Not just for Valentine's Day

Hi everyone:

I am loving the new Sending my Love DSP in the Occasions Mini.  This paper is beautiful!  I have been using it for quite a bit, including birthday cards. We have had quite a few birthdays over the last couple of weeks.  My sister turned 30 last week and I made a card for her from my husband and I and a card from my boys.  Here is the card I made from my boys to her.

I just love this monkey from the Fox & Friends stamp set.  He is so cute.

3-D Friday

TGIF!!!  It seems to have been a very long week.  Not really sure why, but I am glad it is Friday :)

Today I am showing you a cute home decor project I made the other night.  It was very quick and as soon as I knew exactly what I wanted to use, it took me about 15 mins to assemble.  (If that!)

Adorable right???  How would you like to make one for the 6 major holidays?  At the beginning of March, I will be holding a class where we will make one for Easter, 4th of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas (or Hannukah) and Valentine's Day.  Be on the look out for more information in my February newsletter.

Have a great day!

Last of the Thank You cards

Did you all survive the Monday after the holidays?  Mondays are rough and even rougher after the holidays.  Nothing makes it better, but some stampin'!  Here are the rest of those thank you cards I was talking about.

This one was CASED from Splitcoast. 

This one was CASED from a very talented demo -Mary Fish. Mary has some beautiful work and I couldn't resist making this card.

Have a great day!

Sweet Swap

To help me with my time, I have decided to join a few more swaps in 2010.  Once a month I will make x number of cards, mail them off, and receive that same number of cards back.  This way I can always have new ideas to publish on my blog, share with customers, etc.  This will allow me to balance my life better and concentrate on classes, clubs, workshops, etc.  The first swap I joined for the year was an Occasions Mini Swap.  We had to pick a new stamp set from the mini and design a card. This is the card I chose to make

This is an adorable stamp set with all sorts of cute images.  What is great about this set is that I chose to purchase the clear mount rubber stamps.  This is a new product from SU and it will make storage of your stamps a breeze!  Here is some info on these stamps.

Our new clear-mount rubber stamps are the result of extensive research with the intent to maintain the very best image quality in the stamping industry, while at the same time offering the ease-of-use and storability inherent in repositionable clear-mount rubber stamps.

Clear-Mount Rubber Stamp Features

• Nine different sizes of clear blocks available individually or as a discounted bundle.
• Blocks have ergonomic grooves on all four sides for easy grip and traditional wood-mount feel.
• Stamps and blocks are durable and easy to clean with your Stampin' Scrub and Stampin' Mist.
• Optional image labels on stamp backs let you decide if you want to see the image through the block or not.
• Tight die-cutting for easy image positioning.
• Large clear blocks can be used to create collages or spell words with alphabet sets.
• Stamps store easily in standard, DVD-type cases with artwork on front and spine, making organization easy.

Contact me for more information or to schedule a workshop using these stamps :)

Things to come

Hi everyone:

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and are looking toward the new year.  My family and I had a great holiday and now we are all on vacation until the 4th.  During this time I plan to do a bunch of stuff with the kiddos and plan some new classes for the new year!  One of which you can see posted above- a Happy Heart Class.  This class gives you a jump start on your Valentine Projects.  I will also be having a couple more Valentine's Day classes, including a child's class in which they can come and make their own valentines.  I will be having a Mommy and Me Build-a-Bear Class, a birthday card class, Valentine and More Card Class, a new monthly Techniques class and MORE.  I will have pictures and descriptions of these classes in my January newsletter.  If you don't receive my newsletter, please sign up on the left hand sisde of this blog.  You won't want to miss what I have to offer.

Starting tomorrow I will be posting projects onces again.  I am spending some time in my stampin' studio creating today, so stay tuned tomorrow when I resume posting.

Have a great Monday!

Name Frame

Every year for Christmas, I make a name frame for Robbie's teachers.  Each year, I have received a huge response from the teachers and I enjoy making them.  Here is Mrs. Kelly's gift...

I used bright cherry colors.  I love the Razzleberry Lemonade DSP and the my favorite stamp set Petal Piazzazz. The letters were made with a die cut system and I stamped the Melon Mambo with Versamark.  I am very pleased with how it came out and hope she likes it.  These make great year end gifts too.  Be on the lookout for a Name Frame class in 2010!
