Stationery Box

I had a lot of fun during this class. I offered it twice and it was a hit both times. I got the pattern for this box on SCS. I used the 2012 SAB DSP Everyday Enchantment. This would be a great gift for Christmas or Mother's Day or even a Wedding Gift. This gift box contains 4 cards, 4 mini cards, 4 tags, post it note pad and matching pen Stamps: Petite Pairs Ink: Pool Party Paper: Everyday Enchantment DSP, Pool Party, Soft Suede Other: Butterfly Punch, SAB Ribbon, Pool Party Seam Binding Happy Memorial Day Everyone!!

Post it Note Purse

This post it note purse was inspired by a fellow SU demonstrator, I just cannot locate her name at this point in time. I cased the design but used my own colors etc. We made these cute little purses at my last Stamp Club gathering, each person's had their first initial on the front. Stamps: Baroque Motifs(retiring 5/31) Ink: Versa Mark Paper: Island Indigo and Twitterpated DSP Other: Whisper White Ribbon and other embellishments

Happy Birthday Hostess style

This card looks like I stood 100 feet away beore taking the picture.  This was for a friend who almost shares a birthday with my husband.  I struggle with masculine cards that don't use Lovely as a Tree.  I was proud I could get away from that set for this card.  Love that set, just rely on it a lot!

Welcome Back to Me!

Well, it has only been three and one half months since I have posted to my blog...not to shabby  (hanging my head in embarrassment;  I can't say I have not been stampin' because the would be a lie.  I have been averaging two - three classes per month along with my Stamp Club and some card making for local charities.  My craftin' has not stopped...just the posting.  We also had a very sad experience in February, we had to put our 10 year old Bichon Frise Lucy to sleep.  She was our baby girl and we will cherish all of our memories of her forever!  We have since adopted a little boy named Steele.  He is about 5 years old and is the most handsome apricot poodle.  We love him a lot, he chose us, we did not choose him and we could not be happier.  Steele has really helped to lessen the pain we feel from loosing our dear, sweet Lucy.

Well, to the stampin!  Above is a card I made for a dear friends birthday in March.  I was very pleased with how it turned out.

Stamps: Awash with Flowers; On Your Birthday
