Party Hearty

Well, stamp a stack yesterday was a great success! We made birthday cards and had birthday cake. All in honor of Stampin' Up!'s 20th birthday! We definitely "partied hearty"!

Ah-h-h-h to be 20 again!

Yummy Cupcake!

Here is a male version of the cupcake card that I posted yesterday...
At least it has a cupcake too! You could even use this one for 4th of July!

Happy Birthday Stampin' Up!

I made this card to use for my stamp a stack tomorrow... I thought it turned out SO-O-O cute that I had to post it!

I can just see giving this to a little "girlie" girl for her birthday!

Happy Halloween

It finally dawned on me yesterday that Halloween is less than a week away... And I still haven't designed and completed my Halloween cards to send out to friends and family! So, I sat down for a minute yesterday and came up with this quick little card. I have cranked out 100 of these guys since yesterday afternoon. There are three different cards. All three use the same color scheme, stamp pad, stamp set, designer series paper and layout. I just made do with what I had. I thought they turned out too cute!

Pennant Banners

I am having so much fun with my Big Shot Die Cut Machine! I have been creating some pennant banners for the holidays. Below are pictures of the ones that haven't already been claimed by my family! It's amazing how easy it is to make cute decor items when you have the right tools!

This is a more fun Christmas one!

This is a more traditional themed Christmas one!

And you can't forget Thanksgiving! Really it is more of a fall one!

I can't wait to make more!

Felt Flower Scrapbook Page

The last project we did for the accessory club is this scrapbook page.

It not only incoporates felt flowers, but also a hat pin and half pearls from the Pretties Kit.

More Flurries

Here is the gift bag that I designed for October accessory club. These bags like this are so simple, yet so cute. It is easy to move from Christmas to birthday to just because...

Monkeying Around

My niece, Kaytee, needed a monkey shirt for school tomorrow... Something to do with red ribbon week. I think the theme is get the monkey off my back... Anyway, Kayla appealed to me to stamp a sock monkey on the front of a white t-shirt for her. I tossed and turned all night last night worrying that my stamping technique on fabric wouldn't be good enough. So, I found this adorable monkey on a piece of fabric. I cut it out and adhered it to the shirt... I thought it came out so good that I had to post it!

Felt Flowers & Flurries

Hey gang! Stampin' Up! has some wonderful new felt snowflakes in the mini catalog. I am featuring them and the felt flowers in the accessory club for October. Here is a picture of the card that I designed using the snowflakes. I especially like the color combination. So unusual for Christmas!

Hurricane Ike

Well, life is now back to normal. We finally got internet and cable back yesterday. It has been almost a month... So, this is the reason for absolutely no posts for some time!

We were so much luckier than others in our area. We had some minor damages... But we are safe and still have our home! I hope that anyone reading this that was within the reaches of Ike faired as well as we did.

We did not evacuate until Saturday afternoon after the storm. The only reason we evacuated was Eric was recovering from bronchitis and was really having a tough time in the heat.

The storm was an awesome sight. It was scary... But the sheer power of what was happening was awe inspiring. Don't let the news reports of what a hurricane looks like fool you. They all show the wind blowing extremely hard, but straight... All in one direction. We stood on the porch at our house during the wee hours of the morning while the storm was at its worst. I felt like I was in a washing machine! The wind was churning like the water in my washing machine!

We did get some damage to some of our electronic equipment due to power surges. My scanner/printer was one of the things that suffered! So, I will start getting some pictures taken of projects I have done since the storm to post!

Happy Stampin'!
