Timeless Photo Blocks- 2015 Convention Connection project

Fun photo or card blocks.  You can find these blocks at oriental trading. They are quick and easy to do. Cut your DSP at 2-7/8 x 12 then just wrap it around. Below are the step by step instructions that we used in our class.

Sweet Li'l Tags with Diaper- 2015 Convention Connection Project

Three sweet little tags stuffed in a diaper.  How cute is that?  The tags are cut at 2 x 4-1/4.  The diaper is a 10x10 piece of DSP cut diagonally.  You can get 4 diapers out of it. The 2 inch pieces can be used on the tags.

Adventure bound- Project Life 2015 Convention Connection Project

Here we are. The first project of our Convention Connection class. You can bet we will be doing this for our club in August. This DSP is so fun and just about all the designs work great.  (The designs that don't work will be used on our school pages next month.)

Build a birthday Candle cards

Sorry about the fuzzy ones.  I should've cropped them out, but I love those layouts.  They are all packed up ready to be displayed at our Convention Connection coming up soon, so I couldn't take another picture. You'll have to come to our class and take your own picture:)

Out of the Box cards

These are great "Out of the Box" cards. Or maybe "out of the envelope liners" would be a better name. But who woulda thought to use a envelope liner for those. Another brilliant lesson by our friend Tonja Mast!

Happy Snappy card and Project Life

This is a great example of how easy it is to use project life pieces and make cards out of them. Or vice versa. If you have a card that you love, try using that as your focal point. Then just add a few pieces of DSP and copy a couple of elements off your card and you have a complete Project Life page! Great job Tonja Mast!

Toadally Awesome cards

That's a fun basic layout for a card. It would pretty much work with any stamp set and DSP I think. Great Job Tonja Mast! I bet like me, she cuts the words from the image and mounts them separately.

End of the rainbow- Project Life

Pretty Simple layout.  I do love the little smush of paper though. That of course happened out of necessity(the piece was to long). I also love Project Life, memory keeping is not so overwhelming any more. I even feel like I can catch up.  Check out our post in October 2014 on our project life experiment. You can catch up too!

Over the Rainbow cards

The Over the Rainbow stamp set goes great with Cherry on Top DSP Stack. All those bright colors are perfect.

Happily Hitched Treat bag

Do you ever need a gusseted bag and only have flat ones. It doesn't look pretty on the bottom but it works. I stuffed the candy in the bag first so it would puff it out.  That made it easier to make the gussets and fold down the bottom. Fun little wedding thank you!

Birthday Popcorn

This stamp set goes perfect with the shape of this popcorn. The Lolly was made with two 11x 1-1/2 pieces of white cardstock. The black band is 6-1/2x2. You can order boxes of these popcorns on amazon, these we found at Costco.

Amazing Bags- punch board

Bags are easy to make with the Gift Bag Punch Board. Once you get the hang of it, you can do several really fast.  I would recommend not doing a bag taller than 7" or so.  It is possible, but there isn't enough room on the punch board to score all the way down. I used a 6"x10" piece of DSP for these bags.We glue dotted stars onto the sparklers. One more hint: the bag will be backwards to the picture on the board, not a big deal, just a little confusing at first:)
