Every Little Bit of Fun...

...That I can fit into my post for the Stampin' Addicts New Catty Blog Hop! A fabulous group of demonstrators and I are celebrating the amazing new stamp sets, products, tools, and punches in Stampin' Up! 2010-2011 Idea Book and Catalog.

You may be starting here at Lily's Ink Pad or you may have come from Emily's Blog Featuring the new Stamp Set For Everything. Either way, welcome and I hope you are inspired by my projecs. My stamp set is Every Little Bit, so hold onto your hats, I may have gone a bit crazy!

Last year at Convention Shelli Gardner, Founder and CEO of Stampin' Up! showed us a locker decoration project set. All year, I've had that in my head as my students open and shut their lockers 10 times a day and I finally had a chance to try it! In this ensemble, I used some decorative rocks as the basis of my fun. I simply stamped the images, colored them in, and then used Crystal Effects to adhere the paper to the stone and added a magnet to the back. For a few, I added them to paper clips or binder clips--whatever I felt like! The mirror was one I just bought because my students are always asking me if I have a mirror in my room and I never do, so after 12 years, I bought one. I decided to alter it in paper I could live with, so wrapped it up like a present, cut out the hole, and then added a frame, ribbon, and the note holder binder clip. I also made the note holder and will share that process and template next week on my blog, so check back.

Project Set #2 is one I had in my head since I bought the set, but hadn't constructed until now:

How cute! This is a set of 10 notes in a little box and will be my hostess gifts in August. How cute! Did I say that already? I used new colors:

Marina Mist, Pink Pirouette, Concord Crush, Peach Parfait, Pear Pizzaz along with Early Espresso Ink now and then. I matched up the images with saying from Teeny Tiny Wishes, which I use all the time. I think for a new stamper, these two sets would set one up for life!

Finally, I dreamt about this card and therefore had to add it to my set of projects.

Inside:

I just lined up all my little guys on my long clear block and stamped them all at once! How fun!

That's all I have for now, although more info will be posted Monday about these projects. Now it's Rhonda's turn to show you Grunge Rock. She always has fabulous Projects and this time around is no exception!
