Did someone say S'MORE?

Good morning! I hope you're having a fantastic week so far! :)

I know today's SEEMS to be an Easter project, but it doesn't HAVE to be. :D They make PEEPS for every holiday now, I think! LOL!We had a great time making these at my party two weeks ago, and I think they make adorable gifts!

SO. Products are pretty simple; Pretty in Pink card stock, ink, and 1/4" grosgrain ribbon. 2'3/8" scallop circle punch and 1-3/4" circle punch. Chocolate Chip card stock and ink, Very Vanilla card stock, and MY DIGITAL STUDIO to do the directions. We also used the Very Vintage jumbo wheel to decorate, dimensionals to pop the medallion up and to hold the contents in, and the 3"x5" cello bags were what we put the goodies in, of course. :)

Here's what it looks like when you open it up:


They're really just too cute for words. They'd make a fantastic birthday treat for a kids' classroom, or Sunday school treats, or or or! :D

OK, I'm outta here. Go STAMP something, will ya?!? :D

You're going to want this wheel!

Good Monday morning! It's another beautiful, sunny day here in middle Tennessee - after a rainy, cloudy weekend. :)

Speaking of weekend, it was our Spring Quick Card Class Saturday! We had a BALL making these cards - and you're going to want to pick up your own Very Vintage Jumbo Stampin' Around Wheel after seeing today's card!


It's SO elegant, and simple! You could put together a whole BUNCH of these in a quick period of time - and change the color scheme to suit. What a pretty wedding thank-you card this would be!

Card stock: Whisper White, Basic Black

Ink: Basic Black

Stamp Sets: Thank You Kindly, Define Your Life ("gratitude", inside)

Accessories: Very Vintage Jumbo SA Wheel, jumbo handle, Basic Black jumbo ink cartridge, black gingham ribbon, scallop oval punch, wide oval punch, dimensionals

I can't stop thinking about different colors this would look great in - we have red gingham ribbon, too, which would give this almost a French country look. It would look great in just about any color that we have 1/4" grosgrain ribbon in - and you would definitely change the look if you used wider ribbon!

Quick post!

Good morning, dear friends! Sorry I'm a bit late; I'm tired. :)

Today's share is from late February parties! It's a BUNCH of fun! :D

Most of the products we used are from the Occasions Mini, which is good until the end of April. The designer series paper, however, is the paper pack you can earn for FREE when you place an order during Sale-a-bration. IT ENDS THE END OF THE MONTH! Get your orders in NOW, people! :D

The Very Vintage wheel is done in Blush Blossom on both cards; the color card stock is Melon Mambo or Bermuda Bay - and that's the ONLY difference on both cards! Inside, we used one stamp and the different Stampin' Write Markers to match the card stock.

OK, I'm off! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me! I LOVE knowing you're out there! :D

Have a WONDERFUL day - and be SURE to take the time to STAMP something!

Has this been a long week??

Isn't it Friday yet? :D Phew. I feel like I need a new battery! :D

Here's a great announcement from Stampin' Up!:

The Red Cross is already well-established in Haiti, and this money will be used to provide immediate relief and long-term support through supplies, technical assistance and other support to help those in need.

This is a simple and straightforward plan; the more stamp sets you buy, the greater the difference you make. Often it is the simplest plans that work best!

To order this stamp set, or any other products - why not get some more toys, and save on the shipping? :) - just go to my business site, and click on the SHOP NOW button in the top right corner!

Edited to add: I am SO proud to be a part of this company! Please click to go to Shelli's Blog, and see what ELSE the company has done!

So: some of you have asked about the test tubes and corks. They are NOT a Stampin' Up! product - but wouldn't it be GREAT if they were? :D For now, however, we have to purchase them elsewhere. If I get enough people interested, I will coordinate a share of some of them - the more we purchase, the cheaper they are. :) So leave me a comment or drop me a line. Of course, if you get some, I'll want to see what you did with your STAMPIN' UP! PRODUCT and the test tubes! :D

OK. On with today's share - which is another fun item from the Valentine Stamp Camp!

EVERYONE is surprised when they see this mini milk carton - because it IS a mini! :) This is pretty much full-size, what you see on your screen!

We used Regal Rose for the main color, and the new Very Vintage wheel from the Occasions Mini - as well as the mini milk carton die from the Occasions Mini.


I wanted to show that the wheel will coordinate with OTHER stamps we carry, so we also used the FRESH CUTS stamp set. We used ink to age things, and punches for the little accent you see here. :) Isn't it a great little accent? We put votive candles in this carton; it's just big enough to hold it! And we used our mini library clips to close them - SO fun, because you don't have to worry about tearing the carton apart to get to the "prize inside"! :)

OK, I'm outta here - I still have prep work for Saturday's Stamp-a-Stack. Busy, busy, busy! :) I hope you have a fantastic day! Be SURE to take the time to STAMP something!!!

It's a Butterfly Party!

Good morning! I just have a few moments to post - I'm off to get my hair cut, FINALLY! :D But I wanted to share this card we did at our parties this last weekend - the Occasions Mini is PACKED with fun things to work with! :)

OK, I'm off! Have a WONDERFUL day - and be sure to take the time to STAMP SOMETHING!! :)
