My 4 year daughter, Danika helped me to make this card for a birthday party we went to on Saturday. Danika is a Hannah Montanah fan and so we couldn’t stop singing Butterfly Fly Away while making this card!!! It is still stuck in my head!

I love this card but it was NOT my idea. I CASED it from the very talented Andrea Walford. I just changed the papers and colors a little bit.

Here is a close up of those super cute butterflies that I cut with my big shot and my new butterfly embosslet (from the mini catalog)…

This card was so easy to make that I am going to make a bunch more just like it so that I am stocked up on female birthday cards!!! It will be a good rainy day project for me and my sweet girls.

Have a fabulous Monday!

I can’t believe I haven’t posted in so long. Well I guess I can believe it. It has been insane around my house these past 2 weeks! My kids have had so many doctor and specialist appointments! Plus I have been doing my classroom observations for school. I have been running around all day and sleeping like a rock all night. No stamping time for me The card I have today, I actually made nearly 3 weeks ago and it just took this long to get it photographed and posted. But I love the card so I think it is worth the wait!

Everyone has been making various versions of these little paper flowers and so I had to try it out myself! I am in love! You can expect to see more of these bad boys!!!! I made mine using patterned paper from SU! and 4 different sized circle punches. Then I just crumpled the paper really good and then stuck them together with a brad in the center. I added a cute button for some decoration but you could just leave it with the brad. I also added some leaves with my oval punch. Here is a close up…..

I love the curvy look of my sentiment. It is a set new to me from the SU! mini catalog.

Hope you all have a great weekend! I am looking foward to some down time. Maybe even some stamp time!

I love to send little holiday treats to my kids school teachers as well as the piano teacher and the dance teacher. My love language is gifts so I am always sending gifts to others!

This year I really didn’t get as creative as in previous years. You have seen this project on my blog before! But it is cute and simple so I decided to use it again! I use the big shot Top Note and small brown paper bags (from Michaels) to make a fun treat bag to fill with chocolate!

The hearts are from the stamp set Love You Much and the words are from my brand new  Well Scripted stamp set. Both are SU! sets. The ribbon is from Michaels and was only $1.

We are off to buy a new (and much needed) TV today and then I have class this afternoon. I don’t see any stamping time in my day I got my SU order but 4 things were on backorder. And they were the things I was most looking foward to getting!!!

I re photographed some cards to show ya!

The card I have for you today is one of the make and takes from my Stampin’ Up! party from a little over a week ago. My friend, Jill, did a great job with the make and takes. She knows that I love the Season of Frienship stamp set!!!

I was excited to try one of the new punches! And of course I ordered it!!! And my order is in and Jill is bringing it to me tomorrow. I am so excited and can’t wait to get stamping!!!

I have a super simple card to share today that is all Stampin’ Up……

I am such a fan of brown and pink. They are happy colors for a mommy of 3 girls!

As I look at this card I am thinking about a very special friend who is moving away in 2 weeks. I am selfishly so sad to see her leave as she is one of those friends that is always there when you need her. Thanks to Facebook, we will still "talk" often I am sure……but it’s never the same as seeing her and her sweet babies! So anyone who lives in Nashville- you are about to get one super awesome family heading your way.

Hope you have a fantastic day! I am heading out to get my hair cut and colored so it is a happy day for me!

Thanks for the sweet comments you have been leaving me this past week. I am so happy to be making time to stamp and blog again! So fun!

Today I have a very simple Valentine card to show you. I made a couple of these in just a few minutes!

I made the hearts with a SU punch. The pearls are from the SU Pretties kit. But guess what- I found half back pearls. Michaels sells them now! And they have adhesive backs. And they come in lots of colors. Sweet! Obviously someone from Michaels was reading my blog and decided to make me extra happy by selling half back pearls! LOL

I was a sweet friend who always seems to be putting a smile on my face. A couple of weeks ago I was complimenting her on her cute boots. I mentioned that I had never owned a pair of boots. The very next time I saw her, she had a bag with 2 pairs of boots that she was handing down to me!!!! Happy Dance!!!! And they fit!!!! Well this dear friend makes jewlery and sells it. She loves all my crafts. She is own of those people who reuses every card I ever give her! Love it! So I decided I needed to make her some cute little bags that she could use to package up her cute jewlery for some special customers. This is what I came up with….

These are simple little bags made with little brown paper bags that I cut down to be 3 inches tall. I bought them at Michaels. Then I used the top note and the butterfly dies in my big shot to decorate the bags.

I just can’t get enought of these butterflies!!! I have used this die too many times to count. So I am super excited about the Butterfly Embosslit in the Occasions Mini Catalog! I am having a Stampin’ Up! party on Friday night and that bad boy is already on my order form!!!!

Have a happy day!

I am posting 2 days in a row!!! Crazy!!! But I am taking advantage of the fact that I have my husband home so much more now that he has graduated from nursing school. Plus, this cold, rainy, windy weather is perfect for stamping. Today I have a trio of cards to show you. When I made them, I was thinking they if I get some vanilla envelopes (I’m out!) and package them up pretty, these cards would make a nice little gift for any one of my super sweet friends!

I used the Upsy Daisy stamp set and the DSP is paper that SU! put out last Valentine’s Day. I still have a lot!

Thanks for stopping by to visit!

Ok so I have not posted in FOREVER. But the truth is that I stopped stamping completly during the fall. With the kids and my classes- l was just too tired, busy and not in the mood. But I am trying realy hard to get back to my stamping. Creating something always puts me in a good mood.

But I have to warn you…..I have not gotten any new stamps or paper in a very long time! I have a SU! party coming up this month and I can’t decide what to get! So many good things!!!! I am thinking that butterfly embosslit will be mine soon!!!!

Here ia card I made about a week ago. I used it as a birthday card for a little girl but since there is no sentiment on the front, it could really be used for anything!!!  I am still addicted to those flatback pearls from the Pretties kit but yesterday when I was at Michael’s I saw that the Recollections brand sells sheets of them with adhesive already on them. And in LOTS of colors. I might have to get some of those!!!

It is a very simple card. It is the first card I had stamped in about 3 months so I needed to go easy on myself! I did stamp the butterflies a second time on scraps and cut them out and pop them up with demensionals for a little interest.

Do you guys mind seeing my digi scrapbook pages? I have plenty of these but didn’t know if anyone was interested.

I am making no promises about when I will be back…..but I did stamp several cards yesterday! Just have to photograph them!

Happy crafting!

I am going to my soon-to-be sisiter in law’s wedding shower on Saturday. I HAD to make the card! I mean I haven’t bought a card in like 3 years!!!! Bought it had to be quick since I only had a few minutes during kid nap time to stamp!

The wedding colors are Baby Blue (how dare them not know SU colors?!!!) and Chocolate Brown. So I went with Bashful Blue and Chocolate Chip. Plus I added in some White because it seems like a wedding color! I usued Baraque Motifs stamp set and embossed the swirls with clear embossing powder. The sentiment came from some old SU rub ons. And the hat pin and pearls came from the Pretties kit.

It is pretty simple. But I think it is elegant and much better than store bought!
