Positive Decor

Livingroom Decor
You’re the first to see! I JUST finished putting this on the wall and had to post my success. If I could make one recommendation, it is to take it slow. Do not rush the process. If you purchase Decor Elements from me, I will come over and help you apply it. Do you want some of your own?!

Not So Mini Brochures

SAB
Occasions

Now is a great time to make a purchase! Have you been waiting to stock up on supplies? Do it now! From now until March 31st you will get to chose one FREE SAB product of your choice with every $50 purchase! This year that includes an additional selection of items from the 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalog. See page 11 of the SAB Brochure (click on the 1st photo)

If you’re bored with the Idea Book & Catalog, check out the 2010 Occasions Mini (click on the 2nd photo). It features the new clear-mount stamps. That’s a rubber stamp on a clear block. Also featuring the new punch style (this is a change from the supplier). Check it out. There are just too many things for me to list. I could go on and on.

Fifth Avenue Floral

Fifth Ave Brown
Fifth Ave Gray
I stamped these during what I call THERAPY. I picked a set and found a few cards to CASE from various sites. I cased the first one from Kristy Barra and the second one from someone on SCS. I left off the words because I wasn’t sure what I wanted it to say just yet. I like that these cards turned out so nice yet they are so simple. Just cardstock, dsp, ink and ribbon.

With All My Heart
Just wanted to share some great cards. These were created using the With All My Heart set from the 2010 Occasions Mini Catalog
The thank you card was created by Jill Wakefield. Unfortunately, I can’t give credit on the second one right now… no name to claim.
Look close when you click to enlarge. The DSP is snazzy! It comes pre-glittered!

Flight of the Butterfly

Brown Butterfly

Butterfly Black

I got this set for FREE last year for attending a Stampin’ Up! event. I love that they now have a coordinating punch! The first card I got as a swap from LeeAnn Greff at Convention 2009 and the 2nd card I made at a downline event that my upline held. Another advantage of being a demonstrator. I love the friends I’ve made through Stampin’ Up! There’s something wonderful about like sharing like interests. Instant friends!

Stamp Set: Flight of the Butterfly
Accessories: Butterfly Punch,
Stampin’ Up! Top Note for the Sizzix Big Shot (featured on card #1)
Stampin’ Up! Scallop Square for the Sizzix Big Shot (featured on card #2)

MDS = Memories of a Darling Shirt

Skunk Shirt
The majority of my childhood photos were on slides that I had transferred to digital a few years back. This one in particular was really light so I was very excited to find that the Photo Effects tool on MDS was able to darken it up quite nicely. I love this picture and I am quite pleased with the way this turned out.

MDS = My Dear Sibling

Grace and Joe
I thought it was time that I play with my MDS again. I have found that the best way to become familiar with the program is to try to create a layout by copying from someone else so I cut out some ideas from my old Stampin’ Success publications prior to 2007 and taped them into a notebook. Now I have a little reference book.

I met Grace when Joe (my brother) took me to see Seven Springs during my vacation to PA. This was taken a day or two after I left during their training. I love the beautiful fall leaves in the background combined with the crisp morning air of winter approaching. Brrr.

A Beary Nice Evening With Tiffany

Boy Bear

Girl Bear

I got to spend the evening with my nieces while my sister and her husband went to his company work party. Tiffany and I made the boy and girl bears to match the ones in the Holiday Mini Catalog. The bears were cut out with cardboard to provide her with a sturdier bear to take home.

We used the following:
Stampin’ Up! Sizzix Big Shot
Stampin’ Up! Bear
Stampin’ Up! Beary Essentials
Stampin’ Up! Beary Boy
Stampin’ Up! Beary Girl
Pawsitively Prints DSP

Christmas Girl Bear

Christmas Boy Bear

I made these Christmas bears at an upline meeting but Tiffany gets to take them home too along with all of the extra clothing. The Sizzix Big Shot and the Build-A-Bear Workshop dies provided a few hours of entertainment for the both of us.
