Get Well Card

I've been meaning to make a Get Well/Thinking of You card for the past week or so and I keep forgetting. Well, I finally did it tonight. There is a fellow SU! demonstrator (a side-line of mine) who went into the hospital to have a large tumor removed and I wanted to let her know I am thinking of her.

This card is actually semi-cased from Erika Martin. You can view her original card on her blog at http://www.stampinmama.com/. She made her's into a gift card holder, where mine is just a unique-shaped card.

Thanks for looking!!!!!

Bright and Punchy!

Since I spent much of yesterday running errands and taking care of some business, I gave myself time today to play around with my stamps. I saw this color combo somewhere else and thought it was so cheery! Then I loved the idea of layering all the different punches together. The polka dot background from the "So Happy" set was put on using versamark as I thought using Pink Passion ink on the same color paper was too dark for this project. The words I stamped in white craft ink to make it pop! I've got a birthday card in the works, too, using a color combo I saw yesterday at Walmart. Stay tuned.............. Thanks for looking:-)

Welcome Baby Boy!

Wow, it feels like forever since I had time to sit and stamp. This past week has been so busy getting ready for Labor Day weekend. Today I took a day to relax and lay low. Now I'm itching to stamp! There seems to be a baby boom going on so I thought I'd start popping out some baby cards! This card uses the cute "Wild About You" set along with some old designer paper. I love buying the designer paper because it coordinates with all the Stampin' Up! colors and I know I'll eventually use it in scrapbooks or on cards. I have loads of it and I think it adds so much to a project. I also used one of the fun clear buttons with a punched out circle of the designer paper behind it. Hope the recipient likes it! Thanks for looking:-)

Photo Album

This is a mini photo album I made for the girls who attended my daughter's 10th birthday sleepover. I took a bunch a pictures at the party and made copies for all the girls. I bought one of those vinyl photo albums at Walmart and slid out the covers they came with and made my own. Each girl will get one of these with their "Thank You" card from my daughter. I also included a page after the pictures that has each girl's name along with their phone numbers so they can all keep in touch (since they don't all go to school together). Of course I decorated that page, too, to coordinate with the cover!! Hope they all like them!! Thanks for looking:-)

Holiday Mini Swap

This is a card I made for a swap I am participating in for the new Holiday mini catalog. The stamp set is called Love & Joy. I also used some of the beautiful new designer paper. There are so many neat new products to choose from!! Not only brand new stamp sets and wheels, but also wrapping paper ( I LOVE the Blizzard paper!), ribbon, gold and silver elastic cording, On Board Accents (chipboard) and embellishments! If you don't have a copy of the mini, contact me and I'll get you one or check on-line on September 1st here to view all the fun new items. The products in this mini catalog will only be available from September 1st, 2007 thru November 30, 2007.

Doggone Cute!

I LOOOOOOOVE this dog made from the Pick A Petal stamp set!! I saw him on a swap card at a meeting I attended today. I took a picture of the swap and had to come home and use him on this card. My kids are going to a 5-year-old boy's birthday party tomorrow and thought this would be perfect! I have a feeling I'm going to be making him a lot - he's so doggone cute and easy to whip up! Hope you like him, too:-)

Thankssss!

This is a quick and simple "Thank You" I made for my daughter's birthday. She loves snakes and she loves purple! The punched out flowers are from the bouquet flower punch and I doubled them with a white one underneath so I could put some glue and dazzling diamonds in the center for some BLING! Can't really see it in the photo. Added some white gel pen dots in the center of the flowers along the bottom to make them pop out a little more. Off to make a bunch of copies so she can write them out tomorrow!!
