12″ x 12″ Frame Calendar!

Jacque — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 13:00:54 +0000

Sonya designed for Craft Project Central this great 12" x 12" Frame Calendar, which will make a great Christmas gift! (Don't forget to make one for yourself!) Each month is beautifully decorated and the great thing is that you can use the calendar year after year as you're writing the numbers on the glass of the frame. When the month is over, simply insert your next month in the frame, wipe off the old dates and write on the new!

Pacific Stampers Group Meeting & Swap 7-2-10

Jacque — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 13:00:40 +0000

Our group had another very fun and creative group meeting this month! We meet the first Friday of every month and this meeting was a little smaller since some people were traveling and had other plans for the Fourth of July weekend. The smaller group made for a more intimate setting though, and we had a lot of fun, talking, eating, and stamping!!

Here are the swaps that were exchanged:

And here is the project that Shawna designed and brought for us all to make!

I love this project! The little purse holds cards and would be a great gift to give to your friends, teachers, etc.!

Here is a close up of the flower, which is made from fabric. We used the Heat Tool to melt the fabric around the edges. It was really neat the way the flower curled up around the edges!

Thank you Shawna for the great (and very useful) project!!

If you would like information on joining my group, The Pacific Stampers, and joining in on our monthly meetings, please feel free to call or email me!

Why, oh why, do all of my favorite rose stamp sets retire so quickly?!? I especially love the 2-step rose sets!
