Here is a few pictures of them.  The girls were my source of inspiration for these cupcake boxes & matching cards. Although the bunnies didn't fit in, the regular cupcakes did.  We made the cupcake boxes in different colors and patterns.  It was so much fun.  As for myself, I discovered a new passion, decorating these cupcakes was easier then I thought it would be.   

Don't miss out on April promotions, there is only one week left!

Happy Easter!

Sale-a-bration sale is almost over!  4 Days left.  I admit I used the Sale-a-bration stamp set Bliss or in french Joie, again and again.  It was my #1 favorite.  Had a workshop this morning, and this is one of the cards we made.  I did add a little preview from the next 2011-2012 Catalog, the four frames stamp set.  Also, there is only 1 month left for the Occasions mini, and we don't know if any of these products are coming back, most of them likely not!  So I have highlighting them, like the Rosettes!  One of my workshop attendees, Carmen said to me today that I should have been born in those "vintage"days.  She said she always can recall when it's a "Kim Card".  What is your style?  Tell me what do you like?  I think it will be one of my questions next month with my Downline.  I have used two backgrounds stamp set for this card.  Can you guess which ones they are?  I have a new favorite… Wonderfully Worn.  It creates these dots just like the spritzer tool

Here is a close up of the specs from the Wonderfully Worn Background.  Add this one on your wish list it's a must!

I also have been creating and prepping for our second Creative Escape Weekend and the projects are fabulous.  The sad part is that I cannot share with you until it's over.  But I designed 4 wowser scrapbook pages for attendees.  Also have created  a circle scrapbook in a box, a delicious &  rich color canvas, cupcake treats, fabric galore projects…  I can't wait to share with you after the retreat.

Last weekend, I hosted a scrapbook day in our pj's, it was part 2, we made 10 pages.  We had part 1 in December. What a fun and relaxing day!  We chatted, ate, created, laughed and the best part is that I inspired a few to create, in fact one of my dear friend and demonstrator thanked me with a lovely email saying:  " I had rocked her world and helped her get her mojo back".  I love to help others and was so happy for her!   I also have to thank my helper Lysanne who mass produce lots of kits to go!  Here is a sneak peek of 4 of our projects.  Oh and I forgot to say, everyone brought a dish, it was so yummy!  Again, I am grateful for spending time with such wonderful people.

If you would like to take advantage of the kit to go, email me now!  I have a few put together + I am hosting the same class on a week night!

I also want to take this time to announce Part 3:  Vintage style!  I am hosting part 3 May 7th.  Email me to reserve your spot.

It's a short post today, as I am putting finishing touches for my classes at our creative escape retreat.  Can't wait to post sneak peek pictures about that(wink)!

have a wonderful weekend!

Back to the stamping:)  I am going to share the instructions for the mini album this weekend, it's on my to do list.  I am so exciting it will be a video, my very first.  So stop by this weekend to view it.

I met with my stamp club members.  Here is what we came up for Rachel's grand-daughter Camélya for her 3rd birthday, this sweet birthday card and matching mini album.

I told you I was in a spring kind of mood!  Don't you love the color combo!  I love the Easter Blossoms stamp set as it has more than one use for it like a cute birthday card for Camélya!

We then worked on the mini album, how adorable, Grand-ma Rachel will be able add pictures of Camélya on the inside of her precious album.

Here is a video on how to make the album!

We had a great time creating it and today's stamping made it feel not so cold as my studio was warmed up with Spring colors and Love!  Have a great weekend and make sure to stop by for my first video!

I am having a fun day.  I'm planning a wonderful project for Melissa's chicks and chocolate party tomorrow night.  (Picture below)  If you would like to join us, email me! Class is 20$ or 25$ if you want 20 pieces of antique brads included.

This afternoon, we are heading to the physio as Megan injured herself.  Please pray for her.  She has been training since summer for this important  EOSIC competition on Friday in Toronto.  Poor girl, she is trying to pretend all is good because she doesn't want to miss the event.  It makes me feel so sad for her, as a nurse and especially a mom, I need to remind her that even though she has been working so hard, and put her heart and soul into preparing for this competition that we might not be able to go and that her health is much more important.

