Snow Much Fun # 2

2011-09-29T10:00:00.000-07:00

I love this card. I saw it in this months Stampin Success and knew I would be making it. I had not done a side stair step card before so I thought what a great opportunity to teach a new technique with one of my favorite sets. This card requires a lot of cutting so it takes some time. But the end result - oh so cute so I say worth it :)

Stitched Stockings # 2

2011-09-28T10:00:00.000-07:00

This card was another quick and easy card. I had some extra dsp and ribbon from a couple years ago that I wanted to use. Liiked at a card with a similar design and the stitched stocking was created. Normally it takes me an hour or more to get a card designed. I loved that 4 cars took me less than 2 hours.

Merry Winter # 2

2011-09-27T10:00:00.000-07:00

This was another card that we made this month in the Christmas Card Class. I needed some quick to put together cards as the final card was going to be a challenge card and take some time. The snowflake is from the Jingle Bingo Bits stamp set.

Christmas Lodge

2011-09-26T10:00:00.000-07:00

I love this set but was debating on getting it as I have so many Christmas Stamps. In the end I decided to get it and am so glad I did. I cased this card from Jan Tink - changing it up slightly. A great card to use up some of those snowflakes :) This was one of the cards for our September Christmas Card Class.

The Sounding Joy # 2

2011-09-25T10:00:00.000-07:00

I love the colors of this card (Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla) and how elegant it looks. It uses the quilted satan ribbon and Snow Burst the new textured impression embossing folder.

Boo Bowl!

2011-09-24T10:00:00.000-07:00

Shirley found these cute little Halloween bath gels at a local discount shop. They had different shapes but the spider was my favorite. We started discussing how we could use these. We got packages of black bowls at the dollar spot. They came in sets of 4. We then saw the bath scrubbies that came in sets of 2 and Shirley commented that these would make a great filler. Since I travel so much - I have all these travel size shampoos. lotions, conditioners and soaps. We covered them with designer series paper and there it was - these cute little BOO bowls. It will be fun to display them in the bathroom or give one to company if they are visiting in October. My sister does a spooky Halloween party for the grandkids and this would be fun favors for them to have at the party.

House of Haunts

2011-09-23T10:00:00.000-07:00

My friend Shirley and I were looking through a Stampin Success and we saw this cute little bag with the image stamped on the Wood Sheets. We decided to try it - one with handles and a more manly one without :) This will be one of the projects in the Halloween Stamp Camp.

Halloween Advent Calendar

2011-09-22T10:00:00.000-07:00

I saw this project on a 2009 Stampin Success Magazine. I wanted to make it back then but it got put to t he wayside. Going back through the old magazines I saw it again and decided to make it. How fun to have an advent calendar where you can put in little wrapped up candy bars and little notes for fun things to do in October - such as watch a scary movie, carve pumpkins, decorate the house...

Snow Much Fun

2011-09-21T10:03:00.000-07:00

I love this stamp set. When I saw it in the catalog I knew I would be getting it. These cards are made using Baja Breeze and Riding Hood Red. I have so many of these snowflakes that I am looking for projects to use them on.

Merry Winter

2011-09-20T10:00:00.000-07:00

I got this set needing a few small snowmen for a card idea I had. I haven't created that card yet - but wanted to make sure they got put to good use. I have too many stamp sets that went new and unmounted and retired. So my goal is to use all stamp sets that I purchase this year :)

Stitched Stockings

2011-09-19T09:51:00.000-07:00

I copied this card directly from the Holiday Mini. I used Pear Pizzazz and Cherry Cobbler. I think Cherry Cobbler is my new favorite color. A tip for this card - the center stocking was inked in Cherry Cobbler and then the Argile portion cleaned off and colored with the Pear Pizzazz marker. The Cherry Cobbler still comes through. So I recommend you do them on separate pieces and cut out the argile portion to adhere to the stocking.

Gifts of Christmas - Aug 2011

2011-09-18T09:43:00.000-07:00

I made this card in the past without a colored backing. I love this set and it works great using the Popping Pastels technique.

The Sounding Joy # 1

2011-09-17T09:33:00.000-07:00

I didn't take this picture on the best background. This was one of the cards we did in our August Christmas Card class. This was my least favorite one of the five. I love the stamp set - I wished I would have brought the dsp all the way down the card if I did it again.

