This is a gift bag set I made a couple of weeks ago. To the left is a mini backpack which you can put a gift inside and the front pouch holds a little card. The center is a gift bag with a greeting card attached to the front. To the right is a mini purse which can be filled with little goodies.
Here are some side view pictures of the backpack and purse.

At my last Stampin' Up! meeting I did a demonstration on glitter brads. Imagine me, one of the shyest people in the world doing a presentation in front of about 80 people. I was so nervous I didn't think I would be able to do it but once I got started it wasn't that bad. I will definitely share more ideas this way. Anyhoo, this is one of the samples I prepared for my presentation. The glitter brad is holding the ribbon on the card and is a build-a-brad with a pop up glue dot and fine glitter. The picture doesn't do it justice, it is so pretty. Leave a comment and let me know what you think.....

I've been really busy making swaps for my Stampin' Up! meeting tomorrow. Here is a sneak peek at one of the cards I am making. I will post the finished product tomorrow. The chick is made using all Stampin' Up! punches and is cased from Heather Summers.
I did this 12x12 page at a workshop last year. It uses a retired stamp set and retired designer series paper but I really like this layout. I will probably recreate it in the near future using a different color scheme and die cut letters from the BigShot. This page could be for any special occasion like birthdays, winning the big game or any type of award.
Stamps: Well Worn Alphabet
Paper: Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Bashful Blue, Summer Picnic DSP, Whisper White
Ink: Bashful Blue
Accessories: Large Star Punch, Star Punch, Chipboard Star, Vintage Brads
This is the second 12x12 layout I did with pictures of the Melia Caribe Resort. I did a lot of stamping on these two pages which I quite enjoyed.
Stamps: Balmy Breezes
Paper: Mellow Moss, Always Artichoke, Whisper White, Retired DSP
Ink: Basic Black, Close to Cocoa
Accessories: Tag Corner Punch, Hemp Twine
OK...I decided to post some pictures of my messy craft room. I was hoping to be finished organizing by the end of the day but I think that might have been a little too ambitious. I am making progress but I still have about 6 or so boxes in Allan's woodworking room that needs to be put away. The bonus part is that I am finding a lot of things that I thought I lost or forgot I had. Or maybe I've just got too much stuff.
Two years ago Allan and I got married in the Dominician Republic at the Melia Caribe Resort. These are some pictures I scrapbooked of the resort in a double 12x12 layout. With all this cold weather I am really wishing I was back there. It was paradise.
Stamps: Baroque Motifs
Paper: Certainly Celery, Chocolate Chip, Retired DSP
Ink: Certainly Celery, Sahara Sand, Rose Red
Accessories: Clear Embossing Powder, Chocolate Chip Grosgrain Ribbon, HodgePodge Hardware, Stampin' Dimensionals
This is a card and 6x6 scrapbook page that uses the Botanical Blooms set from the Sale-a-Bration Cataolgue which runs until the end of March. I must say that I am really liking all the items for this catalogue. I think Stampin' Up! has really outdone themselves on this one.
I made this combo at my last Stampin' Up! meeting. Thanks Darlene (my upline) for providing such great projects for us.
Stamps: Botanical Blooms
Paper: Pink Pirouette, Basic Black, Whisper White, Bella Rose DSP
Ink: Basic Black, Pink Pirouette, Kiwi Kiss, Riding Hood Red
Accessories: Pink Pirouette Striped Grosgrain Ribbon, Pink Pirouette 1-1/4" grosgrain Ribbon, Stampin' Dimensionals
I think this is a nice multipurpose card. It could be a "Thank You" card, a "Birthday" card or even a "Just Because" card. The possibilities are endless.
My craft room is now furnished and I am in the process of finding a home for everything. You don't realized how much stuff you have until you are forced to go through and organize it all. In our last house I stored all my stuff in a closet so organization wasn't always possible. Now that I have a whole room, I can't see how I fit everything in that closet (lol). I am tempting to post some pictures of how it looks right now but I may regret showing everyone my mess. Have a great day.
Stamps: Bloomin' Beautiful
Paper: Pretty in Pink, Kraft, Whisper White
Ink: Basic Black, Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa, Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery
Accessories: Stampin' Dimensionals, 2-way Glue Pen, Dazzling Diamonds (on bee), Pretty in Pink Grosgrain Ribbon, Double Rectangle Punch, Cutter Kit
This is the swap card I made for my last Stampin' Up! meeting. I made 25 of them. The funny part is that I got everyone involved in this one. I had my step mom taping ribbon, my dad was applying dimensionals and I even had my husband cutting ribbon and coloring flowers. There was a real assembly line happening.
The Designer Series paper I used on this card is part of the Sale-a-bration promotion and you can get it free when you place a $60.00 Stampin' Up! order with me.
Stamps: Sweet Stems, Embrace Life
Paper:Delicate Dots DSP, Certainly Celery, So Saffron, Bashful Blue, Whisper White
Ink: Basic Black, Certainly Celery Marker, Bashful Blue Marker
Accessories: Stampin' Dimensionals, Mellow Moss Taffeta Ribbon
WooHoo!!! My craft room is finally finished. We still need to assemble all the furniture with the famous Ikea Allen Key and move all my crafting supplies in. I have a feeling I'm going to be really busy organizing over the next couple of days. Wish me luck.....
Thursday was mine and Allan's 2nd and 15th anniversary. 2 years married and 15 years together (we got married on our first date anniversary). We didn't do much. It was hard enough to get through a 1 hour dinner with a tired 7 month old boy. But I am definitely not ready to leave my little man with a babysitter yet.
This is the card I gave Allan for our anniversary. It is my version of a swap I received about a month ago. The stamp set I used is one of the free stamp sets you can receive if you place a $60.00 Stampin' Up! order with me.

I think this is a nice card for a just because card or a thank you card. I just love this cute elephant.
My new craft room is almost finished. Hopefully I will be able to start moving things in there by this weekend. I am so excited. I will post pictures when it is finished. Until then, I have to keep posting my older stuff.
