Hello,
It's a brand new year and I have great ambitions. I just hope my ambitions aren't too big for me to accomplish. Starting in February, every Tuesday night will feature a different event. My plan at the moment is to have the first Tuesday be a Card class. I will design three different cards for you to make. All supplies included as you have been used to. Just bring your class tool kit with you. Classes will be $10.00 each. Pictures of projects may or may not be on my blog in advance. Those of you that have taken my classes know the quality of projects I plan. The second Tuesday of the month will be Technique Tuesday Night. I will plan a stamping technique to teach you. You will make a project using that technique and then have time to make more projects using the technique or finish the evening making whatever projects you would like. Technique Tuesday cost is $5.00. The third Tuesday will be a Project class night. I have several new projects I have designed and want to share with you. Class fee will vary depending on the project. Photos of these projects should be featured on my blog. The fourth Tuesday of the month will be Open House Project night. This will replace Expresso Yourself night by name only. It seemed the name was confusing people. You come and make whatever project you would like. See side-bar for more information. Fee is $5.00..
I do ask that you RSVP in advance for all events so that I have enough materials, class kits and space available. The class calendar will have RSVP dates.
As I said I have great ambitions. Looking forward to sharing new ideas and seeing all of you.
Blessings, Diane
Love You Much
Hello,
Stampin' Up! has a delightful new stamp set called "Love You Much". Check side-bar for link to see special. I will be having a card class featuring this stamp set. The first card displayed is using some of the new Candy Land paper. A package of the Candy Land paper does come in the kit. You will be able to order just the paper pack when the new catalog is unvailed. I love the punch you can purchase. It punches out three heart at once that align with the stamped image. This card will be a project for my upcoming class. I will be using a different patterned paper for the project though. The second card featured is a card that we will be making in class also. I love the tri-fold opening and the long card will fit into a No. 10 envelope. I am still working on the third
project for the class.
Class information can be found on calendar.

New Clear Stamp Find
Hello,
I LOVE my Stampin' UP! stamps. Sometimes though you just come accross other stamps you also want to add to your over abundant collection.
I found these really cute stamps at Joann's the other day. They cost only $1.00 each. I have seen such an improvement in design in the dollar stamps over the past couple of years. At first they were so basic I thought a kindergartner had drawn some. Now look at the beautiful designs these have. I absolutely love the KISS anytime ticket. I will be making one up for my hubby to redeem anytime he likes. Enjoy!

Falling 4 You Flap Book Album
Hello,
Todays project was one featured in the Love Notes 3 book by Pinecone Press. Deb Jennis designed the book and I liked it so much I had to make one myself. I really like making these Flap Books. You can be very creative with decorating them, adding extra flaps and pockets to them. They make a wonderful small album that is great for photos of a special event for yourself or to give someone. The paper used is all a new design from Pinecone Press.
Would you like to have one for yourself. I will be hosting a class for this project Saturday, January 31st. 10:30 a.m. Class Fee $15.00. See calendar for more details.
Enjoy!
This picture shows a side view of the above right flap closed. See how another flap was created on the page.
This picture shows the above right flap closed. As you see you decorated each side of the end flap that closes inside the book.
This picture show the above right flap closed. A pocket was created to hold pages you can pull out scraped with photos or journaling. A great place to also fill with tickets to an event. If you would like to purchase a kit visit PineCone Press Design.

Flutterby - Chipboard Album
Hello,
I love today's project. I designed this project at work. It makes me feel like Spring is here. The flower, ladybug and butterfly decorated with such bright colors are a delight to look at.
Let me know what you think. Enjoy!
I wanted to do something fun with the flower on the front of the flower shaped board. so I made a mini album that is a four circle according piece that slides on the ribbon sandwiched between the flower icon and the circle. How cool is that. To make the mini circle album I cut out one circle the size I wanted. This one is 2 1/2" in diamiter. I then got a piece of scrap paper to make a pattern. I put the circle on the scrap paper and traced outside the template. I then moved my template so the edge of the circles overlapped just a little bit and traced another circle. I continued till I had made four joining circles. I cut out this patten and placed onto my printed cardstock and cut out my now long adjoining circles. How totally cool! The ribbon that is behind the last circle attatched to the book does not slide.
I could not resist making wings for my ladybug. I love interactive projects. It also gives you much more space to add more photos. You can purchase the chipboard blank album. It includes one each of the flower, ladybug, and butterfly chipboard blank with the rings. You can also purchase the entire kit with the chipboard blank album and the decorative papers They are very reasonably priced. The project is decorated with Pinecone Press newly released "Flutterby" cardstock. All cardstock is double-sided printed. If you would like to purchase a kit visit PineCone Press Design.

