Wanna Know What I've Been Doing?

Well besides the holiday madness like everyone else! For the last month or so over on Splitcoast > http://www.splitcoaststampers.com < I've been working on a new project for the largest online public gallery for Stampin'Up! products.

Basically a group of demo's will be bringing the SCS general public a monthly showcase of Stampin' Up! works of art! There is a team of 7 demo's, plus 3 coordinators involved in bringing this all new showcase to you. This new showcase is called the "Creative Crew." The 7 demo's will have four themes or focus areas each month to work with. I can't tell you everything but I can say that everyone should pop into the SCS gallery on Saturday 1/1/2011 at 1:00 (est) When you get there simple type "creativecrew" into the gallery search bar and a world of wonderful SU should appear to you!

The great thing about this is not only will EVERYONE get to see these projects, but demonstrators are encouraged to share these "themes/focus" areas with you and you to can play along!

I cannot share any complete projects with you because I do not want to steal the Crew's thunder, however I can give you a sneak peek and you can try to figure out what our four themes/focus areas are for this month. Don't worry if you can't figure it out, I'll be sharing them with you on Saturday.

But for now, here's a peek for you:

Pink Angels

I have no idea who makes this stamp, it was another that my friend Kim let me use, but she's very sweet for the holiday!

Symphony in White

What do you think? Conjur up all kinds of wintery thoughts doesn't it!!! Vellum, Mulberry paper, Silver, and embossing, they all go together so well!

Bell or Skirt?

I freehanded what I thought was a Christmas bell, my daughter says it's a Christmas skirt - oh well, I think it's okay. Not sure where the paper is from, it's another RAK, but everything else is SU!

Classic Icon

They don't get better than the "Lovely As A tree" set! I paired the image with a piece of wallpaper sample for a very rich look.

Shrinky Dinky Ornaments

Hello I'm Patty and I'm a hoarder ;) Yes I've been hoarding the SU poly shrink for years! But this ornament punch is made for shrinky dinks!!!!

Simply Scandinavian

This card is kind of plain, I wanted the tree to stand out. However, I still think it needs something....

Embedded Ornaments

I'm not sure who the paper is for the ornaments is from (they were a RAK for SCS) but everything else in this card is SU!

Christmas Stencils

I wanted to try a Christmas card with stencils, I needed a larger palette, this card is 5 x 7, to do it, but I love the stencil, the button, and fabric altogether!!!

Time to get Christmasy!

I honestly do not know who makes this bird, but I think it's a retired SU stamp. My friend Kim was kind enough to let me stamp some images for myself, and while there is a lot of cutting involved, he sure is regal looking!
