A card from Stampin' Up!

So as most of you probably saw a few post back that I received some great news from Stampin' Up! I was chosen as one of ten to receive the Artisan Award . With this I was invited to have dinner with the CEO Shelli, Amy(the one who made all the calls to tell us we won!) and two concept artist, along with the other 9 winners! Here is the invitation I received in the mail last week! I love the fold they did! Just might be using that idea for club this month!Here is the inside. Thanks for stopping in!

Gift for my mom!

So yes I realize Mother's Day has come and gone:) Although it took me a while to get to it that doesn't mean I love her any less! Here is the shadow box I came up with for my mom. Her favorite color is yellow and I personally can't get enough of the love letter dsp! I used our new pendant punch that will be available in July! Added some ribbon roses, pearls, hearts and of course and picture of my little ones! Hope she likes it! Thanks for stopping by!

End of school

Well last week was Kamili's last day of school. So I made the three teachers for her class ( her main teacher and two aides) I figured the retired summer picnic paper was perfect for the teachers with the all the apples on it! Plus I just love that paper. Here are the three together. I made them all a little different since I only had a few pieces of this paper left. I stamped an apple on the note pad from tart and tangy-this set will be retiring the end of June. There is also a cute 3x3 card with the apple stamped inside those envelopes you see :) I guess I forgot to take a picture of those.

Also for Kamili's class the other room mom was putting together a scrapbook for the teacher. She asked if we could all make a double page layout of our kid. Kamili picked out the colors and this is what I came up with. Nothing fancy but it worked. (Sorry the picture is so dark)

Have a great day! See you tomorrow!

Life....Big news, and project and our newest family member!

So SURPRISE SURPRISE...I have been busy. I swear I have the best intentions, but some how my little ones seem to keep trumping blogging!?! Anyways I have A LOT to share, so I figured I better get started!

Well Two weeks ago last Thursday I received a VERY EXCITING phone call from Stampin' Up! I was selected to be one of the 2011 Artisan Award winners!!! For those of you who are not demos, it is Stampin' Up!'s big "ART" contest that judges 10 items you enter(2: 3-d, 3 scrap book pages, and 5 cards) It is a huge honor and I am pretty excited. As some that know me well, seem to wonder a little about my excitement level since it has taken me over two weeks to post it, but really that shows how crazy work has been:) So as I find out more details and can share more, I will!

On to stampin'....

Today was the last day of Kamili's Preschool and so I decided to make a little smores kit for each of the kiddos to kick off the summer! Here is a few of the girls ones I did, you can see the boys ones below in the basket. The kids seemed to really like them. Hope you do to!So to add to my craziness, we decided to bring a new addition to the family!

Meet little miss Feather! Isn't she a cutie! We have been enjoying our newest addition. The kids hang out with her till they go to sleep and ask for her the minute they get up! She is a little lover! Purring like a motor!
