Artisan Award Entries

Just wanted to share some of my Artisan Award Projects
Several were on Display at Convention.

This was the hardest to complete I made the box myself from scratch.

Box open  Designed to be a box within a box.  Called and Etui box.

Box lid with embellishments.

Braided ribbon on top of box.

My favorite piece I named this one Ring around the Rosie!

Close up of stamping.

Love this garden card.

Loved this one with Fabric from SU

This card was a challenge but I made it work and even managed to use my crimper.

Card open with belly band.

Just my style,  Cutesy fun.

The little PEEP

Closer shot. The words are done with parts of the pictures I cropped out.

This is my grandson during one of our visits to the butterfly Museum in Gainesville FL

This was one of my favorites, Loved this stamp set.

Hope you enjoyed viewing my Artisan projects.  I am already starting on next years.

Finalist List from Convention 2011

Hello everyone just wanted to post the Finalist List here from the Artisan Award Contest.
If you are on the list you were chosen for the top 42 in the contest!

Congratulations to all who were on the list.  I personally know how much work is involved as I entered as well and was chosen to be on the list!  Yeah!  Only wish that SU would let us all get together and pick each other's brains and see each others entries.  It would be nice to get a certificate of some sort or to be able to walk across the stage.  We were only asked to stand briefly and some of us were on Camera and some of us were not.
I will be posting some of my work soon even though I didn't win.  I am going to commit to try againg next year as this is my second time being on the announced finalist list!

Not in any particular order

Weight Loss the Advocare WAY 24 day Challenge

after     

24 day Challenge with Advocare    before and after pics     

In 24 days I lost 13 pounds and almost 20 " all over

more than  5 inches in waist alone.

This is quite an accomplishment for me since I have struggled with the same 20 pounds for over 3 years.  I would loose 20 and gain 10 back.  Glad to say I found something that works and I am feeling so much better.  

If I can help you check out my website

http://advocare.com/11057671

The plan is a bit expensive but if broken down into the price per day it is about the price you would pay for a meal out.  At least if you tote your lunch you can monitor what you eat  

First 10 days is an uneventful and gentle cleanse

Days 11 -24  good nutritional clean eating with food you prepare yourself all fresh fruits and veggies and lean protein like Chicken, Fish, boiled eggs.

A Special Card for a special Cause

We are releasing a special stamp set for sale and for each Stamp set we sell we will donate $2 to Breast Cancer for Research,  The set is called Strength and Hope and will be available after May 1st.   If you would like to purchase this set go to my Website
http://dpippin.stampinup.net

I love the very vanilla cardstock.  It is so smooth to stamp with. I also used one of our new punches.  The pretty  postage punch.  You can purchase it the first of May.

Spring time Cards

Okay I had a dream about Paris in Springtime and just had to make these cards.  I had a work shop last week and presented my hostess with one of these cute folders with the note cards I had designed.  I hope you enjoy looking at them.  The note cards are great for making small cards and come 20 cards and envelopes for only $5.95  Stop and shop my website http://dpippin.stampinup.net

here is the folder cover..

So pretty with the Easter Blossoms stamp set and I also used Chic Boutique and Artistic etchings.

 This is the folder opened with all the notecards and envelopes

here are the cards with the envelopes

They are easy to make with Glossy Paper and our Markers write beautifully on the glossy paper.  I also used our sponges to add color to the foreground and backgrounds

 I like making the envelopes to match each card.

Thank you cards are always something I can use.

If you haven't heard from someone in a while a little note card to tell them they are thought of is a big pick me up for the receiver.

 If you want to learn how to do this technique or others join my classes at the Citrus Springs Community center on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month.  We start at 11 am and finish by 1 pm.  I try to keep cost low because of the economy. You get to do 3 cards for $10.  I cut out all the materials and they are ready to stamp and assemble. Our class is called Cards and Chatter.  The ladies love to chat and create.  Men are invited too!  Just call me or shoot me an email to let me know you are coming; that way I have enough supplies to go around.

Call me if you want to set up a workshop with a few of your friends and create something special.

Happy Easter

Love this image from our Occasions Mini this is just one of many cards I have made with it.  The Easter eggs are embossed with the Vintage Wallpaper folder by Sizzix and sold exclusively by Stampin' UP!  If you want one be sure to stop by my website at http://dpippin.stampinup.net to order 24hours / 7 days a week.

This card with the cross is made with our corner scallop and border punches.

Then I did the inlaid embossing with another of our folders.  The lattice Square embossing folder is one of my very favorites.

Spring Time brings many things but the thing I am most Thankful for is that Jesus died for my sins and has forgiven all of us.  I rejoice in the fact that he is alive in me and we celebrate Easter because he had died for all our sins and buried and has indeed Risen!  I wish all of you a very happy and joyful Easter.

Join my Lucky Ladies Team in April

If you love to create and like to share with others you can make extra money for your family doing what I do and selling Stampin' UP! products.

 I am on the look out for some ladies or gentlemen that want to join my Lucky Ladies (and Gents if we  had any) Team.  Starter kit contains more than $300 worth of product and sales materials.  And because I attended a Regional right here in Florida if you join by April 12th you will earn a FREE stamp set from the Summer Mini.  I will also reward you personally with a free stamp set (value up to $35) for joining my team; but only in APRIL.  I cannot discount the starter kit as Stampin' UP! already does that and you can buy your own for $175.00  Even if you only want to use it as a hobbyist and don't want to have workshops or classes this is a super deal and well worth the money paid.

 In addition to the kit you also get a monthly publication that has tons of ideas and inspiration from other demonstrators but you have access to thousands of templates and scrap mats and unlimited access to our website that offers Training and lots of samples and ideas.    You have chances to partiscipate in challenges and contests and sales and trip incentives.  You will be able to attend Stampin' UP! events like Regionals and Conventions and Seminars.  You also get advanced info on promotions and pre- orders and the best thing of all A 20 % discount on every thing you purchase or your customers purchase!  In your first 6 months if you get others to join you can earn a free stamp set for each person joining.  Also I have monthly downline and opportunity meetings at my house.  Call me if you would like to try it out.
