Sorry For My Extended Absence!

I'm sorry for my extended absence.  After the huge earthquake here in Japan, everything had been crazy!  Life is more stressful and full of uncertainty.

My family and I are safe right now and are still staying here at Yokota Air Base in Tokyo.  I will try my best to update as soon as I can.

My Second Project for UStamp: Oh My Word 2011

Yesterday, my 2nd project for Ustamp: Oh My Word 2011 has been posted!  It was the last and final project for the event.  I'm actually very happy with the way this turned out!  I love butterflies so this project was right up my alley.  So, here it is my "Fly Butterfly" frames project...

 

 

 

 

Sorry if the pictures are not that great.  I had to take the pictures at night and lighting is not that great in my house.  If you like the step-by-step instructions for these, you may register for UStamp: Oh My Word 2011 event by clicking here.  

Hope you are all having a great weekend and see you again next week!

Stampin' Up Apron Card Holder

Wow, I can't believe it's March already!  February went by sooooo fast with the crazy busy schedules I had.  March looks like it will be just as busy but I'm happy to welcome the sense of being productive.  I guess it's better to be busy and enjoying yourself than being bored!

Today, I would like to share with you a project that I did with my downlines at our very first Downline Meeting last week.  I wanted to come up with something cute for them and came across Diana Ball's blog where she had made this project in a different color.  I fell in love with it and wanted to do the same project for my downline members. It was very easy to do and can also be used in lots of other fun things.  You can put recipes on the holder, also put cookie recipes for a cookie exchange, etc...etc..

 

 

  

Here is the back side of the Apron Card Holder.

I printed out the Stampin' Up! Logo on a Whisper White Cardstock for the Apron and it really looks just like our apron (without the pockets of course).

Hope you enjoy this project today and have a Happy March!
