Stampin'Up promotion

As part of Stampin' Up!'s 25-year anniversary celebration, we're bringing back some of our favorite stamp images from the last quarter century and combining them into 12 sets, which will be released - one set per month - during 2013. Even better, along with some great classic images, each "Best of" set will also include a never-before-seen image!

• All Best of stamp sets will include 3-5 images, including a never-before seen image, and will be priced at $14.95.
• While we are releasing just one Best of stamp set per month (with a new theme each month), all of the Best of sets will be available until March 31, 2014.
• A new flyer will be released every month for each new Best of set.
• All Best of stamp sets are available in Clear-Mount only.

As a special incentive to collect the Best of stamps, starting in February we're including a collector's card and 25-year proof of purchase sticker with every Best of set. Collect six stickers, and send it in to redeem a FREE set of your choice valued up to $14.95! Free sets must be redeemed no later than April 30, 2014.

This was one of my stamp club projects.  I was really happy with the outcome.  Even better, I had a little time and actually came up with it myself.  We did the faux mother of pearl technique.  For the background I inked the embossing folder with Crumb Cake ink and some Early Espresso and ran it through the Big Shot machine.  I love the worn look it gives.

Supplies:  Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla and Certainly Celery cardstock.  Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Certainly Celery and Cherry Cobbler ink.  Antique brads, mini vintage tags, Hemp twine, 2 step bird punch, Finial press embossing folder, Fun flowers Bigz L die, frost shimmer paint, sponges

MDS Cowboy

I created this layout in MDS today.  It is inspired by Heather Summer's layout here.  I love MDS and wish I had more time to play with it.  I have A LOT of scrapping to do to catch up on 9 years worth of photos!  Gotta run....Happy creating.

Pop Can Hair Bows

I started making these pop can hair bows at Thanksgiving time to make a little extra cash.  I thought by not posting it on the blog that I was keeping a good secret, but today as I was browsing my favorites, I saw that someone had posted it on their blog as well as a video tutorial.  Anyway, I guess since the cat is out of the bag, I will show you my creations.  I still plan to sell them as I have fun making them.  Please give credit where credit is due if you do decide to create your own.  You can see some of my creations on my Facebook page here.  (The die I used with the Coke can in is retired).

If you are interested in buying some bows, please send me an email at emily_albrecht at hotmail dot com.  If you are interested in making your own, you can buy the supplies on my website at www.stamptimesomewhere.stampinup.net.  Right now Sale-A-Bration is going on and you could make a party out of buying the supplies, get free product plus SAB benefits.

The last of the MDS calendar

 This November page was also one I submitted for the MDS contest, but with just pictures of my family (bottom left corner as well as some others from that same day)

This December page was CASEd from one that was posted on the MDS website.  Again, not sure who, but a very talented person.  Whoever you are, thanks.

This was a fun project and Grandma loved it!  Thanks to all my extended family for all your help getting the pictures.
