Paper Nest Dolls Rubber Stamps

When I went to a scrapbook convention a month or so ago, I bought the cutest stamps by Paper Nest Dolls. This is the first one I've been able to use for a very good friend of mine. Even though, we aren't actual sisters, I feel like we could be so I used the Best Friends/Sister stamp. I practiced with my Copics and have picked up some techniques, but still got to work on it. I still love how this came out.

I also used some Sizzix dies to make the frame and the sentiment. The background paper is Balloon Ride and sparkly tape is  from Close To My Heart.

I hope you like my card as much as I loved putting it together.

Until next time BIG HUGS to you all!

Tag Christmas Card

Hello my friends, I hope your Sunday was awesome and that you are all starting the week with a smile. While looking at a card magazine I saw this tag baby card and wanted to try it, but decided to make it a Christmas card. I made the card base and decided to use embellishments from a Christmas card kit that I bought on clearance a couple of years ago. It was great being able to open that kit up and use some of it.

Everyone please have a wonderful week and BIG HUGS to you all!

Birthday Card

How is everyones Monday going??? I'm actually off for the next 3 days and have several things planned to do.

One of the first things I wanted to do is share with you a birthday card that I made for a friend of mine. I did not use my Cricut, but instead I stamped and used my Copic markers. I made the card a pocket card to hold her gift card.

Enjoy and BIG HUGS to you all!

Disney Notepad and Card

Hello everyone! So happy to be able to post something for you. My job is still keepin me very busy and haven't hardly been able to get into my craft room. However, I was able to make this notepad and matching birthday card for a good friend of mine that I work with. Her birthday was at the end of July, but just now have been able to post it.

This was really easy to make because I used Disney embellishments and paper, which I have A LOT of. It took no time at all to put these together.

Enjoy and BIG HUGS to you all!

Cars Autograph Book

I hope everyone is having a good Sunday. I had to work today, but was off the last 2 days. This week is only a 4 day week which works great for me. My son James and his girlfriend and her son, Jessica and JR went to Disneyworld last week. They were talking about buying JR an autograph book for the trip. I told them I could make him one, customized just for him. So here is the book I made. I used my Cinch to bind it and CARS paper to decorate it, since JR is a very big fan of Lightning McQueen. I made the book 8x8 so they could include photos to go with the autographs. Enjoy!

Big Hugs to you all!

Stamp Camp

Last week I had the opportunity to attend a Stampin Up stamp camp hosted by Wendy Rust. I used to go to these all of the time, but since I have gone back to work I just havent been able to. I really enjoyed myself and loved the projects that Wendy had for us. So I wanted to share with you what we did. I am most certainly going to try and attend these more often.

I hope you enjoy and BIG hugs to you all!

Valentine Project

I bought these clear heart ornaments after Christmas where I only paid 1/2 for these. I saw this done last year and knew I wanted to make these for my small tree that I decorate for different holidays. I used Glitter-It by Beacon for my glue, but have been told you can also use Pledge Floor Wax. I then used Red Glitter from Recollections and ribbon from my stash.

Just A Little Somein, Somein I Made

I had a friend over about a week ago so she could work on a special project she is making for her little boy. While she was working on her thing, I had a hankering to use my Cinch. So, I made me this cute little memo pad to keep in my purse. I used scraps of paper and embellishments that I already had and some scrap ribbon. It is so cute and have had several people ask me to make one for them. Now how fun is that?

Say Cheese

I made this card for my best friends birthday. I just recently bought this stamp and have been dying to use it. I used my Copic markers to color it, but unfortunately forgot to jot down the ones I used.

33 Ways To Stay Creative

Good Evening Everyone! I got this list in an email and decided to decorate it and hang it in my craft room to keep me inspired. I love this list and really happy that it was sent to me.

The papers and embellishments are all from K&Company Brenda Walton, the ribbon is from Life's Journey also by K&Company.

Once I finished the hanging I placed it in a page protector and then added ribbon and it now hangs on the door of my crafting cabinet so I can see and read it on a regular basis.

Big Hugs to you all!
