Pinewood Derby 2009

I can't believe I got this great picture. Taking a picture of these cars in motion is like trying take a picture of fireworks, not an easy thing! That is Dylan's car about to cross the finish line first!




The winner is.......Dylan! He won his age group and he won the whole thing!


The guitar car in the red lane is Jack's car and the blue car in the blue lane is Dylan's car. Dylan's theme was Little Big Planet, a game he LOVES on the PS3, Jackson's car had a theme of Guitar Hero. This was in the final round of racing. Both boys made the finals, Jack took 4th overall and Dylan took first!


The Roussin Racing Family wins another year! The pressure continues to defend the title! A big thanks to Grandpa, without him none of this could be possible. He is head of the Roussin Race Team guiding us to victory!

Stamp Club January, New Catalog!

This is a repeat of a previous post, I added riding hood red taffeta ribbon to it. It needed a little something. This card uses the Valentine Love You Much Bundle DSP, three heart punch and Stamp Set.


Just Buzzin' By! This is a card I modified from the Stampin' Success Magazine, it is a little out of the box for me. It is super cute and I am really happy with it. It is a little touch of Spring in Upstate NY where it's cold and my driveway is covered with snow.



This is a great card and much easier to make then it looks!

New Idea Book and Catalogs are Here!

It's here, it's here and it's everything you want it to be!

Hearts, Hearts and More Hearts!

Today's card features the Love You much Bundle and the New Three Heart punch! I love, love, love this punch, it is too much fun!

Open House Make and Take

This was the make and take that my Open House attendees got to make. It uses the new Raspberry Tart DSP and the new Petal Pizazz Stamp Set. I used Rose Red, Regal Rose and Kiwi Kiss Ink and our beautiful Kiwi Kiss satin ribbon. I bet you wish you stopped by now, huh! I had a great turn out and it was a nice afternoon!

Birthday Gift for a Friend

This is a birthday gift for a friend. It it a box that holds cards and a perpetual birthday calendar. It used the retiring Banbury Designer Series Paper (Sniff) I love this paper, it's plaid and it's pink, it is so me! This is the inside view of the box with the cards, envelopes and birthday calendar all inside.



Here is the front of the box closed.

This is what the months look like so you can fill in all your friends and families important dates.

This is one of the cards designed to go inside the box.

There are four total in that design, each with a different sentiment.

There are two of this design.

Here is another design, there are four of these in the box, each with a different sentiment from this year's Ronald McDonald House Stamp Set.

This is one of my favorite styles, I love the different color ribbons and the raised dots that look like dry embossing.

Four of this kind too!

Finally what girlfriend gift would be complete without my favorite Cheer to you!

Raspberry Tart

This is a cute box that holds notecards ( 3 1/2 by 5). I used the new Raspberry Tart DSP to accent it and the new Sweet Stems Stamp to accent the cards.




This is the view of the box open with the cards, the envelopes are inside the box.



I made three designs , two of each

Does it get cuter?

A four pack of love. I made this great project from a pattern I found on the web. I designed the style using the Love you Much Bundle. I love every part of that silly bundle. The punch is just too much fun!



The clever person who designed the pattern even designed the bottom of the milk cartons so that you can get into them and still maintain their cuteness. How stinkin' clever is that. The tab punch makes it easy!

Details of the front. I used blender pens to color, I stamped everything in Basic Gray ink.

This is what it looks like open. There are small cello bags with 3 tags each on the side panels. The two inner panels have pockets that hold two cards each with two envelopes. Each card is so cute, very different a step up!

One set of tags.

The other set of tags

Big Shot Love Baby!

This is a great box made from the envelope die for the Big Shot. I embellished with the new Love you Much stamp set, riding hood red ribbon and punches galore. I used sticky strip to assemble the box, these days I wouldn't use anything else!








I used the pillow box die to create this little box. I used report covers that I purchased at an office store and embellished away. I filled the box with gum drops to show off how cute it is!

How Do I Love Thee? Let's Make a Book to Count The Ways!

This is a little book with 8 small pockets to list the Top 8 ways you love and care about someone! How cute is that? It uses the New Candy Lane DSP, the new 3 heart punch and the the new Love You Much Stamp Set. All available now is a Bundle with a 20% savings!



This is the cover of the little pocket note book. It uses the scallop punch, the 1/8 punch, the new 2 heart punch, the scallop edge punch and more!



This is the top view of the book with all the little notes inside! I haven't filled them in yet, I don't know who the lucky recipient is going to be yet!



Here is an inside view, I couldn't help but embelish with the new 3 heart punch! I just love it!



Here are four of the eight tags that go in the book, I really had fun making this!



Here are the last four of the eight tags that go in the book, this was a great project to get me back into the stamping grove!
