FYI . . .

Create a card using your Stampin' Up! Bigz Dies! I used the Stampin' Up! Scallop Square Bigz Die to create this card. All you need to do is cut out two scallop squares. Score 1/2" on one edge of one square. Fold it inwards and attach it to the other scallop square. See the indentation on my card pictured above. E-mail me if you have any questions.

You could also make cards out of the Stampin' Up! Top Note and Scallop Circle die. Give it a try this week and let me know how you do!

Not many of you could resist the Extra Large Two-Step Bird punch in the current Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini Catalog. Who could blame you? I gave my bird a little Bella Bleu wing to match the pattern on his birdhouse.

Have a great day & happy stamping!

Happy Wednesday! It's a good thing to clean and sort through your supplies this time of year. I was looking at all my SU! sets and forgot that the set Fundamental Phrases had "XOXOXO" in it! It's perfect for a Valentine! In the spot where the "O" is, I added little red brads. They fit perfectly into the space. The card is pretty self-explanatory, but if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to e-mail me.

All Supplies for this card by Stampin' Up (unless otherwise noted):
Stamps: Love You Much, Fundamental Phrases

My son is such a character lately. First of all, he is still not completely potty trained yet. He will go on his own for the sitter all day, but when he is with Mom & Dad he will go most of the time, but not always. If anyone ever heard of this please let me know! It's crazy!

On a more positive note, he loves to cook! A dream come true for me! As soon as I start cooking dinner he runs in with his stool and stands near the countertop waiting to stir or dish out something. A couple days ago I let him tear up the lettuce for salads and put it in the bowls. He was in heaven. Last night, he got to dish out the applesauce. He thought he was so great! Age 3 appears to be all about independence. The more he can do on his own, the happier he is.

Enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by!
