Free Quilt giveaway

Hi everyone..

Maybe later today I will post another picture of a card, but for now I found this site Old Red Barn Co. that is giving away this GORGEOUS quilt. Aside from paper crafts I also do some quilting and sewing so I wanted to share this giveaway with all of you. Just click on the link and leave her a comment for a chance to win! Good luck! (even though I want to win it)

Greetings Galore

Hi Everyone,

Hope everyone is having a good Wednesday!! Here is my take on the mini pizza box that I found on SCS. I am starting way early and making gifts to give during the holidays to family and friends. Maybe this year I will be ahead of the game instead of behind like normal :)

I decided to use up some retired DSP paper Recollections and Greetings Galore that will retire August 10, 2008 from Stampin Up! The size of the cards are 3"x3" and for 8 cards I only used 2 sheets of card stock and 1 sheet of DSP. I wanted the flowers to be the same colors of my card stock so I dyed them with reinkers. Now my fingers are dyed as well... I guess I could have used tweezers but that's not as fun!

Thanks for looking!!

Older and Wiser...

Here is a quick card I came up with for my Father-in-law. For some reason birthdays just sneak up on me! So I decided to use the Older and Wiser set from Stampin UP! I love turtles!! When we lived in Hawaii turtle items were everywhere, it was great :)











Card Recipe: not quite navy, old olive, close to cocoa dsp, bashful blue .. all items from SU!

Thanks for looking :)

Paperclip madness...lol

Hi everyone,

Hope everyone had a wonderful Saturday. Hubby and I just stayed at home today. I had to finish getting the supplies ready for an upcoming class and hubby needed to do things around the house. I love the Very Punny set from sell-a-bration not to mention it was free :) It is just a cute set all around for little things. I made some book
markers out of the jumbo paperclips. Someone actually placed an order for me to make some but wanted them for file markers. Here are pictures of both sets.


















Recipe: Various colors from Stampin Up, Very Punny stamp set, scallop punch, circle punch

Thanks for looking!

Tote full of notes...

Hi everyone,

I have bunches to do today so not much time to blog :( I wanted to show you another gift I made for a friend. This is a tote made out of one sheet of 12 x 12. I can't remember where I saw the tutorial on it ...:( I visit so many blogs and get ideas but then when I actually get around to make them I forget. I will be back later to give all the details for the cards. Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!!!

Journal makeover....

Hello everyone :) I was browsing the aisles of Michael's the other day when I came across this journal and thought to myself "I could do something with this". So here is what I came up with. I wanted you to see what type of journal I started with and of course the end result. I know just the right person to send this to.

Can't say who because then she would know! However there is a hint in the pictures...lol A rather big hint if you ask me :)
This is the inside of the journal and I didn't think want to leave it blue so I covered it as well. The spiral punch from Stampin Up! works great for this journal.



I hope she will really like it. I LOVE the saying on the front. lol :) Thanks for looking!!


















Journal recipe: Sassy Suzie (retired) SU! chocolate chip satin ribbon, pink grosgrain, berry bliss dsp, whisper white and chocolate chip cardstock. Most SU! products.

Happy Stamping!!

Embrace Life...

I love this paper from Stampin Up! called Ginger Blossoms. It coordinates with the stamp set Embrace Life. Unfortunately the DSP (designer series paper) Ginger Blossoms, the double stitched ribbon Groovy Guava and the cardstock colors that match it will be retiring August 10! So if you are loving these colors and papers as much as I am then you better stock up!

I made this cute little notebook for a secret sister of mine :) I just covered an existing notebook with paper and stamped some images. I used the scallop punch from Stampin Up! to give it a little wow!

Card Recipe: Ginger Blossoms DSP, Groovy Guava ribbon, word window punch, scallop punch, river rock & groovy guava cardstock, crop-a-dile.

Thanks for looking!

A little Suspense :)

This is a new technique I saw on SCS and wanted to give it a try. I have never made a suspense card and I am rather happy with the results if I do say so myself :) This is going to be the card my Hawaii stamp club will be making. I hope they like it. The little picture is whats on the other side of the spinner. If you are interested in the supplies to make this card and many others you should join my Technique Binder Club (email me for more info).









Card Recipe: Fresh Cuts Stamp Set, Wild Wasabi, Taken with Teal, Whisper White and Bali Breeze DSP. Purely Pomegranate double stitched ribbon. All items from Stampin Up! (some retiring August 10, 2008).

Thanks for looking!!

Just moved cards...

These are the cards I made when we moved from Hawaii to Texas. I knew I wanted to use the stamp set Boatloads of Fun from SU! It was just too fitting :) I love this set because you can use all of the accessories to put anything in the boat! If you notice I did each of them a little different. I was trying to decide which style I liked better. On one of them my husband was like...wait a minute you put ME in the dingy and the dog in the boat with you!!! LOL Oh well! Hope you like them :)


Card Recipe: Boatloads of Fun Stampin up, Crazy Alphabet (retired SU), Other stamps. Ruby Red, Old Olive Cardstock SU. Tab punch SU, Mat Pat SU...

Criss Cross Card...

Here is a card I previously made with my Stamping Club. It is a very easy card to make but yet is very different from the normal card. :) I stamped the flower image on watercolor paper and used the watercolor crayons with a blender pen from Stampin Up to color it in. It is then cut out and mounted with a stampin dimensional. Thanks for looking :)



Card Recipe: Groovy Guava, Whisper white CS, Ginger Blossoms DSP, Watercolor paper, Spiral punch, Tab punch and Blender pen. All items are from Stampin Up!
