I'm not sure what happened with this photo... but this was made with a Paper Pumpkin kit from Stampin' Up. I filled Mason jars with Hershey kisses and added some cute ribbon. The pinwheels are easy to re-create by cutting 4" squares and cutting from each corner into the 1" point of center Then fold each cut back and secure with a glue dot. Attach to a paper straw with a brad. So fun!Angiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08215929570611057711noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-282276899431798471.post-73989932533966106072015-03-13T09:54:00.001-07:002015-03-13T09:54:09.127-07:00Hellloooooo!

I made this last summer for Ashley's birthday. I cased it from Pinterest and can't find the designer...but I love the layout! <br /><br />Angiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08215929570611057711noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-282276899431798471.post-31016143306295842382015-03-13T09:12:00.002-07:002015-03-13T09:12:24.705-07:00Here comes Peter cottontail....<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In real life it is b-e-a-utiful! I used the embedded embossing technique with the Flowers- from the flower fusion sizzix die, and stamped the scooter from the On the Grow summer mini set onto Beyond the Garden DSP. The sentiment says "each day is the perfect adventure". Here's a close up of the scooter.....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uRZLvUk40vo/TdLNTD4o1kI/AAAAAAAAAJY/PDu8xOvllJg/s1600/close+up+of+scooter.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" j8="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uRZLvUk40vo/TdLNTD4o1kI/AAAAAAAAAJY/PDu8xOvllJg/s400/close+up+of+scooter.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>I used a gem for the headlight....I would love to cruise around town on this scooter! lol<br />

Next swap card is using Sunny Fun also from the summer mini.<br />

I can't wait to play with the other two. Ashley's graduation party is this Sunday, and Chelsea is getting sealed in the Vancouver temple June 18th so I have been busy designing and making invites and planning for the parties. So fun- but also lots of work : ) I am so happy for both of my girls.

I started this card for a swap last month with the theme being Occasions Mini and Saleabration. We had to use new things on our cards. So Everything got stamped, cut out, layered and ribbons on, but I didn't finish assembling because the threading of the 5 pennants (per card) onto hemp twine became too much. So- I am now going to finish them with H-A-P-P-Y on the banners and add a little tag that says birthday and use them for this months swap with a birthday theme. Sometimes I am too ambitious for my own good. lol Anyway- The new items are the cupcake punch and the red glitter paper (used for the little cherry!) The stamp sets are Party This Way and Flexible Phrases, I love the 1 1/4" striped grosgrain ribbon from Stampin'Up and the designer buttons (here in pumpkin pie). They look like lifesavers to me, almost good enough to eat. So-I have till the 21st of this month to get those little buggars threaded onto the hemp twine.

It is so stinkin' cute! You can see her blog at <a href="http://www.stuffbycarol.blogspot.com/">http://www.stuffbycarol.blogspot.com/</a> She used Garden Gala DSP and daffodi delight, Poppy Parade, Pear Pizzazz, and Peach Parfait CS. She used the cute little jewelry tag punch and coordinating tiny tags stamp set, square fire rhinestone and whipser white brads, the two-step bird punch, beautifl wings embosslit, birds and blooms flower pieces, 5 petal flower punch, scallop punch, daffodil delight satin ribbon, and probably some die for the large green 6 petal flower, but I don't know what it is....any ideas?<br />
I love it! AND I appreciate her taking time to make me such an awesome gift. I think I will use the tags, but probably replace them as I do... I know. I am a hoarder of all things beautiful. lol But, luckily I am extremely organized and purge regularly so I don't overwhelm my craft room.

This is one of four cards I completed for a mini-occasions and sale-a-bration swap with 20 Stampin Up! demonstrators. We each made 4 cards, 20 each...kept one set and received 76 more in the swap... So fun!<br />
deets:<br />
Love defined stamp set, cherry cobbler CS and seam binding, Crumb Cake CS, Scalloped heart sizzlet, white craft ink and white embossing powder, the heart edge punch from SU/Fiskars. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ouiKkuRjDUU/TU3zXdHEIBI/AAAAAAAAAHA/swZZd63c9S8/s1600/102_0285.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" h5="true" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ouiKkuRjDUU/TU3zXdHEIBI/AAAAAAAAAHA/swZZd63c9S8/s320/102_0285.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>In a couple of months we have a swap coming up for our Simply Adorned charm inserts. I bought the medium size...1" x 1 1/4". I thought I'd play with my Clearly For You stamp set (from the occasions mini) and see what I could come up with. This is very simple, but I like it. I just had to have those raspberries! I put this on a piece of Crumb Cake seam binding and it worked great. The chains are cool, but I thought the seam binding went better with the "mood" of the insert. What do you think?<br />
<br />
We are still colder than normal and the snow piles aren't going away, but I know Spring is coming...I'm sure its coming...It will definitely be here in a couple of months....<br />
Stay warm!<br />

The finished product actually had a yellow frame around the happy birthday sentiment...hmmm.. maybe I'll replace this pic later and show you the real deal. It adds a bit of pizazz....Lattice EF was used againa nd that cute skinny daffodil delight ribbon.

