Your Next Stamp Fun Friday~Valentine Treat Box!

2012-01-27T03:00:00.004-05:00

Hello! We have jam packed Fun Friday post for you today on the Your Next Stamp Blog! You won't want to miss all the amazing DT projects, so make sure you check them out HERE!

I made a fun little Valentine treat box, using this fab template from Perfect Presentation called Tall Gable Box and my Silhouette Cameo. This one is the 1 sheet version and it holds a ton of these Nestle Crunch candy hearts! This super sweet image is from Your Next Stamp and is called Apple Cutie. I just covered up the apples in her basket with some punched hearts and viola! She is perfect for Valentine's Day:) I used my Heart Nestabilities to make the heart shaped window.

My tip on the YNS Blog is to think outside the box with your stamps. Sometimes you can make an image fit the occasion with a few little changes.

Thank you so much for stopping by! I'll be back tomorrow with another treat box, this time using a template I found in the Silhouette store. I think I may get addicted! Have a fabulous Friday!

Hello! It's time for another Color Throwdown Challenge, and this time the super talented Joan Ervin is our hostess! I just LOVE the picture she chose, and those gorgeous colors! Here is my card:

I used this super cute image from Your Next Stamp called Ellie Loves to Skate along with the YNS set Elegant Greetings for the sentiment. The dp is a mix of Jillibean Soup Apple Cheddar Soup and My Mind's Eye Ooh La La and I used Jen's January Sketch For You To Try for my layout.

Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps Challenge #71~A Sketch!

2012-01-24T00:00:00.001-05:00

Hello! Well, my 49ers lost on Sunday. It was a sad night, but I'm still so excited that they made it as far as they did! My dad was born and raised in San Francisco, so I grew up cheering on the 49ers back when they were awesome! It's been such a long time since they've had such a great season so it felt really good:)

I have a card to share today that I made for the current Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps Challenge #71 which is a fabulous sketch by Kim Yu! Here is my take:

I used another adorable gal from the new Karber Fashion set. I just love this set! The dp is My Mind's Eye Six by Six Honey Cake and the flower was cut with the MFT Die-namics Prima Donna Petals.

We hope you'll play along and we have an awesome prize up for grabs:

Snow Angel Ruby! Isn't she such a cutie?! Just link your creation to the Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps Blog HERE but remember, you must use a SCRS image on your project:)

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I'll be back tomorrow with a new Color Throwdown Challenge. Enjoy your Tuesday!

Your Next Stamp Fun Friday Post~Valentine Tags!

2012-01-20T12:16:00.000-05:00

Hello! I'm so sorry I'm running late with my post! This is the project I have on the Your Next Stamp Blog today:) Valentine's Day is coming up, and that means treat bags for the class! My daughter helped me pick out some fun things she would like to give out to her class, and I wanted to jazz up the presentation a little bit with a handmade tag! I just love that handmade tags make your gift look unique and special!

For my tags I used these adorable critters from Jenny Suchin Designs called Basket Animals. Don't they look so cute peeking over the heart?! The tags were cut with the PTI Tag Sale #1 Die, and I used Heart Nestabilities to cut the hearts. I added some Echo Park Paper Co. Yours Truly dp and a sentiment from the SU set Teeny Tiny Wishes. A little ribbon and baker's twine and they were complete!

Here is a close up of one of the tags using the adorable fox in this set:

I embossed the hearts with the CB Seeing Spots Embossing Folder. Well I hope this inspires you to create some tags! My daughter just LOVES how these came out and can't wait to give them to her class:) Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

I just have to say GO 49ers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Color Throwdown #173 PLUS Some Exciting News!!!

2012-01-04T02:00:00.002-05:00

Hello and Happy 2012! Did you miss me? I took a nice little break while my kiddos were out of school for the holidays. We had lots of fun getting ready for Christmas and spending some time in Jacksonville with my family. My hubby was off this past week, so we had more wonderful family time! I also read The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins over the break. They were soooo GOOD!!! I read all three books within a week, and now I can't wait to see the movie!