Now, have you guess which product as been most popular in the sale-a-bration brochure?

I had amazing helpers.  Thank you Lysanne for sewing the apron together and Therese for embroidering Jordan's name.  Jordan is super excited and enjoys it very much.  Imagine a scrapbook page with the candy cane designer paper that matches her apron.  I'll have to work on that!  I love the candy cane fabric.  Friday, I received my Occasions mini order, and inside was the new springtime vintage & Sweet Stitches fabrics, and I said to myself, Jordan needs two more with these fabulous fabrics.  They are wowsers!  If you are a demonstrator, you can preorder products from the mini since December 1st and for customers you will only be allowed to order starting January 4th when the mini goes live!

Remember yesterday, my team had done chunky frames.  Well my daughters each wanted one for their rooms.  I had extra frames from the ladies that canceled last minute so I let Megan and Lauren have theirs.  Well, they really impressed me!  Here is Megan who perfected, on her own a frame to match her room.

Also if you love Scrapbooking like I do, Join me for a Stamp-A-Rama Day in your pyjas on Dec 19th.  Details HERE

I devoted my 4 make & takes to the Occasions Mini catalogues since we only have until April 3oth to order.  We won’t know if some of the products from the mini will be in the new 2010-2011 idea book & catalogue.  So if you want some products from one of the best mini, you better order them NOW!

Make & Take #1:

The bird book on p. 34, love these!  They are so cheap 6.95$  What a fabulous gift for a teacher, mother or event for one of your kids.  You can add pictures to them.  This bird came with a sample of the Designer Series Paper Stack.  Demonstrators also got a sample of the Sweet Pea Stitched Felt.

Make & Take #2

There are so many things you can do with Stampin’Up! exclusive Milk Carton!  I used the window sheets from the Catty to create this clear milk carton.  I wanted to see the chocolate.  As a matter of fact, the reason I didn’t post my make and takes sooner is because some of the guest who came to Shelli’s event ate my Cadbury Mini Eggs!  Yes we had to buy some more!  I just love the end result of this make and take.  It’s too cute!  For the greeting, I used the Eggcoutrements stamp set and used the matching Designer label punch, to punch out the greeting.  I then added a flower punched from Trio Flower punch.  If you don’t have this punch, you can purchase the Eggcellent Eggs kit, they have these cut adorable flowers.  I finished off with a soft subtle brad. I sealed my project with the sticky strips.  But at home I just added 1/2" Library Clip so my kids can grab the eggs for Easter.  Voilà!

Make & Take # 3

I thought this could be a cute Mother’s Day card!  Can you believe my helpers passed 150 of those babies in the big shot with the Movers & Shapers Die and I used one of the punch windows.  We then passed all 150 whisper white papers in the Stampin’up! Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Folder.  I am kind of addicted to those! Can’t wait to see which one stampin’up! will come up with next!  There is a sample of the Designer Series Paper  Stack.  My greeting was from the Well Scripted stamp set.  The bird was from the Extra Large Two-Step Bird Punch.  They are great to store away because you can lock them flat!  And last but not the least, one of my favorites, 5/8" Satin Ribbon.  (There are 9 colors in total)  I used the certainly celery.

Make & Take 4

 Well my last Make and take was a gift card holder.  I made it with the Stampin’up! top note die.  Again, I used a sample of the Designer series paper stack and the Well scripted stamp set.  I embellished with one of the sending love epoxy brads in chocolate chip.  Love the chocolate bunny stamp!  There are so many things to do with this bunny!  During embossing, one of the bunnies lost his ear, my daughter Jordan said that someone ate his ears.  Too cute!

Well these were my 4 quick and easy make and takes!

If you want some of these amazing products featured from the mini, you better order them NOW, we don’t know if they will make it in the next catalogue.  Email me, I order weekly.  In a rush, just order online 24/7, click on my order button (on the right of my blog)or go to www.kimassaly.stampinup.net
