Woo Hoo!! So excited!!

Poor blog, it's been over a week! Let's catch up here...

Sometimes life just happens to the best of us! It's been a whirl wind crazy past few weeks and I'm not ready to share ALL the details yet but here's a few.


Work - My other PASSION - Real Estate has magically picked up and when that happens I consume myself with it because who knows how long the tide will stay in! There is nothing better than making dreams come true for people, when they walk in the front door and you see them "move in" it's a feeling that you never want to let go of.


It's ALL GOOD!!


So, I've been invited to teach online classes for one of my most favorite people/places on the net, my mind is soooo very excited and honored and and and.... I just have to finish the paperwork. I'm just gushing inside with GLEE!! If I could sing... I would...a happy little tune.♫♪♫♪♫


Then.... One of the local scrapbook stores - Sharin Memories - asked me if I'd be interested in also teaching at their store...if I'd be interested...OF COURSE! Again, honored, amazed and SO VERY THANKFUL! 


So, Teaching...WHO KNEW??? Online, and locally here at The Scrappy Stamper and Sharin Memories!


I have one more exciting little announcement, but that deserves it's own little post. I'll tease you for a moment, it has nothing to do with Real Estate or Scrapbooking and YET... It DOES. How wild is that????


I can't have a post with out some eye candy so.... OK, so if you didn't notice I've been playing around with STAMPS & this week featured on Teresa Collins' Blog - Here's a few of the projects, you can see more pictures and tips and tricks on her blog.


Using the Celebrate Stamp set:

Using the Blingage Alphabet & Giving Thanks Stamp sets: psst... be sure to check out her blog to see how I made those pumpkins! :)

Have a great night! ~Cheri

In case you missed it *TC - Celebrate* Happy Birthday Banner

The Happy Birthday Banner was on Teresa's blog Wednesday and in case you missed it, here it is again.  If you have not seen the Celebrate line just you wait, it's a m a z i n g!!! Just at a glance I was smitten with the blues, reds and oranges. 

I was straightening up my paper mess and as I was organizing I discovered, this line has a few different looks to it, like I said the fun blues, reds and oranges. Then I noticed the creams and whites... My mind was flying, what could I do to show you JUST HOW VERSATILE this line is. Ahhhh, the excitement. I stared and stared and the next morning woke up with this great idea and I was in my scrap room before the coffee was done! (That says A LOT!)

Here's what I came up with:

Once I figured out the shape I wanted it to be I cut all my pieces, distressed all the edges and started layering:
My first layer was the back of the Blue Birthday Party paper

Then I layered it with the Happy Birthday Transparency

I then cut a circle and a strip from the back of the pendants paper. I used a scallop punch for the bottom strip and adhered it to the lined paper (the first layer).

I cut strips out of the Definitions paper, I did do this creatively to make sure I had the words I wanted at the the top of the strips. Then I pleated the paper to make a "Lolly" gluing them to a piece of chipboard so they wouldn't pop up.





















Then added the individual Banner letters to each piece.





















I then put doilies on the tops and bottoms to give it the lacy look and connected them with large brads.

And there you have it. I love it! I hope it inspires you to see things for more that what they seam to be at first glance too. Have a great weekend! ~C
