I have to say, I've been getting great comments since I started wearing my Simply Adorned Charms.  It all started when I participated in two swaps, one in Canada & the second in the States.  After receiving different ideas from demonstrators, I fell in love with these adorable charms…

I  have been displaying them in my studio and have them in bags, separated them in all the different sizes.  Here is a close up of one of the charms.  I don't have the name of the demonstrator that designed it but I just love it. 

Here  is one that I created in black & white.  Sorry for the picture, it is not as clear as I would of liked it to be.

You can purchase these charms from me 3 ways:

1. Email me

2. Shop on line

3. Come to one of my fun classes

The Simply Adorned charms and Chains are in the summer mini on p. 17

CHAINS:

Simply Adorned Bracelet 8" #117342

Simply Adorned Chain 24" # 116800

Simply Adorned Chain 34" # 116853

CHARMS:

Simply Adorned 5/8" circle charm #117349

Simply Adorned 5/8" square charm #118476

Simply Adorned 1 1/2" x 2" rectangle charm #116799

Simply Adorned 1" x 1 1/4" rectangle charm #116798

Simply Adorned 1" x 1" square charm #116797

I think it would make a fabulous gift for someone special, with the chains you can create necklaces,bracelets or even a key chain.    You can create your own inserts with you stampin supplies or add a picture.  I love that I can create inserts that match my clothes.  I am planning on giving one to one of my daughter's sweet teacher.  Can't wait to see you at my next simply adorned class, aren't they simply adorable… 

Tomorrow it is Friday, wohooooo!  Off to Kathie's workshop

There is more to General Session, Brent Steele presented My Digital Studio.  He geared his conversation to the men in the theater.  Most demonstrators are women but the husbands accompanied them to general session and were there too! I was surprised of all the men who use My Digital Studio.  Brent had them raise their hands and hello!  there are many of you out there!

Brent went on stage with his baseball cap and Cheetos, red bull and made sure to express his "manly" habits to the men in the theater.

He presented two projects he had created for his son:  A frame and a 8×8 scrapbook album.  What is so awesome about My digital Studio is that he was able to do the same album twice. How? by changing the pictures only and keeping the digital layout he had created initially.  How smart is that?  So both of his sons have their own football album. You must have children in multiple sports!  My digital studio is a great way to create these albums in a flash and would also make a awesome gift for Father’s Day.

Brent used the latest digital downloads available. These files are not available with the initial digital program but are available for a small extra fee:

 Happy Mother’s Day to all of the wonderful mothers!  Hope you had the best day!

Wow I just realized that I had to talk a lot more about this cruise.  There are so many things we did out there.  Day 2 was sea day, we were heading out to Barbados.  At a Stampin’up! event there is always General Session.  I would love to share with you some fabulous stampin’ projects.  Pam Morgan presented a Tropical theme party which is geared to prep for her sons pre-wedding party.  If you adore these projects, they are all available in the new summer mini catalogue.  You can order from me today or book a party of your own.

Wouldn’t these make great center pieces!

I will definitely do those for my daughter’s birthday party.  Actually, she will be able to help me out as it’s the exclusive Stampin’up Bigz Die Island Floral #118871. What is so practical and fun about using dies with the big shot is You can do 8 layers at a time.  Pam used the Island Oasis designer paper #117173.  The colors are so pretty.

Again using the Island Floral die from page 27 in the Summer mini to create a lei.  Pam gave us a great tip:  curl the petals with a bone folder and then use your paper piercer and string the flowers into our linen thread or hemp twine.

This is a banner Pam created  using the Pennant Die.  Guess what is celebra…?

It is celebrate in spanish

And now what is a party without favor boxes.  Pam used the island Oasis party favor boxes # 117178 from p. 27 of the mini.  There are 12 boxes with 12 bellybands included for only 7.95$ These are just stinkin’ cute!

With the same party favor boxes and island  oasis die, she decorated a string of low voltage patio-party lights.  It was just gorgeous!

Pam also used My digital studio # 118108 to create the invitation and the level 2 hostess stamp set Punched Posies from the summer mini. Get this exclusive hostess set when you have 395$ in sales or more.  Ask me how!

This is one of my favorite things that Pam shared.  She made for the bride to be a bracelet.  It is from the mini also on p.17.  She used the simply adorned bracelet #117342 with the circle charms #117349 and square charms #118476.  Inside she added movers and shakers itty bitty bits stamped images #117056.  These images were punched with the punch pack itty bitty shapes #  118309.  So no cutting involved.  How sweet and delicate.  What a great mother’s day gift or even for my sweet daughters.

Remember you can always shop on-line.  Click on my upper right-hand button.  And get these fabulous products at your door step.  It is not too late to ask gift certificates for mother’s day.  Give your spouses my email and your wish list.  It is that easy!

I hope you enjoyed my share today, I need to finish prepping for Lysanne’s workshop tonight.
