Sharing my Love for Stampin', Scrappin', and anything Paper!
I just loved Convention this year as I do every year! I love the vibe, the swaps, the friends I get to see that live far away! Here is the new Convention over the shoulder bag. I just love it and some swaps that I got from others!
Thanks for stopping by and Happy Stampin'! Yvonne Metz
Hi Stampers!
Well here is my last swap from Convention! I love how this turned out and this is yet again another new stamp set that I just LOVE! It's called "Flower Patch" #134207 it's a photo polymer set which I'm getting used to using. I love how they are completely see through!
Of course I had to top off this card with Dazzling Diamond glitter and just a little more bling with a couple of Rhinestones in the middle of the flowers just to give it that extra touch!
Enjoy your Saturday stamp something! Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Stampers! Well it's back to school for my son! He's not to excited but he's surviving his first week back! It's already Friday so this week just flew by!
Well I had a super busy summer after Convention. Lot's going on, baseball, camps for my son and a super nice vacation to see my daughter back in Tennessee! That was fun. Plus I had another project I was working on which you can see HERE!
Now it's time to buckle down and get back to blogging, stamping and sharing it all with you! So many new products to share I just love this new Catalog!
First up I'm going to share my swap cards and then in the next few days I'll show you some of the awesome swaps I got at Convention and some great highlights! To see the latest promotions from Stampin' Up! Click HERE!
This was one of my card swaps for Convention! I just love how this turned out. This color combo just worked together don't you think?
This is a new set called "Something for Baby" #134030 clear mount set. It also has a Framelit set to match!
I just love how Stampin' Up! bundles up the product so you save money!
Next is the "Just for you" card which was another swap and yes another new stamp set!
The set used here is called "Work of Art" #134111 wood set. You will see me using this set TONS! The possiblities are endless!
I have one more swap card that I'll share with you tomorrow!
Have a super Friday and as always…..

As promised a Card! Yeah! It is another I made with my “Stash”. I had the main focal point just staring at me for a few days before I came up with this.
I love the Pool Party embossed with the Chevron Folder! Ok, I have to admit that piece was lying around too! It was from another card and it just fit perfectly for this card. So glad Pool Party is staying! LOVE this color!
I used my blender pens to color the flowers. You can use this card for just about any occasion. It would make a great Mother’s Day card or even a Thinking of you!
As always if you have any questions let me know and thanks for stopping by….

Hi Stampers! Thank goodness for the weekend! This week just flew on bye! Before I called it a night I wanted to share one of my cards that I put together with things I had lying around in a little bin or two. My goal is to use it all up! I tend to over make things sometimes either from cutting to much for a party or class and the pieces just don’t get used. Well they’re piling up now and I need to use them up! Here’s my 1st card.
I found the Ice Cream Cone from the Stampin’ Up! set Mouthwatering just begging to be put on a card! ; ) I used Whisper White, Soft Suede, Pool Party & Calypso Coral cardstock with Calypso Coral & Soft Suede ink. Added a touch of Glitter on the ice cream just to give it an extra Umph! Well off to catch some well needed Z’sss. Thanks for stopping by and as always thank you for stopping by and….

One more post before I get to sleep! Our Stampin' Success catalog that we get every other month had this Awesome Technique in it! Reverse Masking! I know it's not a new Technique but for those just starting out it is! So let's go "Old School" LOL!
Butterfly Thank you
All supplies used for this card are Stampin' Up!
Don't you just love that little bit of Bling? I really liked how this turned out.
I will show you another card tomorrow with the same image just "Stepped-Up". I will list all the supplies on tomorrow's post!
Have a great night, thanks for popping in and…

Before signing off for the evening I wanted to share another swap I got from Leadership. It's from Marlene Salvato. I shared a couple other swaps from her which you can see on this post HERE. I love how Sweet and Simple yet Elegant this card looks!
I tried to get the best picture but was having difficulties!
It's Whisper White Background with Whisper White Layer embossed with the new Cloudy Day embossing folder #127022 and Stampin' Up!s New stamp set called Rain or Shine #126-775 (w) or 126-777 (c) which can be found in the Spring Catalog and available til May 31st, 2013.
Well I plan on playing around this weekend! I've got lots of scraps laying around in neat piles and I really need to do something with them. That is one of my resolutions this year. Use up the images, scraps and what not I've got. Check back on Sunday to see what I've done! Thanks for stopping by and as always…
Happy Stampin'
