Hi all~

Mother's Day is fast approaching- we have had one really great Mother's Day Scrapbook class last week and another this Friday! Thanks to all that signed up!

For those that didn't- here's the pics!! We did 10 pages- front and back. We used the natural linen albums- 6x6 size- Stampin' Up! We used the Simply Scrappin Kit (copyright Stampin'UP!) called 2 Sweet...great colors!!

I meant to take pics of the group working on the scrapbooks- but my camera was out of batteries- i robbed those batteries to put in my Swiffer Wet Jet (clean floors or pictures?? hmmm...) and my husband bought new batteries- but before they made it to the camera- someone (DAVID!) put them in the Wii controllers! So batteries are on the shopping list this week and hopefully i can get some pics from my stamp club this week and my scrapbook class!!

News from Stampin' Up!: you can join to be a demo with a special scrapbooking starter kit right now for 75.00!! If you are interested in joining- please see my demo website:

A Top Note Baby Carriage

I was trying to think of something different for a baby swap i am in and i was looking at the top note die as a possibility. I didn't really want to use the top note as a background because i feel like i tend to do that...A LOT!

(I love that thing!!)

So..i was sitting here at midnight the other night and started cutting it up and this is what i came up with!!

The carriage body is the top note cut- I cut the dsp and scalloped the edges..The wheels are the 1 3/8 in. circle punch (all materials used are Stampin' Up!)

I wish i had the Pretties Kit- i think pearls would have been REALLY cute in the wheels rather than the eyelets...

The hood to the carriage is the corner of the top note trimmed with the SAB dsp and attached with a silver brad- i left the hood free so it does move up and down.

The handle to the carriage is made from the curly label punch- i re-punched it to make it look like a graceful handle....i tried a few options for the handle- but liked this on the best!!

Thanks for looking and as usual comments ALWAYS appreciated!! :)

~Happy Stamping!
