I love what I do. It so fun to create and share with others while on my creative journey. I love to teach new techniques and see the joy on peoples faces when they create something of their own.

My life has moved my in some new directions and away from paper crafting. Don't get me wrong, I still really enjoy paper crafting but it is no longer a major focus for me. (I will post later about my new adventures:)<br />
<br />
I am no longer a Stampin Up demonstrator and therefore this blog is going to look very different going forward. I am leaving the blog active because there are some great projects and posts that I love and want access to. I will be posting occasionally going forward but it will be for challenge entries and fun projects, not for business. <br />
<br />
I still love SU products will you will see them in future posts, if you are looking for a Demo I would be happy to find you one. <br />

It is Monday and normally that would be a bad thing but the snow is melted and the weather is beautiful! Unfortunatly our city has a lot of clean up to do from all of the snow last week, so many trees were damaged is just hurts the heart to look at it! My area was not hit too bad, our trees are small, but some areas are just awful!!<br />

On to brighter news though... STARS<br />
Stampin' Up put out a video on how to make some super cute Star boxes using the Star Framelits in the Annual Catalogue. The "Under the Tree" speciality designer series paper is perfect for these little boxes too. Below the video you can see the ones I made using this tutorial. <br />

Here you can see where I cut a tab down and did not add adhesive so it just tucks in. You can add a little treat to the box, such as jelly beans and the box is not ruined when opened. So Fun!</div>

I love doing them and Sketch challenges are my favourite. Freshly Made Sketches had a wonderful and simple sketch this week and since the weather outside is frightful I thought I would get crafting to pass the time.<br />
<br />
I have been in the mood to make Christmas cards this week, and with the weather in Calgary you can see why!<br />

I used the new "All is Calm" Designer Washi Tape to create the tree and punched it out with the new SU Tree Punch. I added some touches of silver and Lost Lagoon with paper, ink and the embellishments. Nothing to complicated and I now have a simple and elegant Christmas card. Let me know what you think.<br />

<br /></div>
I made these yesterday and they turned out pretty good. I made them a little bland because I was making them for my picky kids. My husband wanted a batch with a bit more flavour. So here we go. <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I got the original recipe from <a href="http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Pizza-Muffins/Detail.aspx?event8=1&prop24=SR_Title&e11=pizza%20muffins&e8=Quick%20Search&event10=1&e7=Home%20Page&soid=sr_results_p1i1">allrecipes.com</a> but I changed it up a bit so I have put it on my blog for everyone who wanted the recipe I used.</div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2 1/2 cups flour</div>
<div>
2 tsp baking powder</div>
<div>
1/2 tsp baking soda</div>
<div>
1/2 tsp salt</div>
<div>
1 tsp dried basil</div>
<div>
1/2 tsp dried oregano</div>
<div>
2 cups shredded cheese, divided</div>
<div>
1 egg beaten</div>
<div>
1 3/4 cups buttermilk</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Optional add-ins -- I added 3/4 cup turkey pepperoni and pizza sauce, other ideas are sun-dried tomatoes, onion, bell peppers, bacon, olives and whatever else you like on pizza. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Directions - Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease muffin cups, set aside</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In a large bowl combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, basil and oregano. Stir until well blended. Mix in 1 1/2 cups of cheese and other add-ins. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In another bowl beat egg and mix in buttermilk, combine with dry ingredients and blend well. </div>

<br /></div>
<div>
Here is where I changed it a bit again. I spooned just enough batter in to each muffin cup to fill the bottom and then added a teaspoon of pizza sauce to each. I then added more batter to each cup. I then put another teaspoon of pizza sauce and some cheese and pepperoni on top of each muffin.<br />
<br /></div>

Project Life is a great, easy and beautiful way to scrapbook. One of my favourite things about it is that even if you do not like the format of divided pages you can use all of the wonderful supplies on a standard 12x12 page! So fun. Check out this wonderful video showcasing the beautiful and simple Love Story Collection from Project Life is.<br />

Of course there are 30 or 40 other items I could put on this list but these popped out at me right away. The bundles are such a great deal and all of them are so versatile. I have many clients who love to scrapbook and create cards and these are great for both! I used the top one "Fall Fest" for my Thanksgiving Centrepiece last week as well as for next months Scrapbook Club page.</div>

