Posts Tagged ‘Altered Journals’

My Friday evening this past week was filled with giggles, laughter, excited chatter, and busy creativity. I was the entertainment for Lauren's 13th Birthday party. The girls each got a Blank 5"X5" Journal, a pen, and a Giant paperclip. They would create their own personalized journal, decorative pen, and a Bookmark with our Owl Punch.

Here is the Birthday Girl at the Head of the table.

Get ready, Get Set, CREATE!

I gave them a couple of choices and in the end the Designer Series Paper- Play Date and the New Simply Scrappin' Kit-Playful Polka Dots (from the Summer Mini) were what they truly wanted to dig right into. I also added the Play Date Rub Ons kit. Surprising to me-No Big Shot was used! Shocking-I know! I figured it would be too much. We don't want crafting overload.

Here are just a few of the Amazing Journals the girls created. I am always WOWed with kids ideas when you give them some paper, adhesive, scissors, and stamps. Check this out!

I think I need this gal to give me braiding lessons. Wow!

Just helping out.

Of course there are goodie Bags that I provide. I put these into white handled paper bags with a sample of cardstock and ribbon. They each got a In Color marker and 2 ink spots.

Lauren received one of my Hand Gel boxes with Butter cream Anti Bac gel, along with Brights Watercolor Wonder Crayons.

I hope you enjoyed this little Birthday party share. Lauren- Thanks so much for inviting me into your home and letting me demonstrate a little Stampin' Up!® for you and your friends.

This past Sunday I participated in a local MOPS group for their Spa Afternoon. There were booths/rooms in a church and gym with different vendors which included Hairdressers and chiropractor, massage therapists,etc.

I was set up in a room where a few people wandered in. They could make Altered journals for $6.00 and a bonus Clip Bookmark. It turned out well, I booked another child's Birthday party and interest for another as well as interest for my classes. I used retired DSP for both altered journals. On the butterfly one I used a Sneak Peak butterfly stamp from the New Strength and Hope set that will be in the Summer Mini. If you want one of these mini catalogs, contact me today. Better yet, book a summer workshop/or catalog party today with me! I hope you like.
