This is the card we made at stamp camp this month. It's hard to see the background but we stamped the words first and then embossed the whole card front with the Petal Burst embossing folder... it looks lovely in real life. If you emboss it first and then try to stamp the words it really doesn't work... don't ask me how I know :-D</div>

This winter we finally installed solar power on our house. This was largely thanks to an amazing guy, John Lyle, who donated his time and skills to help us make this dream a reality. When I saw the lightbulb stamp in the new Sale-a-bration set, You Brighten My Day, I thought this would be the perfect image for a thank you card! Thanks John!Brenda Marshallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09430709596560169735noreply@blogger.com37tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3398678889662450178.post-61742346332547199312014-01-04T03:42:00.000-08:002014-01-04T03:42:43.986-08:00Happy New Year!Happy New Year to you!<br />

We made these fun labels to hang onto a bottle of wine or champagne at our last Stamp Club.<br />
This one was made by Rhonda - she had fun making the different numbers and changing everything up. In the bottom one Barbara used the snowflake embossing folder along one edge of the silver foil cardstock, I love how this turned out! We used the frosted embellishments as charms to hang around the neck of the bottle. Too cute!<br />

But it's all good :-) Had some lovely visitors from the UK, kids are back in school (but have lots of activities that are keeping me running) and I took on a part-time job at the Bayfield library. Phew! Lots of transition and a pretty steep learning curve. I am LOVING the way everything is shaping up though. I do apologize if you've been feeling neglected. I have been pretty spacey but am planning some fun new things for October - I do hope you can join me... check out my <a href="http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/brendamarshall/events" target="_blank">events calendar </a>for details.<br />

Check out this super easy Halloween card! I used the Witches Brew Washi Tape - have you tried this? It's so fun! Just tear off a strip and stick it on, it's a little translucent AND you can even write on it, it's a fun option to decorate with or to stick layers together.<br />

The Build a Banner kit comes with a whole bunch of stencils and I simply sponged through the openings, easy peasy!<br />
<br />
I will be holding a class to make this adorable banner? Are you interested?! Let me know and I'll try and schedule it when you can come...<br />
<br />
If you sign up to join my team via my website www.brendamarshall.stampinup.net then you can add both the Build a Banner kit AND the Halloween OR Christmas Accessory kits onto your starter kit for FREE! Yay! And you already get $125 worth of stuff for only $99 so it's already a great deal even without that promo.<br />
<br />
Have a wonderful day and please let me know if you have any questions.<br />
<br />

My youngest son, Callum, is obsessed with Minecraft, know any kids like this? I have to admit I absolutely don't get it! To me it looks really old fashioned and boxy but (if I let him) he would spend HOURS in front of the computer screen building weird and wonderful landscapes, baking cakes, farming pigs and avoiding creepers. This summer he showed me a Papercraft App on his iPod that allows you to design your own "skin" and then print it out and build these cool 3D sculptures. As it involved paper and not the computer screen I was happy to let him do it (although, not so happy, when he and his friend decided they needed to print out 90 lime green wool blocks and used up all my color cartridges!) </div>

It was hysterical! We had hot glue and Scotch tape all over the place, there was a definite learning curve! But, in the end we mastered it. This is Pam's second attempt, and now we're all set to share it with our friends. Check out our first attempts below though!<br />

For the first time in the history of the world I actually started early on my swaps! Seriously I am a "do 'em in the car on the way there" kind of gal but this year I have to drive myself so I knew that wouldn't be a very good idea (and they would be all crooked so I probably wouldn't get anybody to swap with me anyway!) </div>

My friend Tiffany came over and made her swaps at the same time. She and I are not "related" in the Stampin' Up world but we are both demonstrators and both going to convention so we had fun stamping together.<br />

