Christmas Scrap Class

2009-12-11T21:39:00.005-05:00

Here is the layout from last night's class...Thanks to all the girls for being in my club for the last 6 months!

New Stamper’s 6 club starting in January! Sign up now!

2009-12-10T17:19:00.001-05:00

What is a Stamper's 6 Club? Think of the Stamper's 6 Club as a way to get everything from your Stampin' Up! Wish List slowly and affordably - and some of it even for free!

What do I have to do? Call me or e-mail me with a Stampin' Up! order totaling $25 or more once a month, before tax, for just 6months! There is no club fee, the money that you spend is only on Stampin' Up! Product.

How does it work? There will be 6 people in the club and the club will last for 6 months. Since there are 6 people spending at least $25, every club order is guaranteed to total $150 - the minimum order amount needed to earn free stamp sets and products from Stampin' Up! Since there are 6 people and 6 months, this allows each of the club members to take a turn picking out free product.

So it lasts for 6 months, but from when to when? The next group will run from January 2010 to June 2010. This club also runs over Sale-A-Bration, where everyone can pick out an additional free item in that mini catalog!

How and when do I get orders to you? You can call or e-mail me with your order and pay by Money Order, Check or Credit Card. The orders are due on the 2nd Wednesday of every month.

Do I have to attend anything or host a workshop? No! You are under no obligation to attend or host anything! Of course, you can if you want to!

Anything else? Yes, as part of the club, you can attend one class a month for a $3! (a $10 value).

Dreidel House

2009-12-04T08:54:00.004-05:00

About a week ago I was contacted by Rabbi Silberstein, who found me on the web. He asked if I would be interested in teaching a group of teens how to make Holiday cards for a nursing home and hospital. Of course I answered, this was right up my alley, the voulunteering part, not the Jewish part. What was a good (ok, maybe lapsed) Catholic to do? Of course I would do it and I would dontate all the materials. Now what to design? No Christmas tree's, no ornaments, wreaths...there when all my stamp sets! Rabbi told me we could use winter themes....snowflakes, snowmen, pine cones...we were all set. And thanks to creativity of some one on Splitcoast was able to re-create a Menorah.
I really didn't know what to expect, 30 teens, mostly boys, where they going to want to make cards? I was so nervous, little kids are easy, but the older ones always give you problems...
Well, I had none of that! What a wonderful group of kids! Not only did they make over a hundred cards, but they had fun while doing it! They were very creative, changing the designs and coming up with their own ideas...I want to say they had a great time!
This was a wonderful group lead by Rabbi Silberstein that gives back to the community. Last week he said they ran a carnival for kids in a shelter! Kids who give back to the community, what a beautiful thing!
For more information about this group, visit their website: Dreidel House

Here are the cards I designed:

Thanks again to the Rabbi for calling me, I'm glad I answered the phone!

June Class

This was an origami shirt we created at my June class for Father's day. I found the instruction video on you tube. We also created a two page "Park Days" layout using the sizzix machine and cheep talk stamp set. Paper is from the "walk in sunshine" set.

ALERT: Accessoies retiring earlier than normal

2009-05-26T18:48:00.001-04:00

We have received word from the Home Office that the retiring accessories list will be posted on June 1st along with the Last Chance List (stamps). What does that mean to me, you say? Well, it means that unlike stamp sets, which Stampin' Up manufactures right up until June 30th, when the accessories sell out, they are gone for good, no matter if there's a whole month left of the catalog or not. In the past, items have sold out in a few hours, and by the end of a week most of the list is gone completely.
SO--this is what this means for me and you. If there is ANYTHING in the list below that you would be heartbroken if you did not get a hold of and it retired on you, you need to order NOW.
MAKE SURE YOU GET YOUR IN COLOR REINKERS!!!! We know for SURE that the 2008-9 In Colors and anything that includes them will be going. Any and all of the accessory items are also subject to retirement.

Here's what to expect on the Accessories list:In Color pads and refillsIn Color cardstock, all sizesALL In Color ribbons, as well as Kiwi Kiss Satin, Pig Tails, Dress Up, and Valet Ribbon Originals, 1.25 inch Pink Pirouette grosgrain and Riding Hood Red taffeta.In Color courduroy & designer buttons, Designer Hardware (both sets)DSP that contains In ColorsMANY if not all of the other DSP'sMANY if not all of the Simply Scrappin' and Simply Sent kitsThe Coluzzle System (replacement blades already sold out)Some Decor Elements items we've been toldEmbellishments that include In Color colors such as Fleurettes, Flower Fusion TooBright Delights rubons, Blooms Again die cuts
Other possibilities to see retired:Stampin' Around wheelsribbon, brads, buttons, embellishmentspossibly some envelope sizesother rubonssome Big Shot dies may retire from the SU line or the Sizzix line
I will place your orders as soon as I get them in order to ensure that as many of you get the items you want as possible--however, there are ZERO guarantees after midnight on May 31st! So don't wait--order now. Stampin' Up typically does not place these items on sale as they sell out too fast anyway, so there is nothing to be gained and everything to be lost by hesitating. Email me today! Ukemamadesigns@optonline.net

Mother's Day Classes

2009-05-14T21:12:00.008-04:00

Sorry for the late post, but I've been crazy busy! My little one is graduating tomorrow from pre-school. I have some family coming and can't wait to see her on stage!

I am also busy planning my next all day crop. The last one was a huge success. Thanks to all the ladies that came, I had a wonderful time. We had vendors from Close to My Heart: http://www.cre8ivgrl.myctmh.com/ and Creative Memories: www.mycmsite.com/triciagrauert. Visit their websites and support them. And of course I was there too: http://www.ukemamadesigns.stampinup.com/

Here are the pictures from my Mother's Day Classes:

Love these pages? I totally cased them from:

Thanks for the great layout!

April Card Class

2009-04-23T10:54:00.006-04:00

Sorry I'm posting so late, but life got in the way. My fridge broke down and we lost almost all that was inside. You don't realize how much stuff is in your fridge till it brakes. Who needs 4 different types of BBQ sauce? Not me, not anymore!

Here are the pictures from my April card class. This was a watercolor theme and we used 3 different ways to achieve the looks. All were done on watercolor paper for the best effect. The 3-D project was made with the matchbox dye that's available in the Occasion Mini. Hope you enjoy them!

April Scrap Class

2009-04-03T08:29:00.007-04:00

Easter was the theme this month. The girls created a 2 page layout with a cute punch bunny I learned how to do on Splitcoast. They used a wheel for the eggs in grass and glued some beads to give it some bling! The grass was made by cutting off the top and fraying half a ribbon. Enjoy!

Year In A Day Class

2009-03-31T10:33:00.002-04:00

I want to thanks all the ladies for coming to my 1st ever Year In A Day Class. It was a huge hit! It did take a lot longer than expected, but with all the talking going on I can see why! We all had a great time and I look foward to my next Year In A Day,this time a baby book!

Feeling Lucky!

2009-03-31T10:29:00.003-04:00

Here is the layout from our St. Patrick's Day layout. I made a leprechaun and a shamrock out of punches. The background paper is also embossed with a small shamrock image.

Bummed about 1st Scrap Class

2007-10-25T21:22:00.000-04:00

Tonight was supposed to be my 1st scrap class and 2 people no-showed, one was home sick and the othe who knows? The one lady that did show, wanted to post-pone till the others could come. Who can blame her, why party alone? I made the cutest pages for them to do and now it will have to wait till next week.

The good thing is, now other can join the class if they want. I'll post the day and time this weekend if anyone wants to join:)

Thank you Ronda Wade for the inspiration, who am I kidding, I CASED this right from her!
