Brick Technique with Thoughts and Prayers


A couple of weeks ago, SCS posted a brick technique that I thought was quite neat. Here is my version using the Thoughts and Prayers stamp set and the Night and Day Paper.

So Thankful!


Thanksgiving for me this year was wonderful as all three of our children were home for the holiday. (Even though they are all 20 somethings, it is still hard NOT to call them kids.)I hope you all had a very restful and happy day yesterday. I know I did. Enjoy your holiday weekend.

Circles, Circles and More Circles


Wow! Old Olive is a little bright here. I should have fixed it when I was in Photoshop, but you get the idea. Circles punches out then our new Ornament punch with Delightful Decorations and some Merry Moments Designer Series Paper. The sentiment is from Four the Holidays.

Just a simple monogrammed card using Night and Day Designers Series Paper. I used the Lovely Letters alphabet in Pumpkin Pie.

Decor Elements on Computer?!


Here is a quick and easy laptop makeover. So of course you've seen our new decor elements in our catalog- maybe you've even clicked on the link to the left- our new decor elements line is simply to die for.

Do you rent your home?

Sending a child to college and want them to have a "wow" room?

Living in government quarters?

This is the perfect product for you! Decorate simply, easily and affordably. All you have to do is rub the vinyl on the wall for a full size, beautiful decoration. When you move (change your mind or your mood?), easily peel it off and discard. It really is that easy! We also have those cute little family members for your car window!

Sneak Peak Tease!

Oh my goodness!!! Yesterday, Stampin' Up! posted the Occasions Mini Catalog and then Sale-a-bration Catalog and the new Definitely Decorative Brochure online for demonstrators to view. I can't tell you anything about it except that they all start on January 5th for customers. If you're a demonstrator though, you get to pre-order goodies from these catalogs in just two weeks, on December 1st! And of course, as a demonstrator, you get a discount on your order. I love being a demonstrator!!

If you've been thinking about it, but haven't taken the plunge yet, join my group now, and you'll have immediate access to viewing these catalogs and can be one of the first to get these new products when you pre-order next month. Sign up under me by November 30th and I'll send you a selection of my favorite new products after I pre-order next month. Okay, enough teasing about the new stuff. I know you're gonna love it and can't wait for you to see it to!

What To Do With Those Window Sheets?


Those window sheets are not just for making cards. You can put them through the Big Shot and make cute little gifts for folks on your holiday list. These window sheets are from the Night and Day Designer Series Paper. I wrapped Hershey Nuggets with some of the paper from the set and cut some cute tags with the Ornament Punch.
Hope you like?

I LOVE Dasher!




















I think the single stamps that Stampin' Up! carries are wonderful to create very simple yet elegant cards when paired with our Designer Series Paper.

I embossed Dasher onto Real Red cardstock and layered that onto Very Vanilla cardstock. I also embossed some smaller images from Delightful Decorations in the corner with white embossing powder. Designer Series Paper strips were added from Merry Moments.

Upsy Daisy


















While I like Fall, I absolutely LOVE Spring. I made this card a while ago and wanted to show Melon Mambo with Pumpkin Pie.
I embossed the Upsy Daisy right onto the base cardstock and added some Razzleberry Lemonade DSP along with our Organza Ribbon.

Another Sparkly and Bright


I simply can't believe that it is the start of November already. I was in my studio this weekend and really wasn't focused enough to play and take pictures.

I received my Stampin' Success and liked the layout of a card on it. I changed it up a little bit and used the Sparkly & Bright stamp set.

Another 6 x 6 Scrapbook Layout and Matching Card

Here is another scrapbook page and matching card that I did for my son. Again, as in the other layouts here and here, I used the colors of the backgrounds in the pictures to drive the colors of the layouts.

My son, who is 20, was 5 when this picture was taken at a local park called Webb Mountain.

The stamp set used is Trendy Trees and the color of the cardstock is Kraft and Dusty Durango
