Coaster Class * Great Christmas Gifts*

This class has proven to be my most popular class thus far!

For only $10 you take home with you a set of 4 stone tile coasters with your favorite photos on them. Many of my customers have made more than one set, in fact one of my customers has made 5 sets and is planning on making 3 more sets on Dec. 3rd (which is my next scheduled class)

With only a few more spots available for my December 3rd class and so much interest, I am now offering classes for you (and 4 or 5 of your friends) at your own home! I will come to your home with all the materials to make as many coaster sets as you and your friends would like.

These stone photo coasters are a great Christmas gifts and something that can be used everyday! If you have any questions shoot me an email to melodysteiner@yahoo.com

* I am also available to teach a Holiday Gift Class in which everyone would make 3 or 4 gifts they can give out this year. Please contact me for details.

I'm joining up with Stampin Up at the end of the month!!

Hey everyone I wanted to let you know I'll be joining back up with Stampin up at the end of August and I already have big plans for this September!

Hope to see you there!

Make your own Ink Pads for kids using Re-Inkers!

My kids love watching me use rubber stamps when I scrapbook, and over the years I have bought them some rubber stamps of their own. Hobby stores like Michaels & Hobby Lobby have sets of foam stamps for $1.00 with lots of kid designs to choose from.

The problem I run into, is letting them use my ink pads. With my kids being 5 & 4 years old, I don't quite trust them with my $6.00 ink pads. And of course each child wants their own ink pads. And although you can find $1.00 ink pads at some stores, I don't recommend purchasing them. $1.00 Ink Pads usually don't have much ink on them & dry up before you have the chance to use them more than once.

What I recommend is making your own ink pads. This can easily be done with the following:

• A baby wipe
• A small foam plate
• re-inkers

All you need to do is squeeze around 8 drops of each color onto the baby wipe & voila!

I purchase my Re-Inkers through Stampin Up. They run $2.95 per bottle, and can also be used to dye ribbon, re-ink your Stampin Up ink pads and much more. With 58 colors to choose from the possibilities are endless.

Depending on what your using your re-inkers for, they can last a very long time!

Eyelet Lover Layout

Here is a layout I created today for Author Jane Porter. The subject is her niece Krystyna and was taken on their trip to Europe.

• I choose paper based on the colors in the pictures. I love the pink, Dark gray & light gray combo!


• I used The Cricut to create the K, and tied Stampin Up Organza ribbon around the top of it for added embellishment.
  
• I think the eyelets create a nice accent to the page without overkill.

Here is a Squidoo page I created about choosing the Best Eyelet Setter http://www.squidoo.com/Best-Eyelet-Setter

And here is the layout idea I scraplifted for this page:

Thanks for looking!