Halloween Decor Stamp Camp

2011-08-23T18:27:00.000-07:00

I have been planning a Halloween Stamp Camp and wanted to use the Decor Elements. This is the second frame that stampers will be able to choose to make. I then used the spiders for the Spooky Bingo Bits game and the Halloween Bag. There will be 2 more projects along with these 3 but they are still under constructon.

This stamp camp will be on Sept 30th at 6:00 pm. Class cost is $25. Please bring your own adhesive. Please send your RSVP to KristinesCreations@comcast.net. Hope to see you there :)

Calendar Pages Jan-Mar

2011-08-22T18:22:00.000-07:00

These were the first 3 calendar pages for the Birthday Calendar class we did last fall.

Boooooooooo

2011-08-09T19:28:00.000-07:00

I am prepping for my Halloween stamp camp and wanted to use the Decor Elements in the class. This is one of the frames that they will be able to choose from. I stamped the background with the spiders from Scardy Cat and the webs from Wicked Cool. I punched out Daffodil Delight circles and put them behind the pumpkins to make them look like they were lit up.

Snow Card

2011-08-07T18:56:00.000-07:00

This was a card I saw on Ashley's blog last year and made them for a club night. It uses Early Espresso and Crumb Cake. It is embossed with the snowflake envelope and then sponged white fraft over the snowflake images. I love this card. Very classy and very easy :)

Let It Snow

2011-08-06T18:40:00.000-07:00

Dave got this card last year for Christmas. I found it recently while packing/unpacking and thought this would make a great stamping up card.

So this is what I came up with. It is embossed with the bigshot with the snowflakes folder. Then the letters are all cut out with the big shot as well. I went to the scrap drawers and found a real red snowflake print paper, then used Night of Navy and some shade of yellow. I think it was Crushed Curry. I was going through some embellishements to find something for the "o" and found these old snowflake brads. And then an old star brad for the "i". There you go - my version of the commericial card :)

Frame Class

2011-08-06T16:47:00.001-07:00

I have been wanted to do the Name Frame Class for quite some time now and just never put it on the calendar. As I was unpacking my stamp stuff an dputting away the frames I thought - I just need to get this scheduled. This was a last minute class (less than a week) but we had a few takers. These are the frames that were created. I was so proud of my ladies :)

I wanted to make a frame with my new last name but I wanted to use Early Espresso for the background first layer but I needed 12x12 size and didn't have any so I made one for Dave's parents for Christmas. I used Chocolate Chip, Marina Mist, Crumb Cake and Cajon Craze.

This is Colleen and she loves to read. When asked what she wanted to use she wanted to say I {heart} books. I loved the way it turned out. The color combo used was Cherry Cobbler, Basic Black, Pear Pizzazz, and Very Vanilla.

This is Gwenda. She made her family name. It is a very soft color and very beautiful. She used Blush Blossom, Chocolate Chip, Pear Pizzazz and Very Vanilla.

This is Melinda. Her frame has a special story. Today she is becoming the guardian of a 15 year old girl - Amara. Amara is very lucky to have someone who cares about her so much and her well-being. Melinda wanted to welcome Amara to their family so she made her this frame. She used Chocolate Chip, Blush Blossom, Crumb Cake, and Very Vanilla.

This is Shirley and she did her family name as well. The stamping and the frame look so great together. Shirley used Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Marina Mist and Very Vanilla.

Great job ladies. You are all so talented and did a great job! This was so fun. I so look forward to next time.

Tags Till Christmas

2011-08-05T18:34:00.000-07:00

I just love the new stripped background folder. I think I will be using that one a lot. This past Christmas card class I ended up using the big shot on 4 of the 5 card designs. I love the dimension they add. This card uses the Heard from the Heart stamp set that I have not used in a very long time. Then the Tags Till Christmas set. I love when I can use the punches to cut out most everything :)

Birthday Calendars

2011-08-04T21:30:00.000-07:00

I made birthday calendars for my family this past year. These are the covers. This was a major product as I made 9 of them if I remember correctly. I will show the individual pages later.

Shimmery Gifts of Christmas

2011-08-03T21:32:00.000-07:00

I used River Rock, Always Artichoke and Real Red Markers to color the stamp. Once the card was completely assembled I used the White Shimmer Paint to color the dove and used some to highlight around the flower images.

