I had exactly 10 minutes to stamp today (when I was supposed to be doing my homework. he he he). So this card is super simple. We all need simple cards sometimes!

The card is 4 1/4 x 4 1/4. The stamp set is a hostess set called Apple Blossom. The colors are Pumpkin Pie, Pacific Point, Poppy Parade, and Pear Pizzazz. That’s a lot of P’s!!!

I guess I really NEED to get back to my homework! BOO! Hope everyone else is getting some stamping time!

I had a little open house on Friday night. I had a great time stamping with "old" and new friends!!!! (Even if you girls couldn’t share and didn’t listen to directions!!! lol)

This is one of the cards that they made….

I made a similar card a few weeks ago. This card is super simple. The clouds were sponged using a punched scallop circle as a mask. The stamp set is Season of Friendship (which is going down as one of my all time favorite sets!). And you have to love the little pearl for the bird’s eye. The colors are Not Quite Navy, Pear Pizzazz, and Chocolate Chip.

I am sorry that I can’t post daily. With my school work, volunteering at the kids school and starting a new job soon- my time is maxed out!!! I will do my best to steal some stamping time a few times a week. I have some new stamps on the way and I can’t wait!!!!

Don’t forget about my scrapbook class and class by mail kit!!!

Happy stamping my friends!

So the other night I was using the Sweet Scoops stamp set and made several cards as possible make-and-takes for my Open House tomorrow night. After stamping so much ice cream, the next day I HAD to take the kids to the brand new Baskin Robbins in our area. YUM!!!!! We used to live down the street from a Cold Stone. But when we moved here, we were so sad to discover they didn’t have any ice cream shops! So of course I was doing a happy dance when the Baskin Robbins opened this week! I already got my frequent visitor card.

I used a texture plate agin on that white layer. And I just couldn’t help but use more of the Island Oasis DSP. Do you have this DSP and the Sweet Scoops stamp set yet? Well you are running out of time!!!! The Summer Mini ends at the end of this month. So email me or just click on the Shop Now link.

So excited for my Open House tomorrow night!!! (And I am serving ice cream!!!)

I had a pretty crummy day today. But stamping and Glee at the end, make it seem a little more bearable!

Here is another sneak peak of some new DSP and stamps that will be available starting September 1st in the Holiday Mini catalog!

I tried to color the mittens with ink and a blender pen. But I am not exactly good with the coloring! I should probably just claim that the kids did the coloring!

Happy stamping!

I love making cute little treat containers for friends, teacher and the kids’ classes! So when I saw the milk carton Big Shot die, it was love at first sight!!!! I made this first one for the hostess of my workshop last Friday.

I couldn’t help myself….I had to make another one of those paper flowers with circle punches! (I also HAD to taste test the M&Ms I put inside. I am all about quality control!)

This carton really matches the card I posted a few days ago….

Now who wouldn’t want to get this fun little ensemble?!

So I am a little nervous! I am working on my last 2 classes to get my Secondary teaching certification. Tomorrow I am starting a new practicum and it is in an Economics class. Me? Teaching high school Economics? I know about as much about Economics as my husband knows about stamping!!!! Crazy!!!!  So keep your fingers crossed for those poor students! (Unless you can’t stamp with your fingers crossed. In that case- maybe cross your toes!)

 

At my workshops I am always telling my customers just how EASY stamping is. Well today my 4 year old prooved me right! She made this card BY HERSELF!

Sorry the picture is blurry. But seriously, isn’t my Laynee going to be an amazing SU! demonstrator one day?! I loved watching her use the Big Shot. When it got to the part where it was actually cutting the paper, she would always say "Hard part!" and then use both hands and puch it thru.

Well she was doing so well, that I let her help me finish some swap cards!!! She did the glitter!

And once again, this is the same layout that I have used the past two days.

I used a polka dot texture plate on the white layer. I was asked how I make the impressions so deep. I wanted to share my answer in case anyone else is wondering. All I do is add 2 pieces of scrap cardstock (excellent way to use that leftover Yo Yo Yellow!) to the sandwich. It makes it a little tougher to roll through the Big Shot, but it makes such a nice deep impression!

So do you LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that DSP and cute snowman?!!! Can you see that the DSP has glitter on it?! It is AWESOME!!!Well I am teasing you a bit because these products won’t be available until September 1st. The stamp set is called Cute Christmas and the DSP is Candy Lane. Put it on your must have list!

And didn’t Laynee do a good job on the glitter?! She did it for 21 cards! I now have an assitant!!! Wooo hooo!

Thanks for stopping by!

I loved the layout I used on yesterday’s card so I decided to just keeping using it! No reason to start from scratch every time!

The colors are Not Quite Navy, Pacific Point, Sahara Sand, and Very Vanilla. I used brand new DSP (can’t remember the name!), Curly Verses stamp set, and a bunch of punches for the flower. I also used a texture plate on the Vanilla layer.

If you aren’t totally sick of it, I have another card to show you tomorrow with the same layout! What can I say? I was on a roll!

A lot of my friends told me that when the kids were all in school, I would have so much "me" time. Well they lied! Ha ha ha! My days are so full with car pools, dance, piano, gymnastics, school volunteer hours, kid homework, my homework, classroom observations, orthodontist appointments, speech therapy, etc, etc, etc! Yikes! I have never been busier!!! Some days I love it. Other days, like yesterday, I just want to cry if I have to drive another mile!!!

So today I allowed myself to stamp BEFORE doing my homework! It is a benefit of being an adult! ha ha ha! But I needed some stamping time to find my sanity! And it worked!! And I ended up with another adult beverage card. Hmmmm….wonder what’s on my mind……he he he.

I used my Big Shot and a texture plate on the white layer. The stamp set is Cheers to You and the DSP is Island Oasis.

Super simple!

Now back to my newest obsession (and waste of my ‘me’ time)….Glee!

Happy Stamping!

Now that all my kids are in school and my weeks are filled with carpools, homework, classroom volunteering, dance, gymnastics, and piano- I live for the weekends!!!! Family time! Sleeping in! And a LITTLE less busieness! So this card is perfect for a Friday evening!

This stamp set, Cheers to You, is not a new set. But when I got the new Island Oasis DSP from the summer mini, the umbrellas reminded me of this stamp! Try to ignore my terrible coloring. It is just not one of my talents. But I did want to try and show you the Crystal Effects that I put on the drink to make it look more real.

I am off to enjoy my family. Have a happy weekend!

…for ice cream!!!! Seriously, for dinner tonight I had French Fries, Coke, and Chocolate Peanutbutter Cup ice cream! It is called the "Busy Mommy Diet"! Now don’t these ice cream scoops make you crave some ice cream?

It is a super simple card using the Sweet Scoops stamp set and the Island Oasis Designer Series paper from the Summer Mini. The colors are Sahara Sand, Old Olive, Rose Red, Tempting Turquoise, and Pumpkin Pie. The combo just screams "HAPPY" to me!!!

Time for this busy mommy to get some sleep! Happy Stamping!
