Just B Card Class:
I'm teaching my Just B card class today and wanted to make some special things for my customers. I got these ideas from my upline melissa but the designs are created by me.
Here is how I made each item:
Water bottle is a sheet of stampin up blue bayou paper and then I used a stampin up sponge and inked blue bayou and wild wasabi ink on the paper.. This is hard to see but it made the paper looked textured. I think used my scallop punch and punched a piece of wild wasabi paper and then using my circle punch i punched out sky blue paper. I then used the Bee stamp from the stampin up Just B stamp set
and tempting turquiose ink and placed that on my circle i punched out. I think added some wild wasabi ribbon to the top of the water bottle I used liquid glue for the bottle of the water bottle and snail glue for the top of the bottle. I also used stampin dimentionals for the punched out symbol. And that is how the water bottle is made.
The Note Pad: Very simple to make. I started out with a note pad from the dollar store. I think choose old olive paper and inked the sides using my old olive classic ink pad. I then used my stampin up spiral punch to make the sure the paper would fit around the spiral wire of the note pad. I think used a smaller piece of More Mustard paper and used my More mustard classic ink pad to destress the sides of the paper. I used the words HAPPY and CUZ from the Stampin up Just B stamp Set in elegant Eggplant and stamped them on the More Mustard Paper. I then used my scallop punch and Elegant Eggplant paper and my circle punch with whisper white paper. I think took my classic ink pad in Elegant Eggplant and stamped the Bee Image on the circle punch paper. I used the Elegant Eggplant ribbon to make a bow at the top. I used Snail glue and stampin dimentionals to put the note pad together. Hope you like it.
O-k Here is the gift bag. I started out with a white paper gift bag from walmart. I then took purely pomegranate paper and cut it to fit the bag with a extra 2 inches at top for handle. I think took a piece of Stampin up designer series paper in ginger blossom. and a piece of Groovy Guava. I then took the letter B , the word MINE and the flower from the stampin up stamp set Just B and stamped these images on the paper. The flower was stamped on whisper white paper. I used a stampin up rhinestone square brad in ice green for the flower. I then added a strip of Groovy Guava ribbon at the top. I used my Word Window punch to make the handle. I used snail glue and stampin dimentionals for put everything in place.
Enjoy.
The Chocolate Box: This is a prize I made for my card class. I used a blank chipboard box and I covered it in Stampin Up designer series paper. I used my Anywhere glue to hold the paper to the box. I used my stampin up sanding block to give the opening a rough look. I used my classic ink pad in chocolate chip to destress the sides of the box. I added some flowers and I used a stampin up rhinestone circle brad to hold the flowers in place with some liquid glue too. I think poked a hole in the top for a handle. I used stampin up ribbon in chocolate chip and a rhinestone square brad to old it in place. I then put chocolate bars in the box.. I think everyone will want to win this box.. Yummy !!!!!
Hope you enjoyed my creations sorry the post is so long.. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Your Story:
Because my pregnancy and Marleys birth were not a text book story, I really wanted a way to tell Marley her story when she was really old enough. So for this reason i made a little pocket in this layout to hold the story of her birth and the challenges that came along the way.
This will be the running joke of my blog but i started out with the colour wheel.. If i don't you will see layouts with orange and hot pink together because i am so sure i must be colour blind on some days and plus if you look back on layouts years ago you would think that blue and purple cardstock was on sale because that i all i ever used.. I don't know why.. so this way i always have a good arrangement of colour in my scrapbook..
This layout is on Orchid Opulence cardstock and my secondary colour is Rose red
I used my snail glue to place the paper and photos on the layout. I used my stamp a ma jig to aline my title. For my title I used my Lovely Letters stamp set in Rose Red classic ink pad. I also used the whisper white card stock for the titles.
Its a Girl:
This layout is a 2 page layout. The first side is highlighting the day we found out we were expecting a girl and the second side is highlighting the day our daughter Marley was born..
Of Coarse my first tool I used was the colour wheel.. I had a patterned paper that i got at my fav. scrapping store (the turtle) and I wanted to try and match the colours featured in that paper with my stampin up card stock. so the colours i Choose were : Tempting Turquoise, Cameo Coral, and Pretty in Pink . I inked the side of each paper using my Stampin up classic ink pads in the same colour as the card stock. I used my Snail adheasive and liquid glue to place all my photos, paper and chipboard to the layout. I also added a bit of ribbon. It is stampin up Tempting Turquoise
Here is the first layout of Marleys baby book:
First I used my Stampin up colour wheel. I start every layout with that because I can't match colours to save my life. This tool has all the colours from teh 4 colour familys stampin up offers and tells you a variety of colour choices that would work well. The cardstock I choose was Regal Rose, Almost amethyst, and Certainly Celery. I used my snail adheasive to place the ultra sound photos on the layout. I think used my stamp a ma jig to help me place my title in a straight line. For my letters I used the Defining Alphabet stamp set. For some textures to the page I used my soft subtles buttons and stampin up liquid glue. lastley I used my stampin up markers to write my journaling.
Hope you enjoy
Cheers

This tissue box was very easy to make. I used a wooden box from a crafting store. I used my Stampin up anywhere glue and glued on my Stampin up designer paper in Flowers for you and that was it.. Very simple and fast and makes a great gift.
