Sharing my Love for Stampin', Scrappin', and anything Paper!
Hi Stampers! Hope you all had a wonderful Friday!
Thought I would post real quick. I got super busy today getting ready for my Open House/ Customer Appreciation Event tomorrow. Took longer then I thought.
But wanted to show you a quick teaser card. I know isn't that bad? I finally got out my Letterpress and am loving it.
Thanks for stopping by will share the whole card tomorrow.
Happy Stampin',

As mentioned earlier I would be back with another card share. Though I was going to share another Leadership Swap, I had another card in my head and had to make it. It is using the Filled with Love Set, which today is the last day to get it. Don't have this set yet click on the Promo Link and you'll be directed to that information. If not email/call me with your order and I'd be happy to place it for you. It's a great bundle.
I really LOVE the new DSP Love Impressions from the Occassions mini catalog. Colors are just awesome!
Ok, I should go and fix dinner now. Until tomorrow thanks for stopping by and
Happy Stampin',

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!
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.

This was the gift I gave to my Son's Kindergarten Teacher! I hope she liked it! I've made this box before but I changed up the measurements to the bottom of the box.
Again this idea came from "Margaret Gruse". It was a Make 'n' Take I went to! Super easy box. I am taking photos to post a little later or early tomorrow morning so you can see where I cut the bottom of the box. So stay tuned!
Here goes the recipe:
Stamp Set: I {Heart} Heart set, Holiday Best (Hostess set)
Card Stock: Real Red, Whisper White, Brushed Silver
Ink: Real Red, Silver Encore
Accessories: Silver eyelets, White Organza Ribbon, Dazzling Diamond Glitter, Dimensionals
Measurements: Lid & Box both measure
8 1/2 x 5 1/2
Score the Lid at 3 1/2 and at 5
Score the Box on the 5 1/2 inch side at 1 3/8 and 4 1/8
Score the 8 1/2 inch side at 2 and 6 1/2

The inside of the box is pretty big and holds a "generous" amount of choclates. This was just for the photo I ended up putting the Peanut Butter Hearts in there about 6 or 8 fit maybe more. YUMMY! LOL!
Any questions please don't hesitate to ask!
Happy Wednesday All! Well I was going through many of my "cards" this past weekend and found this one and just had to re-create it.
It was a card that was done 5/6yrs ago by "Margaret Gruse" she was the 1st Demo I met. I'm not sure what the card was called..but I called it the "Explosion Card". ; ) I Loved the Night of Navy and Silver she used and so I kept the color and the Lay-out the same. Next photo is the inside of it. Isn't it to cool???
LOVE this card! Now I was going to try and do a photo tutorial but I think it would be way to many photos but I'll try if not I'll for sure do a video.
Supplies used:
Stamp set: *I {Heart} Hearts, Well Scripted
Ink: Night of Navy, Silver Encore
Cardstock: Night of Navy, Whisper White
*$2 from every I {Heart} Hearts stamp set sold will be donated to the American Red Cross' Haiti Relief Fund.
Order a set from your Demonstrator today. If you don't have a Demonstrator contact me or click on my link to the right to order your set.
Here is another version. This if the way the Original Card was done and it opens the same way.
As always thanks for stopping by. Will have some more samples tomorrow. If you have any quesitons at all please don't hesitate to contact me. Email: yvonne@yvonnesstampingplace.com or phone: (760) 597-0020
Have a great day and Happy Stampin',

Hope you are all having a Wonderful Day! This is what I got yesterday from Hubby! I was actually surprised! Mini Roses and they smell wonderful!
We are going to Dinner tomorrow. I didn't really feel like being around crowds today!
I also wanted to share the rest of my Valentines Goodies that I made for my Daughter and her friends…I was on a roll. I LOVE making treat holders. One might say I'm a bit obsessed maybe??? : ) NAH…Ok maybe…BUT I know that I am not alone out there. ; )
This Idea I got from Angie Kennedy – Talk about CUTE, Simple and EASY! My Kind of Treat Holder.
My Daughters Girlfriend LOVED them. I also made some other holders but these were the majority.
Big Shot Scallop Die was Used for this.
I LOVED this one too! This is using the Petal Card Die. How fun is this!!! I actually used Chocolate chip, then used DSP and put it on top. I saw this in Stampin' Up! Catty and also on Dawn Griffith's Blog with a Video Tutorial. LOTS of fun to make.
LOVE that Die! All the things you can do with it!
Ok, this is the LAST one I promise. This cute box is using the new Bigz XL Scallop Box Die. I'll have more on this little box. Hubby is waiting for me to watch a Movie. Our son is down, our daughter is at the movies so we have quiet time.
I'll have more to share tomorrow. As always thanks for stopping by. Any questions please let me know.
Happy Stampin',
