Altered Creations (a bit late)

Happy Friday everyone!  Hope you had a good week.  I had promised to show you our first Demo challenge that my friend, Jayne, initiated.  She challenged our Pieces of HeART team to alter the notebooks she provided.  The pressure!  And who knew it would turn into a monthly thing!  The anticipation to see everyone's creations makes our meetings even more exciting.  Participation is optional, of course.  Jayne handed out the notebooks when we met at her house to carpool to the Branson Regional in March.  We were to bring our altered creations to the April Demo dinner meeting.  

Look what we came up with.

 Jayne's notebook - made from Love Letters DSP, the Fun Flowers die, the Dotted Scallop  Ribbon border punch, Scallop border punch, and the Round Tab punch

Pam's notebook -  made from layered strips of various border punches.  A trinket key dangles from the vintage flower she made from circle punches.

Another version of Pam's.  It was difficult to capture the IRL beauty.

Patty's notebook - she added dimension by using our Backgrounds 1 Texturz plates, the flower image is from the Because I Care stamp set. Pearls were the finishing touch.  Sorry for the blurry photo

My notebook - made from Greenhouse Gala DSP, Bold Blossom, Apple Blossoms, & Nature Walk stamp sets, Dotted Scallop Ribbon punch

Apple Blossoms

Hi there! Gosh we've been experiencing such great weather the past couple of days - like in the 70's.  I was so worried we'd have snow for our trip to Branson.  The Pieces of Heart Stampers will be hitting the road early in the morning. Woo hoo!  I still have some packing to do so I'll quickly show you a card made with the Apple Blossoms set, which is a Level-2 Hostess set.  The great thing about being a Demonstrator (besides going to Branson AND meeting wonderful people like you) is not only do you get to pre-order items from the new catalogs, but you can order selected Hostess sets.  If you'd like an opportunity like that, contact me HERE to sign up.  Sale-a-bration is a GREAT time to become a Demonstrator because the Starter Kit is 15% off regular price plus you get a bonus bundle (worth $50) absolutely FREE.  (Who doesn't love FREE, huh?)  You earn so many free things and get discounts on the products you order!!  If this doesn't fit into your life right now, invite some friends and/or family to a workshop for some stamping fun. (No experience necessary)  You can earn this Hostess set and more depending on your sales. Contact me. We can discuss either option over a cup of coffee!  SU! is such a great company.  They really care for their Demonstrators and employees. 
OK I need to scoot so here is the card for today:

Recipe
Stamps: Apple Blossoms
