Last week just seemed to drag on forever and I didn’t get anything accomplished. So I decided I needed to do something fun, bright and cheery to get myself back on track. So what better way than to make some fun birthday treat bags or maybe it’s more like a box that looks like a… Continue reading Birthday Treat Bags
This post is for those of you who thought that all you could do with stamps, paper and inks was make cards....so not true! There are so many different things that you can do and this week I’m going to share with you just a few fun creative projects. Although I call my Stampin’ Up!… Continue reading More than Cards! – It’s time to Pop!
Giraffes are the tallest mammals in the world...anywhere from 15-20 feet tall. So of course if you were taking a close up pictures of their heads, you would’nt see any of their bodies....just like my card! And don’t those cute little giraffes look like they are in a photo? That would be creative use of… Continue reading A Giraffe Parade
It’s been a long week and for some reason I’ve had trouble getting back into a schedule after my vacation last week...which is why you are reading this on a Saturday. Finally got my act together and got my mind out of vacation mode. But I did have fun earlier this week with a few… Continue reading Animal Outing Thank You
My title is a really bad play on words....Gorillas in the Mist.....Giraffes in the Midst (of Leaves). I’m going to blame it on the fact that I was on vacation last week and was out in the sun a lot, might have baked my brains. But it’s back to reality....no more 80 degree sunshiny days....back… Continue reading Giraffes in the Midst (of Leaves)
Today I am sharing a Thank You card that I made for my daughter several months ago when she and her fiancé held an engagement party and house warming.....actually 40 Thank You cards! I’m super proud of how they turned out. They were married earlier this week on the beach in Key West, Florida. So… Continue reading A Beachy Thank You
Palm trees come in all sizes and shapes....but I’m not sure that they come in rainbow colors like Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana and Grapefruit Grove....unless you are stamping them on a card that is. I think they look good! What do you think? The palm tree is actually part of the stamp… Continue reading A Beach Rainbow
The beach is my happy place. I can sit on the beach for hours just doing nothing but watching the waves, the people....the little sand crabs digging fast and furious. And this week I am in my happy place....enjoying a little sun and rest and relaxation in Key West, Florida. But not until after… Continue reading Beach Happy-ness
Stampin’ Up has been encouraging the concept of “simple stamping”....just using paper and ink to make a card. No fancy cut outs, not along of layering, skip the bows, the fancy embellishments, etc. That is kind of hard for me....because I really like adding all the extra’s. But for first time stampers and for those… Continue reading Simple Stamping
When life gets busy and you feel like your caught in a whirlwind....it’s time to just take a deep breath and sit back and relax and enjoy the simple moments. For me that’s lunch with a friend or some quiet time stamping, a movie date with my husband,....just not planning and filling every waking moment.… Continue reading Enjoy the Simple Moments
