Two Sweet, Two Cute, and Two Charming

That about says it all for these two. I made this for my mother-in-law. It's not was I was originally going to make her, but I ordered the wrong size of something and now have to re-order. I'm hoping this holds her over. LOL I wanted to keep it relatively simple and flat so that she can frame it. The dimensions are 8x8.

Feeling Springish

Well I guess being in Florida, feeling springish isn't so hard to believe. But I found these pictures of my nephew and niece from a couple of years ago, and couldn't help but be inspired to make a scrapbook page. It was perfect because I needed a page to demonstrate at an SU party as well. These kids are just way too photogenic! I love the way her jacket matches the Baja Breeze card stock and the slide matches the Barely Banana card stock perfectly. The Good Friends stamp set was a perfect fit for the sunny day. The layout is so versatile and looks great with a single 5x7 also. Don't forget, you can click on the images to view them larger. Thanks for looking, comments are always appreciated!

My New Favorite

My Big Shot that is! It's finally here and those of you that have it, will understand my excitemet. If you don't have it...you need to get it! ;o) Seriously, I can not believe I held out for so long. I just couldn't wait to christen it. So even though I needed to prep for my workshop that night, Saturday morning I opened it and started die cutting away! And it really was just the thing I needed to start the creative juices flowing. Here is my first creation with it. I almost didn't get a chance to photograph it, as my friend tried to steal it Saturday night. She agreed to let me keep it and photograph it if I promised to bring it to work Monday for her. LOL The Flock Together Designer Series paper is breathtaking in person. Try not to look too closely at my "free-hand" paper piercing.

The Best Gift Card Holders Ever!

At least I think so. I got the idea and directions from the incredibly talented Kimberly VanDiepen. She really is amazing and I just LOVE this one. I am making these for a workshop tomorrow for my WONDERFUL friend Kerrianne. I will change the design, as this one uses retired designer paper, but I will be sure to post the new one once I create it. I just got in a huge delivery from Stampin' Up!, just a little excited about it in case you can't tell. My Big Shot is finally here! I should have lots to post in the coming days. So enough talking about it, here it is:

Isn't it too cute?! You can find the directions on Kimberly's site here. Be careful, you could spend all day on her site.
