With temperature hovering about in the teens I thought this bouquet of flowers would make it seem a little warmer and brighter.

Let me know what you think

IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY, IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY!

Created this pretty card using the Build a Cupcake punch and the Stampin' Up Silver Glitter card stock that I colored Melon Mango.
Don't you just love how delicious the cupcake toppings are?!

CONGRATULATIONS TO WANDA H. she has won this cute coffee cup and gift card!

I made these 'coffee mugs' for several people who needed just a special touch for the gift card holders that they were sending out.....Leave a comment and I promise one special person will receive one with a $5.00 gift card to their favorite coffee house!

Recipe for card....
Fold a piece of dark card stock in half, cut with 4" on the fold down to bottom of cup to 3"
Cut sleeve 2x4 1/2 and crimp with your crimper....this will be slighty larger, but that's OK. Trim once you place on card.
Cut a piece of white 4 1/4x2 1/2, score at 1 1/4
Attach a piece of 3x2 and glue on just the sides and bottom for the gift card holder.
Use any embossing folder to add texture to cup.

Recipe for Egg Nog...
1 c. purchased egg nog...who has the time for the real stuff, when this is just as good
1/2 c. bourbon....OK MAYBE NOT 1/2 c. but wouldn't that be fun....3oz ya wimp

Stampin' Up! Top Note in Wild Wasabi shadowed with Old Olive ink.
Eye cut using the 1 1/4" punch with So Saffron also inked with So Saffron

I took a piece of Real Red and cut it to a 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 and cut at the angle, folded over the corner and added a punch out using the Itty Bitty Punch Set.

Merry Christmas!

I've received so many compliments on a card I created I felt obligated to share my 'recipe'

So get out your pencils and paper and get ready to write, this could be difficult.....

Tiny hole punches for the holly's, with Stampin' Up red glitter

Ok well, thats it! How super elegant is this?!

Barbiezilla

Ok, so I had these grand illusions of surprising our new neighbors with this miniature version of their new home, from the Winder Wonderland cart. Oooh myyy gooosh! Was it a royal pain in the arsh. With almost 2 house into this construction of cutting, scoring and gluing all these tiny pieces together I had enough of it!
Even though I designed it with the Fit To Page button, it was still very difficult to adhere all the tiny pieces together.
I reluctantly finished it, and not too overly pleased with it, I decided "How could I ever give something like this to our new neigbhors." "Come on now, after all I want them to think I perfect". Barbie is now ROTFL :)

But before I did, ROTFL, Barbiezilla came through, and well you can see what happen next.

So, if at first you don't succeed, ah screw all that nonsense and just scrap the whole project and go for something easier....

Welcome to the neighborhood

This was a such a better idea, and Shhhhhh, don't tell them it wasn't my idea! Let them think I am PERFECT.

Don't I wish I was 30 AGAIN!

Ok, so I'm a 'couple' of years over that...but who's counting!

Christmas Cards

Hi Stampers! 
I know it seems a bit early to be thinking about Christmas cards, but if you are going to make your cards this year, the time to get started is now!   I have two Christmas card  classes coming up over the next few weeks so I am busy designing cards.   Here is a card I designed this evening for my next upcoming class.
Contact me and I will let you know when the next Make and Take Class is. Make 4 beautiful cards for just a fee supply of $20.00.

Stampin' Up!

This beautiful card was created for a good friend of ours who recently lost her sister. It's unfortunate that we must keep these type of cards on hand, but I wanted to make sure I created a special one for her....Notice the little blue bird, always there to remind you how precious life is.