You may have noticed that we've switched things up a little bit at Color Throwdown. This year, we are not only going to be giving you the color swatches, but we will also have an inspiration picture to go with them~fun! Our lovely hostess this week is Barbara and she came up with a great combo for the New Year! This is what I came up with:

I used this darling image from Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps called Celebrating Chloe along with some dp from My Mind's Eye~Lost & Found Union Square. If you'd like to play along, just upload your creation to the Color Throwdown Blog HERE!

Speaking of Sparkle Creations, I'm so excited to announce that Sparkle invited me to join her amazing Design Team!!! This is one of my dream gigs, so I was super stoked when she asked me~thank you woman!

I'm also so incredibly excited to announce that I am also joining the Tickled Pink Stamps Design Team! Being a Pink Lady is another one of my dream gigs, so I am feeling amazingly blessed right now!

I'm looking forward to this fun and busy year. I haven't made a lot of resolutions, but the one thing I am determined to do is GET BACK TO THE GYM!!! I've been terrible about going since my thyroid surgery, and then I got really sick for much of December, and then I thought I broke my toe (it's still a little swollen and sore) but I'm pretty much back to normal and I need to lose the 10 pounds I put back on over the last few months:( On a brighter note, the new season of The Bachelor started on Monday which is my favorite show LOL! Looks like another season full of drama~love it!

Hello! It's time for a new challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps, and this time we are challenging you to make a TAG!!! This challenge is right up my alley because I LOVE making tags:) You can also incorporate a tag onto a card, etc.

For my tag I used this adorable image named Willard. This poor little dude just looks so cold doesn't he? He needs to head on down here to Florida and thaw out a little bit:) I used Nestabilities Labels 8 for the base of my tag, and embossed it with the CB D'vine Swirls embossing folder. I added a Nestie Oval, and sponged it with PTI Aqua Mist. I then embossed the oval with the CB Snowflake EF. The sentiment comes with this image.

We hope you'll play along! The prize for this challenge is this awesome image:

Cutthroat Lizzie! Just link your Tag creations to the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Blog HERE!

Hello! I can't believe that this is the end of my term at ABC Toys and Crafts! I want to say a big Thank You to Julie for letting me play with her wonderful products over the last few months:)

For my card today, I used this adorable set from Hero Arts once again called Holiday Dolls. I stamped the doll with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copics. I stamped the sentiment with SU Chocolate Chip and cut it out with Rectangle Nestabilities. I layered them onto some My Mind's Eye 12 Days of Christmas dp that I cut with my Circle Nestabilities. I cut a pretty border with the Martha Stewart Doily Lace Border Punch and added some Martha Stewart punched snowflakes.

Birthday Josh, My Trip to the ER, and Kraftin' Kimmie News!

2011-11-27T19:06:00.000-05:00

Hello! I'm just getting this in under the wire for the current Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps Challenge #68~Team Oliver vs Team Josh! I've been dying to play along, because not only am I a huge Twilight fan, but Josh is my favorite SCRS character! No offense to Oliver, because he is a total cutie too :) I used Birthday Josh for my card, along with some Echo Park Paper Co. Season's Greetings and some My Mind's Eye Life of the Party dp. The sentiment comes from the PTI set Butterfly Dreams.

So I had a wonderful Thanksgiving with my family, and my best friend and I were out Black Friday shopping all night long! I left the house at 9:40 pm Thanksgiving night and returned home at 7:30 am Friday morning. Boy was I POOPED, but I got some great deals:) Friday I slept for half of the day, and then got up and helped my hubby get our Christmas decorations up.

Yesterday was my little one's 4th birthday, so my parents came down and we had plans to take him to lunch and to a movie. I woke up yesterday feeling a little wierd. I had some lower abdominal pain, and was feeling a little like I might have a UTI. I didn't think too much of it, but as I was getting ready I started feeling worse and worse. I didn't want to ruin my little man's birthday so I was hoping it would pass.

