Decor Elements to share!

I just got my new Decor Elements yesterday! I was so happy to see my UPS man. I could'nt wait to get it on the wall! I love the rich look of the chocolate chip against the neutral colors. I will be showing you some other examples in the next few days. I am going to suprise Bailey with some bling on her wall. I can't wit to show you!!

Spooky!


I am getting into the Halloween spirit! I don't typically like Halloween. Since my kids are in elementary school I am starting to warm up to the holiday. I think one reason that I never liked halloween is that it is the same week as my birthday and well I don't really like my birthday either. Well at least there are fun projects to make to take my mind off of that!!
I have a few cards I received here from Kimberly Van Diepen and a swap card from Tami White from Founder's Circle. The paper bag album is one of my favorite projects ever! I love to scrapbook EVERY picture I take of my kids on Halloween. You know what I mean I know you do!
How do you like the spooky tree? I used chipboard and the Batty for You stamp set. Also a retired set called Booglie Eyes. My kids just love these sets. Well I am off to make Frankenstein treat bags for a neighborhood block party! Happy Haunting.

I got my Create Back!

Well I used to have a cute little Create sign on my wall in my stamp room but a few months ago it fell off and broke. I tried not to take as a sign of anything... SO when the Decor Elements came out and Create was one of them I knew I had to have that!! However with the move I couldn't put it up until now. So here is a look at my new stamp room! I was really excited about how this looks on the wall. It really looks like it was painted! These elements are really easy to put up. I am going to be putting up several more in my new home and I will share the results with you soon.

I hope your day is the sweetest Ever!!

I can't wait to send this card to my cousin. She turned 10 in September. Oops. Sure glad i have the "and I bet you thought I forgot..." stamp to put inside. I don't know where the month has gone. I have been having a lot of fun with the Crazy for cupcakes stamps. This is one of my workshop cards this month. I used the white chunky glitter and the Tombow multipurpose glue to make sprinkles on top of the cupcake. A little dab of crystal effects on the candle and that's it! A little bling is always good for your birthday!

Dreams Du Jour!


I guess I am on a butterfly kick right now! Not really sure why... But have you seen the new Baja Breeze classic ink? I used night of navy and baja blue together. This butterfly stamps so crisply on Whisper white paper! I am really enjoying the scallop edge punch it makes these edges so much easier!

So Glad We're Friends

The new Level 1 Hostess set "Best Yet" is one of my favorites. I never realized how much I loved these colors together until I saw the Bella Rose paper! This card uses the Wonderful You stamp set. If you like 2 step stampin' this is a fantastic set. I used the Stamp -a-ma Jig to position the images where I wanted them to go!

Hope Your Day is as happy as it gets!





I just love the butterfly sets I have. This one is The Flight of the Butterfly. The 5/8 grosgrain ribbon is so easy to work with. The designer series paper is from Bella Rose. I got this idea from Robin Merriman and Denise Jorgensen!

A Perfect Birthday Calendar!!

I had such a great time making this Birthday Calendar. The kit from our Holiday Mini Catalog made it SO easy to put together. I added a few stamped images from my Organic Outlines stamp set and it was a quick and easy project! I am hoping to be able to part with it as a gift but--I like it so much I may have to keep it!!

Welcome to my new Blog!!


This is my first post to my new blog. I am so glad you stopped by! I am looking forward to sharing my projects and ideas with you! This picture was taken recently at the Stampin' UP! Founders Circle Trip in St. George, Utah. It was my absolute honor to have my picture taken with two people who absolutely INSPIRE me!!-- Kimberly Van Diepen and Shelli Gardner!! This trip was just out of this world. It was one that I will never forget! If you are wondering about our location... All the rubber on this playground was donated by Stampin' UP!

I Wish Paper Bag Album!











Here are a few pictures of my latest paper bag album. It is truly a scrapbooking album without any stamping. I am not sure how that happened!! I think it is because there are so many YUMMY things in the I WISH Simply Scrappin' Kit that I just went crazy! With just a few punches and some dimensionals I had a blast!! I love these colors together, real red, old olive and chocolate chip. Very traditional colors! The thing I love most about the Christmas Paper Bag album is that it gives me a place to scrapbook all of my christmas cards that are photos. I always hate the thought of throwing away those beautiful photos. I love having a fun place to preserve these memories each year!