Do you have a bunch of supplies at home but you do not know what to do with them? Or maybe you are just getting started and don't know what to buy or how to make your pages look like art!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Maybe it's time to join a scrapbooking club. Once a month we meet at my house, there is great company, wonderful food and a chance for you to create a 2 page 12x12 scrapbook layout. I design the pages and supply all of the stamp sets, ink and other hardware needed to create a great keepsake for you to take home. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #741b47;"><b>What is involved when you join?</b></span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
- Every club one lady is named the hostess, the hostess supplies the yummy treats and gets to take advantage of all of the hostess benefits for that month. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
- You may be required to bring some 12x12 card stock for the base of the page and you will be responsible for your own title, photos and journalling but ALL other supplies are included.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
- Cost? That will be determined by the number of members we have. In the past with 7 or more people participating the cost was a $20 order of Stampin' Up product for you to keep and a $10 contribution to the hostess' kitty.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
-- What is the Kitty?? This is a pot that everyone contributes to so that when it is your month to be hostess you get an additional sum of money to add to your hostess benefits. This way if you have been eyeing up a more expensive product like a Big Shot or Ink Pad set you can purchase it without breaking the bank!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here is a little sneak peek from September's Scrapbook page. </div>

<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Our First meeting is September 6 at 6:30 pm. </div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">note - we do not meet in December (it is just too busy!)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #741b47;">Other great reasons to join</span>. </b></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
- Every month I challenge our members to go home and re-create the scrapbook layout with their own supplies. We will share these pages at the next club and this will help you use the supplies you have or buy as well as get your creative juices flowing.</div>
<div>
- You will meet some wonderful ladies in your community who also love to create. </div>
<div>
- Club members get all of the catalogues for free as well as some special gifts from me!</div>
<div>
- If you miss a meeting I will ensure you still get your pages but I encourage you to come as often as possible so you do not miss out on specials, creative ideas and camaraderie.</div>

Thanksgiving is a long way away. It really is not. It is only about 7 weeks away here in Canada! Can you believe it!?<br />
<br />
I spent a good part of Friday last week working on this adorable bird house for our Thanksgiving Centrepiece. Some of the stamping is from ALL NEW stamp sets in this years Holiday Catalogue. <br />
<br />
I got the bird house at Michaels Craft Store, it was unpainted so I started with painting it in the brown/orange fall colours that you see here. Once dry I added the flower garden and roof decorations. This is where I spent most of my time but I love how it turned out so it was worth it. <br />
<br />
The wreath and pumpkins were stamped with the Wondrous Wreath and Fall Fest Stamp sets. I added some punched out birds, embellishments such as the leaves (got to love that bird punch) and button, to finish the look.<br />
<br />
I hope you like it.<br />

The flowers were made using a small scallop punch, the retired boho blossom punch and the wonderful all new fringe scissors. I added leaves using the bird builder punch.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
For the sunflowers I used the retired Boho blossom punch again and a 1/2" circle punch. I sponged in some colour and used my piercing tool on the center to look like seeds. "Give Thanks" is from the stamp set "Good Greetings" a hostess set and is framed in gold card stock.<br />
<br />

The wreath is from the new "Wondrous Wreath" set but I did cut down the wreath to fit on this bird house. The original is almost double the size. A little linen thread finished the look.</div>

In 8 days you will be able to order from this years Stampin' Up Holiday Catalogue! Let me tell you, every page of this catalogue inspires me to create some fun holiday project! There are wonderful MDS downloads, great Project Life kits as well as other really cute card Kits. There are a number of great bundles and some amazing stamp sets of course.</div>
<br />
Below are just a couple of very simple cards I have created with the "White Christmas" stamp set and the All New Confetti Stars punch (OMG I LOVE IT!).<br />
<br />
I hope you like them and I hope you are as inspired by the new Catalogue as I am!<br />

This card was created using the "White Christmas" stamp set. I also used some of the Blendabilities markers. I added a little glitter with some dazzling details and backed the image with Lost Lagoon Card Stock. </div>

Sorry but the pictures of this card are a bit washed out. I used Vanilla paper as my top layer, Soft Suede and Cherry cobbler for my other layers. The "Merry" is from a now retired Framelits set that was still on the clearance rack the last time I looked. My favourite part of this card is all the little stars! These were made with the new "Confetti Stars Punch" in the Holiday Catalogue. I love this punch. I used champagne glitter paper to punch out the stars and gold and cherry cobbler paper for the "merry".<br />
<br />
They were two quick and simple cards and I hope to have more to show you later this week. <br />
<br />
Thank you for looking.<br />