Welcome Christmas

2011-08-02T21:21:00.000-07:00

I loved this image when it came out last year that I just had to have it. I don't think I ever used it. The back layer is stamped Crumb Cake on Crumb Cake using the Bella Toile background stamp. The middle layer is the Bells & Bsoughs set - stamping Cherry Cobbler on Very Vanilla. The top layer is stamped with Versamark and then heat empossed with the new Cherry Cobbler embossing powder. I love the way this card turned out :)

Dasher

2011-08-01T21:16:00.000-07:00

I finally got my stamp room moved. I was so missing stamping and spending time sharing with friends. Now that things are moved I will be stamping regularly again :)

I recently did a Christmas Card Class and this was one of the cards that we made. I needed something that was quick and easy as the others were more time consuming. Wew made one in Riding Hood Red and the other in Night of Navy. They turned out great.

Cardstock: Night of Navy, Whisper White

Ink: Night of Navy

Stamps: Dasher

Accessories: Big Shot, Various Ribbons, Dimensionals

Owl Punch

2010-11-14T21:45:00.000-08:00

I saw a post where they use the owl punch to make other things - such as this penguin. I also made this into a 6x6 page for our cookbook club.

Gifts of Christmas

2010-11-13T21:41:00.000-08:00

This card is using the Gifts of Christmas set. Colors are Handsome Hunter and Bravo Burgandy. Trying to use of the last of some of my retired colors. The image is heat embossed.

Lovely As A Tree

2010-11-12T21:35:00.000-08:00

This is the second card we will be stamping this weekend. It uses Lovely As A Tree, Teeny Tiny Wishes, and Christmas Collage.

Sparkly and Bright

2010-11-11T21:30:00.000-08:00

This is one of the cards for this weekends card class. I am trying to make sure to utilize all my stamp sets.

August Cookbook Club

2010-10-19T15:34:00.000-07:00

I belive these pages were from August's Cookbook Club. Found them in my photo's and found they were never posted.

October Cookbook Pages Part 2

2010-10-18T15:03:00.000-07:00

Here are the last 5 pages for this months cookbook club. These 5 were my favorite.

October Cookbook Club Pages Part 1

2010-10-17T14:49:00.000-07:00

Here are the first 5 pages for October's Cookbook Club. I still have a lot of paper to cycle through and trying to use all of my different stamp sets at some point this year. My goal is no unmounted retired stamp sets this year :)

Halloween Owl

2010-10-16T14:37:00.000-07:00

I wanted to inclued a treat in the Halloween Bag that included these chocolate Owl Suckers I made and incorporate the new Owl Punch. Here is what I came up with:

Stamps: Wicked Cool

Paper: Basic Black, RIch Razzleberry, Daffodil Delight

Ink: Basic Black

Accessories: SU Ribbon - retired, various SU Punches

More Halloween Treats

2010-10-16T14:32:00.000-07:00

September Club Card

2010-10-11T19:32:00.000-07:00

This is one fo the cards that we made for September Club. My goal is to cycle through all my stamp sets this year so none make it to the retirement list without being used. This idea was CASED directly out of the Idea Book and Catalog.

Halloween Treats

2010-10-10T19:26:00.000-07:00

These are some of the treats that will go into the Halloween Bag. I cannot seem to get the images and text to line up correctly.

This one is made with the matchbox die. Inside is a Reese PB Cup.

I thought I had enough room to put 2 cookies last time I made these but this time I was only getting one to fit.

This is using one of the tag dies for the Big Shot. Inside is wrapped a laughy taffy.

This is the mini milk carton die. I used velco on the bottom so you don't need to tear apart the package to get to goodies inside.

Trick or Treat Bag

2010-10-09T19:22:00.000-07:00

I wanted to make a Halloween Treat Bag for my honey when he is out on the road. I had a lot of Halloween Paper from 2007 I believe that was already cut up and the perfect size to make the bag. I will fill this with treats and stamp the tissue paper with black bats and leave it in his truck for when he goes out the week before Halloween. I will rephoto the whole project when complete.

Wedding Card

2010-10-08T19:13:00.000-07:00

Kim had a friend who was in need of wedding invitations. She came over and looked at cards and liked the layout of a card I had. From that we created this. Her colors are chocolate chip, pumpkin pie along with other fall colors. I loved the way it turned out. We used this layout for an occasions card class - using Marina Mist with Chocolate Chip and Crushed Curry and Black.

