SU has Fabric!!!!

I am so excited that Stampin' Up is selling fabric and it coordinates with our colors and papers! The Holiday Mini will have two choices of fabric available in extra long fat quarters(I think they are four inches longer than the usual size). These fabrics don't have a Christmas or holiday theme but they do coordinate with the holiday papers but could be used for any time of the year. The medallion on my card was made from fabric so you don't have to sew to use fabric either. I cut a one inch piece of fabric and folded it it half length wise, cut a 1 3/4 circle from our sticky sheets and started winding and twisting from the center out until I covered the circle, pierced a whole in the middle and added a brad. It was so easy and I love the WOW it gave this card. In each bundle of fabric you will get a project sheet with directions for making several fabric projects. Can't wait to show these to you.

Just Believe

Good morning! First off let me apologize for this terrible photo, it is actually the best of at least 20. It must be the color combination that just isn't photographing well. I used Concord Crush, Pear Crush, and Very Vanilla. did you notice that beautiful Crochet Trim, it is so scrumptious! The stamp set is one we got at convention called Just Believe, my new favorite! Gotta run, busy schedule today with check-ups for the girls and my hubby may be home today. He has been on the Appalachian Trail back-packing, that was his trip since he stayed home with the girls while I went to Convention. According to the girls he is the BEST daddy in the world (he took them out to eat everyday while I was gone plus a trip to WalMart to buy Silly Bands):)

just a little note...

Good evening! Today I am sharing the note cards I made for my friend Judith who is a school teacher. I posted the cards I made for her yesterday but these are a CAS design using just one sheet of paper rather than a card. I used the stamp set Apple Blossom which is a 2nd level Hostess Set. The DSP is retired. I packaged 8 cards and envelopes inside a clear box. Thanks for stopping by.

Greeting Card Kids

Good evening! Hope your day has been cool(in a weather related way!), we have had a blistery hot day with heat index reaching 110 degrees. Don't you just love these kids in this stamp set! I made a bunch of these for my friend Judith who is a teacher in Virginia. I made her some cards last year and she ran out just before school ended for the summer so she asked me to make more. She teaches 7th grade and has always given a hand written card and a candy treat to each student who makes 100% on their chapter tests. She said she thought about not doing it last year but evidently word had gotten around and when she failed to give them out after the first test, her students reminded her! I made her 30 of this design and then some simpler ones which I will show you tomorrow. I used Old Olive for the base, then a layer of Pacific Point, followed by Pacific Point and Real Red DSP patterned paper. The scallop circles were cut with the Circle Scallop # 2 die and the A+ image is from the First Day stamp set. Thanks for stopping by!

Every Princess Dreams of Her Own Castle

Hello! It's time for the August Paper Cubed Challenge! This month we were to make a picture holder and it couldn't be a frame, why was that so hard for me? I thought and thought on what to make and then I found this cute castle stamp at a local craft store and knew I wanted to make it in to something for Sadie's room. I stamped it four times and colored it in with Copics and then cut each piece out. I used a paper mache' cube which I covered in some pink girly paper to adhere the castle pieces to. The castle is really very sparkly, it just doesn't show up well in the photo. I used some shimmer paint mixed with alcohol to spray on it after I colored it. I also added some jewels which are a new item in the SU catalog, love them! The picture of Sadie is one taken last Fall, she was tired at this point in the photo shoot so she sat down while Shelby was being photographed and the photographer just happened to turn around and caught this perfect photo. Make sure you check out the projects by the rest of the Design Team, here are their links:

Heartfelt Thanks

Good afternoon, hope you are having a terrific week! Today I am sharing my August thank you cards for all my on-line customers. I used the Daisy # 2 die and cut some So Saffron daisies, two of each size and then ran them through the Big shot with the Dots embossing folder. The flower stem is from the stamp set Heartfelt Thanks as is the sentiment and is stamped in Old Olive. The color combo is Real Red, Temping Turquoise, and Old Olive which coordinates with the Play Date DSP. I would never thought of these colors together which is why I love SU DSP, I get my color combo as soon as I decide which DSP to use and then I just have to come up with the design. Don't forget to scroll down and check out my paper and ribbon shares. thanks for stopping by!

Good afternoon! I think I have caught up on laundry and even managed to cook a few meals since my family ate out a lot while I was gone to convention. They did have one good home cooked meal though, my friend Sharon cooked them a wonderful dinner and delivered it so this card is for her. Thanks Sharon! I got this new DSP called Play Date by playing a game at Convention. It was on my wish list so that made me very happy! I just love the owl punch and he is perfect for this paper.

Inspiration Overload

Good morning, I am back from SU Convention and I have soooo much to share! I promise to show you tons of swaps and other things I got at convention. It was definitely inspiration overload to be around 2700 other women who love stamping as much as I do. I was amazed at all the talent and ideas they shared. I had a blast but I am also exhausted(my flight was delayed so I didn't make it home until 3:30 am) so hopefully I can get back into the swing of things starting tomorrow. Today is declared rest day and get caught up on hugs and kisses from my girls. Thanks for stopping by!

Punch Potpourri

Good morning! Today I am sharing the card I used at Convention as a swap. I used the two step bird punch and just punched the bird from DSP for this card but for some of them I stamped the bird from the stamp set, Punch Potpourri. I just love how SU gives us nice punches and then gives us stamp sets to match them, this set also has the flowers that coordinate with the Boho Blossoms punch as well as a butterfly and a heart. The stamp set is a Level 1 hostess set so if you like it call me to set a workshop and it can be yours for FREE.