We all piled into the car to head for lunch and I could not get comfortable. The pain had spread to my right kidney and I was sweating and feeling nauseous. My mom said you'd better stop at the urgent care clinic, so we did and as we were waiting the pain got REALLY BAD! They checked my urine which was positive for blood but nothing else. The doctor said, you'd better go to the ER. I was on the verge of tears all the way to the hospital and I could not stop moving and changing positions in the car. I was so nauseous and in so much pain! I knew at this point it had to be a kidney stone.

There was a huge wait at the ER so we waited for about 30 minutes until somebody called me up to ask what was going on. I was in so much pain I couldn't even sit down, I was just pacing and moaning. My blood pressure was 168/92 so they decided to move me ahead of a few people and take me back. I wasn't in the back for 5 minutes when suddenly the pain subsided! Thank goodness because it took an hour for them to get me into the CT scan and 30 more minutes after that for the doctor to come talk to me. It was a kidney stone, and it had made it's way down my ureter and was almost to my bladder which meant that the pain should be over. I didn't have any more stones in my kidneys THANK GOODNESS! I don't ever want to go through that again, because it was worse than labor and I've had 2 natural deliveries!!!

Today I feel pretty normal:) Well, if you read all that, thanks for hanging in. I just wanted to share my big adventure. We did get out of the ER in time to hit a later show with the birthday boy, and next weekend we're taking the kids to Legoland since he didn't have an official party this year.

Onto some Kraftin' Kimmie News! I'm a little late getting this posted but it's been a pretty crazy few days!

Kraftin Kimmie is thrilled to be featured with a full page in the Winter Issue of Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine and Kimmie has a HUGE Giveaway which you can read about HERE!

Also, virtually EVERYTHING is on SALE 25-75% OFF at the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Shop!! That's right!!! This is the BIGGEST sale they've ever had and aren't likely to repeat it anytime soon!! So take advantage while you can!! I sure did! Sale ends tomorrow!!!

Ok, I promise I'm done. Thanks for stopping by!

So Thankful!

2011-11-24T01:01:00.002-05:00

Hello and Happy Thanksgiving for those of you in the U.S.! I made a fun little Thanksgiving card for a good friend of mine using this adorable set from Hero Arts called So Thankful. I stamped this cutie with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copics. I used a combination of Crate Paper and Jillibean Soup dp's and added some embossing to the white panel with a Cuttlebug Embossing Folder. I have to admit that I almost dropped the ball on this week's theme~Martha Stewart Punches, but I added this darling little leaf and I think it makes the perfect accent:)

I hope you have a wonderful day with your friends and family! Don't forget to check out the specials going on right now at ABC Toys and Crafts and maybe you can check a few people off your holiday list! Thanks for stopping by!

Season's Greetings

2011-11-20T15:29:00.000-05:00

Hello! I just couldn't wait to play with this adorable new digi image from Tickled Pink Stamps called Tickled Winter Little Lolita Evie~So CUTE!!! I decided to play along with this week's Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge#46 which is a fabulous sketch by Kellie. I used some Echo Park Paper Co. Holly Jolly Christmas dp and a sentiment from the PTI set Signature Christmas.

Well, my daughter had her last meet of the season yesterday which was the Florida State Championships. Can you believe that she placed 2nd all around in her age group? We were soooooo proud of her!!! She was pretty proud of herself too:) Here's a quick pic:

2011-11-17T01:01:00.001-05:00

Hello! For the next couple of weeks the ABC Toys and Crafts DT is showing off My Cute Stamps images on the DT Blog. Julie sent me this whimsical set called Miss You, and I thought it would be perfect for a thank you card that I needed to make. I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, and colored with Copics. I stamped the butterfly twice so I could cut out the wings and pop them up. I cut the images out with Circle Nestabilities and added some sponging and stitching. The sentiment and tag are from PTI~Tiny Tags, and the pretty dp is My Mind's Eye Six by Six~Vanity Fair.

