Stampin in Phoenix!!!

2010-02-09T20:57:00.000-08:00

Two days in a row!!! WATCH OUT! heeheee! This January I was lucky enough to be able to go to Phoenix, Arizona to attend the Stampin Up Regional. I was so excited to meet the people whose blogs I read everyday and to learn all kinds of new stuff and to see swaps and ideas!

You should have heard the screams when I saw these beautiful ladies! You would have thought we all won the lotto!!! Left is Dana , middle Me and right is Lydia . These girls are fun and outta control and I was lucky enough to spend the whole day with them!!!

This is the card I made and was passing out as my swap card. All supplies are Stampin UP!!! I had a blast! Since I've became a SU demo I have had the opportunity to meet the bestest, nicest people imaginable. If you want to have fun stamping and making friends and earning $$$ at the same time, contact me and let's talk about you selling SU and having a blast too!!!

Valentine's for Ronald McDonald House . . .

2010-02-08T18:06:00.000-08:00

Hi and Happy 2010!!! I know it's been a long time, but I'm going to REALLY try to snap out of being a bad blogger!

I can't believe it's already nearing Valentine's Day, which means it's also time for more projects to donate to the Ronald McDonald House. These candy bag holders were super easy and I got the instructions to make them from Splitcoaststampers Resource section. I used the new cling stamps from Stampin Up, Love Bandit. If you haven't ordered yours, click on my sidebar and do it now!!! YOU SO WILL LOVE THESE CLING STAMPS!!!

Please come back tomorrow, I've been working in the stamp lab and I have new stuff to post!!! Have a great night!!!

Ronald McDonald House . . .

2009-10-26T21:01:00.000-07:00

It's that time of the year again. . . . Time where we make crafty things and donate them to our local Ronald McDonald house for the families that are staying there during the holiday season.

This year I was inspired by the book, Twilight. I'm a major Twilight freak right now, so I thought these little vampire boxes were appropriate :D

I left the gummy lips in their plastic so that they can be ripped off and eaten (and they sure are yummy)! The back of the vampire is an origami box (directions from SCS) and it is perfect size for a YUMMY popcorn ball! Eyes and nose, various SU punches. I can not take credit for the idea. I cased it from the Sept. 24, 2009 post found here .

Have a great night! xoxoxo

Christmas Stamp a Stack #1

2009-10-19T18:44:00.000-07:00

My Blog . . . I have been debating whether to break up with my blog or not. I spend SOOOO much time reading and enjoying other people's blogs that I get lazy when it comes to my own. I finally decided (with some nudging from my twitter friends) to give blogging one more try . . . so here we go . . .
This last Saturday I hosted a Christmas Stamp a Stack class. This is the first of two classes. Here are just some of the cards we worked on that day. We had a blast!!!

Welcome to the First Annual Bacon Blog

2009-08-16T07:48:00.000-07:00

Good Morning and welcome to the First Annual Bacon Blog. How did this Bacon Blog come about you ask? Well, it all started on Twitter. A group of friends with the love of bacon (and other things) started talking and talking and waala! The First Annual Bacon Blog was born.

Have you ever tried Chocolate Covered Bacon? Just recently the County Fair was in town and they were serving . . .

Unfortunately, taking this picture was the closest I could come to eating chocolate covered bacon! YUCK!

In honor of bacon, here is my card for today . . .

Please hop on over to Dreena Guptil's blog for your next stop, and if you want to go to the top of the hop, start with Leslie at Crooked Stamper!

Happy Bacon Trails!

Hello Kitty Cute Box . . .

2009-07-16T20:56:00.000-07:00

Hello Everybody!!! Today's project is a box that I learned how to make by reading Joy's blog. Her blog is AWESOME and has great ideas and tutorials :)

The Hello Kitty's on the belly band were made by Sizzix, and the punches used were by Marvy Uchida.

Today I took a class given by Lydia from Understand Blue, you can see her blog on my sidebar. This webinar was great and she taught me how to give my blog a face lift! I will be working on that this weekend :)

Hello Kitty Bookmarks . . .