September Cook Book Club Pages

2010-10-07T19:05:00.000-07:00

We do 10 different pages every month. I only got 7 of them photographed. We had a holiday theme this month - focusing on the upcoming holidays.

Delightful Decorations

2010-09-20T03:45:00.000-07:00

The Lovely as a Tree set was used to make the Christmas Tree Branches. The paper colors and ink is Cherry Cobbler and Always Artichoke.

Grateful Greetings

2010-09-19T03:37:00.000-07:00

This is a very simple card using designer series paper, the snowflake punch and a Christmas Sentiment.

Gifts of Christmas

2010-09-18T03:33:00.000-07:00

I copied this card directly from the catalog. The only difference is that I was trying to use up paper I had on hand. So I substituted Kiwi Kiss in place of the Old Olive. I also used Silver Encore Ink. It looks so much better in person :)

Holiday Happiness

2010-09-17T03:23:00.000-07:00

Good things happening in my life which has caused me to put stamping on the back burner. But now I am ready to get back on track and kick things into gear. So let's get ready for the Holidays. This is a card using the new stamp set Holiday Happiness. The designer series paper from Dashing which retired a couple years back. I love this new set - I think the tree is really cute.

Stamps: Holiday Happiness; Season of Joy
Paper: Real Red, Very Vanilla, Old Olive, Dashing
Ink: Real Red, Old Olive, and Daffodil Delight
Accessories: Very Vanilla taffeta ribbon

Name Frames

2010-07-16T23:09:00.000-07:00

My sister-in-laws sister is having her 3rd baby so she asked me about making some name frames for the kids. I talked about some different options and ideas and we decided to go with the cherry wood frames with their names. I love the Sergio name with the new owl punch. I didn't realize I did not put his in the frame to take the picture. These were fun and now I am thinking I should do a Name Frame class and let everyone create their own.

September Banner

2010-07-15T16:00:00.000-07:00

This is the 3rd banner from this round. I was looking at this one and struggled with the lettering in that it is hard to read the F on the pattern papper. I need to cut out Chocolate Chip circles to go behind the letters so the word FALL pops.

August Banner

2010-07-14T23:04:00.000-07:00

This is the banner for August. It just reminds me of times that are bright and sunny. The new Stampin Up ribbons came out at the perfect time.

July Banner

2010-07-13T23:01:00.000-07:00

I really love the way this banner turned out. This is using the Fourth of July stamp set from the current mini. It also uses the new Night of Navy Grosgrain Ribbon and the stripped Real Red ribbon.

Cookbook # 2

2010-07-01T15:41:00.000-07:00

A Good Egg Basket

2010-06-29T23:50:00.000-07:00

This was the last of the Easter projects using the Big Shot. Used the Good Egg flowers to decorate the basket. This was probably my favorite of the Easter containers.

A Good Egg Box # 2

2010-06-28T23:45:00.000-07:00

This was another quick and simple box using the Big Shot and A Good Egg.

A Good Egg Box

2010-06-27T23:40:00.000-07:00

I made some diifferent Easter Boxes using the Big Shot and some paper on hand. Again chocolate and pink - Love it :)

Chocolate Bunny # 2

2010-06-26T23:36:00.000-07:00

This was the second Chocolate Bunny Card. Can't go wrong with Pink and Chocolate :)

Chocolate Bunny # 1

2010-06-25T23:18:00.000-07:00

I was going through my pictures and found several I never posted. I used the Chocolate Bunny stamp for several projects. This was a 5x5 card.

Manly Cards # 5

2010-06-23T22:55:00.000-07:00

Stamps: Totally Tool, Sanded
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Stazon Black
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Creamy Caramel, Whisper White
Accessoreis: Twine, Water Color Crayons, Blender Pens, 1 1/4" Circle Punch, 1 3/8" Cirlcle Punch, Dimensionals

Manly Cards # 3

2010-06-22T22:47:00.000-07:00

This card is made from the stamp set Wanted. I have not used it much and wanted to use it before it retired. This is the only card I used ribbon on with a knot. I still think it works for a masculine card.

Stamps: Wanted

Ink: Chocolate Chip
Accessories: 1/4" Chocolate Chip Grosgrain Ribbon, Large and Small Star Punch, Sponges

Manly Cards # 2

2010-06-21T22:39:00.000-07:00

Accessories: Jumby Eyelets, Dimensionals

Manly Cards # 1

2010-06-20T22:31:00.000-07:00

This past week was working onf cards that were more manly. Was trying to make cards with little to no ribbon, bows, scallops... This card was made with Graphics 49 paper (I think that is what it is called) I got it from one of my merchants. It uses the stamp Sanded and the rest is just paper and hardware.

