Place Cards

These are the place cards that we had sitting at everyone's place
at our Thanksgiving table yesterday.

We also made this as a project for the Big Shot Class last week.

Pull up on the ribbon and you have a little note
where everyone can write down what they are thankful for.

When I started dating Dale we celebrated EVERY Thanksgiving Day with his family.
It was a wonderful day that we always looked forward to.
Dad Waite would have us go around the table and each one would
tell what we were thankful for. Sometimes it would be sentimental
and maybe a few tears would be shed, and sometimes there would be something
fun or silly. I would say "you never know what the kids would say", but in this
family it was usually "you never know what the adult men would say."
They had, and still have a habit of being fun-natured, and a bit silly at times.

Wonderful memories that we now cling to with both Mom and Dad Waite
celebrating Thanksgiving in Heaven.

Hope you all had a wonderful
Thanksgiving Celebration!

Big Shot Class

Tonight is my Big Shot Class!
If you live in my area we would love to have you join us.

This is one of the four projects that we will be making at tonight's class.
Using the Stocking Die we are creating this cute gift card holder.


Think how fun this would be if you change up the color to make it look like a
baby bootie and use it as a gift card holder for a baby shower!

There will be two Christmas themed projects and two Fall/Thanksgiving
themed projects at tonight's class

Here is one of the Thanksgiving/Fall themed projects...


This cute little box was made using the Scalloped Envelope Die
You can decorate this any way you want - Change up the color/theme, and stamps
and you can have a cute treat or favor for a baby or bridal shower.
The options are endless!

Cost for tonight's class is only $20 for four projects

Big Shot Class

Tuesday night was my first ever BIG SHOT Class!!
Wooo Hooo!
We really had a ton of fun!
Thought I would give you a little taste of two of the projects
that we made at this class.

This cute little Halloween Themed box was made with the Mini Milk Carton Die.
We actually learned this at Convention so thought this would
be a perfect time to highlight it.

You cut out 2 of the Milk Cartons from the die,
trim off one section from each and then attach them together.

These are made with the candy wrapper die and the original size (on the right) is
great but at convention they showed us how to make the die longer (on the left)
which actually holds a full size candy bar, like a 3 Musketeer.
So this is another trick the gals learned at Tuesday nights BIG SHOT class.

Like what you see?? Come join us next month for the BIG SHOT Class and
see what other fun things you can make using your BIG SHOT!

Monday, November 14th at 7 PM. Cost for this class is $20.00
and you will make 4 fun projects.

Thanks for checking in

Have a Blessed Day!

Beautiful Butterfly Wings

At the August Techniques Class we made these cute little
Post-It Note Butterflies.
The idea was snagged by Becky Roberts who made a bunch of
these up for Convention in July.
I guess this is not so much a "Technique" as it is a "Big Shot Project"
so starting in October (on the 3rd) I am starting a Big Shot Projects Class.

All my classes are listed on the right side bar of my blog so
feel free to check it out anytime
And PLEASE sign on up for one or more of the classes offered.

Do you already own a Big Shot and just not sure how to use all the
Dies and other Big Shot Accessories?

This is the perfect class for you!

We will make 4 projects using the Big Shot.

The cost of this class is $20.00.

Don't have a Big Shot, but REALLY, REALLY want one?
I will work out a payment plan for you or we can talk about some other

easy ways you could earn one for 50% off or even FREE.

Have a Blessed Day!!

Wedding’s

Not only does our church body seem to be popping with a lot of new babies on the way, but it seems as though there are tons of weddings coming up this year. I usually keep several varieties on hand but when a cute idea comes my way I can’t resist making it up. This idea came from Celisa on the stampinconnection.

What a fun idea – no stamping except for the sentiment on the inside

MENU:

CS: WW

Accessories: Dot Embossing Folder, Finial Press Embossing Folder, Big Shot, Texture Plate Kit #4, 5/8” White Satin Ribbon, 1/4” Black Gingham Ribbon, Half Pearls from the Pretties Kit, Dimensionals, Full Heart Punch, Mini Glue Dots

Love, Love, Love this idea!

So For Now…

Happy Stamping!!