2009-07-12T22:15:00.000-07:00

One of the AWESOME benefits about being a demonstrator for Stampin Up, is that once a month we are sent a mini magazine called, Stampin Success. In there are great tips and inspirational stories to get us motivated. In July's issue they showed how to make these great and easy bookmarkers!!! I LOVE TO READ and I have a lot of friends that love to read also, so these are lil gifts for co-workers :)
The Hello Kitty is by Sizzix. To make this cute and easy bookmark cut a cardstock 5x5". Fold your square in half horizontally and once vertically so that you have 4 squares. Cut away one corner square. Fold the two remaining "arms" down and glue! Decorate as you wish!!! Just remember these are corner bookmarkers so when you go to decorate, decorate on the right side :) If anyone is interested in joining my Stampin Up team, please contact me, there is a special on the starter kit coming up July 15th!!!
Have a great night!

My 10 minute card . . .

2009-07-08T21:49:00.000-07:00

Hope everybody had a great 4th of July holiday!

Today I needed a card for a dear friend and I only had 10 minutes to get it ready. So here it is. A little on the plain side, but I likie!!! The stamp set is called Love Your Face by Daisy Bucket Designs.

When it was time to color my lil monster, I was inspired by a few blogs to color it whatever color I WANTED. So instead of traditional grey for a monster, I picked pink, because I love pink and I love the way it came out!!!! :0) Enjoy the rest of your nite!!!

Just Jawing Pizza Box

2009-06-16T22:01:00.000-07:00

This is a pizza box, directions I got from Splitcoaststampers and they were easy to follow.

I made a bunch of these in Close to Coco DS paper (Not with the skull) for Father's Day for the Ronald McDonald House BUT, I forgot to take a picture before I dropped them off!!! :-(
Inside was big enough to hold a deck of cards and 2 chocolate nuggets (also decorated with DS paper).
This box is made with Just Jawing stamp set and chunky glitter (my favorite)! Thanks 4 looking!

Cookie Monster Bday Card . . . .

2009-06-14T15:15:00.000-07:00

This is the birthday card that I made all out of SU punches!!! I used the Big Shot Scallop Circle for the face. I hooked them together with a tiny brad that is hidden under this eyes. I used 1 3/4 punch for the white of the eyes and 1 inch circle punch for the black of the eyes. For his mouth I used my circle Coluzzle to cut out a circle and then cut in half. EASY PESY!!!!

Seseme Street Invites for a cutie!

The second picture is Origami boxes that I made for the children at the Ronald McDonald House. I made the box out of SU designer paper and attached a handle with brads.

Swaps and more swaps . . .

2009-03-08T11:18:00.000-07:00

I had to make two different cards for a swap that I was participating in. And of course, I wait till the last minute :)

The first card is Anya Angel (from the Greeting Farm) which I used lots of Stickles on. They are sooooo pretty up close.

The second card is Just Jawing by SU. I used chunky glitter (I love me some glitter)!!!

Have a great Sunday! I'm off the the ballet to see The Lil Mermaid with my grannie :)

More Kitty's . . .

2009-02-21T17:37:00.001-08:00

Here are some more Hello Kitty's that I made. The pail is for a guy at work that is selling chocolates for his daughter. We all keep paying him in change and I thought I would make this to put all the $$$ in. I used the Big Shot for this and around the tiara I used pink stickles. I'm sooo sad that you can't see all the sparkely in the picture :( It came out a little on the plain side for me, after I gave it to him, I thought that I could've used more ribbons on the handles. The second Hello Kitty is a card I made with the Cricut for a birthday party we went to. I'm still learning how to use the Cricut, so I cut off her bow on accident :) ooops! And since I always do

things at the last minute, I had to cover the ooopss with a flower and bling! Dang, and now that I look at the picture, one of the ears is more black than white!!!!! OMGosh, good thing the little girl turned 5 and isn't gonna notice all this! LOL!!!!!

Valentine's for the girls . . .

2009-02-17T19:16:00.001-08:00

These are the lip balm holders I made for the girls at work, and the 3 girls that work at my favorite breakfest spot, and my girl who does my eyebrows, and anyone else who crossed my path that day!
They are a little on the plain side, but I did soooo many, it was okay. I used the XL purse die in the big shot. And a skull stamp from a set called Love Struck by Pink Paislee. And lip balm by Avon :)

Hello There . . .

2009-02-12T16:54:00.000-08:00

I'm sorry I've been missing in action. I have had no creative mojo lately :( But it's coming back slowly. :)
The Hello Kitty tote is one that I CASED from Enjoyli's great blog which you can see here. http://stampingunderthesun.blogspot.com/
I used pink glitter paper around the wings which is really hard to see in the picture.
The Ghirardelli's candy boxes are for the Ronald McDonald House and the pattern I got from Splitcoaststampers. I used a retired SU stamp set that I couldn't part with called "Olive You." My great hubby glued on all the googly eyes for me :)

I'm finishing up on some Valentine treats for the girls at work, which I will get a picture loaded on the blog this weekend.
Have a great nite! I'm sooooo happy to be back!

