A Daunting Task

I've been working on my office the last couple of days.  Seems like by this time every year is just gets out of hand and there is no room to create.  Well this week on our local Huron County Yard Sale Facebook page I found this cute little cabinet and it was just what I was looking for.

I'm able to keep my retired sets that I can't bare to part with in the drawers and the door area holds all my 31 totes and bags.  It's great that you can sort of fold them down pretty flat.  They have just been all over  and driving me nuts.  I need them in my room so that when I need to pack for an event I have them, but I don't need them out in the way.  This works great and my printer fits on here as well as my digital postal scale.

I will show you my pic of when I started the other day.

I am not proud of this in any way, but I will show you so that hopefully I can show you an awesome cleaned up pic later.  I'm still working on it.  *Ü*  Well I need to get back to it.  Maybe I can post a project later.  Don't forget about the Stamp, Stock and Save Sale going on through Monday, October 6.  Call me if you'd like to order or you can order direct from my website www.reneeond.stampinup.net.  If you do that could you be so kind and use this HOSTESS CODE D3FNASAH

Blessings and have a great day!

A Different Kind of Sympathy Card

Well we made it to Wednesday.  You know what tonight is, don't you?  Survivor night of course.  We have watched Survivor from the very first season and have never missed one.  It's something we've always watched together as a family so it's always a special night, even if now it is sometimes just Frank and I.  I'm in a group of demonstrators on Facebook who has come up with our own Stampin' Survivor.  How it works is that each demo was given a contestant and as your person is voted off you have to send the ones that are still surviving a card.  My person is Reed and he is still in it.  I'd love to see him go to the end and then I'd get wonderful cards from everyone, but time will tell.

Well enough of that.  Here is what I want to share today.  I needed to make a sympathy card and I thought I'd try something a little different.  I wanted to make it more masculine.  I used my Color Coach for the color combo.

And here is another little Curvy Keepsake box I made.  These little boxes are so fun and easy to make.

Well that is it for today.  Have a wonderful evening.
Blessings,
Renee

September Class Cards

Hey there again today!  Two posts today.  I feel like I should get extra credit or something. hehe
I wanted to share with you the projects that were made at my September class.  My class projects are usually a little more detailed than what we would do at a in home party and it allows customers to learn a few more tips, tricks and ideas.  I know I've shown a couple on my blog already, but here they are all together.

 This one features a little different fold and the ladies really liked it.  Of course it was the easiest card of the night.  Hmmm...........LOL!

They also really liked this one as well.  They especially liked how we made it look like a door and those that hadn't already purchased the Hardwood background stamp had to add that to their order.

 These last two were ones that I had shared on the blog before, but they were excited that they got to make them.

It was a fun evening and everyone went home with cards they really liked.  Thanks ladies for attending and spending the evening with me.  Now for those who haven't attended classes, see what you are missing out on?  Don't they look like fun?  Look for another class soon.

Blessings,
Rene

Tying up Loose Ends

Good Morning!  As you know I've missed posting the last couple of days.  I think I've had a flu bug of some sort and just haven't even made it to my office/stamp room.  Sorry about that.  I decided to clear up some things on my desktop today since I can't stand a full and messy computer desktop so I thought I'd share some things that have been in my need to post file.  So here goes.

This is called a screen card.  They are super fun and easy to make.  Might have to do one of these at an upcoming class.

This is made with a stamp set that was in the Occasions catalog and is no longer available, but you could substitute any stamp for this layout.  The colors and DSP are all the new ones and are available in our current catalog and of course in my online store.

 This is  a card using all the new 2014-2016 In Colors.

 Here is another Screen card using In Colors.

This card has some Project Life die cuts with the Framelits, In Colors, Work of Art stamp set.

 

There thanks for letting me get caught up.  If you have any questions please feel free to let me know.  Blessings to you and have a great day!

Owl Treats

Well we survived Monday and we are almost through Tuesday.  I'm not having the best week health wise, but what ya gonna do?  Just keep plugging along, cause "any day above ground is a good day".  Right?

I have my September stamp class tonight.  I think we are making some nice projects.  Most of them are ones that I've shared right here so hopefully the class attendees will be excited to be able to make them.  Class starts at 6:30 and I'm pretty much ready.  Just have to carry the stuff upstairs, but Brooke will be here shortly so she can help me.

I wanted to share something I made today that I found on Pinterest.  I'm not sure where this originated.  All I found was a picture and I winged it as far as measurements and such.

Aren't they cute?  I will be making some of these to sell at the scrapbooking retreat in mid October.  They are so simple to make with the Owl Builder Punch and the Fringe Scissors.

Have you checked out this weeks Weekly Deals?  Here they are.  Weekly Deals  I will try and post a picture of them as soon as I can.  My upline usually posts one we can share and she hasn't posted it yet.

Well I better get going.  Class time will be here before I know it.  Hey maybe I should go an catch a 5 minute nap.  That sounds like a good idea.

Blessings,
Renee

Lazy Sunday

It's been a lazy Sunday afternoon and I loved it.  Nothing better than a Sunday afternoon nap.  We went to church and then stopped and got hot and ready pizza and came home.  We watched the Tigers, slept and woke up in time to see them lose.  Not happy about that, but we are still in it.  Then I came down to the stamp room to do a couple of business issues and thought I'd get a post in.  I know I don't usually post on Sundays, but I've got a little post for ya.

I used the For All Things stamp set again.  Nothing difficult about this card at all.  I stamped the leaf three times, once in Cherry Cobbler, Mossy Meadow and Hello Honey.  I cut them out and only put adhesive on the bottom part of the leaves.  When they were applied to the embossed background it made them pop out a little on the top and give more dimension.  I made a several loop bow from the Gold Baker's Twine and attached with a glue dot.  The greeting is popped up on dimensionals.

Well that's it, I guess.  Oh no, I forgot.  I have my September stamp class on Tuesday night at 6:30.  Are you coming?  If you are please RSVP by tomorrow.  Please bring a pair of scissors and your own adhesive.  I will supply everything else for the projects plus snacks.  Cost is $20.  My regular attendees are always talking about what a good time they have so maybe you should come and see for yourself.  I'd love to have you!

Blessings,
Renee
