Creative Stamping & Scrapbooking By Kim

Sneak Peek of Open House Make and Take...

I am super excited for my upcoming OPEN HOUSE!  I am partnering with my friend/team member, Sharon.  We have a wonderful event planned for you and we have tons of samples to show you!

We just returned from convention with tons of creative inspiration to share!

I thought you might like a SNEAK PEEK of one of the Make and Takes that our open house guests will complete.

If you live in Portland, OR or the surrounding area and would like more information regarding this event, visit my calendar of events.

Are You Ready for the OPEN HOUSE BLOG TOUR?

 
Is this little house cute or what?

I learned how to create the house at a  RemARKable RAD Retreat that I attended in December.

Fellow RemARKable & RAD Attendee, Jill created the idea from a box of muffin mix she had purchased.  She created a pattern for the RAD attendees and we went to town creating themed houses!

There were so many wonderful houses created that we decided to share them with you...So, we are going to have an "OPEN HOUSE BLOG TOUR."

Be sure to check back February 4-6!

There will be an abundance of themed "HOUSE" ideas from my fellow RAD Retreat Attendees!

AND, after the tour each RAD achiever and myself will be offering a "House" class to our customers to learn how to create a basic box with cards.

The class will include the pattern for the house and an idea sheet compiled from the blog tour that will include photos of several different house ideas and more...

WOO HOO! 

Can you tell I'm excited!  It doesn't take much to excite me...a little house created with AWESOME Stampin' Up! product and a few cards and I am EXCITED!

I will be offering my WONDERFUL team of demonstrators an EXCLUSIVE House Class in February!  So, JOIN MY TEAM today, so you can be there too!  EMAIL ME for additional information.

NOTE:  The sample house pictured here was created using NEW products from the Occassions Mini Catalog.

SAVE THE DATE! OPEN HOUSE BLOG HOP!

SCRAPPIN' CLASS PROJECTS!

Recently I held my first MONTHLY Scrappin' Class and we had a WONDERFUL time!

The class will be held monthly and will feature a Stampin' Up! product that works great for scrapbooking.

The pages pictured here use the Sunshine Garden Scrappin' Kit featured on page 164 of the Spring-Summer Idea Book & Catalog.  I love how easy these pages came together with the great variety of product included in the kit.

 
 
I used the Big Shot to create this envelope using the Scallop Envelope Die (Page 196 of the Spring-Summer Idea Book & Catalog.)  The envelope makes a great JOURNALING POCKET!