Boy's Toys - Chipboard Album
Hello,
I finally have a finished project to share. It gave me a great opportunity to use my new camera. I bought myself a really nice camera for my 50th birthday in Sept. The camera has more buttons and features than I have had time to figure out. The tripod for my camera will be here this week. My son, Kevin took these pictures for me. I would have liked a little more depth to them. He says a little more lighting is needed. A little more lighting will be addded to the next photo shoot. The next couple of days photos were all shot at the same time so, I will settle with some depth of field issues. Here is a fun project I made. I designed the shapes myself and cut them from chipboard. At work we are working on a new book that is filled with Word and Shape albums. I made this one to contribute to the book. I also designed another fun shaped book that was featured in the book. (Picture will be displayed later this week) That project was made into a product line available for sale. I think this project will also be made into a product line available for sale. We're working on a couple more ideas also. We thought it would be a great idea to have chipboard albums that have different shapes with a theme to them. I titled this one "Boys Toys", featuring shapes of toys that little boys like to play with. I am so pleased with how it turned out. Please feel free to let me know what you think.
Supplies:
Cardstock: Colorbok - Wal-Mart
Pattern paper: Colorbok ,DCWV Stack 6
Stickers: Cloud9 Design, K&Company
Ribbon: Pinecone Press
Ink: Stampin' Up!

If you have time take a look.
Chillin' Star Card A project I designed and the company I work for. We now have this as a product we sell.

Gift Bag Purse and cards I had so much fun making the Gift Bag Purses shown here. They are so nice filled with matching note cards.
Designer Purse Bag and Matching 3 x 3 cards Another purse bag and cards that are so sweet.
Sweet Treat Containers One of my favorite projects to make are boxes and baskets.
Carousel notes afternoon tea purse album These were so popular and I still see some being made. Just holding this album made me feel like a lady. How sweet, a album that looks like a purse filled with pictures of your favorite friends.
I am sure this is enough down memory lane. Hope you had time to take the trip with me.
I have been for days wanting to get some new pictues taken to share with you. I must make a goal for tomorrow to share a really special project I made.

Yippee! New computer stuff.
Hello,
I am having some MEGA sized memory added to my computer. My son checked my computer and I had next to no memory left so I asked what we should do. Ever heard of a Terabyte? Neither had I a few days ago. That is how much memory I am having added to my computer. To get an idea of the capacity of a terabyte, consider the common megabyte (MB). Just over thousand megabytes equals one gigabyte, but just over one million megabytes equals a terabyte!
1,024 megabytes = 1 gigabyte
1,024 gigabytes = 1 terabyte
One terabyte is a trillion bytes (characters) which is also 1000 gigabytes. Or if you prefer, 1 TB = 1000 GB. So how much storage is that, really? Let's do some comparisons... 1 GB of memory is the equivalent of 500,000 typewritten pages, or about one pickup truck of books. So you could say that a terabyte is a thousand librarians driving Ford F150's stacked with literature.
Or in digital terms... the biggest iPod Classic stores 160GB, or about 40,000 songs. Six of those iPods would hold almost one terabyte, enough space to store a quarter-million songs. If you had a shiny new 1-terabtye hard drive, you could stash 300 feature length films, or 40,000 faxes on it. But you'd need 20 of those 1 TB drives to hold the entire print collection of the U.S. Library of Congress.
Like I said, MEGA sized memory. My son helped me pick out what I needed. He thinks I am nuts to add so much memory but the price was to good to pass up. I will be able to have tons of graphics, pictures, music and more stored onto my computer. I also had some RAM added to help my computer fun faster. I need speed to get my work done. If this upgrade of RAM isn't enough I can add some more.
It takes a few hours for the new hard drive to be formatted so I cannot load the pictures of the class projects till later.

