A Whole Lot of Lovely

Today I have another sneak peek from the new catalog which begins June 2nd.  The Bohemian DSP has such a pretty color palette.  Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday Everyone

Thanks to everyone who came to my  Open House on Saturday.  This card was the Make and Take.  I love the color combination of Rich Razzleberry, Crushed Curry, and Bermuda Bay.  The birthday sentiment is from the stamp set, Happy Birthday Everyone.  Thanks for stopping by!

You're the Best

I had my catalog open house today and this little bag was one of the samples I made for it.  This is a catalog case showcasing the  Triple Banner Punch.  Thanks for stopping by!

12 Day of Christmas Tags Day 9

Good afternoon!  Today's tag was made with some SAB FREEBIES, the DSP is called Sycamore Street and is gorgeous.  I thought the pattern in this one looked a little like one the ornaments in the Ornament Keepsakes set and just took a chance with Summer Starfruit combined with Island Indigo as Christmas colors.  I like how it turned out.  The O in JOY is one of the stamps from the Ornament Keepsakes.  The ribbon is also a SAB FREEBIE and is in the Sycamore Street collection.  Thanks for stopping by!

Papaya Collage

Good morning!  School is winding down for my girls, I am really happy about having them home and doing Summer fun things.  Don't get me wrong, I am always looking forward to school going back by August  but for now just not having the homework sounds good.  Today I have another sneak peek from the upcoming catalog.  I stamped  the frame from the stamp set, Papaya collage, and the cut another piece of paper for the center part. The butterfly is cut out and put on a dimensional.  The ink colors are Midnight Muse, Raspberry Ripple, and Gumball Green.  Thanks for stopping by!

Friend

Good afternoon, hope your weekend was fabulous!  Whenever I get a new catalog the first thing I do is go through it an make me a list of the things I want to CASE.  This card caught my eye immediately , it is on page 133.  I did a few changes to it  and really like how it turned out.  The stamp set is Fabulous Phrases and is a carryover from the last catalog.  The color combo is one I have used often(Pool Party, Daffodil Delight, and retired Poppy Parade), I first saw it in the Color Coach.  If you don't have the Color Coach, I highly recommend you get it.  I use it almost every day.   Another new item is the stitched Daffodil Delight ribbon.  I will be doing a ribbon share again so be watching for those details.  

Thanks to all who came to my Open House on Saturday.  The winners of the prizes were...Chris won the embossing folder, Sharon H. won the Designer Paper, Shirley won the stamp set, Jeri won the card stock and stamp set, and Irma won the shopping bag.

Christmas??? Really??

Good afternoon!  Yes, really...I know it is way too early to start thinking about Christmas cards...or is it?  We were able to get a Christmas stamp and this lovely DSP as part of our pre-order for the new catalog so I thought why not. I think the DSP, Be of good Cheer, is the best we have had in a few years.  It coordinates with Cherry Cobbler, Gumball Green, and Very Vanilla.   The stamp set is called Chock Full of Cheer and is one that I will use to make tags for sure.  Thanks for stopping by!

Celebrate MOJO Monday

Good afternoon!  Today I have another sneak peek from the upcoming catalog.  Baja Breeze has always been one of my favorite colors, just about any other color goes well with it so I was happy to see this DSP.  It is called Floral District and coordinates with Daffodil Delight, Lucky Limeade, Rich Razzleberry, Rose Red, Tangerine Tango, and Whisper White.  I used the MOJO Monday sketch(I just flipped it) for the design but forgot to post it on Monday.  The stamp set is Betsy's Blossoms, I used it earlier in the week just a different image.  Thanks for stopping by.


ps...don't forget I am having Open House on Saturday...I have been busy making samples with a lot of things from the new catalog.  You can register for door prizes and do a Make and Take as well.

Betsy's Blossoms

Good morning!  I am loving all the new items I got to pre-order from the new catalog.  Stampin' Up really outdid themselves on the DSP this time, it is for the most part smaller print designs which make it a lot easier when it comes to making cards.  This collection, Floral District, is gorgeous.  I would have never put green and  purple together but I love it!  The stamp set is called Betsy's Blossoms.  The sentiment is cut with one of the Bitty Banner Framelit  dies.

Do you have a catalog yet?  If not let me know and I will get one to you.  If you have ordered from in the past year, you can get one for free.  You can come to my Open House on Saturday May 19th or just drop by my office.  I will be mailing to my out of town folks this week.  If you aren't a customer already and want a catalog, email me at dls8383@gmail.com to get the details.

Open Sea

Good Monday afternoon!  I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day yesterday, mine was awesome.  My girls made me some of the cutest things ever, they are really good at card making and I get cards from them often but this year I got a coaster made from Sadie's artwork, beautiful watercolor pictures, I love you notes by my bed, flowers, and a lunch of fried green tomato sandwich(I am vegetarian, they had turkey added to theirs) with french fries.  I got flowers and phone calls from the older kids which was very nice.  Ok, Mother's Day is over so now it is time to focus on Father's Day although I used Happy Birthday on this card, it could easily be a Father's Day card..  I am so glad the stamp set, Open Sea, carried over to the new catalog since I hadn't even mounted it until this morning.  The DSP is from the new catalog and will be available June 1, it is from the Comfort Cafe collection.  The card stock colors are Soft Suede and Very Vanilla.  The sentiment was cut out with Bitty Banners Framelits also available June 1.

Summer Smooches For You

 Good evening!  Sorry I am posting so late but you would not believe my day....anyway tomorrow has to be better.  See you tomorrow.

