Just For You

Remember the Stampin' Up! Sweet Pea Designer Paper collection last year? It was such a generous collection of papers that I still have some laying around. It's always good to use up the old stuff to make room for the new.

In a couple hours I'm off to take my son to the Justin Bieber movie (or pronounced "Beaver" if you're my son). He just loves him and I think I will live through it. It's definitely an outing Just for Him!

Enjoy and happy stamping!

A Thought Away

Does is feel like Spring yet? The buds are out and before you know it, you'll see flowers like the one on my card. Can't wait!

The Stampin' Up! patterned paper is from Welcome Neighbor (past Sale-A-Bration) for the flower and Sweet Pea (Occasions Mini) for the background.

I created the flower using the Stampin' Up! Extra Large Fancy Flower punch and a couple of flowers from the Flower Fusion collection. I wish I could tell you where the extra wide ric-rac is from, but it's been in my stash for a long time.

Have fun and happy stamping!

Butterflies

I was very excited to use the new Stampin' Up! Embosslits Die, Beautiful Wings. This die was on backorder for awhile because it was so popular! I only used one little butterfly, the pink one, on this card. I'll be sharing more creations with you in the near future with other butterflies from this collection. This die includes four butterflies of various sizes and embossed designs.

The Beautiful Wings die coordinates perfectly with the Stampin' Up! set Flight of the Butterfly. All the stamped images on this card are from this set. It's a pretty stamp set to make fun & cheerful cards during the Spring & Summer season.

The past few days have been filled with sunshine here in PA. What a great mood lifter! Brandon has been playing outside every day and loving it. Pretty soon we'll be teaching him how to ride a two wheeler. Watch out!

I hope you are having a great week filled with lots of sunshine! Have fun & happy stamping!!!!

Hello Spring!

Spring is coming! We are supposed to hit 40-45 degrees today - heat wave. Hee hee.

I made this little card to send to someone who needed a little pick-me-up. Life can be rough sometimes and I just wanted her to know I care and wish her the best!

You can check out the inside of the card pictured to your right. Stampin' Up! always has a perfect saying for every occasion.

Enjoy your weekend and happy stamping!

Sweet One

This was my first time using the new Stampin' Up! 2 Step Bird Punch. What fun! These new style of punches work with such ease. What I love about this punch is you get the leafy branch, bird, and a separate wing to customize your creation however you choose. You could punch out your bird on patterned paper and make a wing in a coordinating solid color. This punch has been a hot seller for Stampin' Up! Hopefully we'll see more styles of this sort in the near future!

The birds won't be singing here in Pennsylvania for awhile. We are getting another snow storm tonight & into tomorrow. Yuck! It's already snowing out there now. We are due to get about a foot of snow! At least tomorrow is Friday. I haven't worked in my craft cave all week. It was just one of those weeks where something was going on every night. By the time I had any free time, it was time for bed. If I could just figure out how to manage on less sleep. I am one of those people that needs 7-8 hours to feel good the next day. I'm jealous of those that can function on 5 hours sleep. Oh, the creations I could make with that extra time! I'm yawning as I type.

Off to bed. Good night and happy stamping this weekend!