Oh I have been having a great time sorting through all my stuff and pulling together all this fun stuff for my giant sale on Monday & Tuesday! I have an embarrassing amount of stamp sets though. I don't think I've done a sale for three years and I have sure accumulated a TON of fun goodies in that time! And then Stampin' Up switched style of ink pads (and of course I had to get the new style) and then they re-shuffled the colors and so I have a lot of ink-pads, refills, markers and card stock to sell too, woo hoo!<br />

The best part is - you can get EVERYTHING on sale! It's all 'Buy One Get One' in celebration of my big birthday! OR, if you prefer, instead of choosing your 'Get One' from the stash here you can get a gift certificate for the NEW BOOK for the value of what you spend! There are a couple of caveats - you can't put your certificate towards tax or shipping and you have to use your certificate within 3 days. Apart from that, no restrictions! Get BOGO on my previously loved stuff OR on some of the 'have to have it!' goodies in the new book, yippee!<br />

I made this card for my lovely friend and fellow demonstrator, Tammy. I have had a blast matching Henry up with the adorable Designer Typeset photopolymer stamp set. I have to say these completely clear stamps are kind of different to use... but the one thing I LOVE about them is, because they are completely transparent, they are super easy to stamp in a specific place, like the numbers inside the pennants. The other great thing about them is that you can bend them when you stick them on the block. So I was able to curve the flags, so fun!<br />
<br />
Did you know that the Happy Birthday greeting from Henry Says fits just perfectly inside the speech bubble from the Designer Typeset Photopolymer set? I was so excited to discover this (it doesn't take much!) I did that on this card, which was my first attempt for a swap card for Fiji. (I ended up choosing something else instead though!)<br />

I have to confess that this, 'Wish Big' pointy hand was the MAIN reason I bought this Bring on the Cake stamp set, I just love this image! I have used it several times... you can stamp or write something different and stick it onto a card and put it in his hand too :-) The other images are cool but this is the one that is always calling me!<br />
<br />
I used a fun double embossing technique on this card too, it was re...ally hard to get it to show up on the the photo though, do you see it? There is a frame around the image using the Designer Frames embossing folder, and then the square lattice die over the whole piece. Are you interested in learning how to do this? I'd be happy to do a tutorial.<br />
<br />
I am so glad this Island Indigo color is rolling on through into our core colors, I LOVE IT! Actually, I don't think we've ever had a "blue" that I don't like. Always my fallback color!<br />
<br />
Today I am celebrating finally feeling BETTER! I've had a virus that absolutely knocked me out, I had a fever for 7 days straight! We're going camping for a couple of days and I know that's going to be time to heal and relax. I hope you have a wonderful long weekend,<br />

Oh my word, we had an amazingly brilliant, once in a lifetime trip to Fiji! I cannot even begin to tell you how wonderful it was... I was really anxious about leaving our children behind and traveling so far away without them, but, thanks to our lovely friends who stepped in to help, they did fine.<br />
<br />
So, I'm going to try and squish some of our best experiences into this post... ready? Here we go! First picture at Albuquerque airport - I knew it was going to be a good trip when I discovered my bag was at exactly 50lbs!<br />

When we got to Nadi we met up with Marsh's sister Jill and her huband Mark who live in New Zealand and immediately transferred onto this tiny plane to Taveuni Island. The plane was so tiny they couldn't accommodate our luggage, that's why we're carrying our beach towels so we can go swimming while waiting!<br />

I have lots of fun pictures and stories to share from Fiji but I can't sit and play with my pictures until I've got my stamping done - club starts tomorrow and I "borrowed" a couple of ideas from the swap cards I received.<br />
<br />
Right back when I first started stamping I came across this fun technique using hair gel inside a cello bag. We made adorable little Mother's day gifts at the pre-school. The fact that my pre-schooler is entering High School this year gives you some indication of how long ago that was! I received a swap using this technique from Diane Carr - I was so excited to see it again after so many years! I had to copy it for club... Here's what we'll be making, isn't it SO COOL?!!! Love it!<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />This is one of three fun projects we're doing this month. My club girls can make more steppy, complicated projects because they have the opportunity to develop their skills month by month. One of the many things I love about club is the fact that we can branch out into more fun ideas. (My favorite thing about club is getting to visit with some of my favorite friends every month though!) Interested? Ask me for more info!</span></td></tr>

