Botanical Blooms

Good Morning Stampers!

When I first saw this stamp set in the Sale-A-Bration mini Catalog, I just wasn't sure about it.  I just new it wasn't on my top favorites to pick first.  It was actually last of all 6 of the items. 

I then realized I needed a few samples for my display board to show at my classes.  I went over to my uplines house one Monday and worked on a few "sale-a-bration" samples. 

I really like the Basic Black with the Riding Hood Red & Tangerine Tango.  The Gingham Ribbon just makes it pop even more.

With a Cherry on Top

This card here was a project we did at my Stampin' Up Open House last week.  This was the Hit of the class.  Even a few demonstrators loved this card when I showed it to them. 

The stamp set feautred in this card is called:  Goody Goody Gum Drop - It is a level 3 Hostess set. 

The Designer Series Paper is from the pack of Sweet Always. 

To top it off The cherry was stamped and cut out to layer on top of the Sunday and used Crystal Effects to add a little gloss to, it to make it shine!

Hope you enjoy this card and I have a few more to show you in the next few days. 

Happy Stamping!

Quote 6 x 6 Challenge

 

I know...  It is amazing that I am posting.  I actually stamped yesterday.  I kinda-sort-of cased this idea from TAYLORED EXPRESSIONS.  I used her layout and colors I just changed the quote and the size.

Yesterday I had a friend come over and we have had this idea for a while to do a 6 x 6 page for each other of our favorite quotes.  This is the one I did. 

I will have more class samples to post this week.  so please don't give up on me yet.  :)

Winter Play: A verry Merry Christmas to you

It is hard to believe that it is December already?  I seems as though we skipped right over November.  This past week end was a 4 day week-end for us in the house hold.  We spent Thanksgiving in New York at my brother-in-laws house and my husbands family.  It was nice to be with everyone again.  But you know the feeling...  It's always nice to show up... but even better to go home to peace and quiet.  lol

Here in a few weeks my husband and I will me making a trip down south for Christmas.  We are going to Tennessee to spend it with my Family.  As we are preparing for that trip I'll let in on a few things that we are going to fit in during our week there as the time comes closer.

I made this card above for my 1st day of my 12 Days of Christmas.  I really like how the ribbon is tied.  It sort-of looks like a Christmas ornament hanging down.  On my first day of my 12 Days of Christmas I Challenged my customers and friends to make a card using only one color ink pad.  In this card, I chose Chocolate Chip and only used that color ink on this card.  I can't wait to see what they come up with.

Supplies:    Stamp Set:  Winter Post & Best Yet  Paper:  Real Red, Chocolate Chip, Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss, Natural Ivory, Ski Slope Designer Series Paper  Ink:  Chocolate Chip  accessories:  Red Gingham Ribbon, Silver Brads, Wide Oval Punch, Large Oval Punch, 1/16 hand-held punch, scallop edge punch, stampin' Dimensionals

edited:  I am not sure I like how the picture looks.  It looks weird.  I'll have to figure out this new typepad display thingy.  hmmm..
