Please vote for me!

At the last minute last night I decided to enter a card for the Practical Scrappers card contest.   This one is American Idol style with eliminations.    I got an email today saying that I was in the top 20!   Woo Hoo!
I'll need some votes to keep on going.  Please go to www.practicalscrappers.com  to vote.  I'm in group #1.

I made this card for my niece, Annabella.  She's turning 3 today!  What the card photo doesn't show on the Practical Scrapppers site is that it's a card and a gift.  I made a removeable flower hair clip and it's clipped right onto the card.

I love seeing the UPS truck...

actually I didn't see the truck, but when I came home from work on my lunch break I was pleasantly surprised to see my Stampin' Up! order two whole days early!    I ran down to my craft studio and put together this simple Christmas card (the ribbon I had and may still be available on clearance)
I was dying to try the new oval embossing folder and the new Designer Series paper called Holly Berry Bouquet.  The Christmas Tree stamp is from the Pennant Parade stamp set - not just for pennants!

This card will be part of a the Pennant Parade Card Class by Mail that I will be offering soon.  I'm trying to get that ready for October shipping.  More details to follow.

Stampin' Up! 2011-2012 Sneak Peak

As soon as I got my new issue of Papercrafts magazine I new I had to recreate a card on the cover with my new Petite Pennants Builder Punch and Pennant Parade stamp set. I also used a brand new color card stock called Pool Party - love it!

So here's my version...


and the magazine cover...

Stampin' Up! - The Open Sea

Here's a card I made using the new stamp set The Open Sea from the Stampin' Up! Summer mini catalog. By using a wavy flag-like sentiment and the loose baker's twine you can achieve a feeling of movement, like movement on the sea. I'm having a lot of fun with the new Baker's Twine. It comes in Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso and white and it's easy on the wallet at only @2.95 for 25 yards! I love it.
