Ok, I went to SCS yesterday and new I had to do this New Style of Card! OMG, super Easy and CUTE! NO, I’m not using my "A Good Egg Set" either! LOL! I am using "Live Your Dream" from the Occasions Mini Catty! LOVE this set too! To try this yourself you can go HERE. I did 3 of them today and 1 of them I turned into a purse and put little hersheys in it! HAD to do that! Any questions please don’t hesitate to ask me. Enjoy!
Recipe
Stamp Set: Live your Dream
Ink: I used SU Markers
Paper: Old Olive, Taken with Teal, Rose Red, Vanilla & DSP Bali Breeze
Other: Piercing Tool, Punches, Velcro Dots to secure the flap down.
Ok, now below I’m showing you the same Card turned into a purse : I used all the same colors except I used Pumpkin Pie paper for the Scallop…etc…I just used Ribbon and paper bag which is size 1 and you can get them at Michaels. LOVE this DSP Bali Breeze!
This is an Open View, I put 5 Hershey’s, I didn’t want it to Bulge to much.
Another view but laying flat. I used Sticky Tape to attach the bag.
I am really liking this Color Combo with the Bali Breeze DSP! Dont’ know what took me so long to use it! ; ) Anyway, Thanks for stopping by!

Stampin’ Away in Vista, Ca. – Yvonne Metz
Fabulous Four Stamp Set (2004) New/Unmounted
Soft Subtles – Fancy Fiber (Retired)
P.S. Hope you all had a Happy Easter!
Happy Easter from Vista, Ca.! Ok, so this is going to be really quick since I need to get Easter Dinner going. ; ) On Friday 3/21 I went to the Local Scrapbooking Store (Pink Pineapple) here in Vista, I hadn’t gone in a while! Wanted to post this last night but was way to tired. Anyway, one of the gals that works there (Erin) told us a really sad story about a gal who had lost her 2 yr old son and that it was posted on Lisa Bearnsons Blog, well anyway, we were asked to make cards as she loves getting them. So I made one and it is being sent, if you would like to be a part of this you can check out the story on Lisa Bearnsons Blog. It brought me to tears as I have a 3 1/2 yr old and I can’t even imagine. So anyway, thought I would help get the word out and I know I have TONS of cards and Card Fronts waiting to be used.
Thanks for stopping by and Happy Stampin!

Well I’ve been tagged by 2 stampers Aimee G first then Vicki I am behind as I was tagged last week!
Rules for tagging were to list 7 facts about myself and link to some other blogs to this post.
So here go the random facts:
I have been married to my DH for almost 12 yrs, been together 14.
I am really shy! No wise cracks, I really am. Until you get to know me! Then forget about it!
When I was PG with DD, I craved/Ate Shrimp Cocktail w/lemon juice for 3 weeks straight! (She love Shrimp/Lemon she is 17 now)
I had a hard time conceiving DS, who is 3 1/2, did a total of 10 procedures (5 IVF’s) I know ALOT! Born 6/29/2004!!! TOTAL Miracle Baby!
While I was PG with DS, I gained 60 lbs and Craved Chinese Food all the time!
I’ve got Stamping on the brain 24/7…doesn’t everybody though? ; )
Ok, so that is that! I don’t know many others with blogs, but here are some that inspire me and I would like to share! TONS of great ideas, AWESOME Ladies, there are more but here are 7. Wait, Sharon Field I do know, sorta. : ) We’ve Swapped.
All these sites are wonderful! Of course I have a TON more but hey it’s a start! That’s it for now, as always thanks for stopping by!
