All in the Family
I finally put my Decor Elements All in the Family decals on my Jeep. I have to say I really love them. They are a lot bigger than most of the other brands I have seen on vehicles and they have that Stampin Up! feel to them. For only $4.95 a decal, I think they are a good value as well. Now if I had business cards with these little cuties on them. Have a great day.

Sneak Peek
Can I say how much I love Love LOVE the new in-colors from Stampin' Up! and that they make in-color markers now. Be still my beating heart. I used the new Animal Stories stamp set for this card. I think it has a lot of potential other than just a solid stamped image. I may have to experiment and try the kissing, rock & roll and thumping techniques with this set. I think this set is even cutesy enough to use as a baby set.

Happy Father's day
It's been a while since my last post. Life kind of gets in the way. Since it is Father's Day I figured I would post the cards My son and I gave to my husband. Both cards use the Father's Day greeting from the new Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set. I've already used this set on 6 cards and I've only had it a week. I have a feeling it is going to be my "go-to" set for greetings. I love that it is small and can be used with the word window punch.
The first is the card I gave him. I told him it was supposed to be him and Cole fishing when Cole gets older.
Recipe
Stamps: Angler, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Baja Breeze, Kraft, Whisper White, Parisian Breeze DSP
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Creamy Caramel
Acc: Word Window Punch, Modern Label Punch, Chocolate Chip double stitched Ribbon, Jumbo Brads
Next is the card Cole gave his daddy. I love the All in the Family stamp set. I have to use it more often.

Stamps: All in the Family, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Paper: Blue Bayou, Wild Wasabi, Whisper White, DSP from Creative License SSK
Ink: Basic Black, Blue Bayou, Soft Sky, Basic Gray

Sense of Time
Happy Easter everyone. This a another swap card I made for an Occasions Mini swap I was part of last month. I did a lot of sponging with Sahara Sand ink on this card. It is really hard to see in the picture but I used the En Francais background stamp on the basic gray layer in Sahara Sand ink and added some paper piercing along the right hand side. It is very subtle but it adds to the overall look of the card. The circles were cut using my circle scissors tool. I just love this stamp set. I think it can have a lot of uses in both cardmaking and scrapbooking. There is a link to the Occasions mini catalogue in the sidebar. There are so many awesome stamps in it. Check it out for yourself. I am in the process of taking pictures of the regionals swaps I received. I have had a sick little boy this past week so this has been one of the things that got put on the back burner. Hopefully, I will be able to post some of them within the next couple of days. Talk to you later.
Stamps: Sense of Time, En Francais BG
Paper: Basic Black, Basic Gray, Whisper White
Ink: Basic Gray, Sahara Sand
Accessories: Kraft Tafetta Ribbon, Silver Brads

Swap Card Part 2
This is the another card I made as a swap for regionals. The butterfly card was by far the more popular choice, though. I ran out of that one first. I couldn't believe that I made 80 swap cards in total and I could have probably brought 80 more with me. There were some amazing cards swapped that day. I will post some of the cards I received later this week. The thing I liked most about this card was the texture. I ran the kraft layer through the bigshot with a texture plate, then used my sanding block all over the raised side. It made a kind of suede feel to the cardstock.
Stamps: Ever After
Paper: Pretty in Pink, Kraft, Whisper White
Ink: Black Stazon, Pretty in Pink Marker, Mellow Moss Marker
Accessories: Mellow Moss Taffeta Ribbon, Sanding Block, Background I Texturz Plate

Regional Swap Part 1
This is a card I made as a swap for the Stampin' Up! regionals last month. It uses Designer Series Paper and a stamp set from the new Occasions mini. I love how this card turned out. The leaves around the butterfly are stamped in Basic Grey but I stamped off on scratch paper before stamping on my card which gave it a softer look.
Stamps: Great Friend
Paper: Basic Gray, Pretty in Pink, Whisper White, Walk in the Park DSP
Ink: Pretty in Pink, Basic Gray, Versamark
Accessories: White Embossing Powder

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.

Oh, Nervous Me......
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.....
Stamps: Happy Heart Day, Flight of the Butterfly
Paper: Taken with Teal, Regal Rose, Whisper White
Ink: Basic Black, Taken, with Teal, Regal Rose, Rose Red

Celebrate Page
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.

My Messy Craft Room
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.

Melia Caribe

Still Sale-a-Brating!!!
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.

Bloomin' Beautiful and Craft Room Update
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

A Family Affair
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.

My Craft Room
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.....

Happy Anniversary to Me!!!
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. For more info on earning free stamps click on the Sale-a-bration Catalogue link in my sidebar.

For a Friend & Craft Room Update
I think this is a nice card for a just because card or a thank you card. I just love this cute elephant.
