Lindsay's Stamp Stuff Box


Good Morning!!! Hope it's a great one so far! I'm still trying to organize my day. So much to do since we stayed put yesterday during the snow. Which was really nothing, they said we'd get 8in, we didn't even get 1!! Boy would I love that job, you can be wrong 90% of time and not get fired!!! But then when would I get to stamp???
I have a little gift box to share with you today. Normally I avoid 3-d projects as much as I can, bit this one seemed easy, so I gave it a try. I used the template from LSS. Now if you have one of those fancy cutting machines, I think it will cut it out for you. But I just printed it out,
and cut most of it with my table cutter. The 4 small angled cuts, I did with my paper snips. I then used this fun new edge punch from SU and a little sticky strip! And voila, a box! I added papers from basic grey along with SU ribbon and prima flowers. The super cute cherries are from Lindsay.(You can check out the rest of the team's work HERE.) The cherries and upper leaf are "doubled up" with another image and a dimensionsal.
I added a little heart charm as well. Need heart charms??????? Head on over to Whimsy Stamps , where they have a new line of charms and paper flowers at fabulous prices!!!

Belles and Whistles Guest DT


Monday, Monday!!! We had a crazy weekend, so I was actually looking forward to today to rest up a bit! Two kids birthday parties and a 3 hour baby shower can really wear ya out!!!!
I just got my batch of Belles and Whistles guest DT images and could not wait to ink them up!! I chose to use kitty love first mainly because I opened it first!!! I colored her with copics and used a feather blending technique on her hat! I found the tutorial at Copic creations and decided to start small!!! I used YR20 and V12. It's a really fun and easy technique and I think I may be ready to try something a little bigger next time! The papers are basic grey and I used the sketch from Roses on paper challenge blog.
I was at the store the other day and decided to get myself a little treat! I chose the branch punch from Martha Stewart! I just love it! I'm sure you'll be seeing it a lot!!! I'm not sure where the lace is from, I got it from a little goodie bag I won at a challenge. The sentiment is Whimsy Stamps.

Everybody Art......thank you

Teeny TIny




Happy Saturday!!! We have another fun filled day today. We're headed to a birthday party later on for a very special little lady! But first I wanted to share my Saturday spotlight creation with you. This week....The Spotlight Divas would like to challenge you to go the opposite from last week's challenge and think "teeny tiny" when making your creation this week!! ;) Please feel free to interpret this as you see fit!!

When I first heard the challenge, all I could think of was the story I used to hear as a little girl called the "teeny tiny woman" Any one heard of it???? It was one of my favs, just a little scary!!! So I wanted to do something on that theme but I needed to make a baby shower card for a shower tomorrow, so I went that route instead.
What could be a cuter teeny tiny than a baby!! The shower is for a long time friend (almost 20 years I can't believe it!!!) who is pregnant with her first little boy!! I am very excited for her!! And she even asked me to help her register, so that was a fun afternoon too!!!
I chose my favorite image for baby cards from SU's buggies and booties. I also used some of my favorite papers, Parisian breeze. I added some teeny tiny feet and teeny tiny pearls to complete it. And the sentiment is from teeny tiny wishes!
Be sure to check out the rest of the Divas.

First Card Back!


Hi All~ This is my first card back after a week long vacation in sunny warm Florida!!! I'd love to be back there now!! I always find my mojo stays on vacation a little longer than I do! The first card back is always the hardest.
