Simple Asian Artistry

Today I am featuring a "guest" artist. Kristin, one of my friends and team members, made this card. I had to share it because it is beautiful! This is a wonderful example of using your markers to color in your stamp! She used the Hostess stamp set, Asian Artistry and colored with our markers before she stamped and added the sentiment. In the picture it is hard to see but she added some texture with the Big Shot and some texturz plates on the Old Olive card stock. She used the plate that looks like wood and in this case, like bamboo. Thanks for sharing Kristin!

Lollipop Valentine

This lollipop cover was a project we made at my Valentine Treat Class. It is such a simple project and can be changed and used for any occasion. We used Rose Red card stock, ink and ribbon. We used the new Very Vintage Jumbo wheel in Chocolate Chip for the background rolled onto Whisper White. We used the Love you Much stamp set and used the Scallop Circle punch as well as 2 other circle punches to do the "label". We layered that and attached it with dimensionals.

Life is all about Moments

I am loving the Definitely Decorative (Definitely Decorative Insert link) line that Stampin' Up! has to offer. I added this quote to my kitchen wall with some family pictures. I love how it turned out. I have had people go and feel the wall because they think I painted it. It was so easy.

May Cause Extreme Excitement



This is a purely Stampin' Up! post. My upline, Rene, brought back this Decor Element for me from Leadership! It is the perfect fit for my new business computer!

I got an order in and look at the box! I was laughing but it is so true. I wonder what the UPS workers think of these boxes. We might make stampers out of them yet.

Fabric Flower Folds Pins Galore!

I was having FUN making fabric pins with the flower folds die. However, I am not a sewer so when I saw Christy Daugherty's great video about doing it with a glue gun I was hooked.

Scrappin' Luggage


Kristin, one of my downline members found a template for this scrappin' luggage. She made it larger so it would fit 4 x 6 pictures without much trimming. I copied her sample and made my own. I LOVE it. I am planning on adding pictures of my stamp room renovation. I got to use my new favorite Designer Series Paper, Sweet Pea, to finish it off.
