Sweet Pea Birthday card

Good afternoon. I needed some quick and easy birthday cards and I think this fits the bill. I used the Sweet Pea designer paper on top of whisper white and Pumpkin Pie cardstock. Scalloped punched the edges and added another of the designer papers over that. I wanted some kind of embellishment but not ribbon or hardware. I used the 1/2", 3/4", and 1" circle punches to recreate the circles on the designer paper. The saying is from On Your Birthday. Enjoy

Mother's Day Card

Good afternoon. Today's card is from Andrea Walford. I downloaded her free .pdf and created it for my mother for Mother's Day. I hope you enjoy!

Spotlight technique

Good morning. Today's card is from my technique class on Tuesday. We did the spotlighting technique. The card base is Pretty in Pink and the stamp set is a Level 1 Hostess set from the Idea Book. It was a lot of fun creating this card. Join us on the second Tuesday in May for the next technique class. Enjoy!

I have many projects in various stages of completion, but nothing finished to post. Real life has gotten in the way. I have 2 friends in the hospital and everytime I sit down to create I think about them. I will have something new tomorrow, and hopefully each day this next week. Thank you for standing by me.

Stampin up colors retiring...get yours quick.

As I told you yesterday, Stampin'Up! is retiring some of it's colors and putting the others into new groups. There will be 6 new colors and 5 new in-colors. Here is the list of the retiring colors. If you are missing any, call me today to complete your set.

NEW STAMPIN UP COLORS

Today, Stampin’ Up! announced some amazing changes to the color lines! They are now called Color Collections instead of Families and have been rearranged for ease of selection as Brights, Neutrals, Regals and Subtles. We were allowed to share with our customers so that you may plan your purchase decisions based on this new information. The new (or old In Colors) will be available for customers beginning July 1, and the current (but soon to be retired colors) will be available for purchase until June 30th.

Several In Colors from the last couple of years have returned, including my all-time favorite, Baja Breeze! (Also returning are Wild Wasabi, Pink Pirouette, Pacific Point, Riding Hood Red, River Rock and Tangerine Tango.)

Three of this year’s In Color favorites are not going to retire and will be available for purchase into next year: Rich Razzleberry, Melon Mambo and Soft Suede. Kraft has been renamed as Crumb Cake….yum!

The chart at the top shows you the remaining colors which includes the five new colors (Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler and Marina Mist) Five new In Colors will be available in July that will now last 2 years instead of just one, and they sound lovely!

Some colors are retiring that I will miss such as Brocade Blue and Creamy Caramel, so if you would like to order any of these 30 pretty colors in cardstock, ink pads or refills, you’ll need to do so before June 30, 2010. I hope you are as excited to try Cherry Cobbler and Early Espresso as I am, I look forward to the new color combos we can make.

Easter Bunny gifts, day 2

Wow oh wow! First this cute decorated bag, then the inside. Oh my goodness. Jelly Belly's, shaped brads to use on my banners, a post it holder with pen, and EGG planters.

Technique Stamp Camp

Good evening. Beginning the second Tuesday in April and running for the next 15 months I will be holding a Technique Stamp Camp. The class is free but requires a $25 order each month, whether you attend the class or not. You will have a completed ringed book containing all 16 techniques. During each session you will learn the new technique, put a small sample on your ring book and then complete a card using that technique. The class runs from 5-6 pm. If you cannot make the scheduled class time and have a total of 4 people I will schedule the camp at your convenience. Call or email your reservation.

Rolodex

Good afternoon. This is the project my downline and I finished this morning. What a great gift idea. Because we had so much fun creating them, using a fabulous one created by Mary Rindal, MaryR on StampinAddicts, I am offering them as a finished gift item for $15.00 plus shipping where it applies and for a kit without any stamping for $12 plus shipping. This project uses a rolodex purchased at a local office supply store and our wonderful 2009-2010 in colors. Various punches were used to complete the project. Please call or email to purchase yours. I take paypal for all my projects. Enjoy!

Thank you swap

Good afternoon. I know I haven't posted much lately, but I've been creating projects for my secret Peep. I will post the pictures after Easter. Today's post is the card I made for a Thank You swap with Stampin'Addict demo's. I used Crushed Curry, Whisper White, and Bermuda Bay. I love the color combination. Enjoy!

While cleaning out my stamp room I found two goodies that I will give, free, to the next two people to schedule a workshop. I will bring them with me to your workshop. Call now!!

ETA: Thank you, the goodies are gone and the workshops are scheduled. I'll list some retired stamp sets for the next two workshops.

March Banner last pages

Happy March!! Can spring be close? I certainly hope so. I've had enough of the snow. Here are the last letters of the banner. Tomorrow I will post the pictures of the project we are working on Saturday. It's an impromptu class and I had enough of the retired DSP to put together the projects. The gals who were here last Saturday saw it and wanted to create. See what you are missing when you don't attend? Enjoy the rest of the banner.
