Happy Valentine's Day!

Hello Everyone! I absolutely love Valentine's Day! I think it is all the ♥♥♥hearts♥♥♥ because I {heart} hearts! The funny thing is I am NOT a pink person. At all! So for the most part I stick to the red in Valentine's Day!

So for the pictures...

I made the kids giant pixie sticks for Valentine's Day. Here are the four of them together...two are for my kids and two are for my niece and nephew. Simple, but cute, since the kids could care less about the decoration on it, they just want the candy!

Then I got a request from my husband...or maybe it was a request from me when he told me he was going to hallmark to buy 5 valentines day cards!!! I stepped in a volunteered my services(but I told him he still had to buy me one) So here they are! And up close you can see I used the new Chocolate chip epoxy brads, the medium jewelery tag punch, the full heart punch, layered on the scalloped heart embosslit cut out, the paper is Sending Love DSP, Card stock colors are chocolate chip, pretty in pink, real red, and very vanilla. The sets I used are I {heart} hearts, Tiny Tags and boho blossom background.

Neighborhood Workshop

With all the exciting stuff I learned at Leadership, I have decided to throw a workshop at my home for my neighborhood. Here is a picture of the invite I am handing out to the women on our street. I hope they can all make it!

I'm Back!

Hi Guys;

Well as some of you know I attended Stampin' Up! Leadership this past week. Let me tell you...it was great! If you have the chance to ever attend it is well worth the trip! Now I have set my goals on becoming a Manager level demonstrator so I can attend the Managers reception they throw there.

The conference was full of great business advice, tons of networking and idea...and of course STAMPING!!! Here are the make-n-take projects we got to make!

And a close up of the scrapbook page.

I am so excited about my business now and can't wait to get it off and running!

Have a happy stampin day.

Paper Pal Arts Challege

OK so to any of you who know me...I don't do challenges. Not because I don't like the idea, but because I just never see any until it is to late... So here goes one:) I saw it on Mary Fish's blog so I thought I would try. We are do a swap in my moms down line group and I am using this set....Fox and Friends, it's new in January from stampin' up! I also used a current SU! set A little birthday cheer. For the colors, it was the challenge colors...Old Olive, Crushed Curry, and Soft Suede, with a little very vanilla! Forgive the lighting as it was 4:15 in the morning and pitch black out when I took this! (this baby wants me up right now!) So that is why it looks dark.

Sercret Stamping Sister

Each year the crazy stamping ladies do a Secret Stamping Sister through out the year. This year I had the greatest time making Kathy some gifts! I wish I had planned ahead and taken pictures of what I made...I will check with the group to see if anyone else did:) Anyways last Saturday was our party where we said who we had. Here is what I had made for Kathy!

Here is the entire gift. Here is the holiday organizer I made...inside and outAnd the hat, gloves and scarf that I attached our retired felt flurries on!

November Stamp Club

Hi Everyone! Here are some pictures of the projects we did at my November stamp club. Here is the card option. The paper is Bella Blue, card stock is not quite navy, kraft, and very vanilla, and the set used was Serene Snowflakes. Everything is Stampin Up Product.

Here is the card again, with the scrapbook page option.

Then the second project we did was a hot cocoa holder. Card stock is Chocolate chip, whisper white, and real red. The bear from the cold and cuddly set was stamped in bashful blue. We finished it off with a bit of shimmer paint!
