Stampin' With Jilli

A Charm for Laurie

Ya know how you have those wonderful people in your life... they are just always there???  To put my finger on why Laurie is so special, well, I don't know... but she IS!  I just like it when she's around.

I made this charm/box for her.  Funny thing is - Laurie stated the minute we met "I don't like flowers".  I hear plenty of comments, likes and dislikes while stampers make projects, I just brushed it off...  After a few months, somehow I remembered that comment.  I even tried to design a few months projects without flowers.  That is hard!  I'm a girl and I like flowers.  I think we've both come around to each others way of thinking... I try not to make all projects with flowers AND Laurie can tolerate flowers now. 

Why am I telling you our flower story...  guess what is smack dab on the top of her decorated charm box?  You've got it - a huge honkin blinged out flower (wow, spell check loves my grammar here)... 

I hope Laurie will like it!

Happy Stampin!

September Projects

VSP Stampers - Jenn - Thursday, September 9th @ 5p

Folsom Stampers - Cheri - Friday, Sept 17th @ 6p

Four Season Stampers - Tuesday, Sept 21st @ 6p

Okay..I say this all the time... I LOVE this month's projects... especially the stencil neutral card...

Itty Bitty Bits - a mini card

Is this the cutest mini 3x3 card?  SU introduced new clear buttons, a coordinating stamp set AND mini clear buttons...  This project is quick and fun.  I could imagine a set of 3 or 6 as a cute little gift wrapped in ribbon.

Stencils - Hey, who knew SU carries stencils?  After making a few cards, I've decided creating a border at home might be possible...  They turn out SO pretty...  The stencils are in the Decore Elements catalog (and a new one in the mini ... effective 9/1). 

 

Wha hoo... these are my favorites!
 

Okay, so the card looks nice from the front... wait till you see inside!  This is my new favorite stamp set Just Believe...  I hope you won't get tired of it... I'll be using it LOTS. 
 

Don't 'cha just love the texture here???

 

The charms...  Each month I design a front/back of a 1x1.25 charm inlay.  You are welcome to start making them... even if you don't have your charm yet.  If you don't think you'll wear it, I guarantee you that you niece or sister will love it.  The chunky chain and charm are all the rage now. 
 

I look forward to seeing you!

Happy Stampin!