Cut off all 4 corners.

LID: 8 x 8. Score 2 inches from all four sides.
Hope you have fun making these cute boxes!

See all the Snowmen . . .

2008-12-08T22:53:00.000-08:00

Being a Stampin Up demonstrator, gives me the great opportunity to volunteer at my local Ronald McDonald House. These cute little snowmen is what I made to send to them. They were made using my Big Shot and the Top Notes die. Circle punch for eyes and I cut orange cardstock for his nose.
I've been on a crafting roll lately, so please stop bye 2morrow and see what I have to post!

Gift Card Holders . . . .

2008-11-25T21:55:00.000-08:00

Gift card holders in under 10 minutes? HUH? That's right!!!! I just love my Scor-Pal. I found the directions on how to make these gift card holders at http://blog.ginakdesigns.com/
Scroll to the November 11, 2008, post and you will find the directions for the purse gift card holder. Scroll down a little further and there are directions for the regular card holder.
I decorated the inside with SU double sided paper and for the middle part that holds the actual gift card, I punched this section with my SU square punch! They outside of the holders were made out of Stampin Up's "IN" colors. The skull is a stamp set called Spooky Nightmare from Lil

Davis Designs/Fiskars. The stamp set on the red holder is a Christmas set that I picked up at Walmart for $2.49! Can't beat that price! :)

I just got done watching Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving! I LOVE THIS SEASON!!!!!!

Have a great nite and see ya'll 2morrow!!!!

Invites for a slumber party . . .

2008-11-04T21:43:00.000-08:00

When the little girl across the street walked over and asked me to make her slumber party invites, there was NO WAY, I was going to tell her no!!! For a 6 year old she had her color scheme picked out and everything! Her colors were all pink and brown, so the first sample I showed them, they were in love. I used brown and I know it's hard to see in the picture of the inside of the sleeping bag is pink polka dots. I used the sleeping bag from the Under the Stars set. The Hello Kitty backpack was a little something that I made for her with the little items that I thought I was gonna stick in there, but it wasn't as big as I thought! :)

Have a great nite!

Happy Halloween!

2008-10-31T07:16:00.000-07:00

Good Morning Everyone and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!! Yes, I've been quite in blogland, but I've been busy!!! There are the goodies I made for everybody at work! Hello Kitty meets the Frankies? HUH? :)

HAVE A SAFE AND FUN NITE!!!!

My Attempt at Artwork . . .

2008-10-24T22:54:00.000-07:00

Okay, the card is made for me by my friend Yolanda. I LOVE IT! She gave it to me the nite we took this class :)

The other two pieces are thin metal that we could either freehand or trace on image on. I didn't color mine, but I really like the way it came out! Taking a picture os these was really hard. The bottom image is of a married couple.

Have a great nite!

Look What I did . . .

2008-10-23T21:40:00.000-07:00

Today I took a "Day of the Dead" art class with this man . . .

Who is this man? Well, I'm glad you asked, let me tell you . . .

His name is Daniel Martinez. He is an Artist & Teacher, and a nice,

smart man who is printed in 4th grade history books! I enjoyed taking his class. He started off by telling us about the history of the Day of the Dead celebration. We got to watch videos, browse through some AWESOME books, paint and create, we got to eat tamales, sweet bread, chips, dips and tequila. It was a GREAT time!!!

What did I create? Well let me show you SOME of my stuff.

Our first project was an alter. We made this alter out of cigar boxes and we had to think of someone that passed away and put things in our boxes that represented them. I, of course did mines in honour of my NANA.

Okay, the uploading of these pictures is NOT cooperating with me right now, so I'll give you a teaser! These are only two pictures, rest to follow 2morrow! :)

I picked this picture for the outside of my box because my Nana was part of the Red Hat Society.

This picture is of the inside lid of my box. The marachi's are because she LOVED music. Loved to dance, loved to sing, she LOVED Selena. :) I outlined the picture in beans. Why? BECAUSE SHE MADE THE BEST DARNED BEANS IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!! And that's no lie! :) The inside of the box will be posted 2morrow! Sorry. :) Till then, have a good nite! I'm glad to be back, sorry for the long post!

