Purse Perfect

This awesome purse is made with Bella Bleu Designer Series Paper. I love, love, love this paper. This was a bit an effort, but I love the way it came out. It is made to hold cards. I will be posting the cards over the next few days. I used Manhattan Flowers to create the flower on the front of the purse and for the upcoming cards. I used watercolor crayons to color the flower.

Awash some more....

This card says created by Stacey Roussin, but really was created by Dania Welch, she just let me make it at her house when I was visiting. It uses the Awash with flowers Stamp Set, and many of the retiring colors. It is an easel card that stands up with you are finished with it.

In Colors

I had a Sympathy card to make recently, I used all in colors plus a texture plate for the Big Shot to make a simple yet pretty card.

Awash with Flowers

I worked Saturday night on a few cards using my new Awash with Flowers set. This is my first attempt using Stampin' Up's version of acrylics stamps. I had a hard time with them to tell you the truth. I think I am a wood block girl. I always knew I was but after struggling with this set I know for sure. I like knowing exactly where I am stamping, however when I wanted to add something I had to keep putting stamps back on blocks and I just seemed to be making a mess. What do you guys think? Acrylics or Wood?

I used the designer paper from the last mini, with Orchid Opulance, Pretty in Pink, So Saffron and Certainly Celery. I haven't used Orchid Opulance much and really enjoyed the color. The greeting set was one from this years Sellabration mini.


I used a texture and my big shot for the So Saffron paper.

I used the Clear Circle Sizzox Die and Large Scallop for this card. I had to use a craft knife to trim the edge of the circle after I mounted it on the card, I enjoy the effect.

Christmas in May?

Check out these ornaments we made yesterday. My Mom is working on making items each month for her church fair in the fall. They have a Christmas tree they decorate with ornaments for sale and she wanted the 3D ornament from the Big Shot. It is not the easiest one to make. Once you get the hang out it, it's not bad, it's just trying to figure it out again. It's not like riding a bike, I had to google the directions and really focus during the first assembly. They are so worth it. I also showed her how to make the ball ornament from the six inch strips of decorative paper too.

This is the 3D sizzox ornament. It takes 25 pieces to make this size. You have to use sticky strip or double sided tape, mono is not strong enough to hold this baby together long.

Scrappin!

Two posts in two days, I am almost officially on a roll. This Scrapbook page was done on my weekend trip with the Scrapbook Divas. The picture of Madeleine was taken on her first day of kindergarten last September. The paper and the layout cam from Close to my Heart. I love the Close to my Heart layout books, Cherish, Imagine and Reflection they really help me showcase my pictures with a great layout.



This was Jack's first day of sixth grade. I was not able to actually stand in the driveway and take the picture so I had to make do with lurking on the porch. The exciting part of this layout were the letter stickers that have been in my scrap gear for a while and they make the apples on the paper look like backgrounds. I really love that look.

Mothers Day Cards

I am so happy to say I am stamping again! I have done some scrapping in the past few months but haven't been stamping cards! Well, here are my Mother's Day Cards! I used the Flower Fancy set, I really love, love, love the way these came out. I used Stampin' up!'s mambo melon and razzleberry paper and inks and mambo melon polka dot ribbon. It took me a few times to figure out how to tie the bow so the polka dots showed on both parts. (The polka dots are only on one side).
