Well, it's been over a year

I guess it's time to make a couple cards. :) They are from a Becky & Lisa Kit but I made the label for the blue cards from a SU! stamp and punch.

More Wedding Cards

Pearl and silver paper & satin ribbon by Yours Truly. Flower jewels from Hero Arts. Cake is made with the Cuttlebug embossing folder.

You're Sweet

A Valentine's card I made for a swap. Caramel apple stamp and label punch from SU! Gooey punch from Martha Stewart. Used red stickles and crystal lacquer on the apple.

Girls Night Out

I had so much fun last night at our Girls Night Out. My Stampin' Up! demonstrator organized a time for all of us to get together, have dinner, and do swaps. Half of us brought swaps and the other half did shoebox swaps. It worked out well since there were 13 of us there. I don't think we would have had time for 13 projects. We had so much fun that we've decided to do it every month.

Here are the swaps I received (minus mine). I decided to go with the little lion baby bib (two posts down). I'm missing the one from my demonstrator friend, Deana, because I gave it to my sister-in-law last night for a birthday card. It was a cute little fold out picture wallet, and I put three $5 behind each photo slot.

I can't wait to do it again next month!

Baby Onesie Card

I'm going to a Stampin' Up! event where we we're doing a shoebox swap this weekend. I only have a couple of sets (besides alphabets) that are current SU! sets. This one is called Wild About You. I need some "For Baby" cards/tags so I came up with a couple of ideas. This is the first one:

Baby Bibs

Here is the second idea I have for my shoebox swap.

My Favorite Color Combo

While going through my cards, I realized I really like to use the colors Perfect Plum, Pale Plum, and Mellow Moss together. What do you think? I just love how soothing these colors are.

Seasonal Thank You Cards

I've been reviewing some of the cards I've made over the years. It was fun to go through them so I thought I'd share them on my blog. They are separated by category in the following posts. They have all different supplies and mostly stamps from Stampin' Up! and The Angel Company.

Golfing with Daddy

Finally, I get to scrapbook today (not clean or go to Wal-Mart or some other stupid thing). I'm finishing up some May 2007 layouts then I will have my daughter's Spring 2007 album finished. Yay!

Paper from Scrapbook Castle. Stamps are Stampin' Up!

What Makes You Happy???

Dang it to heck if scrapbooking just makes me so darn happy! Sometimes I wish I didn't have this addiction but other times, I'm glad. Today I'm glad.

It's a slow day at work and while the boss was out to lunch, I made this page. I just love the bright colors and the way it all came together. Sorry the pic is a little blurry and it really just doesn't do the rhinestone circle stickers justice, but it is pretty in real life.

Been playing with my new toys...

I bought a Cuttlebug embossing folder the other day, and it has been so much fun to play with. Even my six-year-old daughter is fascinated with it, and it really is easy enough for a six-year-old. I love that it fits in my Big Shot along with my new Cookie Cutter scallop dies from Quickutz.

I really need to get a new stamp to go in my scallop circle but for now, I'm still using the little snowflake from the Stampin' Up! retired Lace Snowflakes. The Christmas stamp is from the TAC set called Holiday Magic.

P.S. Sorry about the streaks on my scanner. It looks like I got some adhesive on it and it needs to be cleaned.

Getting into the Spirit

Got some new cartridges for these wheels I've had since last year and started playing around. This is a retired set from Stampin' Up! called Sparkling Season.

I was inspired to use my new Scallop Quickutz cookie cutter dies too. Did you know those work in the Big Shot??? Yup.

These are simple but fun. I always need Christmas thank you notes for unexpected gifts and parties. I hope you like them.
