Lovely As A Tree Autumn Card

I had a lot of fun making this card with the latest In Color colors.  Lovely as a Tree is a fun stamp set to use and one of my "go to" stamp sets.  I love adding pops of color!  The embossing folder is one of my favorites too.  For club I will have to select a different folder though because this one is retired.  Grrr...

Happy stamping!

Truly Grateful Card

I found some inspiration for this card on Pinterest so feel free to check out my Truly Grateful board to see what fun cards I found over there.

It was a long day of school but I finally got the kiddos finished so that I can have fun!  We are in the middle of Nine Week Exams so there is much weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth in our household.  LOL!

Hope that you enjoy!  I will work on a second project tonight after dinner so that I can post it earlier in the day on Wednesday.

Happy stamping!

Thank you envelope pouch


I thought that these pouches were super cute and super easy.  It is fun to give a personalized touch to little gifts...and it makes our friends feel special as well.  These fun pouches take just a few minutes to personalize.

Package from my Heart Pal

I was so tickled to find a package in the mail box with more goodies from my Heart Pal the other day.  She sent some great military stickers (my son is a military enthusiast and my cousin is an officer in the navy...so proud, I could bust) and some fun embossed cardstock.  I love the Christmas card too!

Happy stamping!

Project Life

This is one of the super cute Project Life sets (offered now with Stampin'Up!).  They work well with the scrapbook pages because there are pockets in which to slide the pictures or these pre-cut goodies.  Card makers are enjoying the sets also because they work great to layer on top of card fronts!  You might want to check these out.

Shop here and be sure to indicate that I am your demonstrator so that you get a better deal!

Die Cut Flower Arrangement

Julie has been busy lately.  She and a friend made these super cute arrangements from one of SU's flower dies!  I believe that she told me it was a rolled rose die.  There are 384 individual flowers!!!  Yikes!  Thankfully her hubby painted the jars for them but I know that she pulled more than one late night working on these beauties!  You can catch a wee glimpse of her craft room behind the table too.  She has a lovely room for stamping!

I try not to post often on Sunday but I totally spaced yesterday and forgot to post this one.  Sorry!  I do have posts for many days yet to come so keep checking back!

Happy stamping!
