Snowman

I saw this idea on a blog, Stamping with Sheryl, and thought I would try it. I really like how it turned out. I used a paper towel tube and covered it with regular copy paper, the brim of the hat is cut with a scallop nestibilities. It was easy to do and I will probably add the rest of the family later.

Hearts

Very simple card for today, just embossing, piercing and a punch. My sweet Sadie got hold of my piercer so for this card I had to use a push pin, worked okay but she is still in trouble! Hope you have a relaxing weekend and have time to stamp something pretty.

MOJO Monday Challenge

I really enjoyed this challenge and I liked how the card turned out so much so that I already mailed it to a fiend who recently lost her father. Make sure you check out this site http://mojomonday.blogspot.com for the sketch as well as all the other cards.

For my card, I used the stamp set Upsy Daisy and paper from Stampin' Up, Washington Apple .

Dream a Little

This card was made using a set that will be in the new 2009 Stampin' Up catalog. I love the hummingbird and the flower is a two step stamp. I used rose red card stock, I just realized how often I am using that color lately. I also used designer paper from the Sweet Always collection. Hope you like it!

Happy Heart Day

Maybe my new stamps will be here soon and I can use another set although I do like this one, Happy Heart Day. I used the Top Note and cut it in 3 different colors and then cut and pieced the different patterns. I used some different colors on this one as well: pretty in pink, real red, and a designer paper from Reminisce. I colored the heart with copic #R29 and added the heart brad from the Paper Company. Hope you like it.

OCC Challenge

This is a card I did for a challenge at Our Creative Corner. It has lots of layers and was fun to do. Sometimes when I am stuck a template really helps me pull a card together. You can see the template here.

Just Buzzin' By

I think this set is so cute! I had several ideas to try for this card and none of them worked. I wanted to put a slider in behind the bee hive with the sentiment on it but the first time I pulled it out, it broke so I stamped the sentiment at the bottom and it didn't stamp very well so I covered it with card stock. Anyway, here it is although I am not real pleased with it. I did get to use my new nestibilities though and I really like these. These can be used with the Big Shot which makes it handy.

This set is call "Just Buzzin By" and will be new in the Spring catalog. It has 8 stamps: 3 different bees(each with a little attitude of their own), the hive, a honey pot, a flower, and two sentiments(just buzzin by to say...have a honey of a day).

I used my new Georgia Peach designer paper and some watercolor paper for this card.

Happy New Year

Hope you are having a wonderful New Year and that 2009 is the best year yet!

This is a card I made for a shoebox swap I am going to later today. It is very simple but I liked it. I used the Stampin' Up set, Love You Much. The colors are pink pirouette and Riding Hood Red. The love birds were paper pieced using Candy Lane paper which is hard to see in this terrible photo, I have tried all day to get a good picture and the overcast skies aren't allowing it.