How did that happen???? Anyway- she likes blue and brown together so i tried to incorporate her colors. I also used the new Stampin Up builder wheels on this one. Loving those! Some DSp, some embossed blue paper with the new lattice EF, and some cute new skinny ribbon and ...lots of coloring. I am usually not into a lot of coloring, but I think this came out cute. : ) The edge punch is from Martha. Had to have it.

Does it help to know I've been busy finishing up my master's and doing an internship??? At all? Oh well, I will attempt to make it up to you with some awesome cards....I made these two for the 4th of July- just wanted to play with some red , white and blue and use the embossing folder on some metal sheets I had waiting to be used. I used the new builder wheels on the Left card, and a SU jumbo wheel on the Right card.

They were a big hit and they actually USED them! The supplies are simple- just a regular manilla file folder, with each side scored in half. The middle score is already there. Fold on the score lines accordion style, so you will actually fold the score lines you made toward the center fold. You then score along the whole folder 3 3/4" from the bottom and fold this up. this will form your pockets. On the inner front cover I decorated and then stapled in a pile of shopping list sheets with lines that you can tear off and take with you. The gift list pages have 4 names per page, and include spots for Name, Size, Ideas, and a box to check when that person is completed. Under these sheets is a pocket for coupons, made by the folded up bottom of the file. Next page is the Christmas card list, and the last page is a pocket for receipts. you can keep your receipts in one place to keep track of spending. I again used pretty paper and stickers to decorate. I put adhesive between the back folds (along the "spine" to keep it from flopping all the way open.) I also ran ribbon from about an inch in under the front and back covers so i could tie the folders shut. This is an inexpensive project and makes a nice gift for yourself or friends and family. I handed mine out last year at Thanksgiving dinner, but you could tuck one in a gift for the recipient to use next year. Have fun with these (no pilfering office supplies- that wouldn't be right) Merry Christmas!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here are the recipe books I made for my family last year. I started by collecting recipes from everyone in the family- you know the things they are known for. My mom's dinner rolls and fried chicken, Marilyn's texas sheet cake, Barb's pea salad LOL The things you expect to see at family dinners. Then I printed the recipes out on cardstock, and layered them according to length. I decorated plain office file folders with some pretty paper, used a two hole punch and some prongs to secure them into my folders, and oila! They are done : ) I tried to coordinate the paper to each persons kitchens and /or taste. <br />
</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ouiKkuRjDUU/Sxr97BgKD0I/AAAAAAAAAEY/aBoAs-oM1Fs/s1600-h/recipe+books+002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; cssfloat: right; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" er="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ouiKkuRjDUU/Sxr97BgKD0I/AAAAAAAAAEY/aBoAs-oM1Fs/s320/recipe+books+002.jpg" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ouiKkuRjDUU/Sxr-nPgiFfI/AAAAAAAAAEg/NzQbrtv9a5c/s1600-h/recipe+books+001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" er="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ouiKkuRjDUU/Sxr-nPgiFfI/AAAAAAAAAEg/NzQbrtv9a5c/s320/recipe+books+001.jpg" /></a><br />

Then one person collects them, makes front and back covers, and takes them to Staples (or whatever is local) and has them bound. I think we each paid $3 to cover the cost of laminating the covers and binding the books. I love this idea. The recipes are generally really good and the book is just adorable. The blue book on the left is one that i received at convention, where we e-mailed recipes to a coordinator ahead of time and then we decorated our own covers when we got to Salt lake City. The red book on the right is one I did with friends on Vancouver Island, my friend Susan organized this swap (and several others).<br />

Gary makes this exceptionally well, and this is one of the things I always request for him to make for me. : ) I think this is a really erpsonal gift and it is so fun to receive new recipes. Its quite inexpensive to do in bulk- just a pack of folders and some paper, plus the prongs...or the cost of paper to print and the binding, depending on which style you choose to do. I hope you and your friends and family have have fun with these ideas! Merry Christmas!<br />

