Betsy's Blossoms

See!  As promised another post!  This card is done with a set that is in the NEW Stampin Up Catalog that comes out next month called Betsy's Blossoms.  It also uses two new In Colors you will find in the new catalog called Primrose Petals and Raspberry Ripple.  I love getting to use new stamp supplies!  I finished a few other cards with this set this weekend so check back tomorrow for another card!

Paper Flowers For Teacher

This last week was Teacher Appreciation Week at my daughters school.  They had a different theme each day of the week.  Monday was bring your teacher a flower.  I decided to make a paper version for her to bring.  That way these will still look nice until the end of the school year! 

The flowers are made from the Daises #2 die from Stampin Up that is being retired this month...which is a bummer!  Although I know they will come up with more fabulous dies to take its place, I hate to say goodbye to this one.

If you are looking for this vase I found it at Walmart for $2.98 which made this a nice inexpensive project!

I actually found some time to stamp this weekend so stop back by tomorrow to check out some other projects I got done!  Have a wonderful Day :)

Good Morning! Here is the Packed for Dad card I was working on yesterday. Hmmm... guess maybe now I will have to finish the set and pack for mom and pack for birthday. You can find these stamps on p 39 of the Stampin Up Occasions Mini Catalog.

Ink/Paper: More Mustard, Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Whisper White

Have a great day :)

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.
