I loved this little box. I used the milk carton die for it. I just cut the top part and then round the edges to give it the petal look. On the hearts I did the rock n roll technique then stamped twice to get the different shades. Then added some twine and pearls for accent and i was perfect! Happy Stamping!
Here is my last card I made suing this set. It's a pretty simple one! And yes I did use some more of that paper on this card. Once again I used the Raining Flowers set to accent this card. I added some pearls to the centers and underneath the sentiment which really helped bling up the card. Happy Stamping!
Welcome to the Stampin' Addicts Holiday Mini Blog hop where we will be featuring new stamps and products in our new Holiday Mini Catalog. I love this mini and I just about want it all!
Cute huh!! I love it. For my stick I used a couple of #2 pencils, perfect for this time of year!

Let me know if you would like to join us! It's going to be a lot of fun! You can email or print of this form and send it back to me! Happy Stamping!
I would say this card is not my normal style and there is a little story about how I made this one all come together. First off I new I wanted to use some of the paisley petals paper well because I need to use this
This card is real simple. 
Part of that is because it's a sympathy card but it is also because lately I have been getting more involved with my cards and thought it would be good to get back to my basics a bit with a clean and simple card. Happy Stamping!
The other day someone asked me to describe my style and really I think it's kind of all over the place. This same person looked over a bit of my worked and mentioned I seemed to gravitate towards vintage and distressing. I never noticed that but this card fits into what she said. Isn't it funny how other people notice things about you but you don't notice them about yourself? This is another simple card that would be great to send to a friend to just say Hi or to say you are thinking about them. Happy Stamping!
Here is one of the cards I created using the Best Friends Forever 
stamp set. Like I said I struggle with this set and I think this was one of the last projects I made. Everything else I used more of a darker palette so I thought I needed something bright. It definitely is bright and bold! I embossed each heart with different colored embossing powders. Happy Stamping!
I wasn't all that fond of this set and really had to work out of my comfort zone to make projects using it. As I've told you all before I lived in a household full of males so of course that's who I scrap. I kept trying to figure out how I was going to make a masculine page using this set and boy was it a process! But I think I pulled it off. This page is 8 1/2 x 11 and I picked the color scheme from the colors of the pictures. I stamped the main flourish image using the rock and roll technique then added the friend saying. I decorated the "tag" with circles, twine and some sponging. For the mat of the photos I used my vintage wallpaper embossing folder. Yup that piece is bigger than what you can run through the big shot! It was still really easy to do though I just put one corner of my paper into the folder and used my small hammer to emboss it and moved to each corner to get the entire surface covered. Just be careful you don't want to break your folder if you hit to hard.
This is the last post from convention that I have to share and it’s of the display boards for raining flowers. At first this was a set that I thought was ok but not really my style but I have actually begun to really like it. It was the first set of projects I completed as this set was much easier to work with than I anticipated.
So any guesses here? How about a little blog candy the person who has the most correct guesses from the last 3 posts I will send a little gift. Just a little hint out of the 24 projects only 2 were not shown on these boards, they were shared only with the VIPs on a display board made just for them, but I did get to sneak a peak at that boards as well. Happy Stamping!
Here are the display boards from Easy Events. This was by far my favorite set to work with! It’s super cute and can be used for a variety of seasons or occasions.
I bet you can guess at least one of these that I made! Happy Stamping!
Last year Stampin’ Up! put out a call for display stampers, I applied and was selected. This year I waited and waited for the announcement and never saw one and i was a little bummed but then I received an email asking if I would like to do it again this year and of course I said yes!! It’s a lot of fun and a bit stressful.
So this is me with the display board listing all the names of the display stampers for Convention 2011.
I knew some of the gals too and this is a pic of Judi and Monica! Love both of these gals and their artwork is always wonderful and very creative! I wish I could meet some of the other ladies as I stalk many of their blogs! Anyway here are the display boards for Best Friends Forever.
This was the set I had the hardest time with partly because I didn't like it as it's not my style but also I live in a house full of men/boys including all the animals (cat, 3 dogs, turtles and guinea pigs)! I can't even tell you how hard it was trying to make a feminine set masculine ... yikes! Can you guess which ones are mine? I will be posting the individuals of the next few weeks all 24 of them. Happy Stamping!
I am doing a friend to friend swap with a yahoo group I am in and this was the card I sent for July. It didn't photograph as well as I would have liked, it's much nicer in person! I used an old set I have called Noteworthy, such a cute little set! I cut the flowers out with the Fun Flowers die. Happy Stamping!
