Everybunny 12 x 12 Double Page Layout


Here's a look at the double page layout on the make n take I had last weekend.  Does that bottom left corner look familiar? Usually when I do a make n take, I always try and have a few extra's pieces cut out especially when it involves the big shot.  I don't like stopping to cut out extra pieces.  I love the Everybunny Stamp Set in the 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog.   

You can take a closer look at the individual pages below.  

Page 1
Page 2

I know this week I have been using the Everyday Enchantment Paper in the SAB catalog, but today is the last day. :o(  If you did not stock up on this paper make sure you place a $50.00 order or more online and get the paper pack free.  I love the fun colors in this paper pack.  If you have any questions, please feel free to email me or leave me a comment.  


If you want to see more SAB inspiration, take a look at all of the SAB 2012 creations.  

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look!

Heaven Blessed Easter Card


Here's a quick Easter Card that I made last week, again I had some leftover pieces sitting on my desk.  I thought instead of putting them away, I should put them on a card.  I love the images from the Heaven Blessed stamp set in the Occasion Mini Catalog.  They are just so cute and fun to watercolor.  If you have not noticed I have been on this water-coloring kick, I find it so relaxing.

Let me know what you think!

Easter Egg Card





I hope you enjoyed yesterday's Blog Hop.

This is a card I made using leftover pieces from a make-n-take that I had over this past weekend.  I cut those paper doilies out so I really wanted to use them.    I just love using them to cover the ovals so they look like decorated Easter Eggs.  The middle small oval/egg, I used a little leftover rick rack from the tasteful trim die to decorate it.
Let me know if you have any questions.  

Thanks for stopping by!

PCS High Tea Blog Hop

*NOTE – High Tea blog hop officially starts March 28th so if you’re here a little early, be sure to come back and see all of the projects the PCS design team has created for you.

Welcome to the Paper Crafters Sampler “High Tea” blog hop featuring our 3D teapot template from the March issue of the Paper Crafters Sampler entitled, “Orange Blossom Tearoom”.   
With the current trend of tea images in the paper crafting world, it only seemed appropriate to offer a tea-related template, and that is our newest “High Tea” 3D, teapot.
Now-a-days, teapot come in so many sizes and shapes, it was easy to select one for my inspiration.  What did you think of what I’ve created ………. 




I had fun making this little teapot.  It would be wonderful for a little girls tea party.  My daughter had a fun time playing with the teapot, pouring little candies out.  

Now, feel free to go back and take another at Regina's teapot images or select the “Click Here” button below and hop on over to Gisela's blog.   



**Leave me a comment here on this post by Friday, March 30th and you will be entered into a drawing for a FREE copy of this months Paper Crafters Sample which includes 8 fabulous projects and this adorable template so you can make your very own teapot.


Thanks for stopping by!

Elementary Elegance Birthday Card - Redo

This is one of the four cards I gave my Hostess for the workshop I had this past weekend.  She likes red so I thought I would do the same card that we did at the workshop but use Poppy Parade.  I wanted to also show my customer how you can easily change a card around using the same design but different colors; Poppy Parade, Pool Party, Natural Ivory and Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper.  I love the Peach Parfait and Pool Party but after I made this card, I really like these colors too.  I hope you enjoy the card.  

Let me know if you have any questions.

Uncharted Territory Birthday Card


Here's a card the other card that I had for my workshop.  I used Sketch # 25 of Freshly Made Sketches from last week.  When I made it last week, I had the intention to upload on Freshly Made Sketches.  Oh course it also seems to take longer to get the pictures taken and uploaded.  

When I want to make an masculine card and I need a little inspiration, I always take a look at the sketches from Freshly Made Sketches.  I can always come away with a great sketch and a great looking masculine card.

The Textured Impressions Embossing Folder - Stripes is one of the SAB 2012 Freebie Items.  

I hope you enjoy the card, let me know what you think.

This is one of the Make-N-Take cards for a workshop I had this past weekend.  I love the Peach Parfait and Pool Party colors together.  Since I only get to play with these colors together for a little longer, I am going to play away.  I hope you enjoy the card.

Blossom Thank You Card


I had to make a bunch of thank cards last week and I wanted to play with the Simply Scored Diagonal Plate, I love the plate BTW.  This is the card I decided to make.  It would have been a easy card without the sponging but I wanted to highlight the score lines and I think you have to sponge with this SAB Designer Series Paper because it already has some shading on the paper.  

BTW:  I love the Simply Scored Tool but I just love it with the Diagonal Plate.  

Let me know if you have any questions.

Wisteria Wonder Doily Easel Card


Sorry it has been over a week since my last post.  Lately I have been so busy stamping that I have neglected things around the house, so I took some time off from stamping.  The other day when I sat down to stamp, this is the card I created, do you like?  I know this one did take some time but since it is a birthday card for my mother, I wanted to spend a little extra time on it.  

First I grabbed some paper from the Flirtatious Specialty Designer Series Paper.  I stamped my Doily Stamp with White Craft and Embossed with White Embossing Powder.  I took my card base in Wisteria Wonder and the new Simply Scored Diagonal Plate to make my lattice background.  I used the Wisteria Wonder Ruffled Ribbon and the Whisper White Organza Ribbon to make the rolled flowers.  I added some pearls and a double loop organza bow to add to the extra softness to the card.   

Thanks for stopping by!