I fell in love with these cute, fun little albums and have been making them ever since. Take 4-6 paper lunch sacks...not Kiwi size, just regular : ) and turn them so they are all facing different directions and turn some over. Now you should have flaps and openings scattered throughout. Use a regular sewing machine to sew a seam down the middle of all the bags neatly stacked one on top of the other. See the left image in the picture here. Now fold it in half and just start decorating! You can do these for Mother's day, Birthdays, friends etc...I did a western themed album with paisley and cowboy embellishments for my friend Christine. Just use paper that co-ordinates and go for it. It is all about having fun. <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ouiKkuRjDUU/SxmewRD4wCI/AAAAAAAAAEA/zafT7MrYZRA/s1600-h/paperbag+album+001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" er="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ouiKkuRjDUU/SxmewRD4wCI/AAAAAAAAAEA/zafT7MrYZRA/s400/paperbag+album+001.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This picture shows an inside page and a pocket...the opening made by the top of the lunch bag...I made inserts with tabs to go inside, to hold either a picture or journaling. This cute paper is all by Basic Grey and is their Fruit Cake line that was out about 3 years ago. I hoarded it...I literally went to Hobby Lobby and bought every package they had at the end of the season. <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ouiKkuRjDUU/SxmdDBN_ULI/AAAAAAAAAD4/4vtqdSi4Gqw/s1600-h/paperbag+album+002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" er="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ouiKkuRjDUU/SxmdDBN_ULI/AAAAAAAAAD4/4vtqdSi4Gqw/s320/paperbag+album+002.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;"><br />
</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;">This is the inside showing one of the flaps of the bag decorated. I stamped it and made a journaling spot, but you can also put trimmed pics here. I usually put a small tab on the flaps so people know to open them. <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ouiKkuRjDUU/SxmbGAqWeRI/AAAAAAAAADw/lwO-YUAQlJs/s1600-h/paperbag+album+003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" er="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ouiKkuRjDUU/SxmbGAqWeRI/AAAAAAAAADw/lwO-YUAQlJs/s320/paperbag+album+003.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;">I hope you enjoy making your own albums, and Merry Christmas!<br />

I spoke to the manager and asked if I could have a few extra, she pressed for a number so i asked "Is 25 too many?" She checked her stock, came back with a stack of 75 and told me she had about 5,000 more in the back room! So- bonus! I covered the coaster with designer paper on both sides, and then you can just add your post it note pad. You can dress it up with a decorated clip, buy these at a business supply store (Staples, or Office Max in the US) and cover them with paper, and add a little bit of ribbon. If you'd like to add a ribbon loop pen holder, just glue the loop in place before you add the designer paper to the coaster. The little pens are from Staples. You can add magnets to the back if you want to go on the fridge, or leave them plain for use in teh car or your purse. The jumbo clip in the back left of the picture my friend Laura made for a swap when went to the Stampin' Up convention in Salt Lake City last summer. These can hold a photo on your desktop, or a recipe in your kitchen. Cute teacher gifts! I hope you've enjoyed todays ideas...check back each day for more posts. I have a list of 15 I intend to share, some will be quick projects, some will take a little longer. Enjoy the season, and remember who we celebrate! Merry CHRISTmas!<br />

I used colored paper to cut the squares...actually, Ashley cut these. She is making this one for her little sister Sage, with my assistance. but- Don't tell sage! It's a surprise! Luckily, she doesn't read my blog. lol<br />

To start off- heres an idea for children OR adults.... I took an old Trivial Pursuit game board (Goodwill for $2-$3) and covered it in pretty paper and stickers and made it a Disney princess Trivia Game. This one takes a bit of time- but its really fun. I found DP trivia questions on-line and also made up some of my own, and included an answer sheet with the directions for the game. You could adapt this to a sport, a team, a country, church history...be creative! My local school district office has a laminating machine they let me use for $.50 per foot. Its 3 feet wide so it doesn't take much to laminate all the question/trivia cards as well as the typed up directions and answer sheets. I made two of these last year and had a request to make another this year. I am happy to oblige!<br />

