Anne's card

So this is one of those ideas that has been floating around in my head for quite a while. I, like lots of you, gather inspiration from lots of different places, but this was an easy one. As labor and delivery nurses we get lots of thank you cards sent to us, and one came to my good friend Anne (whom I've addicted to Stampin' Up) and we both agreed it had great potential to become a stamped card. It had all this fun little patchwork on it and I've created it in my head with about 8 different sets and this was just the first one I pumped out today. I think you will be seeing more of this layout from me in coming days. It's white card stock with 9 pieces of 1 1/4" decorative and regular pieces of paper and then the stamped images are on the white cardstock. I cut out some of the images from the designer series paper to put on the plain cardstock. So Anne-this one's for you!!!!!!!

We came back for this?????

Hey everybody, we made it back! It is awful here!!!!!!!!!! 6 inches of snow to come???? I think we made it back at the perfect time though, our drive from the Twin Cities wasn't too bad. I can hardly wait to stamp again. I'll get a post up tomorrow with a few Florida pictures. I just quick pulled up a card from my last class. Hope you all are well, thanks for visiting, I had over a 100 hits while I was gone, that's great for my new little blog!!!!!!!!

My Journal

Well, one last post before we head to sunnier skies. I won't be posting anything new until next Tuesday when we return, so don't forget about me while I'm gone. Today I'm sharing my journal with you. It's made out of the Stampin' Up chipboard journal, with Recollections paper, the flower from Bodacious Bouquet, and some micc. accessories. I love the Cranberry color, boy am I going to miss it when it goes away in a few months!!!! Have a great week!!!!!!!!!!!!! Florida or bust!!!

A HAPPY TRIO

Can you say "Happy to be leaving for Florida"! I CAN! It is miserable here today. Upper 20's, WINDY, and there was snow on the ground this morning. Minnesota is so crazy this time of year!!!!
Well as far as the post goes, we made this at my last class. The picture loses some of the cuteness of the texture of the flower from the YOU MAKE ME HAPPY set, but it still is a pretty card. I'll have one more post tomorrow morning before we go!!!

Happier Because of you

Hi there. I'm a little late with my post today, I'm busy getting everything ready to head to Florida. I just recently got the "Because of You" set. It's been on my wish list since the catalog came out last year, and I finally made myself get it. It is so cute!!!!! The card is made using colors from the color wheel. Trust me, I would never put Cameo Coral with Rose Red, but it does work. I guess the Stampin' Up people do know what they are talking about!!!!

When Kindness Touches

Good Monday morning all. It's a busy week here for us, we leave for Florida on Thursday!!! Today's card is a pretty easy one. Just uses the gorgeous designer papers out of the spring mini catalog and the word set "Friend to Friend". It's always hard to spend money on word sets, but Friend to Friend is one I use a LOT! Papers are Regal Rose and Cool Caribbean. Have a great day, thanks to all of you who are visiting!

So, I have a REALLY great Stampin' Up upline. She's become one of my really good friends. She is so great about letting me borrow stuff when I am in need. I in return give her any fun things that I make that I think she should have. So after seeing my posts on here about the shadow box cards, she coyly asked "Am I getting one of those?" Of course she was going to get one, but I decided to make one just for her, so here is Kristin's card. It uses the new "You Make Me Happy" set (because she does make me happy). I think it turned out pretty cute!
Check out as well, my new photo watermark. I found this GREAT gal on the web that will design watermarks to be put on your photos to protect them on the web. Her name is Cindy Keery, and you can check her website out her at:
