For Olivia!

I made these letters for my mother-in-law to give to her neighbor who recently had a baby. I love the name Olivia. I used a retired Designer Paper. Of course the name has skipped my mind. I know one of my fellow demo's will remember and remind me. I used several different embellishments that are mostly Stampin Up!

I made the above card using Sweet Pea DSP and Circle Circus (one of my faves for sure)! I used Chocolate chip, so saffron, bermuda bay and dusty durango cardstock. Bummer but that is retired chocolate chip ribbon.

This is a close up of a similar card with different stamps. I raised some of the circles with dimensionals. Hoping you day is fantastic.

The Cutest Easter Basket

I had such a blast making these baskets for my We Stamp swap. I made 12 of these fun and cute Easter baskets. I actually cased these from Stamping Moon. You can see her version of several of these on her blog here. She has a link to the tutorial on Splitcoast by Lynn Put but you can see it here. I used Razzleberry lemonade DSP. The flowers are made from several sizes of circles crinkled up over and over. The corduroy brad is actually a pretty in pink one that I dyed with my re-inker and water. Hoping you have a wonderful day!

Here Fishy, Fishy!

I am back! Whoo! It has been awhile but I have been busy creating and hopefully will have a few things to share in the upcoming weeks.

For this cute as ever fishy card I used the Sweet Pea paper pack. I love that paper. I Used the five point flower to create the tails and fins and the ornament punch for the body on the fish. I have seen several people creating these awesome fish but can't remember where I saw it first. What a great idea. I love using punches in different ways than they were created for. Dusty Durango and
Bermuda Bay with a little bit of Old Olive make a great combo I think. Below you can see a little more detail on the fish. I hope you are having a fantastic week.

I have been MIA for awhile. Things have been very crazy around here. We had 5 graduations and 5 birthdays in the month of May. I also had my gall bladder out. Woohoo! I am glad it is June. Hopefully I will get time to post some new cards soon.

I wanted to direct you to an awesome blogger. Mary Fish. She has done an awesome display of the new in colors for you to see. You may check them out on her blog http://www.stampinpretty.com/ I hope she doesn't mind but she is a favorite of mine to check out everyday. Check out her stamp room also, you will be jealous.

I have made some thank you cards because I was about to have my first real estate transaction. Unfortunately, today I found out it may not go through. I am going to keep my hopes up and I will be ready when I sell my first house~~~