All My Cute Stamp Sets are on sale HERE!!!

Color Throwdown #168~Ornamental Christmas

2011-11-16T02:00:00.002-05:00

Hello! It's time for another Color Throwdown Challenge, and the fabulous Keva is our hostess this week. I really love this color combo! Here is my card:

I used this gorgeous ornament from the Verve set Ornamental Christmas along with a mix of My Mind's Eye Lost & Found dp~Union Square and Sunshine. I stamped my ornament with SU Basic Gray and colored with Copics. I then added some small rhinestones to the snowflakes. I cut the image out with Circle Nestabilities and layered on top of a doily cut with my MFT Decorative Doily Duo Die-namics. The gray shape was cut with Nestabilities Labels Sixteen. I followed the Viva La Verve November Week 2 Sketch for my layout.

We hope you'll join us this week! Just link your card to the Color Throwdown Blog HERE!

Thank you so much for stopping by and have a wonderful Wednesday!

Wish and Tickled Pink Stamps Guest DT Call

2011-11-14T17:38:00.002-05:00

Hello! How is the start of your week going so far? I'm trying to get back into going to the gym since summer and my surgery. WHOA, it's amazing how fast we fall out of shape, and I can tell I am going to be SORE tomorrow (and the next day, and the day after that...).

Anyway, I was super excited when I saw on the Tickled Pink Stamps Blog that they are having a Guest DT call, because being a Pink Lady is one of my dream gigs!!! I had just finished this card for a friend of mine who wanted a cute and sassy birthday card for her teenage daughter. Since I adore Lil' Lolita images, I immediately thought of this adorable gal~Lil' Fashionette 60's Ivy~don't you just love her?! I paired her with some My Mind's Eye Lime Twist Happy Go Lucky dp and a sentiment from the PTI set Tiny Tags.

Here is another one of my favorite cards using these images:

Isn't Witch Lylah the sassiest witch ever?!? LOVE! Well, wish me luck!!! I REALLY want to work with these awesome images!!!

CAS Christmas

2011-11-03T01:00:00.001-04:00

Hello! Clean and Simple is not my normal style, and I know I probably didn't do it justice, but I had this idea in my head for this darling Hero Arts Clear Set called Sending Holiday Cheer. Aren't these Christmas houses just so cute?! I stamped the images onto Kraft cs with Memento Rich Cocoa Ink. I colored just a few areas with Copics and added some Stickles to the ice and snow. The sentiment comes with this set, and the snow drifts were made with PTI dies.

Wanna peek at the new Happy Holidays Die Set?

Isn't it FABULOUS?! Here's what I came up with using the new dies and coordinating stamps:

For my first card, I used the darling Tree Die and Stamp that come with this set. I also used the Sentiment Block that comes with this set, but I taped off the parts I didn't want to ink, inked up "Joyful", removed the tape, and stamped the "Joyful" sentiment. This is a great way to get more options out of your stamps! The dp I used is Echo Park Paper Co. Holly Jolly Christmas. Such a simple card, but I really love it!

For my next card I used the Stocking Stamps and Die. I just think these stockings are so cute! I colored them up to match my Echo Park Paper Co. Season's Greetings dp. I added some texture to the cream bg with the CB Seeing Spots Embossing Folder and added a few sprigs of greenery with a Martha Stewart punch. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up.

Don't forget to blog hop and leave comments for your chance to win this fabulous prize! I'll be back tomorrow with some more YNS goodies!

2011-10-13T01:01:00.003-04:00

Hello and happy Thursday! I just love this darling image from the Crafty Secrets set Halloween Fun! Isn't she so sweet?! I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored her with Copics.

Your Next Stamp Challenge #53~Halloween!

