Ladies, I have taken a little blogging break. We had a death in the family and it is hard to get much done. Please excuse me and I spend more time with our family.

Good afternoon! I am trying to get a few things completed in between my classes I am teaching today. Blogging is getting done now. Did a little shopping today. You will have to wait and see what I bought J. It'll end up here on my blog. You will have a wait a bit though – a couple of weeks probably.
Here is a card that I have made with a bunch of fun things from Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini Catalog. Can you say Sweet Pea? I bet you can. Sweat Pea felt and Sweet Pea Paper. Both of them are gorgeous!! And, have you checked out the prices?? Incredible values!!
I will post all of the separate items later when I have a bit more time J.
Until later, happy stamping!!

The other day I shared a Sympathy card with you. I told you there was more to come. So, here is another one.
Pam, one of my fantastic customers, sent me a Thank You a LONG time ago. She used the "bird" set – Friends 24-7. I really liked the card. Somehow, I think the card was lost and I cannot find it back L. I remembered it and created a sympathy card based on it
Isn't it beautiful? By the way, have you ordered soft suede cardstock? If not, you NEED to!! Order a few extra packs. It is a In Color color. What does that mean? That means, when this catalog expires (around the end of June) you will NOT be able to order any more of that beautiful color. So, get some now!!! And since it is a color that goes with so much, you need to order a few extra packs!!
I paired the Soft Suede with Kraft cardstock. I liken Kraft to a paper sack at the grocery store. Not the same, but the speckling is kind of the same. I don't know – losing my mind maybe????
I hope your Friday is off to a good start! It is going to be a pretty laid back weekend here. Stampin' parties here and there in the weekend as well!
I have created a document that lists all the ingredients used, the sizes and the step by step to complete this card.
You can find the document here.

I have had a good time making up a bunch of these treats. I am sure a lot of you are running out of time, so I thought I would offer up my extras for sale. If they all sell, I will make more J.
I have these little packets already made up. The Starbursts are included. They are in the small cello bags that we sell.
I have added 3 sets of these to my etsy store for a price of the lot of 10 for $19.99 (and that includes FREE priority shipping).

So, Miss Hannah has a beautiful little boy. And, all beautiful boys deserve a trip to Gymboree, right? In return for a couple of things to her little guy, she gave me a Thank You card. Great trade, I say.
I apologize for that left elephant. He was wet in my mailbox (we had a bunch of rain and our mailbox is NOT good anymore – I wish the bills would be wet, but they never are!)
Would you like to know the colors she used? Click here for the list.

I know, I don't really like to make these. Well, actually, I do like to make these. I just don't like to need them.
Do you know my story? Sympathy cards is why I started stamping. I didn't like going to the store and spending all this money on cards – and then they not say what I wanted to say. So, I started looking for a way to make these cards myself and have something that I really liked.
Here is a sympathy card that I have made lately. I have others that I will share with you as the days go by.
I LOVED how it turned out! I like the look of the Medallion stamp on that patterned paper. The patterned paper has a texture to it – so when I stamped it again kept that texture. LOVED it!!!
I kept the card very simple with just a couple of layers.
I have created a document that lists all the ingredients used, the sizes and the step by step to complete this card.
You can find the document here.
Happy Wednesday!!

I am putting up for purchase the file pack for the projects that were made and given away at my Open House.
The guests made the two cards and I gave them a little Hershey Kiss treat for coming. The file pack will include all the directions, necessary supplies, and cutting instructions for each of the three projects. Each project will be on its own sheet so you can use the projects separately or together in a class setting (if you are a demonstrator). If you include your contact information when you purchase, I will include that info on the projects sheets. Pictures on the projects sheets will NOT have my contact information on them. You will receive your file pack within 24 hours of purchase via e-mail. Cost of file pack is $9.95.

I like the layout of this card. At first, I was a little intimidated by getting those square all lined up just perfect. What did I do???
Cut a square of scrap paper that is 2 ½ x 2 ½. The punched pieces are 1 ¼" square. Add two of those together and you have 2 ½" – so you can just "butt" these squares into each corner. Make sense??? I hope so. So, use a scrap piece of paper, because no one will ever see the paper.
Mount the piece with the square onto a piece of chocolate chip cardstock that is 2 ¾ square. That goes on to a piece of whisper white that is 3 x 3. Punch a 3" strip of old olive with the scallop punch. Stick all together on to a piece of Rose Red cardstock that is 5 ½ x 8 ½ folded to make the card.
Add the ribbon (through a slit in the side) and you are good to go!!!
Happy Saturday!!

Good morning ladies. Today is a beautiful day here in South Dakota. Gotta love a gorgeous day. Now, I know to some of you, this isn't gorgeous. It is around 10 degrees. A lot of snow. But – the sun is shining. I am sitting at my kitchen table with the sun on my back. And, drinking a cup of coffee. It can not get much better than that. Yesterday was a busy day here. Had all good intensions of getting things to you. The winds blew like crazy (so bad I couldn't see the neighbors house because of visibility issues with the wind and snow). So, I had a happy household full of children and a hubby. One extreme to the next!!
I have an update on the Stamp a Stack that I told you about last week. I have some options for you – come to the "live" class (February 1), order the cards as a kit to go, or order the file pack. Whatever works best for you!!!

Click Here to RSVP for the Stamp A Stack

Happy Monday Morning to all of you!
I have my Occasions Mini Catalog all set up and ready to go. So, thought I would take minute to blog about a card that we made this weekend. I headed over to Kirsten's house on Saturday for a stamp a stack. She picked four cards that her friends and family would like to make. I then cut up all the cardstock and they had a blast!!!
Here is one of the cards that we made. It is taken from an idea made by Nicole that I received in a swap.
Colors used are Rich Razzleberry and Pale Plum. Stamp sets are I {Heart} Hearts and Well scripted. Also used is the new punch in the Sale-a-bration catalog.
Ta Ta for now! Off to a busy day!

I bet you thought I had fallen off the face of the earth. Uughh! I hate it when I get too busy J. That is what happens when I have a party every day (and two on some days!) Today is the start of My Occasions Mini Catalog Open House. Tons of fun!! If you haven't had a chance to rsvp – do so now!! Projects are ready. House needs to be cleaned.
I KNOW a lot of you purchase designer series paper. I LOVE to use designer series paper. I LOVE that it is double-sided. I love how far it goes (12 sheets goes a long ways!)
But, I am a hoarder of my designer series paper. Here is the key – use it so you can buy more!!
I just cut up a bunch of the Cottage Wall paper and made some Sympathy cards with the paper.
It is a little tough to pick up the print in this paper, but it is really pretty. I added some taffeta ribbon to the side to dress it up a little without adding too much.
Let me know what you think!

Good morning ladies. I hope you are ready to start at FANTASTIC week. I know it is going to be a great week here! No snow in the future. That is good – we already have over 25 inches on the ground. We really don't welcome anymore.
I sold these great Décor Elements to a customer and friend, Becky. Didn't she do a great job with them? I love how she "squared" out the words with white paint in the little boy's room. And, look how everything matches so perfectly. So very nice J.
Here are links to the catalog and the supplement.
