Jen's Special Project!!!

Hello Stampers!  I have been telling you for a week now to stay tuned for a very "Special Project" from my friend Jen Martin.  Jen was asked to create a special after dinner project for Debbie's Demo Event.  She sure did create something special!!!  Jen did such a AMAZING job creating this album.  Thank you so much Jen :-)  Here are some pictures of the Happy Christmas Mini Scrapbook Album.

This is the front cover, isn't it beautiful?  Click on the photo to enlarge it.  We used the Simply Scrappin Kit from the holiday catalog called "Merry Moments".  Our Simply Scrappin kits are wonderful.  I just love how she embellished the cover using some of my favorite accessories.  She used the new snowflake die called "Snow Flurry".  I love this new snowflake die!  We also used the new "Cherry Cobbler Scalloped Tulle Ribbon", which has become my favorite right now.  You can do so much with this ribbon.  Did you notice those large pearls?  The perfect accessory for the center of the "Vintage Faceted Buttons"  which have also become a favorite of mine.  Are you ready to see some more pictures of this album?

Here you start to open the album by lifting up the front cover.

Next flip down the bottom bottom page.

Next flip the left page out.

Next flip the right page out.

Next unfold the left hand page.

Lastly, unfold the right hand page.

So what do you think?  One of my friends Julie Arvin who also attended the event suggested putting photos from the event in the album.  What a great idea Julie!  So I will be sure to show you again once I have it completed with pictures.

So now, who is ready to meet my AWESOME friend Jen Martin???  Here are 2 pictures of us taken at Convention this past July.  

Isn't she the cutest!  She is such a riot!!!

Here is a picture of us at the Demo Event with our friend Julie Arvin!  Julie is my computer whiz!

That is all I have for you today my stamping friends.  I hope you enjoyed seeing this special project, I loved making it.  BIG Thank you to Jen Martin!!!

Thank you for stopping by today.  Until then stamping friends...

Happy Stamping!

That is it for the swaps.  Don't you think they were great?  I can not begin to tell you how much fun I had at this event.  Oh, and did I mention the food???  Debbie is a fabulous cook!!!  For lunch she made us these wonderful baked potatoes with any kind of topping you could want on it.  I would drive to her house which is almost 2 hours away just for these potatoes!  She makes them for us every year.  Yummy!  She also had salad with 2 different homemade salad dressings.  For dinner Debbie made us pasta and 2 different sauces.  One was a homemade marinara sauce and one was a scampi sauce.  Yes they were Yummy!  She also made us chicken breast to add to the sauce of our choice.  We also had salad for dinner.  For our dessert we had cream cheese squares which I made and wonderful chocolate bars that Debbie Shelley made.  She is sending me a recipe for them and I will share that recipe on here once I get it.  You will die once you taste them, trust me!

 

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you have enjoyed seeing all the swaps.  Stay tuned for my next post, your not going to want to miss it!  Until then stamping friends...
