July's retreat was AMAZING we had 3 wonderful days of crafting, eating and lots of me spoiling you!  As you can see from the picture on the left I concentrated on one specific bundle for the retreat "pillow" gifts, the Daisy Delight bundle.  This set not only makes the most amazing cards & home décor items, but it makes super cute "pillow" gifts too.

What is a pillow gift you ask?
                 - When you come to any retreat I have I spoil you with treats, this is called a pillow gift.  Sometimes it's food or other items that you can use in your home of office.  Want to get in on the action? Make sure to look to the right for the next retreat dates!!!

The picture to the right  are the pillow gifts from the Pajama Bingo night we had. We also indulged in some yummy cake pop ice-cream cones.

OK!!! I'm not even sure how you can't fall head over heels  in love with this set
"This Little Piggy"?
I stamped the pig in Rich Razzleberry and then used the Wink of Stella to color him in so he would have a pink tint to him.

I also cut the sentiments out of the "original" image so I could pair them with which ever pig I wanted to use.

The possibilities are endless with this set. 

No Bones About It - I just love playing with Dinosaurs, pairing it with the new "Fresh Fig" card stock & ink with a hint of "Tranquil Tide" ink makes for a perfect combination. 



NO BONES ABOUT IT YOU'RE GRRRRREAT  !!

This is something WE all need right about now, with summer here and rearing its ugly head - nothing sounds better then wearing some flip flops :-)
Hope you enjoy this card using the "NEW" Lemon Lime Twist paper & matching bows :-)

Let's get together and have some
good ol' fashioned Bingo fun,
March 18th @ 6pm. 
Make sure you invite all your friends, the more we have the more fun it will be. 
We will have Make-N-Takes, hundreds of prizes and maybe a little somethin' somethin' for us to sip on :-)

Make sure you RSVP for you and your friends, don't want to miss this event.

Well the last few days in the valley of the sun you could really feel that spring was arriving, waking up today is a completely different story.  It's cloudy cool and it looks like rain is in the forecast, I figured I would still post this Strawberry card because this weather is short lived here :-)
Using the 141660 Fruit Stand Designer Series Paper along with the 141770 Fresh Fruit stamp set I think the overall design couldn't have turned out any better.

OK, lets get real for a second.

What "man" wouldn't just love getting this card for their Birthday?  OK, maybe one that doesn't use tools like my soon to be "son-in-law," haha!

All joking aside I know my husband will love that I took the time to make him something special. His birthday was yesterday (yes, a Valentine baby!) so he gets two cards in one day!  Not sure about other husbands, but mine has saved every card and note I have ever written him, it makes me feel good that he loves what I do and is always excited when I create something new. 

This card is using the new "Nailed it" stamp set and the FREE "Any Occasion" stamp set from the Sale-A-Bration catalog.  The black circles off to the corners of this card are actually the "White Perfect Accents" from the big catalog - I just colored them with a black sharpie.... Worked perfectly.

Please make sure to e-mail or call me if you have any question on classes or orders:-)

Who would have thought that this beautiful lace FREE stamp set could be so elegant! The Delicate Details Sale-A-Bration stamp set is FREE - yes, I said FREE!  Who doesn't love FREE stuff?!

 I participate in a Stampin' Up! Facebook group where I spotted this design.  The original design created it as a happy birthday card, but I didn't want to case it exactly so I made it into a "you're the best." I wish I had written her name down so I could give credit where credit is due, if this is your design please leave a comment so I can thank you for such a beautiful card :-)   

This Sale-A-Bration set called "Tasty Trucks" reminds me of going to home depot to get a hot dog off the little cart that sits outside.  Nothing like getting a hot dog and a cold root-beer - haha!!  Brings back great childhood memories and adult memories going with the husband :-)
If you don't already own the new Watercolor Pencils yet, trust me when I say they are a MUST have, I been using them so much this week and I'm loving each card I've made with them.  Loved them so much I don't want to part with the cards :-)

Hey Chic-
If this card doesn't put a smile on your face I'm not quite sure what will!!!
I'm using one of the Sale-A-Bration sets called
"Hey Chick" and pairing it with Melon Mambo card stock.  Coloring the chick in with our new Watercolor Pencils just sets the tone for this card.  Not only can it be used for a special kid in your life, but I would even send this to a girl-friend it's that cute.
