Wayne is really enjoying creating these cards.



Here I am explaining and teaching another card that we will be making.







This is Traci, our wonderful Director of Operations at DREAM. This was her first time stamping and I think it's fair to say that Traci is HOOKED! She did such a nice job on her cards--elegant, classy creations with nice, clean lines.

Day 2 of DREAM Charter School Creating Your DREAMs...

Here is another action shot of our holiday stamping. Check out the intense technique that Traci is using!



Everyone was having a really nice time relaxing together. It was a great afternoon of laughing and getting ink on our fingers. I am so lucky to have this amazing opportunity to share my love of stamping with these amazing people.



Here is a beautiful card that Sara created to celebrate Solstice.



Wayne put a creative twist on the holiday cards. I love his use of the three ornaments with the pop of orange.




Wayne is a really creative and down-to-earth guy with an contagious laugh! It was so much fun to stamp with him.

Marty's Sunday Sketch #8

12/20/2009 10:06:00 PM / Posted by Heidi Bound / comments (2)

Well, this is week 8--can't believe it! I am so excited about the edgy New York City sketch that Marty created this week. He loves to sneak off to the craft room and make his little creations. He then snaps a picture with his Blackberry and emails it to me. It's fun for him and I look forward to getting his cute email.



This is the sketch for this week. I thought for sure that our design team would make lots of city skyline cards. I was amazed as they emailed their designs to me this week! They are all so different and so beautiful. We would love to hear your comments and have you add your card.

Holiday Cards-Stamping at DREAM Charter School

12/20/2009 12:00:00 PM / Posted by Heidi Bound / comments (0)



I am really enjoying my new school! There are so many positive aspects to working at DREAM Charter School, mostly the staff. There are really amazing, intelligent people working there. I recently started an after school stamping club for the staff called CREATING YOUR DREAMS.

We meet twice a month after school to learn new stamping techniques and projects. It is a fun way to spend time together being creative and getting to know each other better.

Our first session together was spent making holiday cards. It was a blast and everyone really enjoyed getting inky and being creative. Many of the stampers had never stamped before and most are quickly becoming addicted.

I took many pictures that afternoon and plan to post them over the next few days. I hope that you will stop by and check them out. I would love to hear your comments!



Here we are! Check out Sara, Wayne, Heidi, Traci and Crystal as we get started on making 12 holiday cards.



Getting ready and picking our cardstock colors. So many beautiful colors to pick from.



Everyone is working really hard--not sure about the face I am making! ha ha



Sara, Traci and Crystal are having such an amazing time! Check back tomorrow for more of our stamping pictures...hope you leave a comment!

Cute Butterfly Card

12/19/2009 12:00:00 PM / Posted by Heidi Bound / comments (0)


A few months ago, I got together with my wonderful friend (and stampin' sister) Corris. Corris is a member of my Stampin' Up! downline. We met to do a shoebox swap at the Sony Atrium in New York City. At that event, I had the pleasure of meeting Kim who is a member of Corris' downline. This beautiful, happy card was designed and shared by Kim. This is my version of her card--so cute!

I am so drawn to butterflies and anything purple. I was thrilled with the choices of stamps and colors that Kim made. This was a really fun afternoon of crafting, girl talk and a lot of laughing! Thanks ladies for a perfect afternoon.
