Celebrate YOU!

Happy September!  This is always a fun month!  My Grandma and I celebrate our birthdays (I was born on her 50th birthday) and my hubby and I will celebrate our 18th Anniversary!  (How is that possible?!)  PLUS, we're celebrating a NEW challenge over at Stampin' Celebration with our NEW Design Team members!! I enjoyed playing along with this month's Inspiration Challenge and came up with this card:


I had fun with all of the circles, layers and little flags:


And here is the new Inspiration Challenge over at Stampin' Celebration:


As you can see, I used the colors and the circles on the cake for my inspiration!  I really love how these colors look together - I used Calypso Coral and Coastal Cabana. :)

I'm also linking up with the challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches.  Here's their sketch:


Products Used:
Stamps:  Best of Greetings (#133485) & Seasonal Sayings (#128009) - soooo happy this stamp set came back in the big catalog!  
Ink:  Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana
Paper:  Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana, Whisper White
Other:  Circle Punches (3/4", 1", 1 1/4"), 1" Square Punch (to make the little flag cut), Big Shot, Tasteful Trim Bigz XL Die, Perfect Polka Dot Embossing Folder, 2-Way Glue Pen

I think the hardest part of this card was gluing down those little circles! Thank goodness for my 2-Way Glue Pen!

I'm Part of the Creative Crew!!


EEK!  I was so excited last month when I was asked to join the Creative Crew over at Splitcoast Stampers for their next term!  Over the next four months, we'll be sharing our projects for the monthly challenges.  At the beginning of each month, we'll post them over on the SCS gallery and I'll post mine here on my blog.  We have four challenges each month that focus on different things - so fun!!

Here is the "theme" for our challenges this month:

Flowers are blooming, birds are chirping, tired bears are coming out of hibernation it’s time to party!!! Errrrr, I mean…time for spring!


So much begins to happen right now graduations, showers, weddings, birthdays, reunions, and probably a lot more than I've mentioned! With that in mind I'd like you to check out this site: 
25 Parties to Ring in Spring | The New Home Ec 


Pick a party, any party, be inspired by the colors, the decorations, the foodie stuff, the patterns, the prints, oh my there is so many ideas here!

And we have four different challenges to play along with all month long.  Here is the first one:

CCREW0513DF, CreativeCrew, SUO or SUM -- DSP/Color Focus: All of our DSP is likely to be leaving us after this month, so use whatever DSP or color combo that includes brights & pastels to go with the party you've picked.


And here is the card I created for this challenge:


I chose the Spring Butterfly Party as my inspiration.  The soft colors reminded me of the Tea for Two DSP.  And of course I had to add the doilies and butterfly.  :)

Products Used:
Stamps:  Curly Cute
Ink:  Soft Suede, Pink Pirouette
Paper:  Tea For Two, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla
Other:  Vintage Faceted Buttons, Lucky Limeade Twine (retiring... sniff, sniff), Paper Doilies, Basic Pearl Jewels, Beautiful Wings Embosslits, Tasteful Trim Bigz Die, Big Shot, Sponge Dauber

I had fun creating this card.  Pastels aren't usually my fave... so it's fun to challenge myself!  :)

Don't forget to check out the rest of the Creative Crew's projects over at Splitcoast Stampers!  There are some super talented ladies!

Happy Birthday Mom!

Hi there!  Today I'm wishing my mom, my friend and my biggest supporter in EVERYTHING that I do, a very Happy Birthday!!

Here's the card I made for her:


Products Used:
Stamps:  Easy Events
Ink:  Bashful Blue, Early Espresso, Soft Suede (for sponging)
Paper:  Very Vanilla, Bashful Blue, Early Espresso, Tea for Two
Other:  Paper Doilies, Stampin' Sponge, Very Vanilla Seam Binding, Crochet Trim
Big Shot:  Labels Collection Framelits, Adorning Accents Edgelits, Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder

The inspiration for this card came from a sketch over at the Paper Players Challenge. Here's the sketch:


I just love sketches as a starting point for cards and scrapbook pages!  As you can see, I flipped the direction of my card and used the Labels Framelits in place of the circle.  :)

And here's a recent picture of me and my mom:


I bet she's cringing right now that I put this on here...  hee hee.  But she's such an important part of my life that I just had to share!  She's always been there for me - through boo boo's, heartbreak, cooking tips, parenting mishaps, cheering on my successes and catching me when I fall.  She's my sounding board and my supporter in every endeavor I take.  She encourages me in all that I do and loves my boys and hubby like they're her own.  So thank you mom - I love you!!  And happy birthday!  :)


*My Digital Studio fans - Stampin' Up! just added 7 Digital Content Discs to the Clearance Rack for - are you ready? - $1.00!!!  Hurry and get yours here while supplies last!!

Thanks for visiting!!  Have a wonderfully creative day!

Blue Ribbon Birthday

Happy Birthday to my Dad!!  This occasion calls for a birthday card!  ;)



I love the Orchard Harvest DSP (#126895) in the Holiday Catalog.  And I thought this particular pattern would make a good masculine card.  I also used the Blue Ribbon Stamp Set (#125981) and coordinating Bitty Banners Framelits (#129267) and Punches. Too fun!  I embossed the Early Espresso cardstock with the Houndstooth Embossing Folder (#123134).  And stamped on the Cotton Ribbon (#127844) with the Family Reunion Stamp Set (#122712).  I hope he likes it!  ;)
