A Baby Gift.


One of the families that I babysit for just had their second daughter. So, I had the opportunity to make some "girlie" projects. Actually, that is all that I seem to do. Baby boys are so few and far between around here!

The card uses Sweet Pea DSP and felt. I used the "grass" idea that I saw on one of my SUDEMOONLY swap cards. So cute!



Then, I made them a picture frame using the same theme. I kind of replicated the card and added some Big Shot butterflies. I did her name in chip board that I made white with my Whisper White craft pad. Then tied on a bow. They will be able to add a couple of pictures and they will be all set.
I hope that they enjoy it!
Have a great weekend!

SU!'s Color Renovation!

In case you haven't heard or seen it yet, SU! is in the midst of major change. Some of us are very resistant to change. Others, go with the flow. SU! always finds a way to make things work out.

The above colors are the colors that will be discontinued in July 2010. If any of these colors are colors that you can not live without, I would recommend ordering them ASAP. I would hate to tell you to wait and then have them gone.

Below are the new 4 Color Collections. There are 10 colors in each collection. Some of them are old in-colors others are new colors. I think overall, the colors look great. We may be missing a color or two, but something will work out.




All of this information is new and questions are being answered. Please let me know if you have any questions and we can get it figured out!

Take care!

Extreme Dirtbike!


This is a very quick card that I made yesterday. I have seen so many neat things done with these Extreme individual stamps that I finally bought 3 of them. My 7 year old just loves dirtbikes. He actually asked if he could have this stamp. They have never asked for a stamp before!
I brayered Night of Navy and Green Galore onto glossy cardstock. Then I embossed the dirtbike with black embossing powder. The tag was made with the word window punch, modern label and a tag from the sizzlit lots of tags.
Pretty quick and easy. Not to mention perfect for all of the little men in my life!

Monochrome Pheasant!


For a set that I didn't need Autumn Days is climbing right up there on my list of favorites! It is so easy to create a fun card in minutes! I always enjoyed Noble Deer and did the same kind of thing with it. Now, I am using the pheasant instead of the deer!
This is simply Not Quite Navy ink and cardstock. Masculine and simple!
Have a good week!

Happy Easter!


Good morning! And, Happy Easter! The sun is shining and we are in store for a wonderful day of food and family!
This card was made by Heidi Baks. It was part of the swap from the SU! Regional seminar that was supposed to be held in Syracuse. I never did purchase this bunny, but what cute little cards you can make with him! Maybe, he will be added to my collection someday!
Enjoy your day!

MDS in action!


Sharon McCartney sent this card to me. She used the MDS (My Digital Scrapbooking) to create this background. She used the Sweet Pea Felt and made grass out of cardstock.
I have not yet invested in the MDS. Maybe, I will at some point because I have seen some very neat things created with it. But, first I guess I need a new computer and high speed internet! All in do time!
Have a beautiful sunny day!

An Amazing Card.


As I have already mentioned, the theme for this months SUDEMOONLY swap is "something you have never used." This card was sent to me from Debra Booe. She had amazing results with this card. She used her Top Note, Little Leaves and the Flower Burst dies.
After she cut the flowers she sanded them off to reveal the white. The card is stunning! One more thing to add to my SU! wish list!
Thanks Debra for sharing your amazing talents!
