Wow, it's been a while since I have posted. The Christmas season sure kept me busy! During the hustle and bustle of the season, I managed to find time to make these cute cards. I made several of them and gave them to a few special people as a gift. I got to finally break in the music notes wheel. It was the first thing I fell in love with when the catalog came out, and have not used it until now. I left off a sentiment so the cards can be used for any occasion. I had so much fun making these cards. Don't you just love it when you create something that is so simple and effortless that turns out beautiful? Well, I do! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and I have LOTS of fun new stuff coming up ahead... including new catalogs, new stamps, monthly classes and AWESOME events!!! Be sure to check back soon!Wednesday, December 29, 2010

I made these cute festive gifts for my Hostesses having Holiday Workshops this month. This is what the front looks like all tied up ready to be opened.

These gifts are so cute and I'm sure my Hostesses will love them! If you are interested in Hostessessing a fun workshop with your friends just give me a call! I am starting to fill up my January/Febrary schedule and would love to include YOU!

Oh Baby!
Hey there!It's baby card time! I know so many people that will be having babies within the next 6 months, so I've got to get my baby card stash up to par. I have had this card floating around in my head for quite some time. I have finally let it out of my head. I think it tured out cute. The whole idea is that the third little quail is the baby- a boy- and the boy will be the third child in this family. Get it? It is hard to see in the picture, but the 'baby' quail is paper pieced on blue paper. I used the coming-out-of-retirement, Baja Breeze and the soon-to-come-out-brand-new, Marina Mist (the darker blue). I just love this color combo. I think it will be a perminent scheme in my collection of cards. To get my ribbon like that, I just sewed a strip down the middle with my sewing machine, and folded it over as I went. Thanks for stopping by!

Fun with Color
Hey there!My little girls and I had a craft day all day. I have been having so much fun with the new Awash with Flowers stamp set. It's funny how certain stamp sets just get your creative juices flowing and the possibilities are endless, but how sometimes other stamp sets just leave you blank and really struggling. It's been a while since I have had a new stamp set that just let the flood gates open with creativity. Awash with Flowers is that creative stamp set for me. I really love the two-step stampin'. I had a fun time creating monochromatic cards today. I need to get my fill of Crushed Curry and Bermuda Bay before they are gone forever. I have really enjoyed the In Colors this year. Lucky for me (and all of us out there), Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry and Soft Suede have made it into the Stampin' Up! Color Collections- Wahoo!!! Take a scroll down and see my four creations. I think these four would make a great gift for someone. A Thank You pack. Thanks for stopping by. Feel free to leave a comment! ;)

Awash with Target
Hey there!I went into Target a few weeks ago, and immediately saw all their cute new signs displaying their new colors of spring. I was awestruck by one of their color combinations... Rich Razzleberry, Melon Mambo and Real Red! Mental note noted. When I finally received my Awash with Flowers stamp set in the mail, I knew this would be the perfect stamp set to go with my new favorite color combo. I finally had a chance to sit down today and make my card I have been thinking about non stop for weeks. I love it! I know exactly who will be receiving this card in the mail soon. I just love the two-step stamp, Awash with Flowers! So many fun options with this set! Thanks for stopping by!

Plum For You
Hi there! Here is a quick and super easy card that I made today. I used the Sale-A-Bration set Vintage Labels. I have this set in clear mount, so what I did was randomly place the three label stamps on my large clear block, inked it all up, then stamped all the stamps at once. I think I stamped it two or three times to fill the piece of paper. I love the randomness of that technique. This set is really growing on me. The great thing about this set is that the three label stamps coordinate perfectly with three of Stampin' Up's punches! Love that! Hope you enjoy today's card. Thanks for stopping by! :)------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ruffles

Hi everyone! Here is a cute little card I made the other day. Once again I was inspired by one of Dawn's cards. She made a cute card with some really cute ruffles and I just had to give it a try. First I rolled the Very Vintage wheel in Crushed Curry ink onto Whisper White cardstock. Then I used the scalloped punch and punched out a few lines of scallops. I sponged the scallops a little with Creamy Caramel ink. Glued them on in layers and gave them a little fluffing. The cute border around the 'For You' is the Vintage Labels Sale-A-Bration set. I thought this card turned out so cute and fluffy. Thanks for stopping by! :)