2011-10-12T10:06:00.001-04:00

ACK! I didn't think I was going to be able to post this today because my house is in DEMO mode! We decided to get hardwood floors in our living room, office, and hallway because our carpet was pretty much destroyed. We thought they were going to lay the floor on Monday, so we moved everything out of those rooms including our computer, thinking we we have everything back in place by now. Well, the guys weren't able to do the job Monday, and then yesterday they pulled up the carpet to find problems with our subfloor. They then had to pour concrete to level everything out, and now can't lay the floors until tomorrow and Friday~YIKES! I'm having a big birthday party for my daughter here on Saturday, and I don't even know if my house is going to be put together! Can you say STRESSFUL!!!

Thanks to my wonderful husband, he spliced some wires and was able to put the computer together for me in our bedroom, so here is my card for this week's YNS Challenge using the super adorable Cute Witch Ellie and Her Kitty. I paired her with some Echo Park Paper Co. Happy Halloween dp and the October Jen's Sketch For You To Try.

2011-10-06T00:01:00.002-04:00

Hello! I just love this set by Hero Arts called Frightful! Isn't that tree just awesome, and the little ghost is so CUTE! I stamped my images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and shaded the ghost with warm gray Copics. I cut out the images and layered them on top of a circle that I sponged with PTI Summer Sunrise ink. I added a fence that I punched with the Martha Stewart Picket Fence Edge Punch, and stamped the BOO! which is 1 of 3 sentiments that comes with this set. I added some stitching and a punched bat and it was complete!

2011-10-03T11:09:00.000-04:00

This image totally cracks me up! I just had to use these funny little guys from the Crafty Secrets Clear Art Stamps set Halloween Fun and their size was perfect for a fun halloween tag! I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored them with Copics. I then cut them out with Oval Nestabilities and while keeping the oval in the Nestie, I sponged with Ranger Antique Linen Distress Ink. I used some dp from Echo Park Paper Co. Apothecary and added a border with the Martha Stewart Drippy Goo Border Punch. I also added a punched bat and a sentiment from the same set. The tag was cut with a PTI Tag Die.

We hope you'll play along with our October Challenge for your chance to win these goodies:

A Little Wish...

2011-09-29T00:01:00.003-04:00

Hello! I have a CAS card to share with you today that I made for the ABC Toys and Crafts Design Team Blog. I used my Spellbinders Nestabilities Squares and Scalloped Squares to make the base of my card, and the stamp set is My Cute Stamps Elegant Birds. I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, cut out the cage and popped it up on foam squares. I added a few rhinestones and some baker's twine for the cage to "hang" from. I then stamped one of the adorable birds from this same set and colored it with Copics. I cut it out with Circle Nestabilities and popped it up on the cage. Super simple!

Remember, Spellbinders Dies are 20% OFF Through September 30th!!!

Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful Thursday!

Your Next Stamp Challenge #52~Sketch By Me!

2011-09-28T03:00:00.001-04:00

Hello! Well I survived my surgery but I am going to make this short and sweet because I am extremely sore and groggy from my pain meds:) The new challenge at Your Next Stamp is a sketch by me! Here is my take on it:

I made this a while back when I still had summer on the brain, and used this adorable set Happy Days Mermaid. The dp is Fancy Pants Designs Beach Babe. The sentiment comes with the set and the sun was cut with the MFT Die-namics Sun Die.

We hope you'll play along with us! Please check out the new challenge on the YNS Blog so you can see the prize up for grabs this time! You will also want to check out the rest of the DT's fabulous creations!

Final PWCO Post and Surgery Tomorrow

2011-09-25T11:00:00.000-04:00

Hello! It's time for another Anything But A Card Sunday! My daughter has another gymnastics meet today against some really tough teams, so I thought it would be fun to give her a little gift after she competes today:) She LOVES all things stuffed animals, so I picked up a cute koala beanie baby and made a little tag using Zoe the Gymnast from the Zach and Zoe Collection. Avery won't care a thing about the tag once she sees the animal LOL!

