In color card sets

I have this really cute in color card set to share with you today.  Again it is a case'd card that I have made.

  ( honestly there are so many cute cards shared that I want to make it may be years before I do one of my own, lol)  

It is a very simple yet elegant card and I hope the girl receiving this set loves it as much as I do. 

This card is almost exactly like the original one with the greetings changed and I didn't add anymore pearls to the card other than on the butterfly. I made them in all the in colors for this year.  I just went to look for her blog link so I could link to her picture and totally forgot about the crumbcake/vanilla combo one she done. Now that is on my list!!!

July My Paper Pumpkin Kit

The My paper pumpkin kit for July arrived Tuesday! It is fun to get something in the mail each month and not know what it is! For the most part I never get anything that I do not already know is coming. Even for Christmas and my birthday do I rarely get a surprise so these are really nice. It's like a Christmas present every month! 


They arrive in pretty orange boxes and this beautiful pool party tissue paper. 



 This months kit is a banner kit! It is adorable! 


You get your picture with directions on how to assemble the kit, 


and all the contents! This one has 2 ink spots! Summer starfruit and pool party, tiny little clothespins, skewers, die cut banners, foam dimensionals, and 3 stamps! This has been the best kit yet I think! 




I really like these stamps. It is nice to have stamps to give a background to different things. 

Now to just figure out what I am going to do with this set. If I had not already had my catalog kick off party I would have used it on my table setting. No birthday's coming up in the family for the near future so I will just have to find something else to use it for.

April My Paper Pumpkin!






The new My Paper Pumpkin kit arrived in my mailbox today! I love getting boxes in the mail but I usually know what is coming because it is something I have ordered and that is exciting enough, but to get a box and have no idea what is in it, takes me back to being a kid and ripping open Christmas presents. So if you have yet to get your April kit in the mail and don't want the surprise spoiled, stop reading now. If you want to see what this months kit looks like, scroll down.













Here is the box. It was still not the pretty orange box that will soon be coming
but it was packaged very nice. Everything was wrapped in tissue with 
a pretty paper pumpkin sticker sealing it shut.




I had to laugh when I opened this because the largest stamp in it (this one contains 3 stamps)
says "seriously" and that happens to be quite a popular phrase in our house. The papers in this kit 
were very cute and I love the stamps in it. It also included buttons, twine, and envelopes. I have not put the cards together yet but will post them as soon as I do. 

If you don't want to miss out on May's My paper pumpkin kit, sign up today to have your 
own surprise delivered directly to your door. Make sure to put me as your demonstrator and I will send you an extra gift!

Project Life update.


Project Life 

If you have been to my blog around the beginning of the year, you know I had intentions to do a Project Life album.  I don't know about you but I always have good intentions to do something (especially around the beginning of a new year) that don't always work out.  I took some pictures here and there but not regularly (with the exception of Disney and I have too many from that, lol) Anyway, here it is the beginning of April and I have not done ANYTHING with project life except upload some pictures from my phone to my computer. Notice I didn't say to be printed but at least they made it to my computer right?  Well that is about to change. With the introduction of Stampin' Up!'s This and That line, it made my renew my goal of completing a project life album this year.  At the moment I am not using all SU products, that may change when I see what all they have in the new IBC, but for now I am using a mixture of SU and a project life core kit. The kit I bought came with an album and it's cute but I prefer the crumb cake linen album I bought from SU for it so I am keeping it for this years album.  I am using the project life protectors as well as the SU divided page protectors because they give me some different layout options so I won't get bored with the same layout over and over.  And the new Rotary Stamp from Stampin' Up! will work wonderfully with this project!!!  The kit arrived in the mail yesterday and after the boys track meet I opened it and got busy uploading my photos to Walmart but that has been it so far.  The photos will get picked up this evening and I hope to show you all a cute layout or two by tomorrow evening!

Another Sneak Peek item!

To say I am excited about these products is an understatement!  If you have been reading my blog, I have wanted to start a project life album this year. Part of my problems were I wanted to use only SU products so that I could show them on my blog and I am using the album and divided protectors but many other items are not SU. NOW I CAN USE STAMPIN' UP! ITEMS!!  I am super excited about the rotary date stamp and washi tapes. The fact that we can order these new catalog items early and at a bundled discount just makes it that much better!!

To see a closer picture click here!  To order this or any other product contact me or use online ordering 24/7

Want to earn free products! Host a Stampin' Up! party!  We can do an online party or in home party. Contact me for details.

Card bouquet


Here is one of the items I used for auction at the quarter auction I participated in this past weekend. It was a card bouquet with 6 handmade cards, an aluminum garden stake made with the big shot and blossom punch, and a free card class for 5 people.  This item did pretty well at the auction and I am planning to make more :)

Garden Stakes

These are garden stakes made with aluminum flashing and the big shot. I took these to the quarter auction on Saturday.

Book marks


Ok, so while you are reading this I will be at a vendor fair. Please wish me luck! This is one of the items I took with me today. These are crumpled flower bookmarks. I have used some double sided DSP, some current and some retired to make these adorable scalloped flowers and turned them into really cute bookmarks. I hope the people at the craft show think they are as cute as I do. Hopefully not everyone has turned to reading all their books on a Kindle like I do making bookmarks obsolete, lol. 
If you are in the area, the vendor fair/quarter auction is taking place at the Village Inn and Suites in Coshocton at 1pm today. Come see me!