Sorry for my long absence. This has been one of the busiest summers the Yates Family has seen in a long time! We have a fun new place at a nearby lake and we have been visiting with friends and family. Then there was that 2 weeks where I had really bad strep throat! <br />
<br />
Well my oldest girl heads back to school tomorrow and I am back on track. I just got my pre-order from the upcoming Holiday Catalogue and I have to say OMG!!!! Every page of this catalogue is packed with great ideas and product for the upcoming holiday season. I cannot wait to get in my craft room, create and share.<br />
<br />
In the meantime I have started to organize my 2014/2015 Club and there is a couple of spaces left. If you are interested in joining please email me for details at janetyates@shaw.ca.<br />
<br />
Look for upcoming Card Classes for Christmas too. I have updated the tabs at the top too. Some upcoming events, News and specials not to mention a couple of Product Shares.<br />
<br />
My goal this week is to post some sneak peeks from the Holiday Catalogue so check back soon.<br />
<br />
I hope you are enjoying what is left of summer.<br />

Hello all. Sorry it has been awhile since I posted. It has been insane around here. There is a lot going on and now that Spring has arrived officially we are gearing up for summer!<br />
<br />
It is teacher appreciation week at my daughters school so I made some cards for all of the teachers using one of my favourite new stamp sets from the 2014-2015 catalogue "Work of Art."<br />
<br />

A week where we take the time to say Thank You to all of the very hard working nurses out there who do a job that most of us could not stomach. I know a few nurses and they are amazingly hard working, caring people who do there best everyday. <br />
<br />
My very best friend in the world is a Nurse and she called me up and asked me to make some thank you cards for the nurses she works with. Of course all she asked was that they have that super cute Punch art Owl Nurse!<br />
<br />
So for all of the Nurses out there who work so hard everyday ... "You just give, give, give ... thanks, thanks, thanks."<br />

Yesterday I posted my new favourite Gift Card Holder! I am loving the versatility and fun of the box card and now you can add a gift card and make it the perfect gift for anyone you know! Check Pinterest, I promise you will find a box card theme to meet your needs.<br />
<br />
Here it is, the quick how to so you can get creating some fun cards.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxCiwS0emuHIWXJZtjGGjm89Zxx6rU8OX7wpubow0ls8Z-nurELqwl9ISi2zqPcqapYXx8WVyLfsOtf-3h6NwYixkLwqD3aCNfgggEZcz7FB04LogrGj1PAYun-lWIqpZL0QHscoQ1u_I/s1600/IMG_3606.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxCiwS0emuHIWXJZtjGGjm89Zxx6rU8OX7wpubow0ls8Z-nurELqwl9ISi2zqPcqapYXx8WVyLfsOtf-3h6NwYixkLwqD3aCNfgggEZcz7FB04LogrGj1PAYun-lWIqpZL0QHscoQ1u_I/s1600/IMG_3606.JPG" height="213" width="320" /></a></div>
Start with a piece of Card Stock measuring 4 1/4" x 11.<br />Score the 4 1/4" end at 2 1/4".<br />Score the 11" end at 3 1/2", 5", 8 1/2" and 10". Cut the score lines on one side down to the center line (I cut it on the 2" side so the flaps were a little shorter than the base of the card). Trim off the short tab (as seen in the picture)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUsDFjNH2a8lNUgMDEMMBanf4KDjwAfc473nB-e2oe1ix3Y6gNtRqmX5NiwPDuVG6YIH_zGZnve3_6gUgts9Fhh1vAVRPwTMs9n7WYn5I-hQ05QOlryqun5O7tqw-fzMa5t-Mp9U-ILE8/s1600/IMG_3608.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUsDFjNH2a8lNUgMDEMMBanf4KDjwAfc473nB-e2oe1ix3Y6gNtRqmX5NiwPDuVG6YIH_zGZnve3_6gUgts9Fhh1vAVRPwTMs9n7WYn5I-hQ05QOlryqun5O7tqw-fzMa5t-Mp9U-ILE8/s1600/IMG_3608.JPG" height="213" width="320" /></a></div>
Cut 2 small scrap pieces to 4 1/2" x 1" and score at 1/2" on both ends. Fold into a Z shape and add adhesive. <br /><br />These are the pieces you will put inside the box to attach your embellishments.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQQsN9dLSAGgPhOtaZDgriohjdcK_o2cqjT6JOSer1RuoIWY0umfevTMdit9y1yow5fUbKwQhPCjhhxm5IPRrasKy5tJ7IwB5vqu4oyfqLgGDs0plL2Y7c3lhS-oGQFuPUEdrATReGF7o/s1600/IMG_3610.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQQsN9dLSAGgPhOtaZDgriohjdcK_o2cqjT6JOSer1RuoIWY0umfevTMdit9y1yow5fUbKwQhPCjhhxm5IPRrasKy5tJ7IwB5vqu4oyfqLgGDs0plL2Y7c3lhS-oGQFuPUEdrATReGF7o/s1600/IMG_3610.JPG" height="213" width="320" /></a></div>
It is easier to attach your DSP pieces to the flaps after your box is assembled. This way you know what side of the flap to use and which way is up. DSP Sizes needed are 2 each:<br />1 7/8"x 3 3/8" and 1 7/8" x 1 3/8" You are now ready to add your Z shaped inserts.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here is a quick shot of what the interior looks like. I attach the embellishments with window sheets usually in order to give the illusion of floating. <br />

