At this downline meeting, we decided to have a shoebox swap. Here are Denise, Julianne and Angie stamping away.
Peggy, Sandy and Cyndi are having a great time stamping!
This is our last dinner together at our townhouse. My next downline meeting will be at our new house! I’d love to have you join my team so you can be a part of this wonderful group of demonstrators.

In late October, I attended a scrapbook convention with three of my downline. It was wierd to be attending something other than a Stampin’ Up! convention. We all got a few new ideas to use in our upcoming classes. But we all agreed that there wasn’t the comraderie or excitement that is always at Stampin’ Up! events!

The first theme for October’s scrapbook club was birthday pages made in primary colors. The Big Shot "Alphabet Simple Letters" has become my favorite alphabet die cut.
The Big Shot "Big Bold Cupcake" sizzlits die cuts were very fun to use. Crimped the bottom of the cupcake and added brads to the top.
I’ve been wanting to try the Big Shot "Lattice" die for a while. Glue dots work the best to make them stick to cardstock.
The second theme was Christmas featuring Merry Moments designer series paper, Old Olive, Real Red and Very Vanilla cardstock.
Embossed words in Iridescent Ice embossing powder and punched with the ornament punch. Added silver cording on the back held with a brad.
This page features the styled vanilla hodgepodge hardware kit with retired real red striped grosgrain ribbon.
Again, the embossing was done with Iridescent Ice embossing powder.

One of my downline, Autumn, attended my recent Halloween class. She changed one project from a Halloween theme to an autumn theme. She used the Big Shot "Bag with Scallops" die cut to make the six bookmark look-a-like bases. She used the Big Shot "Alphabet Simple Letters" to spell out her name. The Scallop Punch, 1 3/8" punch and 1 1/4" punch and the Falling Leaves stamp set were also used. Don’t you love the new In-Colors of cardstock, ribbon and ink: Crushed Curry, Dusty Durango and Soft Suede? Great job Autumn!

My daughter wanted to redecorate her two-year-old’s room. Nothing easier than using Stampin’ Up!’s Decor Elements. She selected the Ginormous Flowers II, 114863, for $39.95.
She cut out the flowers and used temporary painter’s tape to place them on the wall.
Here she is showing how simple it is to apply the Decor Elements to the wall.
I love how she layered and overlapped the flowers.
Even better is she added some bling and dimension by using various brads and rhinestone brads (found on p. 179 of Stampin’ Up! catalog).
See how easy it was for her to redecorate a bedroom for less than $50!
