Quick Valentine Treat Idea
Filed Under 3D, Big Shot, Valentines | Leave a Comment
I like to make my kid’s teachers a treat at just about every holiday. They work very hard and I like to show my appreciation. The problem is that my kids have a combined 11 teachers! Plus the piano teacher! That is a lot of treats! So I am always on the look for inexpensive and fast ideas! Well last week I came across this super cute treat bag and so I had to make some of my own. The best part…I got to use my BIG SHOT DIE CUT MACHINE!
I just cut 2 pieces of Chocolate Chip cardstock with my top note die in the Big Shot Die Cut Machine. I then glued one to the front and one to the back of a small brown paper bag that I cut down to be shorter than the top notes. I am not positive where I got the bags- but I think it was at Target.
I just had to paper piece those birds again!!! Don’t forget that you only have until January 31st to get these cute stamps at 20% off! Just click HERE for more info.
Recipe:
Stamps: Love You Much, Hugs & Wishes
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, Pink Pirouette, Candy Lane DSP
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Whisper White
Other: 3 heart punch, top note die, Big Shot Die Cut Machine, large circle punch, Word Window Punch, Pink Pirouette Ribbon

A Spring Day!
Filed Under Cards, Copics | 2 Comments
So the high today in Casa Grande, AZ is 79 degrees!!! Crazy! But so nice! It feels like spring. I have been wearing capris and flip flops this week! And so here is a nice spring card…
I used a hostess set that just retired on Sunday. It had never seen ink!!!! Crazy! But over the weekend, I really wantd to color with my Copic markers and so I pulled this stamp set out! I am sorry the sentiment is so blurry in the picture but it says "A Nice Word is like a Spring Day."
Here is a close up of the coloring…
I think I am getting better with the copics, but I still have a ways to go.
Recipe:
Stamps: Serene Spring
Paper: Maine Blueberry DSP, Not Quite Navy, Bashful Blue, Whisper White
Ink: Black Archival Brilliance
Other: Scallop Edge Punch, White Gel Pen, Bashful Blue Taffeta Ribbon, Copics Markers, Bashful Blue Button

Where oh where is my mojo?
Filed Under Uncategorized | 3 Comments
Still no stamping mojo!!!! I have gone through idea books and magazines. I browsed my favorite blogs and craft websites. I went through my patterned paper and all my stamp sets to see if something would get me excited. Nothing!!!! So I have taken a break. I went for a walk, did some errands and caught up on some shows I had saved on Tivo. Still nothing!!!
What do you do when you loose your stamping/scrapping mojo?? Please leave me a comment with your suggestion!
Again- if you see my mojo somewhere- send it back right away!!!

Some Sweets!

Where oh were is my mojo? Has anyone seen it? I must have left it in Orlando!!! Yesterday, I got all my chores done in the morning and saved 2 hours for crafting in the afternoon. I made NOTHING!!! I tried. But nothing happened! So today I am showing you the last project I had made before my trip. Hopefully I will have another project tomorrow, but if I am MIA, you will know that I am still searching for my stamping mojo.
Anyway, I have a sweet little card today that holds one of the Ghiradelli chocolate squares…
And the inside…
Wouldn’t this be a fun treat for the teachers at school or for your co workers on Valentine’s Day?
BIG NEWS- New catalogs are in the house!!!! The UPS man didn’t even knock (or maybe the kids were so loud that I didn’t hear) but I kept looking out the window finally- I saw a box. Holly cow! This is an amazing catalog!!! I love the new Manhatten Style watch, the cordoroy buttons, new Big Shot dies ( a butterfly!) and textured plates. Seriouslly- how am I ever going to decide what to order first??!!! Any suggestions????
Alright- I am going to go read my catalog in bed. Oh come on! You know you do it too!!!
If you see my mojo- kindly send it back to me!

Happy Birthday, Kyler!!!
Filed Under Cards, Pictures of the kids | 2 Comments
I cannot believe that my "baby" is 5 today!!!! He is actually my oldest- but as I always tell him "you are always my baby." Isn’t he handsome?
Of course he is!!!!
Kyler is having a birthday party with some of his (and my!) friends this weekend. I have to admitt that I actually sent out an evite. It is just so much easier for everyone to RSVP!!! But then I made some invites for some of his friends from school and piano class that I did not have email addresses for. I love the way they turned out! Kyler said that they are "cool." I wanted to play our new wii but told myself I couldn’t until the invites were made. An hour later I was playing wii!!!
Here is a peak at the inside…
I used my cmputer and printer to write all the details!

I was cleaning up my desk a little yesterday and I came across my Christmas thank you notes. Bummer! Didn’t I mail those?!! Oh well!!! A late thank you note is better than none at all, right?
So here they are…
I kept them super simple since I had lots to make and I wasn’t feeling well t the time. I actually cased the layout from Becky Roberts. I like that it is post card style so I didn’t have to do too much writing!!! And I am still loving that Ski Slope paper! I think it will be great for some holiday scrapbook layouts that I want to make! If you love it too- place an order now cause the Holiday Mini will be going away on the 18th of this month!!!!
So if I have any family members reading this- I put them in the mail today!!!
Recipe:
Stamps: Big Bold Birthday
Paper: Ski Slope DSP, Real Red, Whisper White
Ink: Baja Breeze, Real Red, Old Olive
Other: Big Shot Die Cut Machine, Top Note Die, Real Red Grosgrain Ribbon