This is my last post for PWCO. I've decided to step down from the DT. I've had a lot of fun with these adorable images over the last 9 months, and wish Peggy and the rest of the DT nothing but the best!

So tomorrow I'm having my Thyroidectomy! I'm a little nervous because I've never had surgery before, but I have faith that everything will go smoothly. I'm not sure how long I'll be out of commission~hopefully only a few days~but if my blog is quiet that is why:) Say a little prayer for me if you get a chance!

Thank you so much for stopping by and have a wonderful rest of your Sunday!

Thinking of You

2011-09-22T01:00:00.002-04:00

Hello and happy Thursday! When I saw this gorgeous set from Crafty Secrets Clear Art Stamps~Poppy, at the ABC Toys and Crafts Store, I knew I had to have it! These flowers are stunning and make it so easy to make a beautiful card!

I stamped the poppy image twice with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored one of the images with Copic Markers and cut it out with Oval Nestabilities. I then layered the oval on a Labels 18 Nestability. I colored the remaining flowers heads that I stamped and cut them out so I could pop them up on foam squares. I just love the dimension this adds!

After I chose my sentiment, I cut it out with a Spellbinders Fancy Tags Die, and sponged around it with some Ranger Antique Linen Distress Ink. The dp I used is My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Two~Sunshine, and I added some seam binding, a button, twine, and some stitching to finish it off.

All Spellbinders Dies are currently 20% OFF until September 30th!!!

Everything is 10% OFF suggested retail everyday!!!

I'll be back later with a very special surprise and announcement from Your Next Stamp~Sooooo EXCITING!!! You are going to LOVE IT!!!

Sugar and Spice Gift Set

2011-09-18T11:00:00.001-04:00

Hello! I have a little gift set to share today for Anything But A Card Sunday on the PaperWorks Co. Blog. I know I made a card, but hopefully since I made a gift box too, it will count:)

For my card I used this adorable image by Rachelle Anne Miller called Sugar and Spice (which looks like it's sold out right now). The dp is PTI Fall Prints and Patterns and the layout is this week's Super Sketch #98. The tag is from the PTI set Tiny Tags with coordinating dies and the border was die cut with the MFT Die-namics Small Open Scallop Border Die.

The box was made using a template from Perfect Presentation called Able Gable. I decorated it with some more PTI Fall Prints and Patterns dp and a sentiment from the PTI set Spiral Bouquet. The flower was made with the PTI Bloom Builders #3 Die.

Today is the day of my daughter's meet, so I'll let you know how it goes! Unfortunately she has come down with a cold, so hopefully she'll still be able to focus:) I know, I am so going to be one of those gymnastics moms so watch out!!! I just love watching her!

Speaking of, does anybody watch the show Dance Moms? I have to shamefully admit that I am totally addicted. Some people are just plain crazy! Anywho, thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful Sunday!

Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge #37~Rip Something!

2011-09-16T18:44:00.000-04:00

Hello! I've had this super cute Lil' Lolita image~Lil' Christmas Lolita Evie~colored and sitting on my desk for the last couple of weeks, so I finally sat down and put her on a card:) I decided to play along with this week's Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge which is Rip Something!

I distressed the edges of my patterned paper, and tore the bottom of the music sheet dp all from the Echo Park Paper Co. Merry Christmas line. The sentiment comes from the PTI set Signature Christmas. I added a sprig of holly punched with a Punch A Bunch punch (say that 10 times LOL) and a button. A pretty lace border, and some stitching, and it was complete!

I'm really looking forward to this weekend! My daughter has her very first gymnastic competition! She is on level 2 team this year, and has been doing really well! She won first place all around during her mock meet a few weeks ago against her teammates (27 of them!) so hopefully she'll be able to do as well against some other gyms.

Thank you so much for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your Friday!

