CASE!

The lovely Ms. Pam Browne showed us a card at my upline's last downline meeting (thats a mouthful!) that I just knew I had to case! I absolutely loved it, and I'm always looking for unique card designs. Here's a pic of Pam's project:Amazing right? I know! Click over to Pam's Blog to see more of her creations.

Now, here is the card I made using Pam's idea. I used the Parisian Breeze DSP (which is retiring this month, so let me know if you need some ASAP).


A little more detailed....Hope you enjoyed this creation. Check back again soon for more new projects, cards, and gift ideas!

Three Little Words & Three Little Roses

Here's a card I made for my parents who live in Florida. These are the planned colors for my upcoming wedding so I really like playing around with them and seeing what I can come up with. I'm seeing possible Thank You cards in my head...hehe.

I love it and hope you do too!

Comfort Food

These are just a few 3x3 cards I made this week. I've never really played with this size before, but I felt like to really highlight this stamp set I needed to do a smaller card.

I made this "donut be sad" card for my colleague Kathy who just got back from vacation.
This one I made for my fiance. He'd had a rough day and I knew a card would make him smile...especially one with a silly little pun like this.

The stamp set is Comfort Food a level 1 hostess set (you can get this set for free with a $150 order! Contact me for details). The patterned paper is something I got from a fellow stamper so I don't know who makes it. The cardstock is an old in color I had on hand that matched the paper fairly well I thought.

Leave a comment and tell me what you think! Oh...and maybe what you're favorite comfort food is...mine is Chocolate! yummy!

Flowers Flowers Everywhere

This cute little box is what I gave my mother for Mothers Day. You can find a tutorial for this adorable box on my wonderful upline, Lisa Freeman's blog.


I filled the box with some custom cards and stationary using another of my favorite sets; Upsy Daisy.



Thanks for stopping by~ and don't forget to let me know what you think!

Spring Brings Roses

First let me tell you...I am OBSESSED with SU!'s Fifth Avenue Floral set. I love it! It never leaves my desk, and its always ALWAYS inky.

Here is the card I created for my Mom and my wonderful Future Mother-In-Law for Mother's Day.



You can find a tutorial for this base of this project on Stephanie Luman's blog.
I played with the roses a bit to get some different dimensions. I cut each one on different lines and assembled them with dimensionals....here's a detail shot:
The ingredients for this card include: Riding Hood Red CS, Pink Piroutte CS, Candy Cane Lane DSP, Kraft DSP, Whisper White CS, and some lovely silver brads.

Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to comment and let me know what you think! :-)

Our Love Story

Here's a pic of a project I've been working on for a couple of weeks now.
I used some SU! Designer Series Paper and the 08-09 IN Colors. The SU! Organza ribbon finally arrived today so I could finish it off!
Enjoy a few close-ups....
And here's the back....I covered the chipboard but havent decided what photos I'm gonna be using for it.


**These pictures are all from the weekend that we went to the Outer Banks of NC and got engaged**

Crazy for Cupcakes --with IN Colors

Ahh the evolution of a card. You look and its "almost done"...its missing something...not sure what...


This card was for a sketch challenge so I looked back at the sketch and realized it needed some ribbon!
And then I thought....I need some more of this Tangerine color to tie it all together....so I ended up with this:
What do you think?
