LAND OF THE FREE

Summer is here and 4th of July is around the corner.  In fact, tonight we went to our first Fireworks display of the season.  It was grand.  To celebrate the Birthday of the USA and the Freedom we share, as well as to commemorate and honor our military, SU! has produced this Under $10 Stamp -  
Land of the Free.  It's perfect.  It embosses well also, as I have done with this card.  I can see sending this card to so many people.  I'd love to make a bunch for our military also!  You can buy this single stamp for only $8.95.  Make sure you include it on your next order!

For the Inside of the card I used a brand new not yet released stamp set called Happiest Birthday wishes. This set is going to be one of our hostess sets that you can earn.  Book a party so you can get this set early! You will only need $15 hostess dollars - so it's really achievable - and wait til you see all the sentiments that come in the set.  I also used the Jumble Alphabet for the USA.  It's retiring.  Sigh! If you don't have Jumble Alphabet yet, you can order it through June 30th!

 Happy Upcoming 4th everyone!

LISA CHATTERGEE IS REMARKABLE

BIG THANKS TO LISA FOR THESE LUGGAGE TAGS

My good friend and sideline SU! demo Remarkable Lisa Chattergee made these tags. Actually, she made a whole lot more - two tags each for all of the ladies who attended stamp camp at Cathy Weir's home in January. Lisa got snowed out from us when we got hit with some big snow in Maryland this year. Lisa was going to show everyone how to make these lovely tags. Since we got snowed in and she got snowed out, we never had a chance to make the tags. Fortunately, Lisa attended Jan's Remarkably Hot Retreat in Harrisburg Pa last weekend and spent the time to make all of us our tags. Mine are already on my bags, and most of the ladies were on the retreat already. Pictured above are the tags for Young and Katie. Lisa used the stamp set Totally Tess to stamp the images on the front of the tag. She paper pieced all of the clothes using SU! designer paper. She customized each tag to the ladies with their hair and skin color and favorite clothing and stamp colors. Way cool!
On the back of each tag, Lisa stamped our names using the SU! Jumble Alphabet (I love this alphabet stamp set). She really did a fabulous job. Each of us will put our tags on our SU! luggage and crop bags and proudly display them. If you would like to make a tag, you can still purchase the Totally Tess Stamp set from SU! - available from the Occasions Mini catalog only until the last day in April.

RemARKable Going Green Blog Tour - DAY 3

BROWN PAPER PACKAGES - EH....BOOK COVERS!

This may take you back to your school days. Did you ever have to cover a textbook? I've been helping my son to get his done for the last few years, so with the Remarkable Going Green tour, this project came right to mind. You need on large paper bag for each book you want to carry.
Wrap the book with the paper bag turning the paper bag inside out so that you have a palette to work on. Once the book is covered, give it to your child with stamps and inks to color. My son is JP and we used the jumble alphabet stamps to title the book. The design on the cover is one of my absolute favorite stamp sets - extreme elements. Use bright and bold ink colors. They will really stand out great.

I helped JP do quite a few of his books - religion, math, social studies....so many different books to cover and recycle those paper bags.

BIRTHDAY CARD THAT WAS SO MUCH FUN TO MAKE!

I made this birthday card for a former downline of mine. I am hoping that she'll get back into our stamping group one of these days. I used the sending love dsp that is so glittery, the new large flower punch, scallop circle punch, 1 inch circle punch, 3 heart punch (medium heart) and the stamp set whimsical words that you can earn for FREE during Sale-a-bration. I also used the jumble alphabet to do her name. It is such a cool stamp set!
