Okay so I've been gone for awhile but...

Just trying to get into the swing of things again. With the end of summer behind us and school well underway. I think we are finally just getting back into our routines. With that of course brings the Holidays to us. With them just a few weeks away I'm happy to say that Stampin' Up!'s Holiday Catalog is out! Hooray! Here is just a small glipse for the full catalog click here.

Summer Summer is SO Lazy

Hello all...Sorry I've kinda let this go :) I'm just so in the summer mode of "off". I'm starting however to feel the beginnings of a routine coming on. The kids will be in school and so will hubby in just a few short weeks which means that this stamping' thing will explode. I will post a whole bunch of new techniques that I've been gathering but not too motivated to post as this summer has gotten me so lazy! So stay tuned as more is definitely on the way.

Okay so I'm getting there

Here is another Clipboard that I made for my daughters dance teacher. I kept it really simple mainly because it was one of the first ones I had made and because I knew she would use it so didn't want it to be too "bumpy". It was really easy to make and it was a lot of fun! If you need instructions email me and I'll send it to you. Email: olgastamps@nyc.rr.com.

Need a Break/ Altered Clipboards

Hello all,
Today was a tough! You know those weeks when u just look up and realize its Thursday already? Just where did Mon, Tues, and Wed go?

Anyhoo, going to be making some altered clipboards. I things they'll be great gifts for my daughters' and sons' teachers. They are really easy to make and it can be as simple or as embellished as you'd like it to be.

If anybody needs directions let me know. If you have any altered clipboard pics you'd like to post please do so! Look out for more pictures coming next week.

Push Pull Card MUST SEE.

Here is a great card to make and although it may look difficult it's really, really easy! You can stamp just about anything in the front. You can use it vertically or horizontally. I've used this card as a holiday card, birthday card and graduation card. It was a lot of fun to make and furthermore, it was great to see my friend's face when she opened the card! If you would like step by step instructions please just email me at olgastamps@nyc.rr.com.
