Susan’s Convention Swap
My peep Susan Field was kind enough to give my one of her Convention Swaps. The flower embellishment really caught my eye. Was is a brad? Was it a button? No to both. It was a rose made from Stampin' Up's Simply Pressed Clay.
I spent last weekend in Dittmer, MO with some of my peeps so I was able to play with this product. Let me tell you that it was so easy. I added drops ( a few at a time) of Summer Starfruit reinker to a small amount of clay and kneeded it until it was blended. Then a placed a small amount of clay into the mold and placed it in the freezer for 10 minutes. It popped right out of the mold without losing any shape. I then adhered the Basic Pearl to the center and let it air dry overnight.
I can't wait to play with it again. I have another card in mind for clay button. It should be ready just in time for my September Stamp Camp.

Fall Facebook Banner
I thought it was time to change by Facebook Banner to a theme heading into the the Fall season. This was a template in MDS that I resized and modified to capture the some of my favorite Stampin' UP! colors.

Charming Owlways
My daughter has joined Origami Owl. Of course there are greater than 15,000 others in line to begin their business. This is giving her time to establish her business plan and goals. First on her list was to establish her social media pipeline with a Facebook Page. This is the banner I made for her using MDS. Cute huh? If your interestedin hosting an Origami Owl Jewelry Bar, she will be ready in just a few months.
Lovely as A Tree
The Lovely as a Tree Stamp Set is the flagship stamp set of Stampin' UP! (that's my opinion). Although I have used it many times, this is the first time I have used it in a stamp camp. It makes a great masculine card. Another inspiration by Sandy Mathis. What would I do without her.

Soho For You
This card was designed by the very, very cool Brian King. I finally got a chance to meet him in Salt Lake City. He was such a nice person and so gracious. Don’t you just love this card?