Reading Makes You Wise

2011-09-15T00:01:00.001-04:00

Hello! For the last couple of weeks, the ABC Toys and Crafts DT has been showing off fun Back To School Projects on the ABC Design Team Blog. For my project today, I thought I would make a fun little bookmark (because you know I love to make them:)

Now that school's back in session, the reading homework has begun! I pulled out this darling owl from the My Cute Stamps Set Little Forest Friends ~so perfect for a bookmark! I stamped the owl with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored him with Copics. I used a Nestabilities Labels 10 Die to cut out my bookmark along with some Echo Park Paper Co. Country Drive dp. The top of the bookmark was embossed with the PTI woodgrain impression plate and I added a pretty punched border with the Martha Stewart Doily Lace Border Punch. The branch that the owl is perched on is also from the My Cute Stamps Little Forest Friends Set and a little ribbon and baker's twine finished it off!

I hope you've enjoyed our Back To School Projects these last couple of weeks! There is still time to play along with the Back To School Challenge HERE and don't forget that you get

2011-09-11T11:00:00.002-04:00

Hello! This is the project I made for today's Anything But A Card Sunday on the PaperWorks Co. Blog. I made a gift card holder using this darling giraffe named Gordie the Giraffe from the Safari Friends Collection. The dp is Echo Park Paper Co. Little Boy which is on clearance at the PaperWorks Co. Store for 50% off! The sentiment is from the Your Next Stamp Handwritten Sentiments set. Here is a peek at the inside:

I used the directions found HERE for this gift card holder.
I hope you have a wonderful day! Our church and 5 other local churches are coming together and holding service in a local park in honor of the 10 year anniversary of 9-11. I know it's going to be very moving and very emotional. I'm already prepared to cry for the full 2 hours.

Today also has a very positive meaning for our family because it's my hubby's birthday! After church we're taking him to lunch, and then we promised he could watch football for the rest of the day:) Thank you so much for stopping by!

Here is my project:

I decided to use a few of my new fall goodies to create a pretty gift bag:) This is a brand new template from My Time Made Easy called Tricky Treat Tote. I just love the shape and how large and roomy it is! I covered it with some of my new PTI paper~Fall Prints and Patterns and used two of my new PTI stamp sets~Simple Sunflower and Tag Its #7. The tag was cut with my PTI Tag Sale #4 Die and I tied it onto the bag with PTI Fine Linen Ribbon.

Your next stop is Cheryl Navarrete! Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you enjoy the rest of the hop!

PaperWorks Co. Anything But A Card Sunday~Monkey Tag

2011-09-04T11:00:00.002-04:00

Hello and Happy Labor Day Weekend! This month I will be posting on Sundays once again for PaperWorks Co. Anything But A Card Sunday.

Today I have a fun little tag that I made using this super adorable monkey named Mikey the Monkey from the Jungle Jesters Collection. I paired him with some Echo Park Paper Co. Life is Good dp that is on sale at the PaperWorks Co. Store! The tag was cut with my PTI Tag Sale #4 Die, and the Enjoy tag was made with the PTI Tiny Tags set and coordinating dies. I decided to make Mikey a girl for this tag, so I punched a flower and put it on top of her head. I think it looks pretty cute:)

My mom and I went with some of my friends to see The Help last night and it was soooooo good! Definitely a must see! She's heading home today, but it was so nice to have her here for a few days:) Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and thank you so much for stopping by!

Your Next Stamp Challenge #50~Song Inspired!

2011-08-31T03:00:00.002-04:00

Oh the weather outside is frightful LOL! Yes it is frightful~frightfully HOT! The new challenge at Your Next Stamp is to create something that is inspired by a song. I was in the mood to create a Christmas card, so I pulled out one of my very favorite YNS images~Tobogganing Ellie. Isn't she the cutest?! The dp is Echo Park Paper Co. Wintertime. I colored Ellie with some Copics and sponged around her with PTI Aqua Mist. The sentiment is computer generated.

The prize up for grabs for this challenge is this adorable set:

Boris From Russia! We hope you'll play along with us, and we can't wait to hear what songs inspire you!