</div>These are the treat boxes (nuggett boxes) I made for Thanksgiving for the adults. I am still attempting to make turkeys to put on suckers for the kids. Wish me luck! Most of them have leaves and a pumpkin tied on with gold cord. I used a wheel on very vanilla paper to make the box tops and Dusty Durango cardstock for the box bottoms. I used up some old DSP to cover the nuggetts. I also got to use some of the new dusty durango polka dot ribbon. I love that stuff!<br />
Ok. I am feeling less stressed now that I can post again. I have lots of holiday stuff, plus some old stuff to still post so come back soon. Happy turkey day!Angiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08215929570611057711noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-282276899431798471.post-7144284224806261242009-11-25T16:27:00.001-08:002009-11-25T16:37:36.755-08:00<div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ouiKkuRjDUU/Sw3MLFftQ3I/AAAAAAAAAC4/6_fUp-jkg7I/s1600/oct+09+001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ouiKkuRjDUU/Sw3MLFftQ3I/AAAAAAAAAC4/6_fUp-jkg7I/s320/oct+09+001.jpg" yr="true" /></a>Holy macaroni! I finally got the whole canera computer situation figured out. This is a Halloween card i totally cased, but I changed the stamp set... and the ribbon. I copied the nesties label and the BG paper. Too cute....Speaking of things I am just getting around to...I just transplanted a Hibiscus that mt friend teresa got me after my mom died, and it has been sitting in my dining room for about 6 weeks waiting it be transplanted. It took me all of oh- I don't know_ 60 seconds. Seriously. Why do i procrastinate such simple things???<br />

I always change things to make them my own, but that also means making them more complicated usually, so I just made them. Followed their samples and kept it simple. I am trying to train myself to make simple cards. I love them when I see what other people have made, but then I start making cards and start thinking it "just needs a little bit more". LOL. These cards remind me of my friend Melanie, they really are more her colors and style than mine... I made a cute purple card organizer to put these in and I am making some little 3 x 3s to go with them and a couple of tags. I have SO much to do to get ready for next Saturday, and I have a final Wednesday and a paper still to do. Wish me luck!

This didn't come out exactly as I wanted it to, but it kept my hands busy while I watched my MSU boys get the tar beat out of them by the UNC Tarheels. Oh well. They did better, and went further than anyone expected them to. Go State! Good for them! I made cards out of green cardstock while watching MSU.lol I'm such a Spartan! More cards tomorrow, I'm of to bed, and hopefully a good nights sleep. (here's hoping!)</p><p> </p><p> </p>Angiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08215929570611057711noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-282276899431798471.post-39034813866723808782009-04-06T20:40:00.000-07:002009-04-06T20:45:26.767-07:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ouiKkuRjDUU/SdrLdKOnd-I/AAAAAAAAACA/8Mqj6sfrQhQ/s1600-h/dspthank+you.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321789611513968610" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 230px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ouiKkuRjDUU/SdrLdKOnd-I/AAAAAAAAACA/8Mqj6sfrQhQ/s320/dspthank+you.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br />OK- not the best pic...the sentiment in the middle is from the oval all set, it says "thank you" with a little butterfly over the words. I stamped it in pink, then again in certainly celery, punched my wide ovel (pink) and then my large oval (CC) and layered with pop dots. I wish you could see it in real life. So- I found out who my other subscriber is- it's Ashley! Thanks my sweet girls. I like sharing what Imake with you : ) Still trying to get my rascally camera to cooperate. I did something to it alst week playing with buttons before I left for Texas. ggggrrrrr. lolAngiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08215929570611057711noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-282276899431798471.post-56364484612604707422009-04-05T21:51:00.000-07:002009-04-05T22:04:29.118-07:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ouiKkuRjDUU/SdmKXKBARJI/AAAAAAAAAB4/wwcSMIPXvU4/s1600-h/fabulous+friend.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321436565145142418" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 264px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ouiKkuRjDUU/SdmKXKBARJI/AAAAAAAAAB4/wwcSMIPXvU4/s320/fabulous+friend.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br />Hi! I've been MIA for a while...I made a trip to Texas to see my hubby and celebrate our 6th anniversary. Time flies when you're having fun : ) I have made a TON of cards in the last week. I am technologically challenged and am still trying to figure out how to actually get my digital camera to do what I want, so while I figure that out I thought I'd scan this one. It has a shadow from the bow...but you can get the jist anyway. the little sentiment if from a new set called Oval All in the new Spring Occasions Mini catalog. I love my oval punches and I think I will get a lot of use out of this set. I made several of those cute stationary organizers I've seen on so many blogs. I will post a link to the tutorial with my pics, hopefully tomorrow. I am so excited! My friend laura was asked to do a booth at Business and professional Women's Expo on April 18th, but she couldn't do that date, so she asked me. I will have a booth where I can seel retired stamp sets, handmade cards, card organizers, decorated cans, etc..plus maybve meet some new customers! It would be great to meet some new people to stamp with : ) Well, I'm off to bed with hopes of getting more pictures posted here tomorrow. Thanks for looking! A special thanks to Chelsea, who was my very first subscriber! Love you, Chels! Now I have two. I'm happy someone wants to see what I'm up to.Angiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08215929570611057711noreply@blogger.com0
