Cupcake???


Okay this is not stamped, nor has paper or ink but just as lovable! You now know that I love birds but another thing that I love is CUPCAKES! I am having the ladies from our church over for a spa day. So I came up with these party favors. Washcloths rolled into this cupcake holder with a flower bath soap. Isn't it too cute?! (And very affordable!) I wish I could eat it!

MOJO Monday Week 76


Sorry so late! But better late than never right? Well, this week the ladies of MOJO Monday are hosting a contest. So why not try to enter your own creation this week. Your entry must be in before Sunday evening. All the details can be found on MOJO Monday Blog. Good luck! 


Here's what I made. It's a little different style from what I usually do, and I was trying to use this Eggplant Cardstock that I had. Tell me what you think!

MOJO Monday Week 75


I saw this water bottle at Borders and just fell in love with the design at first sight! I wouldn't let my husband leave without letting me get it. I felt like my children when they see something at the store and won't accept no for an answer! Well, as you can see, I left the store with it! And I was inspired to make the owl out of punches. Here's what I came up with. What's the saying, hit two birds with one stone? Sample for MOJO Monday 75 and my sample for the owl. And I also must apologize because I've been busy entertaining guests and getting ready for my workshops this month so I've been a little behind. But what do you think?   Here's some samples from the creators of Mojo Monday MOJO 75.


Matching Envelope


I ran out of envelopes to distribute to my guests when they were making their cards at today's workshop. So I came across this tutorial from Scor-Pal. Look at this tutorial by Lauren Meader. It shows you how to make your own envelope to match your handmade card. I think it came out better than what I had planned! (Thank Goodness!)

MOJO Monday Week 74

Can't believe how quickly time has gone by. Its Monday again and the new sketch challenge is this! 


I've been traveling so I wasn't able to post this, but here is what I made. 


I think this card could use something else on it. Could it use maybe a textured background, some "bling", or ??? I don't know. However, I think it still works with the simplicity of it, and I am pleased with this new technique I learned: bleaching. I stamped the image with a dark ink and then "inked" the same image in bleach and stamped right on top of the dark image. Thus, giving my card a shadow look. I love all the endless possibilities of what you can find and use with stamping. Hope you enjoy!

Post It Note Holder



I have seen these around but never got around to making one for myself.  I wanted to make this as a thank you gift to all my customers and as gifts for those who choose to book a workshop with me. Adorable isn't it? You can get the mini pens at Target (dollar section). You gotta love Target. 


Valentine's Day Workshop

I have been having so much fun playing with all my new goodies!! Did I mention that Stampin' Up! has come out with its Spring/Summer Catalog?!!!! I LOVE IT! Some of the things I've been doing is making Hostess gifts. Since Valentine's Day is coming up and I have a workshop based around this theme, I made my hostess a Valentine's Day box filled with large tags and chocolate. Yummy to look at and eat, right?! Thanks to Becky Roberts for her tutorials. 






The next project is a mini magazine holder for storing 3x3 birthday notes. This project was quick and easy to do. You always need a good stash of  birthday cards, you can never have enough.
