Stampin' Sweet

Happy Friday and woo-hoo for the weekend! I am looking forward to it! The weather will be gorgeous, I get to stamp and create with my favorite ladies and finally read the last twenty pages of the Hunger Games. How will you be spending your weekend? I thought I would share this card I will debut at my Card Buffet Class beginning next Month! I am really excited to kick it off. Please let me know what you think of this card. This card was inspired by a lovely card made by Terry Kaspari . This is not the exact card she made but thanks to her card I was able to create this one! I loved her color combination and the cute vase idea. The vase is made using the oval punch and then cutting the top at an angle and the bottom straight across, then you pop it up with dimensionals. So cute! -March Photo-A-Day- Day 9. Red- The envelope from our Netflix movie. I think the movie Salt is in there. I did not watch that movie so I cannot give you my thoughts on it!  Day 10. L...

I cannot believe we are halfway through March. Now, I know the term March Madness is typically used for the NCAA basketball tournaments, but I feel like March Madness is sweeping through my house.  Spring is emerging, the weather is lovely. It is time to play outdoors, cookout on the grill, and clean the yard. Spring also means tons of kids activities. We are always on the go with baseball, dance class, swim lessons, oh and school fits in there somewhere. So when the kids go to bed and I need to relax I have been making cards. Stamping is therapeutic. You should definitely try it! I will share some of my latest cards soon. For today I will share a fun card that Kathy taught me how to make. I was so excited when she showed me the reflection technique . It is so easy! Who knew that you could create this magic with window sheets, sticky notes and a brayer! Lovely As A Tree stamp set #115026 Glossy White 8 1/2 x 11" card stock #102599 Brayer ...

You can view each picture with descriptions of you click on my Feb Photo Challenge tag.  I have already started the March Challenge and I will post photos soon. Thanks for looking! Everyone is welcome to join! It is a fun reminder to take more photos, think outside the box and take a few minutes to enjoy the things around you! Here is the March Challenge! I would love to see your pictures if you decide to play!

Holy cow! I cannot believe March is a few days away. I hope that means that Spring is just around the corner because the weather in Colorado has been crazy! I am ready for the flowers to bloom and for warmer temperatures. Today I want to share a Thank You card I made for one of my customers. It was such an easy card to put together thanks to my embossing folders. I love embossing folders! I think they are an easy way to add texture and fun designs to your cards. Here I used the Finial Press Textured Impressions Embossing Folder for use with our Big Shot. Do you have a favorite Stampin' Up! Embossing Folder? Now, I need to catch up with my -February Photo A Day Challenge- Day 14. heart Got Love. Yes I do. We made 25 of these adorable mini-milk cartons for my daughters class for her Valentine celebration!

I truly enjoy this holiday. I do. I love the colors, the candy, the flowers, and pretty much everything associated with it! I have fond memories of grade school, when we decorated shoe boxes with crepe paper and hearts. I loved writing my classmates names on the witty and sometimes corny store bought Valentine's. It was exciting and innocent. Now I enjoy creating my own Valentine's and writing a heartfelt message. I celebrate love everyday, but today it is extra special! Here is the card I made for my Valentine! He received it already via US Mail so I can now post it online In the close up, you can see I used embossing powder when I stamped the typewriter!

At 10am I was trying to figure out what we should eat for breakfast. Then my kids informed me they had already eaten breakfast! Say what! Yes, as I lay in bed, they ate a bowl of cereal. I thought, wow, I have the best kids in the world, then I realized the longer they let me sleep the longer they have to play before chores! Day 6. dinner I am a spoiled girl.
