Big Shot quilted bag

Today there was no school and the weather was just blah.. We stayed in all day. The kids played the Wii ( and hubby too) while I sewed. This is something I have not done in a long time.
I got out my Big Shot and my new scallop square die cut from Stampin Up. I decided to try to make a quilted rag bag that I have heard so much about. This was my first attempt to make one of these. I actually had fun making this one. I love the colors that I picked out. Now I am fighting my daughter for this bag. She has tried to take it several times today. I guess I will just have to make her one.
Now that I have the first one done, all the others will be easy to do. Using the Big Shot and the die cut saved so much time. I love my Big Shot. The projects that you can do with it are endless. I can see other bags in my future.
Thanks for looking today. I will post again later on this week of Ally's Birthday. She turns 10 this week. I can not believe that. Double digits. WOW....

Valentine Card for Club

Here is one of the Valentine Cards that we will be doing for our first club of 2010. This card says it all with out all the frilly embellishments. This would be great for the guy in your life. And man o man it was hard to do a card without all the hearts and pink colors.
This card uses my first stamp set that I bought as a demo and it is still current. It is the Loads of Love # 115022 for 23.95 and the Loads of Love Accessories # 115024 for 20.95. I used Bordering Blue, Ruby Red, and Very Vanilla card stock. I colored the images in with the Stampin' Write Markers.
We are meeting on January 16 at 10:00 at my house for club. We meet once a month and depending on the number of participants for each club determines the monthly spending requirement. If you are interested in getting together a group of friends to stamp each month and to take turns earning great stamping goodies, give me a call. For example... 6 club members is only 25.00 (before taxes and s/h) a monthly requirement for 6 months. This reaches the 150.00 minimum for free goodies.. and who doesn't like free goodies. Each stamper takes a month to get the goodies.
Happy Stamping.
