Expressoly for You




Becky @ inkingidaho.blogspot.com had this idea on her sight, so I had to give it a try. What a cute card! I made 2....they will be loved I am sure and such a unique way to open it...Maybe they will be able to figure it out without directions.

Twigs


Winter is not over yet, so I wanted to use this Whipper Snapper stamp before spring hits. This card is for a friend of mine how has snowman decorations in her house all year round. He is pretty cute! I used Prismacolors and mineral spirits to color it and the "hello" is a $1 stamp from Michaels.

I Count You Twice


This is an Easter/Thank you for my husband's secretary and my Stampin Up friend. She is always making me fun things. This time it was a black and white coffee mug and plate. I will photograph it and post it for all to see. Thanks again Dawn!!
And this box idea came from Becky. Thanks for an easy fun gift idea!

Tessa

Tessa was not happy I was using "her window" to photography my stamping project. So just like she doesn't like things on the ledge downstairs, she just knocked them off!!!

Easter Bunny Peek-a-Boo Treat Holder




This is an Easter treat idea I got from Beate at splitcoast. I had just gotten this Whipper Snapper bunny (for free) with my order, so I was anxious to try it on something fun. The little chocolate duck peeks out of the inside.

Thanks to Becky


Becky sent me a wonderful package in the mail of black and white. Imagine, how could I not love it!!! Anyway, this is her thank you!

Arizona Girls get Stamped Treats



Brit and I traveled to Arizona for Spring break for a little sun and shopping. I thought it would be fun to take little gifts for Heather, Linzi and Frances. I saw these little notebooks on Becky's site, so changed them up a bit and made matching nugget purses. I think they liked them. Thanks for the great time girls, lets do it again.

Something for Becky


I was so excited to get the rub on words from Stampin Up I couldn't wait to try them on something. So Becky became the one to reap the rewards! This is a jar of bath salts I made with items purchased from a recipe I found. I love the rub on's and think this turned out well. Thanks Becky for all you inspiration.

Palette of Color


How often are you out and you are picking up something on sale? "I wonder if this will go with....." I say this all the time, so I decided to fix the issue. I punched all the Stampin Up colors with the scallop punch and put them on a ring binder. I think it will come in handy when away from the Stamp Room.

Braydon and Britney



My kids! Boy I love these two, so why wouldn't I put them on my blog!!! Thanks for giving me all you do!!! I love you!!!

Whimsical Zebra


This is a stamp that just arrived in the mail from ebay!!! Gotta love it! It's not too cute and not your basic "animal" stamp. I love it and hope to use it often. This one I made into a clip to hold bills for my mom!
$1 spot at Target...what a deal! You gotta love it mom!

Gift Set


This is a gift set I made for a friend's birthday. The card was the same as the altoid tin. She loved it!
Stampin Up set: Tag Time
Real Red, Artichoke, and Ballet Blue with the black checked ribbon

Nugget Tins

These are from Papertrey!! They are so quick and easy to make up and take to a last minute birthday lunch. I made this one for my daughter to give to her teacher.

Mini Album


I made this for my neighbor to hold all the photos of her grandchildren. This is a mini album made with Name Badge tags and chipboard. I used binder rings to hold it together where the name badge holes already were punched.
