• Tonight my class was in charge of the Joint Young Women/Young Men activity.  We thought it would be a lot of fun to get in some water games before it was too late for the year.

    The adult male leaders loved the water balloon launchers and even shared them with the youth!  It's also really good that they aren't good at aiming or I hear I would have gone home soaked – again!

    We also had fun playing water balloon volleyball:

    Aren’t the classy, muted black, gray, cream & white beautiful!?  They are beautiful alone or combined with a POP of color!  The designer of this line really out did herself!

    I designed the “Enchanted Evening” stickers, “Two Hearts Beat as One” layout and the wedding ensemble that is featured on the back cover of the catalog (all shown below).

    I had fun with this line.  When I designed the stickers, I thought Enchanted Evening could be used for anything from prom & weddings (of course) to a romantic date with your hubby, a night at Disneyland or watching fireworks with your children!

    The trendy couple shown is a stock photo, so I got to have a lot of fun and name them.  Did you notice “who” the happy couple is?

  • Shyloh was on Good Things Utah today demonstrating a super cute Halloween Clock.  She did a fabulous job!

    SPOOKtacular sneak peek At the end of her segment they showed this Halloween layout (the photo is blurry because the camera was panning).  Do you know what it was?  Part of the November Autoship

    I think I’ll let you in on a secret.  Since the November Autoship ships the day after Halloween, I thought that would be perfect timing for you to receive a Halloween layout!  I’m also designing a fall/ThanksgivingAmber layout to go with it!  You’re going to LOVE them!

  • Today was our annual check up on Neal's hearing.  It's digressed just a "tiny" little bit (it's nerve damage he was born with and it will never get better), but it's not something that will or should affect him too Ambermuch.  It's nice to know that we're still status quo!

  • Tonight I had a bad migraine and missed Young Women.  I was so sad that I had to miss it!  Since I don't have new pictures from tonight's activity, I thought I'd share the craft project we did at camp with you.  Our camp director had the fabulous idea to purchase pocket sized scriptures and cover them with scrapbook paper.  I took a big stash of paper and the girls personalized them with ribbon, punches and their imagination!

    2008_09_04_00032008_09_04_0004

    Since I was helping the girls make theirs, I didn't take any pictures at camp.  But, last week I helped Dalene's granddaughter make one and I quickly snapped some!  We even made one for her grandson that just graduated from High School.

    At first I was a little worried … is it sacreligious to cover your scriptures?  Then I thought about how much more likely the girls (and myself) would be to keep their scriptures in their backpacks or purses if they were covered.  And realized what a wonderful idea it is! 

    These are SO easy!  Have you ever covered a text book?  It's the same thing!

    • Cut a 10 x 12 base piece.
    • Fold one side (the long side) up approximately 2"
    • Set the scriptures on the paper, with about 1/8" paper showing above, fold up the other side.
    • Fold right side in about 2"
    • Slide scriptures in, wrap around and fold left side up.
    • Embellish as desired!

    ***I did glue the flaps down.  Be sure to not glue the "pocket" shut Amberthat the front and back cover slide into.

    ENJOY!

    Quick Quotes sent me a Kids Create Canvas Kit, a Good Times Mega Pack and a Powder Puff Ink Set and let me play.  This is what I came up with! 

    You know what's really cool?  The Canvas kits come with a 6×6 canvas also, so you can make a small set for your office, your husband's office, grandparents or whoever you'd like!

    Want a fun twist?  Instead of hinging the canvas together, try gluing ribbon between two (or three) canvases together with a bow on top and hang your Canvas Creation on the wall!

    Thank you Quick Quotes for letting me play with your fun products!

    ENJOY! Amber
