Tuesday's with Morley - Cards

We'll be doing some great cards this month!

This first card is one that Mary Alice made for me. I've changed the color scheme just a tad from the original. She found this card on Split Coast Stampers so thanks to the original designer! Just a note - if you've designed a card a scrapbook layout and would like to share with the club, let me know!

Tuesday's with Morley - September Scrapbook

It's time to start a new club year - Woo Hoo! The new catalog is awesome and we'll be doing lot's of fun projects this year.

Here is the layout for this month's scrapbook.

It features a couple of new items from the catalog. The Cottage Wall DS paper is just lovely.

We'll also be using a stamp set that is from the Holiday Mini Catalog - Sweet Centers. It's very versatile and fun!

Photo Tin Stamp Camp

Photo Tin Stamp Camp

Tuesday, August 18

6:00 pm

Kathleen's House

Deadline to Sign-up: August 15

The Tuesday's with Morley club will not be meeting in August. However, I wanted to keep everyone's creative juices flowing so I will be hosting a Stamp Camp on the 18th. Our project will be these fabulous photo tins.




I received one of these as a door prize at stamp camp at Lindsey's a couple of years ago. Since then, I've made several as gifts and they have been a HUGE hit! They are great little "brag books" and can be easily transported in a purse or displayed proudly in your home.




You will need 8 pictures with dimensions of 2" x 3". I have found that printing the picture as a wallet size is the best way to go. I usually get mine printed at Wal-Mart and two wallets are printed for each one ordered. So, you can make one for yourself and second as a gift! Keep in mind that Christmas is fast approaching and these make great stocking stuffers.





The cover of the tin is your chance to express your creativity! I will have my example, but you can substitute any stamp set to suit the occasion.





The tins, paper, and accessories are available for $5 each. Contact me for choices of colors (I recommend two to four). Also, I need to know the number you would like by Saturday, August 15.

Finally, if you place a Stampin' Up! order with me on or before the 18th, you will receive free shipping !!!

Tuesday's with Morley - July Cards

I decided to continue the Circle Theme started with the scrapbook layout!

The first card also features the Circle Circus stamp set. I think we've already used the "Enjoy Every Moment" stamp set in a previous month, so I'll have an alternative available at our meeting if you don't want to use it again

Cardstock - Green Galore, Melon Mambo, Whisper White
Inks - Green Galore, Melon Mambo
Accessories - Eyelet Border Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals



The second card uses the large scallop circle die as the base. I think it turned out cute and it's totally different than anything we've done before.

This month's scrapbook layout features a circus of circles!!



The new Circle Circus stamp set is featured. I'm also using one of the new In Colors - Soft Suede. I love this new one!





Getting the curvature of the pictures was difficult for me. I think I've got a pattern sketched out that will make it easy to follow.

What was I Thinking ?!

I have not posted on the blog for over a month and here's the reason why! My brother is getting married next week and for some reason I agreed to make the party favors for the rehearsal dinner.



In our family, the rehearsal dinner is more than just the bridal party. We invite all relatives and out of town guests. So we're expecting close to 100 people. For the party favors, I made 50 sets of coasters. Needless to say, my shoulder is killing me!





Special thanks to Leah Fish for the inspiration behind these gifts. She taught a class on these coasters at Retreat a couple of years ago.

Tuesday's with Morley - June Cards

For the first card, I used a cool texture die that was given to me by my Secret Sister at the last retreat (thanks, Linz!) I think for the cards for the club, I'm going to get some bigger brads. I really don't like the size of the ones in the picture.

For the second card, I'm FINALLY using the Define Your Life stamp set. It's a cool set that has definitions of words from all the letters of the alphabet. You'll be able to choose the word/definition that suits your needs!
