Courage
Hello my friends. Back from vacation and sad b/c I miss my family as we had such a great time. Wish they lived closer. A good friend of mine moved with your family to Japan (as her husband is in he military) and before she moved, I gave her this courage stamp set and made a few sample cards for her so she could start stamping in Japan and hopefully become a SU demo there. I found the idea for this card on-line and cased it a bit. Made a few changes but love the look of this card. This was prefect for Sherry as she can make many of these cards for friends and other soldiers. I used the watercolor technique (squeezing your ink pad so it puts ink on the back of the stamp pad and then use your watercolor pen and color. An easy way to give images a light clean look. Love and miss you Sherry…. Enjoy my friends.

Happy Monday my friends.. not really happy as its my first day back from vacation.. but we had a blast. My nephews are so fun and such great kids. It was a fun week. Now back to reality.. boo hoo. The attached card I made from a pdf card set I bought from IIrina cruise – here is the site and info on the box and cards under the tutorial. http://ilinacrouse.blogspot.com/2010/07/growing-green-box-and-card-set.html. She is very talented and makes very cute tutorials to share. I love that all the SU demos share stuff with each other. Helps to continue our business and helps it grow too. I used the stamp from the Greenhouse Garden set. The paper is Elegant Soiree.
Puns from the Past
Happy Friday my friends. I am bummed as this is the last day of our vacation and the day the boys and family go home.. boo hoo. We have had such a wonderful time we are going to miss them so much. Today’s card is the last picture of the cards I made at my upline Gail Reed’s July SAS. Is this not the cutest card ever. I never thought of buying or even using stamps from this set called “Puns form the Past” but after making this card.. I gotta have it.. heeee. I love the colors and the design. Gail did a great job. It was a very fun SAS and I got some great card samples out of it. Have a great weekend my friends.

Butterfly Box and Cards
Happy Friday my friends. I am so excited as my nephews (Jack 12 and Ben 10) and their parents arrive tonight from Wash DC for a weeks visit. My hubby and I are excited as we are also on vacation and can’t wait to do all the fun things we have planned like Disney, Wild Animal Park, Legoland, Navy Ship in down town SD, and more… We are going to have a blast but know the week will go by fast. That’s always the case when you are vacation right? Bummer. Today’s project is the card box and cards I gave away to my girls as door prizes at the August SAS. I made 1 for the Friday night girls (which is the first picture) as I only had 3 stampers that night and then made 3 (second picture) for the Saturday girls as I had more there. If they did not win the main door prize, then the won either paper or a paper, pen, ink and refill set. So fun door prizes. I have so much retired stuff left I thought I would give it away to share with others. The card and boxes are the first door prizes to go, so this will be my tradition at each event. They are so fun to make. Enjoy my friends and don’t miss me too much next week. I will try to post but not sure I can. Have a great weekend.
Greenhouse Gala Toppers
Hello my friends. Only 2 more days and I am on vacation.. yippee.. can’t wait. Today’s project is another thank you gifts I made the girls that came to my August SAS. Again, I bought these foot nail kit at Michaels in the dollar bin and then decided to use our new Greenhouse Gala Designer Paper from the SU 2010-2011 Catalog as a topper for the gifts. I also used the new In-Color ribbons in Peach Parfait and Pear Pizzazz. Fun gifts and cute too. The girls loved them. Don’t forget to check back tomorrow when I post the card box and cards the girls won as the huge door prize.. too cute to miss. Have a great day.
3 X 3 Note cards
Hello my friends and happy hump day? I am so excited, only 3 more days until my weeks vacation with my husband’s family. His brother’s family is coming town for Wash DC for a weeks vacation to sunny SD. So we are looking forward to their visit and spending time with them all. My nephews are 10 and 12 and great boys, so we will have fun. Today’s project is another Thank you gift I made the girls for coming to my August SAS. Ok so I did not make these items. I bought the cute 3 x 3 cards and envelopes at Michaels (in their dollar bins) and just put ribbon on them. A quick and easy gift. Sometimes you have to do that to save time and I did. The girls loved them anyway and then they got a new ribbon to use. Have a good day my friends. Until next time.
