I'm baaacccckkkk!  We had fun - but boy, the traveling was tough!  When I got home, Samantha had cleaned the kitchen and baked cookies for my return!  There are so many great things going on with Stampin' UP! We got a copy of the upcoming Spring mini - and it is sooo wonderful!  At the make and takes we played with lots of rub ons and some of the new striped ribbons!  Lots to share! 

So first I'm starting with something that didn't make it to Leadership!  This layout.....sigh.  This uses the Lucky me jumbo wheel and Pinch Proof stamp set.  I rolled the right side of the 12 x 12 twice with the jumbo wheel in Old Olive ink on Old Olive card stock that was cut to 11 x 11.  Then I took a dinner plate and lightly drew a circle to the left side.  Wipe the entire page with an Embossing Buddy (really, do this step, I promise!) and stamped the solid clover in Versamark and cover in Gold Embossing powder. Heat Emboss.

The embellishment was made by stamping the Pinch Proof circle in Old Olive and then again in Versamark and heat embossed Gold Embossing powder and punching each section out and layering on an Old Olive scallop.  Then I layered the entire thing onto a circle cut out Brushed Gold card stock with the Coluzzle.

The two strips of DSP are little pieces of Bali Breeze and the entire page and photos are mounted on Pumpkin Pie card stock.  And doesn't the entire page just speak of brotherly/sisterly LOVE!



But this one "made the board!" It's a bag and tag for a wine bottle (green wine?) using the same sets.  To make the bag I took apart a wine bag and copied the pattern onto the plain SU wrapping paper and wheeled it before I scored and folded it.  You need to set it aside and let it dry for a few minutes before you start folding it or it will smear.  The tag is the Pinch Proof set with the leprechaun stamped in Old Olive and the sentiment done with Old Olive and Always Artichoke Stampin; Write Markers.  The clovers were embossed in gold, cut out and popped up. The ribbon is Old Olive grosgrain and it wraps around the entire package.  Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran
