Valentine's Day is OVER!!

Hello All!

Well, I made it through Valentine's Day. Don't get me wrong I LOVE V-day. But, with 4kids in school, it CRAZY all V-Day week! Even my oldest, who is in 6th grade, just HAD to take in treats this year. I wonder if she will still feel that way next year? Anywho, I have been stamping, I just haven't had time to post. But, here is a little of what has been going on...

I love, love, LOVE the new Flower Punch from Stampin' Up! I am really enjoying the new design of the punches, and it is much easier on my hands. My cards for today have been inspired by cards that I have seen perusing magazines, and other blogs. I also wanted to get in the spirit of spring and summer, and get some bright colors rolling!



I really love the 'buttons' on this card. I made them using my 1 inch circle punch, and my crop-a-dile. A little time consuming, but I really like the end result.



Did I mention that I love the new flower punch? I love it. A Lot.


When I punch my flowers, I like to punch two and layer them, to make them even more sturdy. I also sponge the edges in the same color as the cardstock to give them more depth. I also did the same with the buttons.

Well, that's all for today! If you have any questions, please let me know. Have a FANTASTIC day! :)

Saying Goodbye...

Well, sort of. ;) Hello! I spent most of today day sort of saying goodbye to the retiring In Colors. Even though they will no longer be available to order, You will continue to see me use them. I've only been a SU! demonstrator for a few months, so I really haven't had long to use these fabulous colors. I think Pacific Point has to be my favorite!

I also used the One Sheet Wonder method for this set of cards. I got the inspiration from Mae, a super creative lady on Splitcoast. You can visit her blog here I altered the color palette a bit, and used Kiwi Kiss and Real Red. That is my other favorite SU! color. It is a very deep and beautiful red, I find I use it often!

I actually did these two projects on Sunday. It was really fun, I love the So Tweet chipboard!


I used the Good Morning Sunshine dsp for this card. I'm really going to miss this cool retro paper! I got the inspiration for this card from Angie on Chic n Scratch. Her blog is so awesome!
