Snowflake

Saturday is my Christmas Card Stamp-A-Stack so I've been busy working on card ideas. I just got this snowflake die and really wanted to use it, so here's the card I came up with. We'll be making 12 cards so I'm trying to keep them pretty simple.

Christmas Deer

I'm working on cards for the Christmas Stamp-a-Stack I'm having in a couple weeks. I came up with this design, but not too sure if I'm liking it. I'll have to think about this one more and see if it grows on me :o).

Celine

Wow!! My sister and I went to see Celine Dion in concert last night and it was truely amazing! I saw her a few years ago in Vegas and that show was fabulous, so it was nice to see her again in a different setting. She really knows how to put a show on. I had chills running down my back the whole night. Most of my friends make fun of me for liking her so much, but she is a fabulous singer and entertainer. She's so passionate about what she does. I tried taking pictures with my phone and of course they didn't turn out, and had I known we could bring cameras I would have. So I pulled these pics off her website, exactly what we saw last night. She had 7 outfit changes, whew! Those who are familiar with her know she loves clothes and especially shoes!

Kristina's Color Challenge #25

Here's my card for Kristina's challenge. It's pretty much made using the Big Shot with very little stamping. I just got the Build a Flower die and had to try it out, so this is what I created :o). I stamped the background with the grassy stamp from Inspired by Nature. The vase or box for the flowers was made from the Pillow Box die, I just cut the ends off and cut the box in half. I had to swap the Ruby Red with Rose Red, guess it's time for me to re-stock my Ruby Red. Thanks for looking.

Just love Halloween! Here's one I just whipped up using Stampin' UP! Ghostly Greetings DS paper and the Batty for You stamp set. There's so many creations you can come up with using both of these products. I just received the new SU! Eat, Drink & Be Scary set from the Holiday Mini Catalog. So stay tuned for my next Halloween card from this set. :o)

Projects on the Cruise

Hi, here are the projects we did on the cruise:These cards were done on Saturday for World Card Making Day. There were four, but for some reason I can't find one...sorry Jackie!
Cute lunch box. Most all projects were made with SU! Urban Gardens DS paper and SU! Pocket Silhouettes stamp set.
Here's a journal and accordian book we put together. Too cute!

Here we decorated a glass votive by rolling up pieces of SU! Holiday Treasures DS paper. Then used the Big Shot and Basket & Blossoms die to make the Halloween treat baskets out of the SU! Ghostly Greetings DS paper.

If anyone would like the instructions for any of these projects, feel free to email me or leave a comment. Thanks and hope you enjoy looking!

Stamping & Cruising

Well, I just returned from our first stamping & cruising weekend. What a blast!!! There were 4 of us SU! demonstrators and 20 of our customers that joined us on this 3 night cruise from Seattle to Victoria (Canada) to Nanaimo (Canada) then back to Seattle. Each of us 4 demonstrated a card for World Card Making Day, then demonstrated several projects... decorating lunch boxes, journals, glass votives and more which I'll post pictures of later. We definately kept them busy and still had time to enjoy the other activties on and off the ship. We are definately planning to do this again next year. I'm pooped out and will post more tomorrow! But here's a picture of the ship we were on.Sorry the picture is a little small. Would you believe I forgot my camera? Oh well, I have lots of folks emailing me pictures :o)
