Elegant Thank You

TGIF! I was up late last night working in my craft room and on the computer. I was trying to catch up with e-mails and Stampin' Up! business. The Sale-A-Bration starts Sunday & people are getting ready to take full advantage of the sale, including me!

My creation today is a bright one! The patterned paper is from SU! Designer Series Paper called Raspberry Tart. It's new in the catalog and the picture does not do the colors justice. It's so pretty! I combined it with felt flowers, silver brads, and the Elegant Thank You stamp from SU! In the new catalog, SU! has started selling single stamps on page 208. This one caught my eye because it's simple and elegant.

Any plans for the weekend? Football maybe? We were invited to a Super Bowl party. I'm not a big fan of football so whoever wins is fine by me. My husband is a Steelers fan, so he is very excited!

Have a wonderful Friday!!!

Love You Much

My life has changed! One of the things I enjoy most about the morning is getting up before everyone else (6am) and having my coffee. It's peaceful, quiet, and it's all about me! Not anymore! Since last Thursday or Friday, my son has decided to wake up before anyone else and come wake me up! How in the world does a 3 yr old know to wake up 5:45-6am just before I'm out of bed?

He also told me this morning he wants a brother! We won't even go there. No way, no how, no! I love him to death, but one is plenty!

Speaking of love, there is only about 1 1/2 weeks left to order the Love You Much Bundle from Stampin' Up! I used the stamps and punches from that Bundle, and my favorite die - SU! Top Note Die, to create this V-Day card. I distressed the card edges with SU! Chocolate Chip ink and inked up the stamps in SU! Real Red. I think it's a neat shape for a card!

So have you looked at the new products Stampin' Up! is offering from the Spring-Summer catalog? I'll be sharing my favorites with you in the weeks to come!

Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!

XOXOXO

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
Designer Series Paper: Candy Lane
Cardstock: Pink Pirouette, Real Red
Ink: Real Red, Close to Cocoa
Punches: Scallop Edge, Word Window
Pink Ribbon
Real Red Brads

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!

Happy Birthday To You - With a Cherry on Top!

The holidays have passed, but my tree is still up. Is anyone else in the same boat as me? I hope to tear everything down tomorrow. It's not as exciting as putting it up. Oh well. It's gotta be done!

I decided to take a break from the Valentines Day cards. I needed to make a card for a friend at work who has a birthday on Monday and Stampin' Up! Crazy for Cupcakes stamp set was calling my name! It's just perfect for birthday cards.

I thought the cute little cherries on top of the cupcakes matched the SU! Summer Picnic Designer Series Paper perfectly! It's a little hard to see in the picture, but I used white Fun Flock for the icing on my cupcakes. Just a little something different to add texture.

We are just weeks away from the release of the Stampin' Up! Spring/Summer 2009 catalog! I've seen some previews, and it's going to be great! If you would like me to reserve a copy of the catalog for you, just drop me an e-mail at tiffanymiller1@verizon.net.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and thank you for stopping by!
