I'm back! Crossing my fingers that all goes well with my son in school! So far so good. For those who are on my Newsletter, you have already read about it. But my son was home sick just about everyday except for Wednesdsay (i was feeling ill myself that day). Thursday he woke up sick yet again! Friday there was no school, but again he had a fever when he went to bed on Saturday night! UGH! Talk about frustrating, so we ended up taking him to the Dr.s yet again! BUT all is much better, just bad allergies and a bug that keeps coming and going.  Let's just say that yesterday I could tell by the afternoon that he was much better with his energy level up and Oh, the talking???? Caramba, he is much better! LOL!

Flamingo Love Card Well I wanted to share some of my swaps that I made for Leadership!  I have a Valentine's Day one and a little later will share a few  more. I know 2 posts in 1 day watch out.  I will be sharing LOTS of stuff this week!  Thanks for your patience and for those who emailed me about my son THANK YOU!!! I truly appreciate your concern more then you'll ever know.

Holiday Invitations

Author: January 11, 2011 0 Comments

Good Moring all! Today I wanted to share with you the Christmas invites that I made.  They were fun to make and I just love the color combo. Talk about feeling like Christmas? This will be the last Christmas thing I share. I know I need to move on.  I'll have more to share next week when I get home from Nashville I'm sure. 

Christmas Party Invites Everything used to make these cards was retired. You can easily adapt to any type of invitation.

Below  you'll see where the information went. This was a post card style invite. I got 4 out of 1 sheet of cardstock. Not bad huh?

I wish you could see the glitter on this a little bit better. I really miss Close to Cocoa. ; )

Well I won't promise anything but I will try to post from Leadership! If not you'll hear from me when I get home.

Christmas Party Invites Inside

Thanks for stopping by and if you have any questions please don't  hesistate to email me.

Happy New Year!

Author: January 5, 2011 0 Comments

I sure hope you all had a Wonderful and Safe New Year!  Mine was great. I think I mentioned in a previous post that my son was sick. Well after Christmas his cough/cold just wouldn't go away so again he was taken to the Dr.s and  all was good lungs clear, etc.. just a bad Sinus Infection. I get worried because he's gotten pneumonia/bronchitis (spelling ???) so I know he will/can get it again.  So that on top of the rain down here in California and NO School, it's been alot of Mommy and son bonding. BUT he is doing great and back in school. No I am not excited about that! LOL!  Oh, and putting Xmas decorations away too. (almost done with that)

I wanted to share a super cute Holiday Packing Idea that I got from another Demonstrator.  I will post again a little later with that!

Holiday Candy Packaging inside Here is a little teaser of the inside of it! I know bad huh?  Will show the rest a little later. My son gets off school early today and have a few things I need to get done.

 Thanks for stopping by and Happy Stampin',

Penguin Treat Favors

Author: December 22, 2010 2 Comments

Penguin trio favor Good Morning all!  Ok so I have another CUTE & EASY party favor.  How cute are these penguins? LOVE them!

Got this idea from another Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Carla Reisenauer. I saw them on a card she made which she shared on "Stampin Connection".  A site for SU Demonstrators.  So I had these Ghiradelli Chocolates, I know it seems like I have an endless supply huh? I LOVE them!

So what I did was:

Penguin favor 1. Wrapped Real Red cardstock around them. Size is 1 3/4 x 4 1/2 and it fits perfectly.

2. I punched out the Penguin using the Owl Punch. Trimmed the ears off.

3. The wings are the small oval punch. You only need 1 oval piece. Cut it in half and place on each side.

4.  How did I get the orange feet?  All I did was take Pumpkin pie and punched out the bottom of the owl and attached it to the back of the main piece. 

5. Then popped him up with Dimensionals onto the Scallop Circle piece.  That is it!

 Ok, now wouldn't he look adorable holding a sign of some sort? HMMM..my brain is on overdrive! LOL!! Hope you enjoyed and thanks for stopping by.

Happy Stampin',

Treats for Christmas

Author: December 21, 2010 1 Comment

Christmas Treat FavorsGood Evening All!  It's been pouring all day here in Cali! YUCK! It doesn't let up!

I wanted to share real quick project with you all.  These are the little treat bags I was talking about that I made for my son's class. 

I just added a topper using the Top Note Die from Stampin' Up!, the Perfect Punches stamp set and the Decorative Label Punch. Inside I put a large Candy Cane, Pencil, kisses, mini hersheys, and the treat  holders that I shared yesteday.

The kids LOVED them!  I can't believe I forgot to take a picture of the Teachers Gift I made.  I was going crazy looking for it and then realized I never took a photo.  Guess I'll have to re-create that one huh?  Sounds like a plan!  Thank you for stopping by and check back tomorrow for yet another project.

Happy Stampin,

But wanted to post this really quick. These were super fun and easy to make using "The Big Shot" and Stampin' Up!s Two Tags Bigz Die. Talk about easy? Oh yeah, and no sticky strip! What? I know huh.  If you have any questions please let me know.
