This is my card trade from Stamp Club a couple of weeks ago. I'm just a little slow posting it. But it's another fun idea to do with the fan-folded paper. I also stamped one of the ornaments from the Delightful Decorations set, punched it out, cut off the tip of the ornament and you have a cute flower pot! The Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder worked out great with all of the other dots.
Justus was lucky to get his Eagle Project planned before the bad weather started. His project was cleaning up Sandy Beach and Swede's lane by Utah Lake. He had a great turn out from friends, family and ward members. It was cold, but luckily the rain held off. Justus made these invitations up and took them to church and to his friends at school.
Everyone met up at the church. This is Caiden, Colton (aka Smitty), Justus and Wes.
Wes, Tyler, Smitty, Jasper (our dog), Justus, Corbin (aka Lefty) and Jake.

The whole crew walking back to the trucks with the last of our trash.
This is Justus' Grandpa Mike. He took most of these pictures which we were VERY grateful for. Justus' mom got busy picking up trash and only took a few pictures. He and Grandma Bonnie also brought hot chocolate and donuts and served everybody from the back of their truck. By then everyone was cold and hungry, so the hot chocolate and donuts were great!
Trevor (one of Justus' YM leaders) was great to bring his HUGE trailer and bobcat to help us out with the big stuff. There was absolutely no way we could have done it without him!
Trevor's big trailer after we filled it up.
This is his trailer when he went to unload it at the garbage dump. WOW! Justus picked a project that really made a big difference. The land owner came down as we were working and he was very grateful for all of the hard work and he said he had never seen girls help out at an eagle project. Go girls!
Jake even filled up his trailer!
Great job on your Eagle Project Justus' - we're so proud of your hard work and a BIG THANKS so everyone who took time out of their day to come and help!!! We ended up with 24 helpers!
Adri got the chance to go to Dinosnorzzz at Thanksgiving Point last night. It was sponsored by the military so Adri got to go for free. They needed chaperone's, so Jake was able to go with her. They got to watch a dinosaur movie, make dinosaur jaw origami, dig out fossils, made casts of dinosaur teeth, do 3D dinosaur puzzles and got to sleep in the dinosaur rooms. Jake and Adri ended up in the T-rex room. When they woke up they got to eat breakfast and then talk to a paleontologist. They learned a lot and had a great time!
Egg-head Adri!
Bad picture! Jake said the guy taking it wouldn't hold still, but it was the best of the two he took.
We had a fun time at Stamp Club last night making these cute Christmas cards. We used the Square Lattice embossing folder and ran the Real Red paper through the Big Shot to get the cool textured look. I scored the striped pattern paper ahead of time and cut the strip 1" by 12". Then we just fan folded them and attached the ends. I found it worked best to use a pop up glue dot to attach it to the Old Olive Circle. We also used a pop dot to attach the ornament. The glitter brads are new in the Holiday Mini and add a nice glittery touch!
Yesterday some friends and I got together and made a bunch of cards that we could have on hand to give out for birthday's, thank you's and such. Here's a sample of what we made. It was a fun day - thanks girls!
