and lots of chocolate, but I can handle that!!!!!!!!! Keep creating and dont worry about filing paper! Thanks Patti!

Valentine

We were invited to the neighbors for dinner and I couldn't go without a "little" gift. So a box of treats it is....

Covered Chipboard

I have all the pages covered with DSP, but that is as far as this project has gotten......

Movin Forward

One of the girls in my downline is celebrating a 1 year anniversary with Stampin Up today and I just wanted her to know how much I appreciate her by sending this card.

Hubby Valentine

So this is the card for my husband....I used a "n" from the chipboard alphabet and turned it upside down to make it a "u" after I sponged it with Craft Red Ink. The heart is from I heart hearts stamp set and the red corduroy button and DPS in Soft Suede. The edge is finished with the NEW scalloped edge punch.

Zebra Valentine

I am taking this to the gal who does my nails this week. I brought one in last week and she wanted to steal it from me, so this week she will have one too!!

Bird Punch

As I was preparing for the upcoming Stamp -A-Stack class in March, I had some peices of paper left that I couldn't throw away. So from that came this card. The new bird punch is so easy to use and you are able to make up a quick card. The stamp set is from Well Scripted and the paper is from the Write Stuff DSP. So if you like this paper, contact me at sinclairkw@aol.com and inquire about the March class.

This is a class being offered at my home on March 30th. Pre-order the stamp set Charming (item # 116519)and Soft Suede Ink and you can join me to make this box and the matching cards. I will provide everything else you need to complete this project. Class fee is $15.

Tess

I know your saying I have seen these before....your right, I got mail from BFF yesterday with this fabulous purse filled with Total Tess cards. You will see these at my class Tuesday if your joining me. The details are amazing, but that is a Becky trademark!

and then....notice the very cute little Valentine box above the cards....you can see those also on Tuesday because you will want to CASE them for sure. They are adorable! and very detailed!

A Little Surprise in the Mail....

Ok I dont know about you, but when I am shopping, I am always looking for something that I can incorporate my stamping with to make it a wow. So I found this box and the colors reminded me of my BFF So surprising her with a little mail was going to be my business! I wrapped this box with Choc Chip paper and decorated it....That simple!!! The idea came from Shelli during Leadership and I just made it as I went along and added this and that as I felt it needed something more. I loved how it came out and it was really fun. So you know what that means....you will see more of this style in another post.

DVD Photo Album

I made this gift for a friend. It is the metal DVD case covered in the Sweet Pea DSP and the clear envelopes hold the photos. Satin ribbon and buttons and brads always make a finishing touch.

Every Birthday Needs a Little Chocolate

Becky showing off her quilt square....if you are a quilter you may want to look into the Big Shot for saving you time in cutting out pieces.

Leadership 2010 Highlights

This was the stage and theme for Leadership...."love what you do", do that in all you do and life will be pretty darn good, don't you think!

This is Dawn, she is Stampin Up's Demonstrator of the Year. You can find her at Ustamp. And what a fun lady with lots of energy she is.....find her link on BFF's blog.

This is a piece of the Simply Adorned Charms found in the Occasions Mini Catalog......I will be ordering it for sure! What a great gift! Page 28

Leadership 2010

Dale shared a wonderful message with everyone. This company truly loves its demonstrators and puts them first in so many areas. We do love what we do! But Stampin Up makes it easy.

Shelli's demonstrations on stage are so inspiring and creative, its no wonder she is a success.

We were given quilt squares to use in our demonstrations, so Shelli shared ways to use them. The company made these for us and if you haven't noticed, we don't have sewing machines in the catalog....BUT the Big Shot is such a great tool for quilters, it cuts 8 pieces of fabric shapes at one time....

Coffee Chocolates

I covered this box of chocolates for Becky. They are in the shapes of coffee cups, so I just wanted one of them to show. So I punched the paper to line up with one. This is the NEW paper in the NEW mini catalog for Valentines.
