Spring Card

Yes, winter may have just begun....but I'm already looking ahead for spring: I'm praying warm weather will be here soon. Here's a little card that makes me excited for spring:In case you can't see, the quote says "if nothing ever changed there would be no butterflies -unknown"

Challenge Card

I received some goodies in the mail from my SS and still hadnt had a chance to use them. So, I've made this card to send to her. I'm trying to use all the scraps and such that I have collected...so here is my finished card. What do you think?

Paint Can

This is the paint can I covered with DSP to hold the stationary I ordered for my FMIL.... Well, it just didn't look finished to me...so, I had to add...one of my favorite things.....RIBBON:
What do you think?

Card Gift Set

Check out this set of cards I created as a gift for my grandmother. These cards utilize SU's a Season of Friendship (a favorite of mine) as well as my new toy, JustRite Curlz Monogram Set.
I used Old Olive, Bravo Burgundy, and Close to Cocoa. The ribbon is Bravo Burgundy as well.

Tons of Goodies!!!!

Here's a pic of all my new goodies...I've already assembled the 7 stamp sets and now i think i better get to stamping.

The holidays are a time of love and giving....but they are also a time of STRESS. And there's no better remedy than a nice bar of chocolate! Here is a Chocolate Pull I created using the Crazy for Cupcakes set (stampin up). I picked up the ribbon in a set of 3 at the Target dollar spot (one of my favorite places). Enjoy!

(oops....sorry if I sparked a major cupcake craving! these little guys just look so delicious!)

CHKD Bucket

I love to decorate containers...here is one I did to put candy in at my desk at work. A friend and I are collecting money for the CHKD Change Round-Up.


There is very little stamping involved. Just one stamp from the Smorgasborders set. I drew the letters and cut them out.

Hope you enjoyed today's project. Keep checking back for more.

The Big Reveal

Today's the day...the big reveal.
Here's my xmas card I've been promising... here's a few shots so you can get the full effect.


I hope you enjoyed the card...thanks for reading!

Another Piece of Xmas

A few more sneak peaks of the christmas cards i've put together. I used Stampin Up products, including this tug boat stamp from the set "Boatloads of Love". The wording is from an old retired Stampin Up set...its says "May this holiday find you surrounded by those you love."

Tomorrow will be the big reveal day so please stay tuned and thanks for checking in.

Can you believe it's November?

Wow...November is already here.
Before you know it Christmas will be here...which means its time to start thinking about your christmas cards. That one time a year you replicate a so many cards you lose count to send out to your family and friends.
This year I've chosen a waterfall card for my card of choice.
I'm not quite ready to display this card yet, but I will give you a little preview of all the work I've been doing this weekend.
That is: Not Quite Navy cardstock with White Craft Ink (stampin up products) and a custom stamped I ordered from Stamps by Impression.

I'll reveal a different part of this card over the next week. Next weekend I will display the completed card....gotta keep you in suspense for a little while.

Thanks for stopping by.

Friendship is the Sweetest Flower

Created this one from some designer series paper....gotta love this stuff!
The only thing that is stamped is the sentiment: "you're simply the best"


I made a couple others changing the layout and placing the flowers in different places. Give it a go!