This is the first time we've left our kids behind, they have a fun week planned, staying with various friends, but I am anxious about being away from them... I'm sure the sun, sea and sand is going to make everything ok though :-)<br />

I love this time to get together with old and new friends and play for a couple of hours. Something we all need more of in our lives don't you think? Anyway, one of my favorite things is that sometimes the girls bring along things they've been making to share with the group. My friend Rhonda bought along a selection last month and I think this was my fave (I apologize for the poor quality photo - I was quick trying to snap it in the middle of all the craziness!)<br />

She used this adorable 'Spec-tacular' single stamp and used more than one color of embossing powder to emboss the glasses different colors. This is a technique we had learned at our last Master class - and I LOVE how she used it here! Then she came back and decorated some of them with markers and some with foil or rhinestones, so imaginative! I love the whole 80's feel of the finished card! (I have to love anything to do with the 80's because that's really my era.)<br />
<br />
This batch of single stamps were originally only going to be available through the end of March but thankfully they extended that through to the end of July! I'm pleased because I wanted to get this one and the little His and Hers towels. You can see all of the single stamps on offer here:<br />

I know a lot of people prefer the clear mount stamp sets but I actually still really love the wood mount stamps. Especially if I want to use a lot of images at once it's really handy not to have to keep switching them out. Or if I'm doing a class where I want to give stampers lots of choices.<br />
<br />
There's something about holding the wooden block that really makes me happy :-)<br />
<br />
Here's a little video about the new cases!<br />

My life is busy, chaotic and crazy. I have very few blocks of time to sort and organize and figure out what to scrapbook and by the time I do I don't remember the details or the funny things that happened, and I feel stressed about having everything match and where I put the cute accessories etc.<br />
<br />
When I saw this my interest was piqued... but I still wasn't sure... when I got it in my hands I squealed, I was so excited! No more doing anything in order (unless you want to.) No more chronological, needing to get everything down. Just throw in the bits YOU want. Often, the most important thing to me is not the who, when, what, where, how... It's the life lessons. The little things I see or feel and say "I want to remember this. I want to hold onto this feeling or this new knowledge."<br />

So, for example, we just spent part of our Spring Break in Albuquerque - we went to the zoo and had a great time. The things that made it special for me are the little things though... Finlay got a fancy camera at Christmas time and I loved watching him stage pictures and photograph the animals and the flowers. I wonder where this hobby will take him, if this is a formative stage in his life? We went on a train ride and Marsh and I were transported back in time to the days where our whole lives were immersed in train paraphernalia. Our boys are so grown up now it's great to get those reminders.<br />
<br />
So I super quick threw together these pages. The kit makes it SO SUPER EASY and (most important to me) QUICK!<br />
<br />
Everybody's will be totally unique based on what YOU want to record and remember, I love that there are no rules, just save whatever, it's all good!<br />

So fun to just wrap up a candy bar sometimes! I made these last minute Valentine treats for the boys by simply measuring a Toblerone (yummy!) candy bar and cutting a piece of card stock long enough to wrap around and then scoring it so it would fold nicely. I stamped the hearts using Whisper White Craft ink and colored Henry using a blender pen and Classic ink. Easy peasy! The ticket duo punch makes cutting out the tickets a breeze too!<br />
<br />
We ran to the dollar store yesterday and all their Easter candy was half price, Ruh Roh. So, of course, we couldn't leave without grabbing a few Cadbury Creme Eggs. I planned on having mine with a lovely cup of tea when I got home but, actually, I gobbled it all up before I even got to the car. Such self control!<br />
<br />
I hope you're having a wonderful week, Brenda<br />
