Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Shelby! It was my daughter's birthday on thursday and sooo I had to make this adorable cupcake holder for her. She is soo into cupcakes and I happen to find this on the Papertrey site and loved it.

Happy Birthday my darling Daughter!

Fun Bulletin Boards

These are the cutest frames that I picked up at Walmart 2 for $5! I took and altered them into corkboards by taking out the plastic and adding the cork. Then I just simply decorated them with ribbon and used build a brads for the push pins. This would make a great little girl gift idea or be great to have your customers make at a Stamp camp. These frames also came in fushia pink and white. So stinkin cute! :)

These mini coaster albums are quite fun and easy to make. I found the pattern online you need the following to complete:

2 pieces of 4 x 10 cardstock for outside cover, one of the sheets I used designer paper the other is cardstock.

2 pieces of 3x12 cardstock for inside

accordian fold for photos. Fold these

in increments of 3inches to get the accordian fold. You also need 15 inches of ribbon for outside cover and 2 pieces of 8 inches for inside accordian ribbon. I attached all pieces with Mono adhesive, you want to use something strong otherwise your book may not stay together. When

you have completed the book embellish it as you wish and add photos.

Something I have yet to accomplish! Have fun!

Baby Shower

I am off to a Baby shower today at noon, and so I had to get out my vintage stamps and make the expectant mom some thank you cards.

The stamp is from Impress and the ink is Fawn also by Impress. The tin is covered with Sky Blue Designer paper, the paper is Confetti, both by SU!. I miss this little stage..... aahh.

Welcome sign

Made this Welcome sign with some MDF board, vinyl flourish design and
black matte welcome expression.
I began by painting the MDF board with latex oatmeal colored paint by Behr. Let it dry and added dry brushing with arcylic burnt umber paint. Let dry and add the vinyl expressions. Wa La! Love it!

Marbled tiles...

I know! it is hard to tell by the photo but these are marbled tiles from your local hardware store! The one of the girls is a photo of them that I copied onto vellum paper and then adhered to the tile with modge podge and then added the love rub on. The tea

cup is stamped with stazon timber brown ink right on the tile and then colored with pink chalks and then set

with polyurothene spray. Very simple project and quite inexpensive

Sock Monkey Card

This card is made from the cute stamp set Sock Monkey. I also used the designer Bella paper...... Happy stamping...

Yo Ho Valentine!

Yo Ho you pirate-ette maties! Here is a quick cute valentine for your girlfriends. The card accompanies the note pad and when you open the notepad there is a pad of paper and matching pen! (Dollar Tree) Arrrrrr!

Valentine Bird Basket

Cute Valentines bird basket made with

the Love you Much stamp set from SU! and the scallop die. Red riding hood designer paper. Filled with

goodies for your loved one.

Guess Hoot Loves you!!!

Adorable Owl made using the SU! scallop and top note dies. I then attached it to a heart shaped large lollipop now found at your local dollar

spot at Target.

Cute Containers

These are the cutest containers my stampin partner in crime Kirstin Davies brought over to play with, we decorated them and filled them with goodies. You can purchase them in a bag of 3 at Target in the dollar spot. What's neat about them is when you are done they fit right back in the bag to give away! So darn sweet!

more valentine stamping.....

Okay, can't get enough of these stamps! Here you will find three envelope

candy treats and one paper weight, if you jet on down to your local target right now they have pink and clear glass paper weights in the dollar spot! Yahoo! Inside the treat holders is one Ghiradelli raspberry chocolate. yum...

Valentine Note card tin...

Love, Love Love these stamps! They are sooo old, but I pulled them out and decided they needed to come to life. This is just one of those 3x5 metal tin boxes that I made a divider in and put Valentine's on one side and of course! chocolate on the other! Girl's must have chocolate!!! LOL

Saying Goodbye.........

Saying goodbye to 2008 and welcoming 2009! Happy New Year to all!

not gone! But I must have been good this year as Santa brought me a new camera! Yahoo! So keep an eye out for postings this week as I now am armed and ready to shoot!
