My Digital Studio Calendar Page for May 2010

Here is the May calendar page I made this year for my in-laws. They are enjoying this gift all year long. I put May birthdays on this page as a reminder of whose birthday falls on this month. Mother's Day pictures with Mom and her children would be great to put in here, too. These calendars make great gifts and cost 29.99 plus the My Digital Studio Software. Embellishing them with digital stamps, buttons and ribbons is so easy.

Mother's Day Magnets

I made these magnets using the Scallop Circle Die and Clear Circle Die from Stampin' Up! with the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine. I also used "Sunny Day" Simply Scrappin Kit which I earned from Stampin' Up! Then I purchased magnets and glued them on the back. I made a set for my mother-in-law, my Aunt Helen and my mother for Mother's Day. I also made one for my sister, Kathi. I think they will love these! These would make great gifts all year long. You can order these dies and paper on my Stampin Up! Website.

Bumble Bee Punch Card

This bumble bee punch card came from last years fall fest but thought it is appropriate to give to someone special for a spring card. This card is made from the ornament punch, small oval punch, and 3/4 " circle punch. The swirls behind the bumble bee are made by paper piercinig the card stock. Enjoy!

Thank you notes for Harry's party

I just love this stamp set that I earned for free during Sale-a-bration. It's the Ronald McDonald Charity stamp set where a portion of the money spent on the set goes to the charity. These cards were super easy and fast to make and the best part is that Harry filled them out himself. There are only 5 more days left to get your free Sale-a-bration sets! Hurry, Hurry, Hurry!!! You can even order on-line at my Stampin' Up! website! Just spend $50.00 worth of products from the catalog, then pick your free stamp set!

Getting ready for Winterfest 2010!

Hi Everyone!

I'm getting ready for Winterfest and I'm really excited about it for 2 reasons: first, two of my sons are going with me and that's always fun to do something special with them and secondly, I made a decision to give half of what I make at Winterfest to Hope World Wide, an awesome charity that gives 91% of donations directly to the program costs.

My Stampin' Up! "workshop" will be in Room 105 and kids can make a Build-A-Bear bag, a princess purse, a beaded pen, a Build-A-Bear goody bag with treats in it or a card. Each project will cost $2.00 and $1.00 will go to Hope Worldwide.

Winterfest is so much fun for young and old alike. There's the avenue of shoppes (which I always enjoy), there's games for the kids in the gym and last year they got to watch their teachers get dunked in the dunk tank. In the cafeteria there's popcorn and cotton candy and many gift baskets to be won, too. This year, each shoppe will be raffling off a gift bag of at least $25.00 worth of products. (There's a Sock Monkey Stamp Set in my basket along with some other goodies...)

Winterfest is held at Ironia Elementary School in Randolph, NJ on Saturday, February 6th from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. The snowdate will be Sunday, Jan 7th from 12:00 pm-6:00 pm.

Hope to see you there!

Have a Build A Bear Birthday Party!

Wouldn't this make a great Build-A-Bear Party? We made 3 projects using the Build-A-Bear Stamp Sets and Dies at my rubberstamping class at Ironia Elementary School in Randolph, NJ. I had three great helpers and 17 children working away on projects all featuring the Build-A-Bear collection. If you'd like to order visit my Stampin' Up! website at maryannkasper.stampinup.net
