Sour Cream Container

These are so easy and look like you spent a huge amount of time creating them. The possibilities are endless as to what you can fill them with.

These are great little favors for parties. I made this last night at one of my Stamping meetings. You would not know it until you opened it up but there are gum balls in there that my kids would love to get at!!!

Tart and Tangy Suspension Card

I whipped up this card tonight for a co-worker who has a special day tomorrow. She will love it as it is bright and sunny. It is also my first attempt at a suspension card. I think it turned out pretty well for a first try.

Supplies used: Designer paper, Stamps:Tart and Tangy and Happy Everything, Certainly Celery ribbon, SU Real Red ink and marker and my fav~ the scallop punch!

Tart and Tangy

So Summery! Here is my version of a card I saw on Splitcoaststampers. What a resource that site is.

Supplies Used: Tart and Tangy Stamp set, matching SU designer paper, Ruby Red marker and ink pad. Scallop punch and SU round punches. Bold Brights cardstock in red and orange.

Back to Scrapbooking

It seems like it has been so long since did any scrapbooking. I really have to get back at it. REALLY!!! I am so far behind it is not funny.

Tonight I made a 8x8 double page for a SU friend that is about to have a baby next month.A bunch of us have gotten together and we are each creating pages for an album to surprise her with.

Here is my addition to the album. I wanted to do something different than the usual powder blue for a little boy. So....I went a little darker and included green too and what little boy does not like frogs?

Supplies Used: Wild Asparagus Paper. Sorry..not SU on this project. Stamp Set - So Very and Pun Fun; notch/ticket punch; photo tab punch; brocade blue ink.

Mini Occasion Catty - Extended to June 30th

SU has extended the expiry date on this catty. We can continue to enjoy it to June 3oth now!

Look What Arrived Today!

Love the deliveries from SU - always exciting!

My Loonies for Little's Kit arrived and it is cute. I love that everything I need to create an album is in the SU storage bag - and the best part is that the stamps are die-cut. Gotta love that. No cutting, just punch out and mount. I really do wish that all SU stamps were like that. All I have to do is pull out the adhesive and I am good to go.

Yep..I know what I will be working on this weekend.

Card Swap ** Updated with Swap Photos at bottom

I was recently involved in a card swap. I will post photos later of the fabulous cards I received. ** See bottom of post!

This was one of my contributions. The really cute one I added is now sitting on my co-workers desk so sorry, no photo! This is just a small 3 x 3 card - small enough to add to a gift bag for a kids' party. I left off the sentiment so that it could be personalized however.

I used my best buddies " All in the Family" stamp set (Thanks...I guess I better return them hey? :-)

Designer paper and lots of ink. You know me... I do like to make things look distressed. Too bad the photo is not that great becuase it is a cute little card with the puppy image popped out with dimensionals.

** UPDATED 05/04/08

Okay, I finally got around to posting some photos of the great cards I received in this swap. Check them out! Gotta love the cute onesie card for a baby and those cut outs are using the scallop punch too!