Gift Card Holder. Goody/Spa Holder. Slider Card Class
Hello,
I have one final class scheduled before Christmas. You will be making a super cute four pocket gift card holder. A great packaging idea for someone you want to give a variety of gift cards to. WHO would you give so many to you ask. How about a teenager or a child that recently moved to live on their own. Fill with cards for the movies, favorite food place, movie rental place, grocery store, Target, clothing store. Make a Goody/Spa holder. Same as the gift card holder but much larger in size. This has pockets large enough to hold cocoa and spiced cider packets, bath salts or potpourri packets. You can even make your own envelopes to fill with your own bath salt creations or a special cookie. You will also make an adorable slider card that you put your message on one side and attach a gift card to the other.
Class information.
Date: December 9th
Time: 6:30 - 9:00 pm
Cost: $12.00
Bring your class supply kit
Please e-mail or call to save your space.

Another Expresso Yourself Night added to calendar
Hello,
Due to popular request I have added another Expresso Yourself Night to the calendar.
Tuesday, Dec. 2nd will be the last one until January. Come and work on some last minute holiday gift projects. I have recently purchased another Big Shot die cutter so more of you can use one at a time. I have also purchased a few more dies for you to use.
Starting in January I am planning to have a Tuesday technique night during Expresso Yourself night. I will teach you a fun technique that you can use on your papercraft projects and you will also have the opportunity to make a project using the technique.
Looking forward to the new year and some new ideas come.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day. Blessings, Diane

Almost Thanksgiving Day
Hello,
I can hardly believe that Thanksgiving Day is almost here. I bought my turkey this weekend and it is now thawing. I am looking forward to all the delicious food prepared for the day. As I prepare for the day with shopping for food, I am reminded of the Thanksgiving meals my parents prepared for the family. My dad was always up early to cook the turkey. It was always daddys job to cook the turkey. He also peeled lots of potatoes for mashed potatoes. My mom would be busy making apple and pumpkin pies. Oh, the aroma of all the food cooking. My mom also put together a relish try of green olives with the red pimento in the center. I never did acquire a taste for those. She also added sweet pickle jerkins, dill pickles and black olives. The black olives were my favorite. When no one was looking I would sneak a couple of the black olives. Well, after a few trips of sneaking there weren't too many olives left. Mom, must of guessed my desire for those olives as when dinner was set the tray was again filled with olives.
I enjoy reflecting on the holiday when I was a child. My mom passed away just prior to my 21st birthday, so I have now had many Thanksgivings without her. I do however always remember her at this time of year.
Over the years, my family has come up our favorite foods we like to prepare. My boys have never liked the relish tray, so I only get the olives and sometimes the sweet pickle jerkins. One year I tried making sweet potatoes with fresh potatoes instead of the canned. Well, canned yams are NOT allowed to enter our home. They LOVE moms fresh sweet potatoes. I have had friends request my sweet potatoes if we attend Thanksgiving somewhere else. I tried to make cranberry sauce from fresh cranberries one year. They weren't to crazy about those.
I am so lucky I have four boys that like to cook. They help make apple and pumpkins pies, they make great mashed potatoes (they add seasoning to flavor them up - YUM!), they help with the stuffing and have even made biscuits from scratch. As they become better cooks they suggest something new to be tried for dinner.
May you have time to reflect on the past and also enjoy the moment at the present.
My heart is filled full with the love of my family and the spirt of my lord. May your heart also be full and thankful for all you have.
Blessings and Happy Thanksgiving, Love Diane

Hello,
How are you today?? I had a wonderful time teaching my 6 x 6 Christmas photo album class last night. The kit is so wonderful. It is filled with this beautiful paper from My Minds Eye. The kit has so much in it you can make the album and have enough materials left to make some beautiful Christmas cards. Here are a few that I have made. Notice the brown border with the scallop edge. That piece is acutual the border where you find the brand name of the paper. I cut off the name and used the remaining pieces to create a beautiful border. How useful and cool is that. The first card you see has items not in the kit. They are buttons I had. I believe they are Jesse James buttons. The snowflake is a seasonal item I found at Michaels as well as the buttons. The Jesse James buttons come in a huge, amazing array of fun shapes. They are super for adding embellishments to your cards, scrapbook pages and other craft projects. the last card I used my Stampin' Up! scallop circle punch and the SU SAB So Many Scallops stamp set. Stampin" Up! has a variety of stamp sets and punches that match. There is a new one coming out for Valentines. Mine is in the mail coming to me. I just clicked on the images to check they out. WOW! They pop up super sized. I used a different editing program and reduced the size but guess I need to reduce more the next time. They do give you a clear close up view of the cards. Enjoy the cards. Please feel free to leave comments.