I'm Off . . .

2008-10-10T17:33:00.000-07:00

2008-10-03T06:41:00.000-07:00

Good Morning blog friends! I love the start of the weekend :)

Today's technique I tried came from Splitcoaststampers (which you can find on my sidebar). It was called a Baby Wipe technique. I love the way the backgrounds came out and to think all you need is a few baby wipes, glossy paper and re-inkers!!! Head on over there and go to Resources, where you will find so many tutorials you won't know which one to try first!!! :)

Have a good Friday!!!

2nd Tutorial . . . . . .

2008-10-02T06:54:00.000-07:00

LOVE IT! Please go by and check out her blog, it's listed on my sidebar. Her blog is awesome!

Following Tutorials . . .

2008-10-01T06:30:00.000-07:00

Good Morning! This week I decided I'm going to follow tutorials of some of my favorite blogs and see how easy the project is to do. So here is my first one. I made Mr. & Mrs. Frankie Stien. The were soooooo easy! I followed Cambria's instructions and stared at the picture for a minute of the blog she linked to and this project went pretty quick! I did realize when I was done that I forgot to ink up a sponge and shade around their faces in some areas. But they'll live! :)
The best part was I got to use my Big Shot! The instructions for this card can be found on Cambria's blog. Please click my sidebar and go visit her blog, It's called Stamp a Little Love Baby. Have a great day! See you 2morrow with another tutorial that I decide to try! :)

Okay, on to my post. This is a Mummy bag made out of a white lunch bag. I got the Tearing Edge by SU and made strips of white cardstock which I sponged with carmel ink. I used SU punches to make his eyes and the sentiment is made with SU Chills & Thrills Rub-Ons.

Stamping in the Park . .

2008-09-24T21:40:00.000-07:00

Every Wednesday I get together with an AWESOME group of ladies and stamp at the local park for 2 hours. It's an 8 week class, that flys by WAY to fast! Tonite was the last class, and we have a little tradition on the last day, we all bring a junk food item and swap with each other! It's a fun nite, I never know what I love best, the food, the swaps or the class! :0) These were the swaps I did to pass out to

the girls! I used the new stamps from The Cat's Pajamas. All paper is SU. I used the Marvy Ucida big scallop punch and the white circle was cut with Colluzle. The embossing was done with a Cuttlebug folder in my new SU Big Shot! I've started with all my Halloween cards, so stop by 2morrow . . . Have a good nite!

This is . . .

2008-09-22T22:45:00.000-07:00

The parking area at my work. The empty spot next the the grass is where I was parked. After lunch I was getting out of my truck and turned and yes folks you guessed it, gracefully fell into that hole in the grass!!! Some man walking by sd, "OMG, ma'am are you okay?" I was soooo embarassed I got up and brushed the grass off my pants and evaluated my injuries inside the privacy of my cubicle :) I now have a bruise on my other elbow!!!!!!! YES, I NEED A BUBBLE!!!

hee hee! It's Monday!

I've been working very hard on swaps that I need for Wednesday nite and Sunday! I will be posting them really soon! Have a good nite!

The Fair . . .

2008-09-19T07:14:00.000-07:00

Good Morning everyone! Happy Friday!
The hubby and I got to sneak away to the fair! I LOVE THE FAIR! All the junk food, and sellers :0) It was great!
I found a guy there that BEDAZZLES!!!!!!!!!! EVERYONE KNOWS I LOVE BLING! I got two shirts. One a Stampin Up one and the other a Hello Kitty! (which I will be wearing today)! The card is a card I made at the fair! (Imagine that, going somewhere I love and making things I love, yes I was in heaven)! hee hee.
Have a great weekend, I'll be back 2morrow!

More Stand Up Cards . . .

2008-09-18T07:20:00.001-07:00

Okay, so I'm addicted to making these stand up pop up cards because their sooooo easy! But I promise this is the last post of these type of cards. (for now) :0)

Have a great day!

Sorry for the lack of posting, arm has been bothering me, but I have another card to post already for 2morrow!

Standing Pop Up Card . . .

2008-09-14T19:53:00.000-07:00

These are standing pop up cards? Okay that sounds good! They are easy to make and yes they fold down flat to fit in the envelope. The base is a solid color, 4 1/4 x 11. Score at 1, 2 3/4, 3 3/4, 5 1/2, 7 1/4, 8 1/4 and 10. Once it's all scored, fold in half and make a slit in the center big enough for your tag part. The standing part, solid color is 2 3/4 x 5 1/4. And the white part that you stamp your image is 2 1/2 x 5. Give it a try and have fun!

