Hodgepodge Bavarian Birthday

I was playing around with some red embossing powder I found in my closet and created this hodgepodgey card. I so love this Alpine Ribbon from last year's mini and am getting around to using it. I always feel like I don't use my materials enough. The problem is there is so much CUUUTE stuff out there that I have to have. There's just not enough time in my day. I believe that if I had a dedicated stamping space, that would change. What's your experience with that? Anyway, hope you like the card.

Anniversary Challenge Card

It's my brother and sis-in-law's anniversary. Stamping 411 gave me just the inspiration I needed to design a card. Hope you like! All products are SU except the border punch. Check out the beautiful cards submitted for this sketch at Stamping 411. Play along. I love to see what everyone creates. There are always things I wish I'd thought of. Love these challenges!

HalloCute!! Love this SU image!!

I have had real issues saying no to any of the items in the SU mini-catty. I just love this set and REALLY didn't need a Halloween set. Oh well... It makes me happy :) . HOpe you enjoy.

respectively. I've had this stamp set for a while and just inked it today because of the beautiful samples at these sites. My girls have the flu, so I took some time to create. I hope you like the card. The Stampin' Up images are so gorgeous, don't you think? Thanks for visiting. Let me know what you think!

White Elephant Meets Brown Reindeer?

We are having a white elephant silent auction at school to support our hospitality committee. Yup! That's what it's come to.... :) HEre's my contribution. I'll contribute these cards and envies and try to bundle them cutely (pretty sure THAT'S not a word.) Maybe I'll even drum up some SU business! I would love to find the hidden stampers in my building. What do you think? I would really appreciate any feedback. My fear is that no one will bid on them. They took about 15 minutes to make. Thanks for stopping by!!

Stair Step Beach Card

I did this one from the tutorial that Beate did at Splitcoaststampers. I used the set Life's a Breeze that I had forever and finally cut and inked. I may do some version of this for my September swap with the girls. Hope you enjoy!

Stampin 411 Sketch and Great News (for me!)

Here's my card for the latest Stamping 411 challenge. For the last challenge, they did a surprise prize and they drew my name!!!! I'm so excited! I won an SU stamp set Beautiful Blooms that I've been wanting!!! Yay Stamping 411!!

I was happy with the way this card turned out! I think it's because I love this set so much. All products are SU except the rhinestones.

The DSP is Bella Blooms.

I made the background paper with the focal image stamp.

I hope you like this one! Let me know what you think.
