Start Stamping!

Hi Ladies,

I hope you are all managing to keep cool in this heat wave! I think it's off to the lake for me today! Here is a card that I made with the ladies at my New Catalogue Party. I'm really enjoying this stamp set from the new catalogue! So fun!

Paper: Real Red, Cameo Coral, Whisper White, Pink Flamingo Designer Paper

Hi!

Here is a Father's Day card I made with my club ladies last month. It's not very often I make a masculine card, even though I seem to need them just as often! It feels good to have this made ahead of time, now I just need to make two more for the other special dad's in my life!

Here's the recipe:

Stamps: Lovely as a Tree, Wonderful Favorites
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Old Olive
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Kraft, Whisper White, Not Quite Navy
Accessories: Stamping Sponges, Vintage Brads, Old Olive 1/4 " Grosgrain Ribbon

Hi Everyone,
Here is one of my favorite stamp sets from Sale-A-Bration this year. I love this set because it coordinates with so many of Stampin' Up!'s punches, which makes it really quick and easy to make great looking projects.




Here is a cute little paper purse that I will be making for one of my upcoming classes. I saw this idea on one of the blogs that I visit, and I just had to give it a try. It was my first attempt at a paper purse, and I really had fun making it. I like this idea because there is a small white paper bag inside, perfect to use for a little something for someone special.

Hello,

I'm finally getting a photo of my new Manhattan Flowers on here. I have had the Create Decor Element for a while, but decided that I wanted to add a little flair to my crafting area. I must admit I'm a little hooked on the new Decor Elements, and I think my next project will be the kids' rooms. I'm just waiting to see what will be new in July. I'm hoping for something with a shade of purple for my little girls' room. Maybe Lovely Lilac or Lavendar Lace say with Pixie Pink and Tempting Turquoise. Can't wait to see what's coming soon!

Hi!
I'm finally getting around to posting a few pictures of a day trip we took to La Conner Washington. We went for a Sunday drive a few weeks ago, and ended at the Tulip Festival. It was a beautiful sunny day, and so relaxing to be surrounded by thousands of tulips in bloom. The colours were amazing, and I think we snapped over fifty photos! Here are few of my favorites...

Hi!
Here is a twist container that I made with my club this year. I really love the Bella Rose Designer Paper and will be sad when it retires. I have used it on as many cards and projects as possible! On this container I used the Chocolate Chip ribbon, and stamped the greeting from the Happy Heart Day stamp set. Anyway, gotta run. Have a great day, and thanks for visiting!

Hi!

Here is another card that I made with my club ladies last month. It would be perfect for a spring wedding or anniversary. It was really quick and easy to make too!

Hi Ladies,

I do realize that Easter has come and gone, but I finally got around to posting this today! These are a few of the pillow boxes that I made with my club ladies before Easter. So much fun! They are really cute little boxes, and really are the perfect size for diamonds, don't you think! Or maybe just some yummy eggs! Thanks for looking!

Paper: Lavendar Lace, Apricot Appeal Patterns Paper
Accessories: Apricot Appeal 1/4 " Grosgrain Ribbon, Linen Thread, Big Shot, Pillow Box Die, Tag Punch, Small Tag Punch

Well, I've changed my blog once again! I really liked these cute flowers, especially with the buttons. So, I think I'll keep it this way for a while! I just had my club night this last weekend, and I really enjoyed hanging out with this great group of ladies. I'll post some pics soon!

Hi Ladies,

I just came across this great website for Stampin' Up colour combinations. One of the ladies posted the link on the Demonstrator website. It's awesome because you can choose 1 or more colours and then find tons of colour combinations! It also includes past and present In Colours, so I can dust off some of my old In Colour ink pads and get them back in action. (Okay, so my Purely Pomegranate isn't dusty at all, but now I have even more reasons to keep using it!) This is definitely a site worth adding to Your Favourites! My current favorite colour combo is Chocolate Chip, Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette, and Very Vanilla. I'd love to hear what yours is! Here's the link: http://www.scraptitude.com/colorcombo/

Thanks for visiting!

Hi again,

Well, this is a cute little treat pouch that I made a while ago with one of my classes. It's the perfect size for something yummy, maybe an instant hot chocolate package or just chocolate! I think stamping and chocolate go together perfectly, don't you?

Here's the Recipe!

Stamps: Big Bold Birthday, Yummy (Sale-A-Bration Set)

Ink: Chocolate Chip, Rose Red, Versamark

Paper: Bashful Blue, Pretty in Pink, Old Oive, Rose Red, Whisper White

Accessories: Chocolate Chip 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon

Hi All!


Well, I know I sent a bunch of you an email about my upcoming Flip Flop Album class, and most of you are probably wondering what a flip flop album is. I got this wonderful idea from the Stampin' Up! demonstrator website, and it was posted by Jan Farring. I have CASED her class idea, and was really pleased with the result! So, here is a picture of the front. I don't want to give too much away, put it opens and then unfolds to display at least five pages of pictures, you can add more if you do the back sides, and of course you can add journaling on the "doors". I hope I've peaked your interest!

Stamps: Congrats, Polka Dot Punches
Ink: Chocolate Chip, So Saffron, Pink Pirouette
Paper: Delicate Dots, Chocolate Chip, So Saffron, Pink Pirouette, Whisper White
Accessories: Scallop Edge Punch, Full Heart Punch, Boho Blossoms Punch, Vintage Brads, 5/8" Chocolate Chip Grosgrain Ribbon