A RAK from Pat

2008-09-14T19:40:00.000-07:00

So when I was at the Scrapbook Expo I picked up this die to use with my new Big Shot! This CD holder was made following the directions from SCS. I used SU paper and SU glitter!!!! A small piece of velcro holds my CD holder shut. (Adrienne please close your eyes or act surprised. LOL)! 2morrow my baby starts Jr. High (agh)! He told me today that I can't call him Daddybear no more and that he is a pre-teen (he said this as he was playing with his wrestlers) :0( They grow so fast!
Have a great day!

I REALLY, need to stop stamping LATE at nite! I didn't realize till I was looking at the picture (and I had already given the bag to grams) that I glued the darn butterfly's on the back of the bag! LOL! I'm a dork! I'm off to take my son to new Jr. High orientation :0( (my baby is growing up), then to the camera dr., then to work :0( (oh girls, and you know who you are, I copied the pictures for convention for you before the camera went caput! Check out in your mail)!!!!!!!!!

Flight of the Butterfly

2008-08-26T07:48:00.000-07:00

Please excuse the dark pictures! My camera is feeling as bad as I am! So I had to take these pictures with my cell phone! I was feeling under the wheather yesterday and then went to Walmart to buy medication and witnessed a horrible motorcycle accident which made my day even worse! Grandma needed a butterfly Thank You
card so I attempted to stamp while not feeling while, and I'm not very happy with the results! This is a spiral card that they showed us at convention and last nite I attempted to do one. I will try this technique again, but this time I was
:0( about the way it came out!

Lookie, Lookie . . . .

2008-08-22T06:38:00.000-07:00

Look at these $1 stamps that I picked up at Michaels!!!! I just had to have the skull!!!
This other stamp set is the one I got in the mail the other day, and I WILL ink it up this weekend!!!! I have many ideas for this one! It's called, Garden Isle by Lizze Ann Designs. Have a good Friday everyone! Off to work :0( My arm is feeling
much better! I can move it more! Can't bend it that good, but it moves now! :0)

Happy Friday!!!

2008-08-22T06:34:00.000-07:00

I know you guys are tired of seeing a picture of these candy flowers, BUT, there is a story behind THESE flowers and card. My good 'ol hubby comes home from work and asks me if I can make some of those flowers candies in a vase and a Thank You card. I said, "okay," for who? He said his bosses wife. Okay why? Oh because she always makes US homemade cookies. HUH? US? How come they never make it home to me? My hubby, "Oh, cuz I know you don't like that kind." (okay Mr. Diabetic, you go boy)!!!!!!!

I LOVE cards . . .

2008-08-21T07:25:00.000-07:00

I just LOVE IT when I receive an unexpected card!!! My good friend Cindy made me this card last nite and it brought a great smile to my face! She's so thoughtful and knows me soooo well! I LOVE the skull notebook for my purse (so me)! When I was opening my gift, my husband sd, "I hope she got you bike reflectors (he's got jokes, when he was the cause of my accident!hmmmm)! THANK YOU CINDY! I LOVE MY CARD!!!!

Update . . .

2008-08-20T12:20:00.000-07:00

All nite last nite, I LMAO over my fall, but this morning, I no laughing no more! I was crying, I couldn't move my right arm and when I did I cried in pain (and I can take a lot of pain)! So i just came back from my Dr. office and the verdict is . . . torn ligament in shoulder, bruised elbow, fever, neck trauma and I got a shot in my booty! :0( THIS WILL NOT STOP ME FROM STAMPING! It stopped me from going to work, but I am determined to stamp tonite, I don't know how well my coloring skills will be, but I will attempt, because I am determined to blog A CARD DAILY! BE BACK LATER WITH A CARD! Even if it kills me . . . literally! LOL

I'm injured and still stamping!