Princess Invites

2010-06-19T22:24:00.001-07:00

These are the princess invites that I made for my niece Emma's 2nd birthday. Now into Abby's birthday. She will be turning 1. I think I will go with Winnie the Pooh or Minnie Mouse.

Matching Mickey Gift Bag

2010-05-21T12:14:00.000-07:00

I went to Disneyland and picked up Izabella's birthday gift. So I needed a gift bag to wrap it in. I went with the invite theme. Here is the coordinating gift bag and tissue paper. I loved the way they both turned out. Now I am working on Emma's invites. She will get a Princess theme :)

Mickey Birthday Invites

2010-05-21T12:06:00.000-07:00

My sister-in-law asked if I would make the party invitations for my nieces birthday. She has really been into Mickey Mouse lately so it seemed only right to make Mickey invites. This was the final draft.

Well Scripted # 4

2010-02-20T07:00:00.000-08:00

I just love the new Butterfly Sizzlet die. Each butterfly has a different embossed pattern. This is the 4th card for the class.

Well Scripted # 3

2010-02-19T06:31:00.000-08:00

These cards are made with colors I do not use that often. The first is Mellow Moss, So Saffron and Regal Rose. The other card is Basic Gray, Dusty Durango and Barely Banana. I really like the way they both turned out. Card number 3 for the Well Scripted class.

Well Scripted # 2

2010-02-17T06:00:00.000-08:00

These cards use the new Designer Series Paper in the mini. It has lots of fun patterns. Normally I will do 2 identical cards - but this month changing things up a bit where it is an identical design but different colors.

Well Scripted # 1

2010-02-16T06:00:00.000-08:00

I have been working on February's card class and these are 2 of the cards we will be making. We will feature the stamp set Well Scripted along with other fun things from the current mini catalog.

Hello

2010-02-08T17:43:00.000-08:00

Just wanted to post a quick hello. I can't believe I missed all of January. As you can see it has been one of those months. I do see a light at the end of the tunnel where I will have 4 days of no travel coming up starting Friday - yay! I had taken some pictures of club projects and grabbed my camera to download and show them to you while on the road only to find out I have the wrong camera with me. So sorry - no pictures to post today. But come Friday - I will be busy stamping and posting :)

In the meantime - I wish you all happy stamping. I'll b e back soon.

Valentines Treat

2009-12-30T11:24:00.000-08:00

I love the way this one is packaged using Wilton Pretzel Rod bags. This is altered Peppermint Pattieis using Love You Much and the new Valentines wheel from the upcoming mini catalog. I love the polka dot ribbon to top it off.

Love You Much

2009-12-29T11:15:00.000-08:00

I have a lot of the Candy Lane paper as iit was one of my favorites. This is a quick and easy cris-cross card.

Banner Fun

2009-12-28T23:28:00.000-08:00

I really liked the JOY banner for Christmas. My friend Shirley and I discussed the banner and how we would like to have one for every holiday or every month. So the creations started. Here are the first three banners for January/February/March.

These are being offered as a kit on the go for those that would like to make their own set. The kit includes all supplies needed (except adhesive and ink for distressing the letters) to make your own set. Items will be cut and ready for assembly. The kit cost is $20 and includes shipping.

Altered Kit Kat Bar

2009-12-28T11:00:00.000-08:00

Playing with the I {Heart} Hearts set and the new heart punch and embosslet die to alter the Kit Kat bar.

Valentine's Box

2009-12-27T23:04:00.001-08:00

I stated working on some Valentine treats. This is the same box that I altered from Becky's 12 day of Christmas ideas. I also incorporated a couple of the new toys coming out in the new mini. I love the new heart border punch.

Humor in Hight Heels

2009-12-25T06:00:00.000-08:00

When we were looking through stamp sets to decide what to use for more cards and came across this set. I told Angie she needed to use this set for sure - as it was so my sister. So these are the two cards we came up with. I love that we are clearing out some of my DSP scraps.

