Packed for Baby

Here is my first card with the set called, "Packed for Baby" from the Stampin Up Occasions Mini Catalog. I didn't get a chance to use many of my stamps before we moved so this is the first time out of the box for this little stamp. There are 3 more stamps that are similar to this stamp set that can be purchased separately or as a bundle. I am working on a card with the "Packed for Dad" stamp that I will try and post tomorrow.

This card was inspired by the Paper Players Challenge this week. The Challenge was to use buttons. You can check out all the great cards created for this challenge or post your own and play along at http://thepaperplayers.blogspot.com/

Stamps: Packed for Baby (Stampin Up Occastion Mini) Teeny Tiny Wishes (Stampin up Catalog)
Paper/Ink: Crumb Cake, Night of Navy, Soft Suede, Old Olive.

Mixed Bunch St. Patrick's Day Treats

Here is a very quick project I put together for my daughters bus driver and teacher. I though I had one more day but I forgot that there was no school on Friday so tomorrow is the last school day before St. Patrick's Day. As I said, QUICK project! Inside the box (made with the Fancy Favor Die) is a bag of Peppermint Patties. Now if these were not going to school I probably would have gone with an airplane bottle of Peppermint Schnapps with the mints. :)

I still have not found my designer paper that is buried in the garage from the move. I can now say that the one pack on the Patterns Designer Series Pack that I can find is turning out to be super versatile!

This project uses the set Mixed Bunch and the matching punch from the Stampin Up Spring Mini catalog. The colors are Garden Green, and a little Wild Wasabi, and the ribbon is Pear Pizzazz. The words are from the set Teeny Tiney Wishes (p 157 Stampin Up Catalog).

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a great St. Patrick's Day!

Flower Fest Card

Hello Again! I am back for my second post from the new house. I still have not found all my designer paper but I am working with what I have found so far. Ahhh....moving is so fun :) I did this card for the challenge on the Paper Players Blog. I needed some inspiration today to get me going! You can check out the sketch and all the great cards that were designed from it at http://thepaperplayers.blogspot.com/2012/02/challenge-84-sketch-from-leanne.html

So we have moved from Tri Cities, WA, which is pretty sunny to just out side of Seattle where we have found out it really does rain a lot! It is very pretty, and I love all the green, but it is overcast most days. I needed some bright colors to work with today to make up for lack of sun so I went with some Elegant Eggplant, Melon Mambo, Lucky Limeade, and some Wisteria Wonder. I liked the bright colors popping through the dark background.

The stamp set is Flower Fest( Stampin UP Catalog p 124) which is a great set to color. Even my four year old had to get in on the action and wanted to stamp and color some. The sentiment is from Petite Pairs (Stampin UP Catalog p 164).

Thanks for stopping by today!

Watermelon Card

Hello! I am back!!! We are almost settled in to our new house in Maple Valley, WA. I snuck out some supplies and made this card last night for the Mojo Monday sketch challenge. I still have not found the box with all my designer paper in it so I had use what I could find.

I was really excited to get this set, Mouthwatering, out of the box. I ordered all my new stamps from the mini before we moved and then didn't get a chance to use any of them. I know boo hoo for me :) Hopefully things will slow down again soon and I will have some more time to spend in my new stamp room.

News Update!

Hi Everyone! Sorry I have been missing in action. Right around Christmas my husband was promoted to a new job that requires us to move. We found a new house, have ours on the market and will be moving the end of next week to our new home in the Seattle Area. It is very exciting but has been a lot of work. My craft room had the most stuff in it so it was one of the first rooms to get cleaned out. :(

My new house has a great space that will soon be my new craft room and I will be up and running again soon. Please look for some new projects and posts in March. This has been a very crazy time for us but hopefully things will be slowing down soon.

Thanks to everyone who checks in! You will be hearing again from me soon!

Christmas Nuggets

This is just a quick little post today. I have stamp clubs tonight and I have to go clean my house! This is another nugget bag made with It's a Wrap Holiday Set (Holiday Mini Catalog) and Snow Much (Stampin Up Catalog).

Off to clean! Have a great day!

Holiday Tags

Wait! Stop! If you are in my clubs and want to be surprised don't look any farther because I think we will be making these next week as one of our projects!!!

Here are some tags I made with the Two Tags die (p 222 Stampin Up Catalog). These were so easy and fast to make. I think they will look great on packages or even on bags of candy or bottles of wine. Below I put them in a package that would also make a nice gift for someone. The Sets I used on these are (from left to right) Easy Events, Christmas Lodge (Holiday Mini), Snow Much Fun, and Pines & Poinsettias (Holiday Mini). The colors are Olive, Espresso, Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler, Marina Mist, and Letters to Santa Designer Paper.

Thanks for coming by today!