2008-08-19T22:20:00.000-07:00

I'm injured wrists hurt so this will be short and sweet! The first card is a card that I sent my hubby while I was away at convention! I used all SU supplies.
The second card is a card I just made that says Tickled Pink, it is a SU set, but I think a retired SAB set.
Now about my injury, you have to PROMISE not to laugh!
Today I got this brain-e-ack idea to ride my bike to my dad's house (he lives around the corner), as I was taking off my loving husband yells out to me and as I turned my head, I flipped over the handle bars of my bike! He saw this and still asked, "What are you doing down there." I sd, I'm checking the neigbors lawn $%$^&*##@ !!!!!
Agh, hello, he just saw me flip over! He still doesn't run over to help me up! Two differenet neighbors were outside watering their lawns, so I jump on my bike and raced to my dads where I sat and examined my injuries. I scrapped all the skin off one knee, both my elbows and i guess when I fell I flipped back both my wrists. I got no sympathy from my dad, he said, "you were probably talking on your cell and riding your bike at the same time," I sd, "no dad, then I'd be crying cuz I have a brand new cell phone!" Did I forget to mention that all this happened while I was dressed in my hello kitty pj's and brand new slippers? hee hee! I'll live, I'm already sore (and it just happened 2 hrs ago), but I think I'll be okay!

Hope it doesn't effect the stamping I have lined up for 2morrow! I recieved a new stamp set in the mail today, that I'm dying to ink up 2morrow!

I'm here . . .

2008-08-18T22:01:00.000-07:00

I've not fallen off the planet! :0)
Friday, I got a cortisone shot in my foot, my husband took great video, but it's not for the weak!
Sat. we jumped in the truck and took a 4 hr drive (each way) to the river, to hang out with family! And Sunday, we slept in, went out to breakfest and then at nite, went to the happiest place on earth, yes Disneyland!!!! We went on the new 4D Toy Story ride, and to my delight, the wait in line was only 35 minutes (not bad for it being a new ride), unfortunately, the ride hurt my shoulder! You have to shoot at the targets, but to get your gun to shoot, you have to pull a string. AND IT KILLED MY ARM!!! So today I'm resting from my weekend! :0) I did get time to stamp after work today and I will be posting my card 2morrow. Happy Stamping, see you'll 2morrow!

Sock Monkey . . .

2008-08-14T07:20:00.000-07:00

2008-08-13T06:31:00.001-07:00

I posted this picture just to gross Juanita out! She can't understand my OBSESSION with my UPS man, I just wanted to show her that I'm not the only person who loves their UPS man! hee hee!!!! LOL

Okay Juanita, this post is just for you!!! First of all, Juanita is my cuzion and we talk ex-least if not more than 10x a day, as we were having our morning chat, I was explaining to her that I used my Crop-A-Dile, for something other than scrapbooking. I used it because I needed to punch more holes in my belt!! YEAH :0) Then she asked, "What is a Crop-A-Dile?" I said, "WHAT" girl, you NEED to start coming back to workshops! How dare you not know what a crop-a-dile is! This tool is used to put eyelets in paper, cardboard, leather on your belt, bonk a burglar over the head with it in the middle of the nite, etc. . . You requested a side picture of the flowers I made for grandma last nite and here it is. Side of flower. I used Reese's Miniature's. The recipe for making these cute flowers is: You make one flower, put one chocolate in your mouth, repeat, make one flower, one in mouth, repeat . . . .

Now this is really scary!!!

I love this card! I totally cased it from SCS, but I'm sooooo bad at names, I forgot to write it down. I'm sorry. This card is Carrie, from Rubber Romance. The inside reads, "A good friend will bail you out of jail, But a true friend will be next to you saying . . . "Damn, that was fun!"

Love it!!!!!!!!! Have a great weekend! I'm gonna try to squeeze in another post later!

I used SU Wonderful You stamp set. Small oval punch for base. Black SU marker for outlining image. 24 gage wire and Crystal Laq. to spray. So Sorry For The BLURRY Picture!!!!!!!!!!!

Trifold Card . . .

2008-04-28T07:20:00.001-07:00

I have made a little mental note (this is the first time I'm saying it out loud) to "TRY" to do all the weekly tutorials on SCS. So I gave this weeks a try. And actually, I LIKED IT! This is the trifold card. I used SU designer paper that I think came from last years catalog as a level 1 hostess set.
Have a great Monday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New favorite type of card . . .

2008-04-24T07:29:00.001-07:00

Okay, this is my new favorite type of card for the moment. :0)

One of the girls at work is throwing a birthday party for her 3 yr old. She is having him a bubble party with a jumper that has a waterslide on it. So she asked me to come up with an idea. And here is what I came up with. She loved it. The paper is from EK sucess, Disney paper, other paper is all SU. YoYO yellow, Brill. Blue. Marvy Scallop and circle punch were used here. Off to work, but tommorow, I promise I will have a different style of card!!!!!! :0)
