Enjoy Every Moment-6 x 6

This here is another one of my swaps for Convention 2008.  I was kind of unsure of the Pale Plum, Perfect, Plum and then Old Olive.  But all in all I likey how it turned out. 

I used 2 stamp sets...  Enjoy Every Moment & True Friend.  The ribbon is the Artichoke Grosgrain.

You can barely see it but I stamped an image from the True friend in Pale Plum on the Pale plum. 

What do you think of the color combo's? 

Life is Good 6 x 6

Right Now I am at Convention.  Today is the CHECK IN day.  We get our Bags, NEW CATALOGS, and 3 STAMP SETS!  yippie! 

This double 6 x 6 is my scrapbooking swap for convention.  I love the colors here.  The Elegant Eggplant stamped with White Ink is just so awesome.  I love how it pops.  I used the Boroque Motifs and Text & Texture Stamp sets.  Enjoy!

Always on my Mind.....

By the time this is posted I am on a Jet Plane to UTAH.  I am super excited to be attending Stampin' Up's 20th year anniversary Convention. 

This card here is using Stampin' Up's NEW In Colors ink and paper.  The stamp set used is Always.  This stamp set is a new one in my collection and can you believe it I have used it on 2 different cards.  :)

Have a wonderful day and be sure to check in tomorrow as I have pre-loaded up posts for every day that I am away.  All projects loaded are swaps I have done for convention. 

Enjoy!

Birthday Wishes

When I first made this card I had wanted it to go with the print at t he top and the solid at the bottom.  After putting everything together I stamped my sentiment....  and I stamped it upside down.  lol  FUNNY HOW THINGS WORK OUT.  I like this way much better.  :)

All items used are the NEW Stampin' Up In Colors.  :)

Happy Thursday.. 

(one more day till the week end..  yippie...  I can't wait)

You Mean Everything to Me

I just got this stamp set and LOVE IT.  I got the layout of this card from one of the cards from here.  EXCEPT I used Bashful Blue as my Base.  and I used Kiwi Kiss as my green.  I changed up the words and I Stamped on bashful Blue.  and I used more of the Pumpkin Pie and Kiwi Kiss.  But gotta give credit where credit is due.  :)

Enjoy!

BLOG CANDY WINNERS

Lets just pretend that it is Sunday 5Pm EST.  :) 

I have the 3 winners:  Please send me your mailing addresses.. 

**Barbara S.

**Kristi

**Tina

Woooo Hooo!  Congratulations. 

To the top you will see a distressed little tray that I altered and put some of my favorite garage sale finds in.  Isn't it Adorable.  I love the Blue Paisley Paper that is made by Molly & Mac.  It is just awesome!

This box here (above) was a great find that I got at K-Mart on sale for $6.  I have had it for a while with good intentions of altering in.  When I opened the Molly & Mac paper I thought how perfect is Post card paper for this box.  It just fit so well.  I should have taken a picture of the top.  I put a creme flower on top and distressed it with brown ink and added some of the prima collage flowers on top.  Inside the box is a bunch of cards and envelopes that is made with Molly & Mac Paper.

The last photo (below) is of a box made by Charlotte McNamara.  Baker is her other son's name.  Inside the box it is lined with photo's of Baker and has some of his favorite trinkets inside.

This is all of the photo's I have of the Molly & Mac Projects.  Hope you all have enjoyed them. 

I am still working on Convention Swaps.  So I will be posting just not everyday.  This is the last week before Convention and I have a lot of swaps to still make.  :)  Nothing like waiting to the last minute right?  lol

Enjoy your Monday!

Blog Candy-MOLLIE & MAC-BINDER CLIPS

**** Hey there all my dear little friends.  I am going to be extending the blog candy through Sunday at 5pm EST.  and I will be pulling 3 different winners.  YIPPIE!  As well as Pulling 3 different Winners you will each be getting MOLLIE & MAC paper packs, some coordinating ribbon, as well as some other fun goodies that I can throw into the box.  IF you haven't already done so, head on over to this post and leave a comment for this fun bundle of GOODIES....  ENTER BLOG CANDY HERE*******

Lookie Lookie at these cute binder clips.  They work great for photo holding or business card holding.  You could even use it to put a note on for a quick reminder.

The paper I used is the new BELLA ROSE DSP that will be in the New Catalog releasing Aug 11th. 

The For You sentiments came from Fresh Cuts.  I also used the small and large oval punch.  I love love the Riding hood Red ink.  (Wait till you see all the adorable new IN COLORS)  They are just fabulous.  The Taffeta Whisper White Ribbon just gives it a little more Dress-i-ness. 

Now it is time for a Mollie & Mac Project. 

Picture 1 is a bracelet that Charlotte (C0-Owner of Mollie & Mac and Mac's Mom) altered with the cute papers.  I know you are going to ask...  lol  but she used Mod-Podge to adhere the paper to the bracelet.  I think she said she got the bracelet at Target. 

Picture 2 is a note pad holder.  I used Coasters, binder clips, and post-it note.  :)  I like the stripped paper.  It looks sporty. 

Picture 3 is what they are giving away at CHA.  It is a cute paper sampler tied with white string.  I thought they looked so cute in the suit-case.  :)  **Stay tuned tomorrow for some other cute goodies to be revealed.

I am quite sure Darlene did some adorable projects, I just didn't get to take any pics of them yet.  Hopefully she will send me some when she gets back home so I can show you how great these papers are for scrapbooking. 

Until tomorrow.  HAPPY FRIDAY!

Mollie & Mac Blog Candy #1

Here is a Sneak Peek of what Mollie & Mac's  first two wonderful paper lines looks like.  Isn't is just adorable.  They used recycled paper for their product.  And their paper is card stock base so it has that sturdiness that I think is great for scrapbooking or even altered art.

Darlene Kearns & Charlotte McNamera, the lovely ladies who own Mollie & Mac, were kind enough to give me 3 packs of their paper to give away here.

Just to give you a little behind the scenes of Where does Mollie & Mac Name actually came from:  Mollie is Darlene's Daughters name and Mac is Charlotte's Sons name-how cute is that? 

To be eligible for today's blog candy please leave a comment of what you think of these paper designs. 

One post per person.  And today's blog candy ends Thursday Night at Midnight EST.

  This is to give you a Little taste of some of the artwork that is going to be displayed at CHA.  This beauty was made my Charlotte.McNamara.  Isn't it just gorgeous. 

This one is one of the projects I made.  I used one of the striped papers to use as the band and I used one of the Burgundy papers as the mat for the "treat".   Adora was supervising me as I was putting her treats in the jar.  :)

True Friend Paper Clip

I know this picture stinks.  I keep moving my hands.  :)  It will be ok.  you guys get the idea any way, I am sure. 

All items used are stampin' up except the jumbo paper clip. 

This is one of my convention swaps.  I used the new Stampin' Up colors (riding hood red & Baja Breeze) in both inks and card stock. 

I didn't get much done this week end.  I was hoping to get majority of my convention swaps completed.  That didn't happen.  We watched friends kids Saturday.  Went to the park and watched movies. 

I will finish these clips tomorrow (I have 3 more designs) 

Gotta go get ready for work tomorrow.

Good Night All!

P.S.  I have 3 packs of the NOT YET RELEASED Mollie & Mac paper to give away this week as blog candy.  Keep checking back!  I am going to have blog candy for 3 days in a row.  :)  I also took pictures of some of the displays that is going to be on show at CHA.  :)
