Chalkboard Labels to get you organized

Well I saw this on DIY Dish video, chalkboard labeling and thought it was something new. I got all excited. Trying to get back to their site to check out their label templates, seems tons of folks are labeling this way so guess it's not new. They were using Chalkboard paint which is crisp white and with a wet cloth wash it off and start over.

Ok, I have my chalkboard pens and then I'm off to get the paint. r some chalkboard labels and you don't have to mess with the paint. Believe me, I have a lot of stuff to label.

But if you want to save some time til you see if you like the idea or give it as a gift, Stampin Up offers the labels ready to go.

April 2010 stamp class with Awash with Flowers project 1

Well Spring is bursting out all over. What better way to celebrate than with Stampin Up's 2-step set: Awash with Flowers. This tall card to the right is the one we are making but of course a little tweak here and there can change the look of a card and someone in class always improves what we start with. Anytime you have a variation or a card, let me know and we'll post it. Below are a couple of other versions. I think that the 3rd. card will also use this set.

April 2010 stamp class using Awash with Flowers

We're using "Awash with Flowers" and here are 3 versions of the same card. They were cased and tweaked to what I had on hand. Not sure you can tell the difference but the designer paper is Old Olive. The card is A.Artichoke with W.White. The top card and one on the left are using Rich Razzleberry. The lower right is using Cherry Cobbler. We're making the lower right card but you'll have the option to change it up. I'll post one of the other projects in the am.
