Northern Virginia Stampin' Up! Style Regional Gathering - March 8, 2014 - Presenters Announced
I'm stopping in to catch you up on some posts I put on my business Facebook page but haven't yet posted on my blog. If you haven't heard yet, I'm hosting a Northern Virginia Stampin' Up! Style Regional Gathering on March 8th. I want to make this a fantastic event for all the attendees so I've put my head down and have been working pretty much non-stop on this event, and I'm so excited about how it's coming along.

Northern Virginia Stampin' Up! Style Regional Gathering 3/8/14 - Jennifer Timko announced as a presenter - Make sure to Register Today!
I'm so happy today to be able to announce (I would say introduce, but she needs NO introduction) one of our amazing presenters at the Northern Virginia Stampin' Up! Style Regional Gathering on March 8th, 2014. You can STILL REGISTER until March 1st so don't delay. Read on for event information and click here for the event registration form.
It is with great pleasure and excitement that I get to announce JENNIFER TIMKO is going to be one of the presenters for our wonderful Regional Gathering.
Current Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team Member Jennifer Timko has been a demonstrator since October 2006 and she has loved every minute of it. She grew up in Orlando and moved all over while she was in the Air Force, until she settled in Warrenton, VA in 2001. While Jennifer has always loved Stampin' Up! Ribbons she has recently been falling in love with our punches and our Big Shot dies because they add so much WOW for such little effort. Jennifer is mostly a card maker. She does love MDS and the mechanics of 3d items but cards are her happy place. Her style is generally clean stamping. Not always simple, but she loves the clean lines and crisp layers. She also tries to add something special to each card to make it feel unique to the intended recipient. Being on the Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team this year has been a highlight of her Stampin' Up! career and she feels its an amazing experience to be able to share what she loves making, with so many people. Lets give a warm welcome to Jennifer Timko.

Stampin' Up! Scrapbook Layout in honor of the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia
Do you know what today is?? Today we get to watch the opening ceremonies of the 2014 Olympics and I can't wait. Well, I can wait, because I HAVE to, but I'm pretty excited about the Olympics. So, today I'm spending time in my studio, putting the finishing touches on a 2 page scrapbook spread that I created about two weeks ago for the Scrapbook Class that I teach to 7th and 8th graders at my local middle school. I love sharing what I love, and I love the tools and supplies from Stampin' Up! so its very easy to share with these great kids.
Isn't it cute? Now my girls aren't Olympians, but I plan to put photos of them playing in the snow over the past few weeks. You can also use this layout for photos from swim meets, karate belt testing, sledding, ski trips, basketball, Girls on the Run, school chess club, or really anything that you want to put in there to remember what you were up to while the 2014 Olympics were going on. I plan on using the long narrow strip on the left of the USA page for some journaling about what's going on in the photos and of course I'll put the date on that. I always write in my own handwriting on my scrapbook pages. Is not that I think I have the best handwriting, far from it, but I still have some birthday card from my Grandma who passed away 11 years ago last week, and I really treasure reading thing in her handwriting. It's a wonderful and tangible momento of her. Miss you and Love you Grandma!
Here is a close up of the USA page. The Olympic Rings were made with two circle punches. When you do it, make sure to punch the small circle first and then punch the larger circle around the smaller one to make sure its centered.
Scrapbook Layout using Stampin' Up! paper and punches #USA page features Olympic Rings made with circle punches #Olympics #Olympics2014 #Sochi2014 #USA #NBCOlympics |
And here is one of the Sochi page. The Olympic torch was made with the word window punch, the mosaic punch with a bite taken out of it with an oval punch and the Bird Builder punch (the tail of the bird, just trim the bird head off) for the flames. The letters for both pages were from a retired alphabet set called Timeless Type Alphabet Junior Sizzlets and were cut out on my Big Shot.
Have a fabulous day my Stamping Friends,

Right now I'm up and they are still sleeping so I'm snatching a few minutes to post the registration information for the NoVa Stampin' Up! Style Regional Gathering.
Here are a few details about the event. If you want ALL the information, visit this post.
