Author: January 24, 2011 0 Comments

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.

Just for you Dress Card

 Good morning!

I sure hope you are all having a wonderful weekend! I'll be heading home tomorrow and so I thought I would share another cute card.

This idea was from a Swap I got from another SU Demo "Terri Dunning" I thought it was just the cutest.

If you would like to "see" how this card was  made "comment" me and let me know.  I could do a quick video for you. Thanks for stopping by.

Have a great day 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,

Let’s just say it was Yummy and Beautiful too!  I would LOVE to know what Top Note Nugget Holder Inside you think!

Good evening all!  What a day today!  I had to get a few things for tomorrow. Oh Boy, I didn’t think I was going to get out of the store alive!

So before I curl up with my yarn and watch some T.V. with the boys I wanted to share these 2 cards that we made at my Fun Folds Class. 

Every month I have different types of folds, or something interactive! LOVE those kinds!  So we did 2 Wiper cards and 2 Z-Fold Cards.  I’m showing you the Thanksgiving Wiper Cards today and will share the other 2 on Friday.

 

Thanksgiving Wiper Card

This is it!  Now the inspirations for this card was one that I saw on Stampin Connection, from a Barbara Welch!

LOVED it as soon as I seen it! She had a really nice Brad in the of the 4 squares.

 

 

 

                                                                                                                                  When you pull the sides of the card your greeting pops up on top! It’s like a Wiper effect!

Scallop Envelope Purse

Author: November 23, 2010 0 Comments

Good Morning all!  Ok, so here is another share I have for you! I have been sooo wanting to make these for the longest.  I saw these everywhere last year and am just now getting around to it. Talk about Easy??? Oh, Yes, SUPER easy!  So let me tell you how it was done. If you'd like a photo tutorial comment me.

Thanksgiving Scallop Envelope Box Supplies used are all Stampin' Up!

Stamp Set(s): Day of Gratitude #120835, Teeny Tiny Wishes #115370
Cardstock: Whisper White, Specialty DSP Autumn Spice (this is YUMMY paper)
Ink:  Old Olive, Basic Black
Accessories:  Old Olive Ribbon 5/8, Dazzling Diamond Glitter, Dimensionals, Word Window Punch, Modern Label punch, Sticky Strip, Big Shot, SU! Bigz Scallop  Envelope # 113462

Basically all you do is cut out 2 of the Envelopes, Trim the bottom about a 1/2 inch or close to that. Then place both bottom pieces together using Sticky Strip and Ta Da, you got yourself a very cute little holder.  Which I do have to say holds 2 Ghiradelli Chocolates nicely inside!   If you still need the visual please don't hesitate to ask. I totally understand!  Also, I will have another post a little later!  Thanks for stopping by!
