SBS Ribbon Cards!





















How great are these cards?!

All the attendees of the latest Ft Meade SBS
were given a yard of this green dot ribbon and asked to make a card.
This is what we all came up with. It was so cool to see how different
every card is. Amazing to see where everyones creative minds went.

Enjoy!

Amazing Friends

This one sings! Eeek!
Thank you Cindy.
Thank you Jane!
Thank you Jen!
Thank you to my SS whoever you are!!!
I don't normally post "store" cards but this one made me giggle...Because it's from my MIL.
She watched the movies after her last visit.

Thank you Rose!
Thank you Kathi!
Thank you Mary!

Thank you DM!

Thank you Pete!

Thank you Gloria!

Thank you Kathy!

Thank you Angie!





Looks like they aren't going to let me forget my B-Day!

I have some amazing-caring-talanted friends!
Look at these cards!!!! Talented they are.

Just so everyone knows I will be celebrating my 25th Birthday again...(several times now)
I'm just not old enough to go higher than 25...well other than my knees they are
about 70'ish, my back is in it's 50's, and somedays my memory is about 109, and I'm definitely
not mature enough to deal with the amount of grey hair I've been finding...

Other than that...I'm still 25!


Thank you all so much for all the B-Day love. You truly are great friends.

Dog Treat's


I made this dog treat container a couple weeks ago.
I have a dear friend who just loves her dog. Her Dogs like mine
more than just a pet they're family!
She was hosting our stamping groups yearly Birthday Bash..I needed a hostess
gift and this idea came to mind while I was in Petco getting cookies for my pup.

To make this I used a empty and washed mayo jar. MFT nesting labels dies (LOVE),
paper is from BoBunny, and CS is SU.

Have a great Sunday everyone! I'm hoping to rejoin the stamping and blogging world as soon as football season is over! My boys are both playing this year. They are so cute at this age.
They're all helmet...kinda look like those bobble head dolls running around.

This is the new Jack of All Trades set.
Just loved it! It's very close to a set SU had in the
past but I don't own that one so...It all works out!

Hope everyone is having a good week.
It's been crazy hot in MD..almost like it summer
or something! Oh well, guess I just stuck inside stamping!

Thank You Lollipop Flowers / Scissor Charms


These look much better in person.
I'm the worlds worst photographer. lol



Hello Everyone!
I've been a little MIA lately.
I have a New Catalog open house coming up this weekend.
So I've been busy with my Make and Takes and Thank You gifts.

This is one of those projects that as soon as I got started
I was thinking "what was I thinking"!
These scissors charms are adorable but
stringing these beads is beyond my patience level.
Love them but don't think I'll be making more!

I used the new SU DSP Just Add Cake, M's Glitter Paper,
and the Tim Holtz distressed flowers die to create the flowers.
The Lollipops are also from M's. They are in the wedding section
and are by Wilton. They come in a cute little kit complete with the
Thank You stickers. They match this SU DSP nicely.
The pinwheels are also SU Just add Cake DSP.

I used a SU butterfly stamps and shrinky dink plastic
to create the charms. All beads, and clasps are from M's.

Thanks for stopping by!
Have a great day!

Sail Away

Sail Away

I really like this stamp! It's from the current SU mini.
I've seen some really beautiful cards made with it.
Here is my first attempt at using it.
Got the idea from SCS. I used a nestie to make the oval
mask, used vanilla craft ink and inked in the oval,
used my heat tool to set the ink. Then stamped the boat,
and sponged the baja ink on top of the vanilla ink.
Very easy technique, yet very pretty.

Have a great day everyone!

Just add cake DSP, Baja Breeze CS, SU ink in Baja, Saffron, and Coral.

Think this one is my favorite!
Pretty Postage stamps (SU) and postage punch (SU).
Thanks to my friend Jane for the DSP!!! LOVE IT!
This is one of the new incolors Pool Party.

Love this new set and punch!!!
This set is called Pennant Parade it will be in the
new SU catalog starting July 1st.

I used Pennant Parade, Pennant Punch, and all the
new incolors. I'm in love with the new colors.
They are really fun to play with.
