You Stole My Heart!

Hello again. I've been very busy this week. I had to prepare and hold my daughters Girl Scout Investiture Ceremony on Tuesday. It was great and everyone did so well saying their lines and singing the songs. I think it was a very memorable event for those girls.

I also started saving money by clipping coupons and working the deal at Publix. I am not a frugal shopper and I think the stress of clipping and trying to get the cheapest deal on things might make me quit doing this but I did save $56. So I guess it's worth it. Let me see... That's 2 or 3 stamp sets. Or 5 packs of Designer Series Paper.  I guess it's worth it. LOL.

I also finally had my punch class on Wednesday. Everyone had fun and I even signed up Jeannette to be a demonstrator. She helped me out before class making sure we had everything cut and ready. She's awesome! I can't wait to help her plan her first open house/workshop. She's so much fun and I know everyone will love her.

Even though I've been so busy I did find time to make something cute for you. Lookie:


I used the corduroy buttons in Summer Sun for the sun. I used paper from the Tall Tales Designer Series Paper and of course the new stamp set in the mini catalog that has this cute raccoon. I love it! Hope you do too.

Tonight I have a class for a bunch of Girl Scouts. 12 of them. Yikes! We'll be making a cute heart treat cup card. I think you'll like it. I'll try to save one to take pictures of and post on my blog.

TTFN.

Fall SUO Challenge

Image
Okay here's my card for the SUO challenge. I hope I get in the top three but I have some stiff competition. I used the stamp set Just Believe and the hostess set Punch Potpourri. Paper: Cajun Craze, Peach Parfait, Soft Suede, Whisper White and packing paper Ink: Cajun Craze marker, Soft Suede marker, Peach Parfait Ink Pad. Accessories: Hemp Twine, Two Step Bird Punch, Scallop Square Extra-Large Punch, Top Note Die and Pearl jewels Pretty cool huh? I thought it came out good. I wanted to add a saying on the card and started by making a scallop sqare with a circle in the middle with the word "freind" in th center. I tried placing it all over this card but didn't like how big it was and took up too much of the card. So then I ended up making a 3 x 3 card for it to go on. Lookie: If you are wondering how we have two sizes of the scallop square I have to admit that we only have one size. But come back tomorrow and I'll show you how I did it. They look great t...

Paper Pumpkin Kit - Father's Day!

Image
I love surprises! My Paper Pumpkin is my monthly surprise that I give myself. Every month my red box shows up in the mail and I can't wait to open it and see what's inside. May's kit didn't disappoint. I love the amazing designs, colors, embellishments, stamps, ink, envelopes and printed paper. I admit that a few of the past Paper Pumpkins left me wondering what was going on with this kit. It's suppose to be a showcase of Stampin' Up! products. A few of the past kits made me think they were running to a Big Box store for supplies. So I wrote to Stampin' Up! about my concerns and they listened. I have to say I'm so impressed now with this subscription that I feel it's worth more than the $19.95 that it costs. I look forward to every month and seeing the amazing product that it includes. One thing they improved most on was the quality of paper. I now feel this is something that is worthy of the Stampin' Up! name. Envelopes and cardstock ar...

Punch art crazy!

Image
Okay I just had to share this card with everyone. I'm very proud of it. It took me forever to figure out how to do some of the shapes but I finally did it. This card was for my friend's husband who turned 40 today. He is a serious cyclist. Every weekend he does 60-120 miles on his bike. I'm lucky if I ride my bike around the loop. I remembered seeing a punch art of a cyclist on a blog and since I don't have a stamp of a bike or anything close to it I decided to do punch art. I found the website (click here if you want to see it) with the image and did my best to copy it. I changed the colors to make it personal. Everyone was impressed by the card. I have to say that I rather make that card than ride 60 miles on a bike but I think I'll just look at the picture if I ever want to see it again. LOL. Here's the card: I will not go into details but if you want to know how I did it let me know and I'll try to talk you through it. LOL. Here's another swap ...
