Memory Celebrations

Oh what a blessing it is... creating and connecting is often the best part of my week!  So when my friend Kim agreed to host a Private Class with me - we had fun planning a Memory Documenting Private Class.  See some of the fun we had on this Memory Celebrating Monday post.
What is great about the Project Life system is you can create easy pages that look great within minutes!
Our Card Collections cover every need you may have for a great price.  I have compiled three fun collections that cover all of your needs.  See the full collection of Memory Documenting items when you CLICK HERE.
This Catalog is the best I have seen in years!  I adore it.  Kim was so addicted that these tags are her 'must haves'!  She is smart enough to score the amazing deal going on through June of $250 for only $99!!

I love what Kim did with this 5"x 7" photo of her son and her husband on his knees.  Framed in black card stock she cut to fit across these three pockets.  It looks great while not taking away to focus on her page.
Great times... as our kids grow and leave the home it is fun to go back and add their photos into books.  Her son may be grown up but it's fun to relive the moments when they were still young and malleable.
Join Us in Celebrating and Documenting our Memories in a fun Private Class (where you score a fun shopping spree!) or in our Memory Documenting Club that meets the second Sunday of each month.  Leave a legacy of love that is fun to relive while freeing you from the guilt of those pictures staying on your phone, computer or in boxes.

Such an easy card to create that is extra pretty thanks to this new and stunning Awesomely Artistic stamp set!  I like to start from the bottom up... so stamping these 'bushes' in the Pear Pizzazz ink, then the random splatters and frame in the Pool Party ink with the dragonfly and Friend sentiment in the Island Indigo ink.  Simple, elegant, easy.  Add a dash of sparkle, a little something special with the adhesive backed Rhinestone jewels.  

A Crafter's Tip.. Odd numbers look best.  My hubby will tell you that I like even numbers but when it comes to crafting odd numbers (3, 5, 7, etc) look best.  So adding an odd number in the three sizes of our adhesive backed Rhinestone jewels gives you a 'balanced' looking hand-crafted card.

These full kits are thoroughly enjoyed by Adults and Kids!!  They come with a fun assembly video that MyPaperPumpkin.com and I post on my blog.  With boys and girls in our club from ages 5-11 this has been a fun time for the kids to create and not demand a ton of mom's time (a great time for us moms to connect and get a break - lol).  I also have an amazing collection of Women and a Man who order and enjoy these all-inclusive crafting kits.

Beauty comes in many forms, from a kind word, to a beautiful outfit, to a piece of art.  On this fun Fashion Friday Post I find inspiration in a beautiful dress that insoires a pretty hand-crafted Thanks card!

OK so I LOVE this dress!!  I want it for myyyy collection.  It inspired me to create this elegant card that was perfect for our recent Stamper's 10 Club meeting.  A simple card that says so much with one simple word.  Like this pretty dress, simple can be elegant.  Finding inspiration from the beauty of what surrounds us, fashion is a fun way to combine two of my loves into one (Happy Fashion Friday!!).
Altering this stunning collection of paper, the Timeless Elegance is probably the most stunning collection of paper in my 9+ years as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator!  Using the brush side of the Blushing Bride Stampin' Write Marker (from the Subtles Collection) coloring in these flowers is  a fun way to create a coordianting look.
Using the new Greetings Thinlits on our Big Shot Magnetic Platform and Die-Cutting Machine it's fun and easy to die-cut this greeting.  Layered in both the coordinating Blushing Bride and Black card stock this shadowing of the two is a fun look.  How simple it is to create this sentiment with a few twists of the wrist all in an easy hand-crafted card.

Bricks and butterflies hand-stamped card

I love a mix of what is soft to what is hard, creating a fun looking hand-stamped card.  Here with the look of the rough 'brick' wall and the soft, floating butterfly underneath you have a cool looking image that embraces all that is Summer at our home. This simple, quick and easy hand-stamped bricks and butterfly hand-crafted card is a fun twist on what you may expect.

I can't tell you how much I adore this new Watercolor Wings photopolymer stamp set!!  Such a beautiful collection that is limitless in color combinations.  Here pairing up the Daffodil Delight, Cherry Cobbler and Early Espresso inks for a warm and pretty watercolor looking butterfly.

This summer we have a wonderful collection of floating butterflies through my garden.  I adore these critters that symbolize restoration, a new start.
Creating a brick wall is fun and easy with the new Brick Wall embossing folder.  This 6"x6" extra large Embossing Folder is awesome!!  With the beauty of a red and white tipped brick wall (like we have at our home) you get the sense of the age, strength and rough that is in a brick wall.  Using the Stampin' Sponge and White Craft Ink this distressing is easy and fun to do.
With the help of our Color Coach and Paper Snips (103579) it's fun to combine colors and then create this window in the brick wall.  With super sharp tips, the Paper Snip is an amazing tool.  Here it trimmed out these 'bricks' to reveal the soft butterfly beneath.
Raised above to create dimension the Stampin' Dimensional adhesive (104430).
My dear friend who blesses me with her southern charm, Helyn, reminds me to decorate the INSIDE of our cards (she is so very good at this!!).  Using the cut bricks and adding them to the inside is a great way to utilize what you may have tossed away.  I love the interest to the inside of the card that is cohesive to the front.
Creating this card is easy with this simple collection of great tools that result in a cool crafting experience.

Deliver a fun, whimsical with interest hand-crafted card to those you love.  I like that this card has a soft and rough element to it.  Heavier than a butterfly while lighter than a brick it's fun to send a small piece of cheer and thank someone for their care. Join Us at our upcoming card making classes and you can bless another who deserves a pretty hand-stamped card.

What Others are SAYING about Getting Crafty with Jamie

Jamie is so passionate and creative about making cards - and wants everyone else to join her in the fun! She is so encouraging and positive in her attitude, helping me along when I get frustrated - and then rejoicing with me at the finished product! I love going to her classes to get new ideas, learn techniques, and have loads of fun in the process. ~ Christine C.

Jamie has wicked awesome classes! If you don’t like a particular stamp or paper/ink color Jamie wants you to change it to suit your style! I did my sister-in-law’s entire bridal shower from invitations/thank you cards, party favors to decorations, it was quaint and whimsical! Everyone ooh’d and ahh’d! I’ve had lots of special requests for classes and Jamie delivers; she always has tasty treats and flavored coffees too ~Ashley W.

I have been attending Jamie's classes for over a year. Her ideas for cards are fresh and fun. She always tries to have several different styles of cards available, so everyone gets to make cards that fit their personal style. The techniques she shows each class can be used in many different applications. She is very patient teacher when instructing class members on how to use the Stampin Up products. ~ Carol D.

If I looked up the word sparkle in the dictionary, I would find Jamie Albanese picture there. I have had the sweet blessing of knowing Jamie and her family for over 5 years now. Every time I am with her I feel loved and inspired. When I am in one of her classes I feel my creative juices flow, as she encourages me to go outside my comfort zone. Jamie helped our girl scout troop make cards for a soldier who needed some encouragement!!! For any of you who have not been in one of Jamie's classes, please don't let another day slip by. She is a beautiful friend and she will become yours too. ~ Blessings, Karen:-)

Jamie has a great eye for style and flair, and it shows in her work. Yet she can pick up on your own individual style and makes great recommendations. I love that she is always flexible for last-minute decision maker mommies like me! So much fun to host craft events with your friends and family - that personal touch always means so much. ~ Adonna