Stamps: Humor in High Heels

Ink: Stazon Black, Chocolate Chip

Paper: Chocolate Chip, Regal Rose, Whisper Whiite, Melon Mambo, Sweet Always DSP, Melon Mambo DSP

Accessories, Regal Rose 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon, Chocolate Chip 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon, Large Oval Punch, Scallop Oval Punch, Ovals Die, Chocolate Brads (Non-Stampin Up)

Pick A Petal

2009-12-24T06:00:00.000-08:00

This is one of the cards that will go into my sisters Christmas gift. This is the last card that was made using the same layout. Just change the colors and stamps and you have a whole new card. I love Tempting Turquoise and Green Galore together.

Stamps: Pick A Petal, On Your Birthday

Ink: Tempting Turquoise, Green Galore

Paper: Tempting Turquoise, Green Galore, Whisper White, Yo Yo Yellow

Accessories: Organdy Ribbon (Retiried), Crystal Effects

I {Heart} Hearts

2009-12-23T06:00:00.000-08:00

This is the second card I made to use up the extra DSP from the gift tags. I was originally thinking a Christmas Card - because of the red - but then thought - move onto Valentines Day and break out the new sets.

This was a club card this month using the hostess set Snow Buddies. It turned out really cute. this could be an All Occasion Winter Card or a Christmas Card. This was the first time I used the Snowflake Punch. Ended up using that all weekend on several different projects to be posted soon.

Gift Idea

2009-12-18T06:00:00.000-08:00

This is one of the projects that we will be making this weekend. I got this idea off of Natasha's blog as well. When you take an everyday something - and change the packaging - it makes the gift all that more special. In this package I put a bottle of hand sanitizer. You can use any type of tube container - such as M&M mini's...

Paper: Real Red, Old Olive, Very Vanilla, Chocolate Chip, Merry Moments DSP

Ink: Chocolate Chip, Real Red, Garden Green

Stamps: Christmas Punch, Punch Pals

Accessories: Alpine Ribbon, Snowflakes Die, Fire Circle Brad

The More the Merrier Birthday Card

2009-12-17T06:00:00.000-08:00

We loved the Smore's card and the layout was pretty easy to put together so we changed the stamp set, colors and ink and came up with a new birthday card. I love the way this turned out and I know my sister will love it as well. Great job again Angie.

Stamps: The More the Merrier

Paper: Rich Razzleberry, Pale Plum, Whisper White

Ink: Basic Black and Rich Razzleberry

Accessories: White Ribbon, 1 1/4" Square Punch, 1 3/8" Square Punch

Under The Stars Birthday

2009-12-16T06:00:00.000-08:00

We drew names for Christmas this year and my friend Angie got my sister. So for her Christmas gift Angie is going to make her a bunch of cards. This is the first card that Angie made. It is using the Under The Stars set. They are so dang cute that I think we need to make a few more to have on hand. Great job Angie.

Stamps: Under the Stars, Celebrate You? Ink: Stazon Black, Chocolate Chip

Christmas Pictionary

2009-12-15T06:00:00.000-08:00

I got this idea from Natasha who altered an idea she found on Ustamp. I loved how she took the tag older and turned it into Christmas Pictionary. This will be part of the Christmas Gifts class I will be having this weekend. I am looking forward to it :)

This is the box all folded up. It is tied shut with the Alpine ribbon. The ribbon can just slip off to open the game.

This is the inside of the box. Here are the two pockets that will hold all game contents.

This is the "clues" package. It will open up to display the category envelopes with the various clue words.

These are the team notebooks for their drawings. There will also be a game timer and pencils in each package.

Candy Holder

2009-12-14T06:00:00.000-08:00

I got this idea from Becky Roberts who made these as part of her 12 Days of Christmas. These would make great co-worker treats for the holidays.

Flight of the Butterfly Baby Shower

2009-12-13T18:00:00.000-08:00

My sister-in-law had her second baby and I was to give the shower for her. These were the invitations that I made for the shower. I was going to use baby specific stamps, but I had attended the stamping event a couple of weeks back and Kasia showed us a cute album using the butterfly punch as a tab so I had butterflies on the mind. So I made this cute invitation using Flight of the Butterfly and the butterfly tab. I love the way it turned out. I will add other pictures once I find my USP cable :)

Then I got to thinking about the shower. I loved the invitation so much that I decided to design the whole shower around this theme. I used my Halloween Treats class as inspiration as well.

These are the water bottle holders.

