Eggplant and Gold

 It's time to be inspired by Stampin' Celebration!  Join us this week!!

I made this simple card with a paper flower using scallop circle punches.  Spritz the scallop circle punched paper and crumble up.  Uncrumble them and lay out to dry.  Once dry layer them and adhere them together.  Fluff up and there you go!

Here are the GORGEOUS inspiration photos....

Legacy Scrapbook Page

A few months ago I made THIS page honoring my Grandma and Grandpa.  Now I get to honor my other set of grandparents.  And yes, they are all still alive and both marriages are going strong at over 65 years each!! WOW....amazing, right?!  

I love this photo of my Grandma and Grandpa....they are so cute!!  I used Wisteria Wonder, Elegant Eggplant, Basic Black and Very Vanilla.  Of course GOLD, too!  I used the Doily Stamp....yes...I know it's retired, but this grandma makes doilies and I am so blessed to have them all over my house!  She is so talented!! I will be putting this in a frame to hang in my house....although, I'm sure, like the other page I made, my mom will be trying to "borrow" it for her house.  ;)

Hop on over and join us at Stampin' Celebration!!

Happy Stamping,

Pencil Bag with Project Life Tag

Another project that I made for the display board was a fun 3D using the Everyday Adventure Project Life Pack.  I made this fun tag as a bag topper for pencils.  

I stapled the tag with some bakers twine and silver ribbon. The tag is made from strips of the PL cards.  SO so easy...PL is not just for Memory Keeping!!

This week at Stampin' Celebration it's time for back to school projects.  Let's see what you can come up with!! 

This was a project from the Stampin' Up! Convention 2014.  Don't forget to follow us on Pinterest by clicking on the link below the photo....

Bee Happy With Sweet Stuff

The summer so far has been SO busy...road trip, amusement park, beach trips, sleeping in, late movies and so much more. But it's over now...year around school in our area forced us to start on July 7th.  Back at it.

But I get to go to the Stampin' Up! Convention this year.  It starts on Wednesday evening and I can't wait to share with you guys....ALL OF THE FUN!!

Join us this week at Stampin' Celebration too for a sketch challenge.  Here is my card:

I used the set called Sweet Stuff.  It has some SUPER CUTE images.  I used Razzleberry Ripple and Daffodil Delight with Whisper White of course.  Triangles Embossing Folder, some cotton ribbon and here you have it.

Kinda Eclectic Inspired

 I've been working with this set for several weeks now.  I was chosen to be a Display Stamper at the Stampin' Up! Convention this year.  I was a bit scared of it at first since the images are so different.  But I really fell in love with the set after using it.  Here is a card that we made at my last class.  It just so happens to be inspired by the photos for the Stampin' Celebration Challenge Blog.

The colors used are Blackberry Bliss, Mossy Meadow, Lost Lagoon and lots of Gold sparkle with the vellum and the sequins.  

Join us at Stampin' Celebration!  Check out some totally AWESOME stuff by the other DT too!!

Happy Stamping,

I Have A Silly Kid!

It's been a while since I've done anything with MDS for a challenge.  When I saw the sketch for this weeks challenge at Stampin' Celebration....I knew it was perfect!

My littlest dude LOVES to make faces.  He always jumps in front of the camera when I'm trying to take pictures of my cards and such.  Here is one of those photo shoots.

I used the Designer Paper Kit for MDS called Summer Possibilities.  I added a few embellishments and punches with MDS and there you go....

Now it's your turn!  Here is the sketch.  I hope you will join us at Stampin' Celebration

Happy Stamping,

Celebrate at Stampin' Celebration

The inspiration photos this week at Stampin' Celebration are so soft and pretty!!  

I wanted to use a little bit of each photo to inspire my project.  I found these cute little clear pillow boxes at Clearbags.com.  And they were on clearance!  Even better!!

I added some really cool Spiral Flower Die cut flowers in Wisteria Wonder, and a fringe scissor cut leafy thing...hee hee. Then some of the Petite Petals punched flowers in White and a cute celebrate banner.  For the belly band I cut a 2"x7-1/2" then used the Tag Topper punch to finish the edges and to tie it together with the taffeta ribbon.
