Stampin' and Scrappin' with Chris

Two Birds With One Stone

so to speak!

December became a bit crazy, and I was late getting out a swap that I had due (sorry Kelly!).

I also made a resolution to start participating in our groups INKredible Color Challenge each week, so this card is a combination of both!!

This week's Color Challenge is - Not Quite Nave & Rich Razzleberry.  A beautiful combination, but not that easy to do!!

Here's what I used:

• Always Stamp Set
• Not Quite Navy, Rich Razzleberry, Very Vanilla, Bella Blue DSP paper
• Large Oval, Scallop Oval, Scallop Trim Border (new SAB!) punches
• Ice Rhinestone brads, dimensionals, Rich Razzleberry Ribbon

Enjoy!

Tricks or Treats?

I know that the blog has been a little quite creatively lately, but it's been with good reason - I've been very busy working on my classes!!

Right after school started, I began a new class schedule - most Thursday's of the month (I say "most" because I have a couple of trips, events, and my nephew Ben in October).  This new schedule makes it easier for me to schedule my time, and actually helps me to get my projects done on time!!

Well, I guess my customers like the new schedule too, because the classes have been a success!!

Here are the projects we made at my recent Halloween Stamp Camp:

These projects feature some of the new goodies in the Holiday Mini Catalog:

• Sweet Centers stamp set
• Sweet Treats Cups
• 1 3/4" Circle Punch & Scallop Circle Punch
• Twick or Tweet stamp set
• Cast a Spell DSP
• Pumpkin Pie, Perfect Plum, Old Olive & Basic Black cardstock & Classic ink pads
• Pumpkin Pie1/4" Grosgrain, 1/2" Striped Grosgrain, and 1 1/4" Striped Grosgrain ribbon

We had such a great time at class!!

Awesome New Samples

 said many times before that I get to "play" with some of the most talented stampers in the world!!