This was the treat box that we gave to everyone that attended. Inside the box was a shower gel.

Blog Makeover

2009-12-09T21:32:00.000-08:00

Well it is finally done. My blog went through a makeover during these past couple months. And anyone who knows me personally - knows what a crazy schedule I live so getting help was a must for me. Thanks so much to Heather and Michelle for helping to bring the blog to this stage. I think they did a great job. If you are interested in their services you can find their information here:

Gratitude Notebook

2009-12-09T08:00:00.000-08:00

This is a little Gratitude Notebook or Journal where you can write down the little things we are grateful for. This was quickly created and I think came together well.

Place Setting

2009-12-08T08:00:00.000-08:00

I really loved this project. How cute would these be around the dinner table. I made a Thanksgiving one - and took a piece of designer series paper that I really didn't like to much. That way if I screwed it up - I wouldn't be too sad aboust missing the paper. Quite the opposite - I ended up really liking this paper for this project.

Sweet Centers

2009-12-07T08:00:00.000-08:00

This turkey is made with the Sweet Centers stamp set and Sweet Treats Cups. If I can find the link to the tutorial - I will update this post with the link. Fun Fun!

Melinda's Box

2009-12-06T08:00:00.000-08:00

This was one of my most favorite designer series papers from a couple years ago. I saw it on the cover of the Stampin Up catalog and loved the projects made with it so had to have it. So I got it and there it sat - year after year :) Melinda did a great job of taking this paper and turning it into her box. I love the way it all came together. Great job Melinda!

Rayelyn's Box

2009-12-05T08:00:00.000-08:00

I forget the name of this paper - but it was a Christmas paper. Then she changed it so it was not a Christmas Box. I love the tree and it fit so well with these colors. I think it turned out great. Great job Rayelyn!

Mary's Box

2009-12-04T08:00:00.000-08:00

Mary designed her box for a friends birthday. I wasn't sure how it would look using a Print design of designer series paper - but as it was boming together - I just love it. She chose Soft Sky and Chocolate Chip. Perfect color combinatiion :) Great job Mary!

Playing with Pastels

2009-12-02T20:51:00.000-08:00

For November's club projects we played with the pastel chalks and made the following two cards.

For this first card we used the Lovely as a Tree stamp. For this card we first stamped the tree image in Sahara Sand. Then we used Q-Tips to add the pastels all over the tree - trying to make it as ugly as we could. Once the tree is all colored then use the stamp-a-ma-jig to restamp the tree using chocolate chip or basic brown. You need to be sure the line up the image just right - or it will end up looking like a hologram :)

The technique used for this card was popping pastels. The image is first stamped in Versamark and then using sponge daubers and the pastels - dab the color over the image and the Versamark picks up the color. It is a really pretty affect. I love it with this image. When I originally tried it I used a yellow for the dove - but then a couple people used blue for the dove and I liked that so much more.

Dasher # 3

2009-11-16T18:43:00.000-08:00

This as my most favorite Dasher Card that we made. I love the Bride DSP - as it makes the card look so elegant.

Dasher # 2

2009-11-15T18:38:00.000-08:00

This is the second card we made for the Dasher Class. Soft Suede was probably my least favorite of the new In Colors this year - but sure ended up loving it. Very simple Christmas card to put together.

Dasher

2009-11-14T18:36:00.000-08:00

I had a Dasher Christmas Card class. This is one of the cards that we made for this class. I love the Christmas Cocoa DSP and love how easy these cards were to put together.

Nancy's Box

2009-11-13T18:33:00.000-08:00

Here is Nancy's box. She used her initial and left her cards blank so that se could add a saying for whatever the occasion would be. I really like the Raspberry Tart Paper on this box.

Sandra's Box and Card

2009-11-12T18:27:00.000-08:00

A couple of the ladies designed their box to be more personalized for a gift. Sandra was giving hers to a friend who was having a birthday and added her frieinds initials for a personal touch.

Colleen's Box and Card

2009-11-11T18:21:00.000-08:00

It has been such a busy travel month that I am so far behind on everything - especially posting to my blog. I had a few minutes tonight and thought I would get something out here. Back in October I had a Ladies Midnight where everyone who came learned to make "Becky's Box" with a matching set of 4 cards. They went through my paper and picked out the pieces that they liked and then designed it. They all turned out great. This is Colleen's Fall Box and Card.