That's it for me today! My mom is coming down for a visit this afternoon so I need to do a little cleaning! Thank you so much for stopping by and have a terrific Wednesday!

MFT Wednesday Stamp Club #34

2011-08-29T19:14:00.000-04:00

Hello again! I colored this cutie from the Pure Innocence set Being Cute is What I Do on Saturday at the Colleen Schaan workshop and thought I would add her to a card for this week's MFT Wednesday Stamp Club #34. Her colors went perfectly with this My Mind's Eye Lime Twist Happy Go Lucky dp. I used the File Tab Die-namics Die for the sentiment which is from the same set, and added some flowers that I cut with the Die-namics Pretty Posies Dies.

Time to go eat some dinner! Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful evening. I'm looking forward to Bachelor Pad and HGTV's Design Star:)

Hello! This is my final post this month for PaperWorks Co. PaperCard Kit Monday! If you haven't ordered the kit, you only have a couple days left to do so! This week I used this darling image from Rachelle Anne Miller called Some Bunny Loves You. The cs, dp, ribbon, and pearls all come in The Kit. I embossed the pink panel with the CB Seeing Spots Embossing Folder, and the pretty border was cut with my new MFT Die-namics Faux Crochet Border that I picked up this weekend at the My Favorite Things Boutique Grand Opening!

On Saturday I attended a Copic class by the amazing and fun Colleen Schaan at the new MFT Boutique! Guess who was in my class?

Carole Burrage!!! I was so excited to meet her and she is such a sweet, friendly, and fun person! I had a blast and left with some really good coloring tips:) Well that's it for me today. I'm ALMOST done with those baby shower invitations I've been working on. My goal is to finish today! Thank you so much for stopping by and have a great Monday!

A Couple More School Pics

2011-08-24T10:57:00.001-04:00

Hello! Well since I shared pictures of my two older kiddos on their first day of school, I have to share a picture of Carson yesterday. He is going to school for the first time this year~two days a week. I wasn't sure how he was going to handle it, but when we walked into the classroom, he immediately ran over and started playing trains with another little boy. I could barely get him to look at me for a picture and when he did look at me, this is what I got LOL:

He gave me a quick hug goodbye and went back to playing. Ok, so that was easy. When I went to pick him up I asked if he had fun and he said YEAH! Since I walked him to his class, I ran down and took a quick picture of my daughter at her desk.

She's getting to be such a big girl! Ok, well I promise that's it for school pictures:) My friend ended up loving the baby shower invitation I made, so I'm going to be busy working on those for the next few days. Thank you so much for stopping by and have a great Wednesday!

PaperWorks Co. PaperCard Kit Monday

2011-08-22T11:06:00.001-04:00

Hello! I have another card to share that I made using supplies from the PaperWorks Co. August PaperCard Kit. This time I pulled out some orange, black, and white dp and made a cute little halloween card:) This adorable image is by Rachelle Anne Miller called The Pumpkin Patch. I added a border around the dp that I cut with some pinking shears which seems to be popular right now. The button comes with the kit, and I added some baker's twine from my stash.

Well, my kids started school today and I thought I'd share a couple of pics that I took this morning.

Avery's holding up a 1 because it's her first day of first grade:)

Baby Shower Invites

2011-08-21T00:43:00.000-04:00

Hello! A friend of mine asked if I might be able to make some baby shower invites. She showed me a picture of a printed invitation that her and the mother to be were drawn to and this was my interpretation:) I used the colors they really seemed to love as well as the little birdie theme. The inside will say a shower for such and such and her "tweet" baby girl. So cute!

I used a couple of images from the My Cute Stamps set Elegant Birds and a sentiment from the Verve set To the Moon. I cut the shape of the onesie with my PTI Onesie Die~LOVE! and the dp is from the Making Memories Wedding Collection. The flower was made with my MFT Die-namics Mini Rolled Roses. I hope they like it!

Well I gotta get to bed! Thank you so much for stopping by and have a wonderful Sunday!
