This blog post is coming to you from the Hampton Inn and Suites in Wells, Maine at the Scrappin and Stampin Getaway!
23 women are gathered to enjoy great accomodations, yummy food, and of course scrapping and stamping all weekend long!
Some are Facebook Fans - sooo cool to meet them in person! Others are friends of friends...I'm not scrappin as much as I am working on gifts for upcoming craft fairs, like the one at Saco Middle School next Saturday!
I love one of the classes I am doing this weekend, it's a bag, tag and card class - look for it to be coming up soon at the Stampin Studio in Saco!
Today I'm off with 22 other women for a weekend of Scrappin and Stampin in Wells, Maine! This is the third Getaway I've held, and each time it's different! The first two times were in Saco, and I moved a little further south to Wells, which is closer to Massachusetts and New Hampshire. The next one is scheduled for January, more information will be coming over the weekend as to dates and prices.
Here is a sample page for you - one I'm going to replicate at the Kids Stamp Camp this Wednesday! There is room for two more stamp campers! Call 590-8631 to register your child!
Veterans Day is next Wednesday, there is no school for kids, but there is STAMPING SCHOOL!!!
The Stamping Good Time Kids Camp is Wednseday from 11-2, and includes fun stamping and scrapbooking activies plus a pizza lunch, and NOT the kind from the school cafeteria, lol!
Cost is $20 per child, siblings only $7 more!
You can register by clicking on the Class Calendar at the right!
FMI call Tara at 590-8631, but do so soon as space is limited :)
Everyone needs a calendar, right? How about this one?
That's all 12 months laid out on my working table...stay tuned to see what it looks like all packaged, ready for giving! This time I used stamps for all 12 months, you could use left over scrapbooking materials like designer paper, die cuts, stickers...the possiblities for personalization are endless!
You can get this two ways - document and directions for $6 via email; or $12 including shipping which is a completed project - frame, baggie, ribbon and tag!
Today starts a new feature on the StampWithTara blog - Two for Tuesday! I will take a project either I have already featured or something I found and do it over differently, to show you different ways to use the same layout, idea, etc.
I asked for suggestions from my readers and this is what I got!
These treat boxes are for the ladies attending the Scrappin and Stampin Getaway this weekend in Wells, Maine! The next weekend is slated for the end of January, information will come out by the end of the weekend to register, this filled up early, so check back Saturday for more info!
Paper: Autumn Traditions Designer Series Paper, Whisper White, Elegant Eggplant, Soft Suede, More Mustard and Ruby Red Cardstock
Accessories: Wide Oval Punch, Scallop Oval Punch, Sizzix Big Shot, Box #2 Die
Last week the Hospitality Committee at my school decided we needed to do something for our colleagues at the other elementary school in the district. They had a student pass away, she was something of a celebrity so there was some media attention, and it is just so hard when a child dies anyway...We made up survival kits, just to brighten their day. Inside were Kisses and Hugs and Lifesavers, a crayon and some paper clips (to hold it all together, kind of thing).
We used Circle Circus to decorate the poem and the toppers, cut with the Top Note die and decorated with the scallop circle punch and ribbon- I LOVE this set because it is sooo versitile! The cardstock came from my scrap pile (except the Whisper White, which I used to print the poem on), and I found it so rewarding to say to my co-workers "I know what we can do" and it didn't have to cost a lot of money, it was a group effort putting them together so there was community building on our part as well....so great!
I waited to post about this til this week because of the media attention, I wanted to be able to s hare the idea with my blog readers so when you have an occasion to try to lift someone's spirits you have this resource, but didn't want to capitalize on the grief experienced by so many in the district. Know what I mean?
Anyway, the poem is one you can find online, if you want it email me at stampwithtara@yahoo.com.
I am so excited when I get an extra hour of sleep, especially when next weekend is the Saco (in Wells)Scrappin and Stampin Getaway!
If all goes well, this is a new hotel for me, there will be another one on the weekend of January 30th!!!

This is a program for new demonstrators with Stampin' Up to help them get their business off to a solid start. I am so excited for her, and look forward to working with her towards her other goals, too!

Actually, it is much better to not start something like a business without significant thought and processing.
~as much as I love it, and I DO! it is embarassing to me...McKenna is 2 years old in this pic, and today she's 4!
