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!

Get Well Wishes

Have you been bitten by the flu bug this season? Thankfully, I have not! I do know a lot of people that had the flu this season. Get well cards have been flying off my craft table! Although I love cards with all kinds of layers and embellishments, I also like the clean & simple look. Sometimes less is more.

Stampin' Up! Teeny Tiny Wishes is by far my #1 choice for a stamp set of sentiments. It's got everything! I use it and reference it over and over in my blog posts because it's one of those sets you'll always use and never tire of. The "get well wishes" is from this set and the black stamped image is from the set Always. I used a piece of patterned paper from the Welcome Neighbor Designer Series Paper Pad you can receive FREE with any $50 Stampin' Up! purchase (Sale-A-Bration). Gotta love FREE stuff!

Have you been watching the Olympics? I just can't believe the strength these athletes have. The other night I was watching the speed skiing and it was just painful watching all that pressure they must feel in their knees. Yikes! I tried downhill skiing once. I didn't even make it down half the bunny hill. I fell so much I could barely move the next day. Needless to say, once was enough!

I'll stick with my cozy little craft room stamping my little heart out!

Scrapping!

I'm almost finished with my first 6x6 scrapbook album! I've never done any this small. I usually do the 12x12 ones. I think I enjoy the 6x6 more because you are more limited by the amount of pictures and embellishments. It's so much quicker!

I am especially proud of this album for two reasons. First, it's the first book I've completed using all Stampin' Up! products. Secondly, it's a book filled with all my favorite pictures of Brandon photographed alone. This book is just all about him! I know I will enjoy looking at it over and over again.

The page photographed at the top of this post was created using a sheet from the Stampin Up Welcome Neighbor Designer Series Paper Pad which you can receive FREE from the Sale-A-Bration flyer. I also used stamps from three different collections. The complete list of supplies can be found at the bottom of this post.

I am so glad tomorrow is Friday. TGIF! I can't wait to stamp some more this weekend and finish my album. Fun, fun, fun!

Have a good one!
