Delightful Decorations

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

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

Gifts of Christmas

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

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

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

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

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.