<br />
Now on to the Gift Card holder. Cut a piece of Card Stock (in the same colour as the base) to 4 1/2" (plus 1/16") x 1 3/8". Score on both ends at 1/2". Add adhesive as shown.<br />
Cover the front with DSP, measuring<br />3 3/8" x 1 1/4"<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Attach to the backside of the box card. <br /><br />If you want to add a layer for writing on it would measure <br />3 3/4" x 3 3/8".<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Here is another finished card. I love the new word bubbles stamp set and framelits. Too Fun. As I said, I used window sheets to make the bubbles appear to float. <br />
<br />
Let me know what you think and if you create a card I would love to see it.<br />

I also wanted to give her a gift card to Chapters. I decided to create a box card that would also hold her gift card so I have the best of both worlds. Let me know what you think!<br />

I changed the card to be wider but shorter and I was able to make it long enough to add a pocket that would easily hold a gift card. <u>It still fits in an envelope too! </u> There are so many wonderful ideas for Box cards out there and now you can add a gift card!<br />
<br />
<br />
Mother's Day is this Sunday! I am very excited to give this card to my Mom.<br />

We are into our LAST month of the 2013-2014 Annual Catalogue, the <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ItemList.aspx?categoryid=1895" target="_blank">retired list</a> is up and shrinking by the day and the countdown is on to the launch of the NEW Annual Catalogue! <br>
<br>
I was lucky enough to attend an event this past week, where I got to see a preview of the catalogue and got to bring my very own copy home! I can only show you the cover at this point, so sorry, but soon enough you will be able to get your hands on a copy or check it out on-line.<div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCKxykjdsRMUzmCBdXZfWFQ8G5G2qRXwJNyuwQnNS7kWAajZdzr_4VpOBxryZBlU-wgOd2REDqoD_V1EL3Poykqa08d7WCba-9Nn_luTQEnDdlOrgksZtg99ckRTurByrQrY-1oYjp6QY/s640/blogger-image--1216728979.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCKxykjdsRMUzmCBdXZfWFQ8G5G2qRXwJNyuwQnNS7kWAajZdzr_4VpOBxryZBlU-wgOd2REDqoD_V1EL3Poykqa08d7WCba-9Nn_luTQEnDdlOrgksZtg99ckRTurByrQrY-1oYjp6QY/s640/blogger-image--1216728979.jpg"></a></div><br><br>
I have placed my pre-order and once my goodies arrive I will be posting some Sneak Peeks. I do have one sneak peek today. At the Launch Party I received a brand new Stamp Set from the upcoming catalogue! Very exciting stuff. Here is a quick (and I do mean, quick) card I created with this very versatile set. "A Work of Art"<br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBleNGRo4ii-pwrPfOuM2au5EMnOQ4L_oiWjDgz72yidIkuLtxAc216U_Lvg8W8OZPElYcMczTnUrgE-kZFICZmrvX8bRsphYjE8QME_a2GU6gbmCdh74Ok94xzgajW-MEclln4rZVsug/s640/blogger-image--1305001516.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBleNGRo4ii-pwrPfOuM2au5EMnOQ4L_oiWjDgz72yidIkuLtxAc216U_Lvg8W8OZPElYcMczTnUrgE-kZFICZmrvX8bRsphYjE8QME_a2GU6gbmCdh74Ok94xzgajW-MEclln4rZVsug/s640/blogger-image--1305001516.jpg"></a></div><br>
<br>
Fun right. This is creates some amazing backgrounds as well as is wonderful to create quick and fun cards for those last minute events in our lives. I am sure I can work it into scrap booking too.<br>
<br>
Do you want to receive a FREE copy of this all new Catalogue? Place an order with me in May and I will be sure to get you a copy for your very own!<br>

<br />
It has been awhile since I did a challenge. I choose "Fab Friday" because I like sketch challenges and I really liked the inspiring examples they have. <br />
I still struggled with it, as always. I tried a couple of different themes and colour combos but in the end I went with simple neutrals. It is a little rugged for a wedding card but it is still elegant. I hope you like it.<br />

<br />
Below are few of the items that I like best and miss most<br />
