Camp Quality albums being made up at Camp

These photos are from Camp with the kids and their companions completing the albums.

Camp Quality albums ready to go

It's hard to believe but here is a pile of 100 Mini Album Kits for the Kids and Companions that went to Camp Quality this year in Christchurch.  Thanks to all those who came to the classes I ran, for buying raffle tickets and for those that sponsored albums or who donated product to help we couldn't have done it with out you. 

In another post I will post pictures of some of the kids making up these albums.

Sweet treat cups with Lady bugs

This was another card that I taught for the Camp Quality Fundraising class.  I saw the ladybugs in a shop and just had to buy them as they matched the ribbon that came in the Summer Mini Catalogue.  I didn't have the matching stamp set so made a flower around the Sweet Treat Cup using a the Five Petal flower punch and the 3/4" circle punch (make sure you punch the circle first and then the flower punch).

Materials

Stamps: Sincere Salutations
Cardstock: Real Red, Basic Black, Whisper White

Ink: White Craft
Punches: 3/4" Circle, 5 Petal Flower Punch, 1 3/4" Circle Punch.

Other: Sweet Treat Cup, Tombow Multi adhesive, 3/4" Polka-Dot Grosgrain Ribbon, Jumbo brads 5/16" Neutrals Assortment (these are still available although they are not listed in a current catalogue) dimensionals and Ladybird chocolates.

How I use my crimper so it goes straight

 

The way use my crimper is (I'm right handed) squeeze the crimper with your left hand leaving your thumb at the top (to help guide the card through) ..... on my crimper there are two arrows I use the right hand side arrow and line the right hand side of whatever I'm crimping up to the point of the arrow so that you feed it in straight - use your left thumb to help guide it through keeping the card at the point of the arrow - 99% of the time mine goes through straight and if not put it through again :-).  

To get it feeding straight make sure that you have the rollers squeezed together before you feed it through as that will give you a straight edge to start feeding it from. 

Happy Crimping :-)

I've been scrapbooking

This scrapbook layout was started several years ago so I just had to add a couple of finishing touches. Now I know why I joined Stampin' Up! after using Non-SU products that didn't easily match - I love how SU products co-ordinate together. The title is made using the stamp set Defining Alphabet - this stamp set is great it has both capital and small letters on. I used the Stamp-a-ma-jig and a black SU marker to space the letters.

Come back tomorrow as I have another scrapbook layout to share...... two posts in two days now that's a scary thought.
