I love the new Level B Hostess set "Floral Fruits"! It is soooo cute!! It can be yours FREE with a $250 funshop or order!!

I made a super, super quick card using this set tonight. I'm not real crazy about this card, it is very plain but it is still fun...after all it has polka dots!! I think I might redo this one later on, but for now it'll do.

Stamps: Floral Fruits
Paper: TAC Scarlet, Robins Egg DCWV, TAC Ivory

Ink: Red Magic & Tea Leaves VersaMagic & Champagne VersaMark

Other: Ribbon

Can I Ask For a Favor? + Blog Candy

Hi everyone!! This is an unusual blog post I know!! But, my brother who lives in Kansas City was chosen to have one of his photographs displayed at Union Station in Kansas City!! He takes AWESOME photographs!! Along with this, there is also a People's Choice Award contest where the public can vote on their favorite photo. Would you do me a favor and send a vote his way?? I'd REALLY appreciate it!! (You can see a very small version of the picture he took above.)

Here's the details and I also attached the note he sent my way below! He's a funny guy!! :)

Go to this web address: http://artworkkansascity.wordpress.com/2009-artwork/visual-arts-exhibition/ At the bottom there is a little gray box. In the "Other" section type: U6

You have to make sure to enter the "U" as an uppercase U. "U6" that 's all you have to enter!!

Here's the email my brother, his name is Travis, sent:

"Good morning! I need to ask each of you a favor: Vote for me, then tell everyone you know to vote for me as well. It’s that simple.

You can only vote once per computer, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t vote from work, vote from home, vote from your BlackBerry, and then vote from the PC of that coworker that never locks their computer when they get coffee. Please follow the link below and then click "On Display – Visual Arts Exhibition". The number for my picture is "U6", so enter that code (including the uppercase "U") in the "Other" box and click vote. If you actually want to look at my picture, then you can do that as well, just don’t be lured in by any of the other pictures. If I end up soliciting your vote for someone else, I will find you and it will not be pretty.

Anyway, thanks for your vote(s) and the vote(s) of everyone you know! Vote now because we both know that if you don’t do it now, you’ll forget.

Thanks!! Let me know if you vote FOR HIM by commenting on this post and I'll enter you into a special drawing for BLOG candy!! AND, if you vote more than once or EVERY DAY (hehe!!) or on other computers (!!!) comment each time on this post and I'll put your name in the drawing for every vote you send my brother's way!! Now, be sure to vote for "U6" or it doesn't count!! I'll announce the winner at the end of the contest which is August 9th. I'll post a blog candy post soon but I know it will include a stamp set, some ribbon and other misc!!

Sydney Envelope Book Class

If you live in the Hutchinson/McPherson area, you won't want to miss the Sydney Envelope Book class on August 24th at 6:30 PM! Here are the details:

• Cost of the class is $20 and that includes the Sydney Circle Album book kit, ribbon & supplies to make one album (you will take the left-over pieces home with you)


• You can choose to add matching paper & hardware to the class cost to give you more decorating options!


• This class combines both rubber stamping & scrapbooking and will introduce you to the Bind-it-all machine!


• If you need a gift for a grandparent, friend or relative this is a great gift idea and a perfect keepsake album with minimal work!


• Full Payment is required 2 weeks prior to class (Monday, August 10)


• Class Fee is non-refundable after August 17th. If you cancel, you will receive all the items you paid for (including everything to make the kits with the exception of the stamp sets we will use that night)

When you are finished with this book, you will probably have enough pieces left to make another book at home if you wanted to. You'll also most likely have left-over pieces after decorating your book that you can use on other projects, including extra ribbon.

If you would like to add products that match this kit and not have to think about what matches and what doesn't, you have the option of adding extra supplies on to your basic class fee. This includes the matching Penelope Paper Pack ($6.95), Matching Pewter Hardware ($4.50) and Matching Copper Hardware ($4.50). These are all additional options and are not required.

The pictures you see on this post are samples of some of the pages from the book I made.




Don't forget that the deadline to register is August 10th and payment is required at that time!

Have a great day!
