Rosettes display

I just finished making one of my displays, using the Rosette die. The largest rosette uses 3 pieces of  6"x12" paper, the medium rosette uses 2 pieces of 3"x12" paper and the small rosette uses 2 pieces of 2.5"x12" paper. I used the brand new Floral District DSP from the new catalogue and is available June 1st!
One of the cool features with this rosette die is the 2 different edges...one is pointy and one is scallopped, so you get two looks in one!
I added a few butterflies to decorate them, and voila! I love it!
So, I will be at the Crop For Autism in Winchester on Saturday May 19...come check us out!

Away for the weekend!

I am so excited to be able to share national Scrapbook Day with my friend and upline Jen and some friends of ours! I will creating all weekend, but i have not planned a thing! I am hoping the pre-order that i had expedited will be here today so I can play with my new goodies, but if not, I'll keep playing with my retiring products. I will post hopefully when i get back on Sunday!
Have a good weekend everybody!

It's a beautiful Mocha Morning...

I was at a crop on the weekend and my friend sam had her idea books out and we came upon this sketch that we both loved. I decided to open up my Mocha Morning DSP (p.183 of the Stampin'Up! idea book and catalogue) and made these cards following the sketch.
I just LOVE them...in fact I made several to have on hand. They are so elegant and rich, and remind me of expensive chocolate! i made the butterflies using the Sizzix big Shot die beautiful Butterflies (p.222).

Thanks for stopping by!

Are you REALLY going to blog?

Yes.
I mean it this time.
No, really!
It has been a few months, and things are settling down. We lost our beautiful cat Shawn last month, and I'm still very sad about that. Someday I will do a scrapbook page about him. this is him. He was only 2 years old.


I am still stamping and creating and selling my creations. I am still doing my monthly classes. I am still teaching at day care. And as of today, I am blogging again.
No, really.

My latest Christmas card

I made this using the beautiful Pines and Poinsettias stamp set from the mini catalogue. I used these markers to colour directly on the stamp: Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler and Garden Green. I added a bit of glitter to the pine cones.


Now, here are some Christmas cards I made using my Copic markers to colour. I just love the blue-green tones.

Gently Falling

Another sneak peek of the upcoming Holiday mini catalogue. This card uses the stamp set Gently Falling (for the leaves) and the sentiment from the set Hand Penned Holidays. This is one of the make and takes we are doing at tonight's Holiday Mini Sneak peek event.

Stocking card

I am loving the new stocking die for the Big Shot! I used it make this card, which opens from the top. I also used the Holly Berry DSP as the accents on the stocking. The Holly Berry buttons are a perfect match and the Early Espresso quilted ribbon finishes it off! I am loving this Holiday mini catalogue!