Summer Smooches

Good morning, it has been a beautiful Spring morning here.  I sat outside and ate my breakfast this morning and the birds were singing and the bunnies in my yard were running and having fun not to mention the flowers blooming everywhere.  My card today is a Sneak Peek at two new products available very soon.  the DSP is gorgeous and is called Summer Smooches.  The stamp set is Bright Blossoms.  Sorry my photo is a little out of focus, I think a certain little one has done a bit of adjusting for me.  Thanks for stopping by!

Love you

Good afternoon!  Is it too early to start posting Valentines?  I have been making a few because I got to preorder from the Occasions Mini and wanted to try out my new stamps.  I love the new Embossing Folders, they are strips rather than a full card front which makes it easy to emboss on just part of the card front.  I also used the Edgelet Die to cut the scalloped edge on the bottom.  The heart was cut with the Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslit die and the sentiment is from the stamp set P.S. I Love You.  This was a very quick and easy card to put together.   

Sadie was organizing her room this morning and I took a few photos of her with her new American Girl doll that she got for Christmas.  I usually get her one for her birthday and one for Christmas but she has all the Historical dolls  so she only gets the Girl of the Year now.  This years doll is named Kanani and is from Hawaii.  This one is her favorite for right now but I bet her Bitty Twins will be back off the shelf soon.

SAB will be here soon!

Good evening!  Today I have a card using the Fresh Vintage Stamp Set from the SAB(Sale-a-bration) catalog.  This set along with the Everyday Enchantment DSP and the ribbon and brads to match are my  favorites right now. And the best part is that you can get all three of these for FREE starting Jan 24.  For every $50.00 in SU you order, you get to choose an item for free from the SAB catalog.   Thanks for stopping by!

Vintage?

Happy New Years Eve!  Hope you have big plans for bringing in the New Year, me not so much...I decided to come into the office to do a little stamping and catch up on a few things but will probably be in bed by 10:00.  My girls have a few days left of Christmas break and they have plans for Monday and Tuesday so I am sure I will be driving them wherever they plan to go so I may be hard to catch until they go back to school on Wednesday.  I did at least unpack a shipment and made this card.  I don't do very well at Vintage and this beautiful DSP is very much that.  It is the Everyday Enchantment from SAB catalog and the stamp set is called Elementary Elegance and is also SAB.  It is much prettier IRL but still I don't think it is vintage which is what I wanted to achieve.  The card stock colors are Pool Party,  Lucky Limeade, and Very Vanilla.  Thanks for stopping by!

Happiest Birthday

Good afternoon!  I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, mine was an adventure.  I won't go into details except to say stomach viruses make Christmas a little less merry.  But all is well now so maybe I can get some things made with all the new stuff I ordered from the Occasions Mini and Sale a Bration catalogs.  If you need either of these catalogs let me know and I will get one out to you, they are full of awesome new stuff.   For today's card I used the stamp set, Apothecary Art, which is made to be used with the Label Framelet dies.

Stampin' Up has announced that the Stocking Punch  and Stitched Stockings stamp set  will not be carried over to the new main catalog in July so if you want that punch you will need to order it by Jan 3.  The Stocking Die and Accents die will be carried over as well as the Peekaboo Frames die.  I will be placing an order on Jan 3rd if you need something.

Good afternoon!  Wow, I can't believe Christmas is almost here, I think the realization hit me this morning that I am totally not ready.  I have bought a few things but the lists still have a lot to be marked off.  It has been crazy things that have kept me from getting what I need to get done, like losing power on Saturday and having to spend most of the day helping my husband get the parts to install a whole new electrical breaker system.  I am just thankful we were home when it burned up because we could have easily lost our home.  Luckily I went into the laundry room and smelled wood burning just before the electricity went out.  Plus I must have been crazy to schedule dentist appointments and check ups this close to Christmas, that is where we have been this morning.  The girls have parties at school tomorrow and of course I have lots to do get ready for that but then it is off to the mall.

Anyway, I do have a card to show you for today, it has a total of 5 sneak peaks on it!  The DSP is gorgeous and is called Sweet Shop from the Occasions Mini.  The stamp set  is called Mouthwatering and is one of my favorites as well as the Jelly Bean Brads which coordinates with the Sweet Shop paper.  We are also getting Baker's Twine in all five of the new In Colors.  I used Lucky Limeade here.  And the best one...the Labels Collection Framelit Dies are just what I have been wanting.  Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas Fun

Good Monday morning!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend, ours was super busy but so much fun too.  On Saturday I had my last class until the New Year and after that the girls and I finished up all the house decorations and did a little baking.  Yesterday was nonstop...we went to church and then at 2:00 Shelby had her band concert and choir performance which was over at 3:30 and then we hurried home to get Sadie and Dalton ready for their musical at 5:30.  I am the choir director for the 2-3 year old choir at church aka as The Noisemaker Choir which is the one Dalton is in.  My little ones will sing their  hearts out in the room but the minute they walk on stage they freeze and hardly sing at all but the cute factor is enough to get us through.  Sadie is in the Christ Kids choir and they put on a play and musical, she did an awesome job with the actions and singing.  I will show you a little clip of it tomorrow. 

Ok, enough of my bragging about my little ones...today's card has some very old DSP on it(not sure what it was called).  The card stock is Riding Hood Red, Old Olive, and Whisper White.  The tree is from the set Bright Hopes.  Did you notice the ribbon, it is the 3/8 inch Pleated Satin Ribbon that will be available in the Occasions Mini and will come in Pear Pizazz, Blushing Bride, and Baja Breeze as well.    Thanks for stopping by!
