Being Creative!

Who doesn't enjoy being creative!! I love to see a great card, scrap book page or even a cake turn out great... gives you a proud feeling of accomplishment-I made that, isn't it just beautiful!!! Then you show it to your friends and family. Then they feel good you gave or made them something from the heart!! So I encourage you all to make something special for someone and to actually give it to them!! ( yes, Julie this means you!!!) Trust me they will LOVE it!!! Surprise them for no reason at all.

So here are a few cakes I made up . I think they turned out ok- the more practise I get the better I can get.

I hope to have some scrap book pages tonight after baseball.

My Cute Little post I Promised!

Well believe it or not I finished my cute little post I promised!!!!It's a label for my strawberry jam. I used the stamp set Tart & Tangy on page 126 of the New Stampin'Up! catalogue. This is a super cute and fun set that I'm glad the put in the new cattie!! The stamp set sells for only $16.95 which is pretty cheap for four great fruit stamps. Hope you like it!!

It's been awhile sinse....

I posted some cakes! I have been busy making alot of cakes in the last few days.. Just when I thought I would get caught up with my crafting and scrap booking I got a few orders. So just to let you all know If I'm not posting, I'm baking. I will have a special post hopefully tomorrow cause I made strawberry jam-yummy! so you'll have to check back tomorrow!!! See you then.

Soon!!!!

Just a quick card post of an awesome punch card that Heather designed on Simply Punches-her online class-which is VERY awesome I must add..but is now over... tear.But she will be starting a new Class soon called Simply Babies. So if you interested in an awesome class of this sort go to my side bar and log on to Heather's blog for all the details.

Enjoy your weekend and Happy Father's day to all you dad's out there.I will post a Father's day card that I did with my monthly stamp class.

New Online Class!!!

I just started today the next online Got Sketch 104. This is an amazing online scrap booking class. This is how I get my scrap booking done. I find that I don't really scrap book unless I have someone to do it with so I resort to online classes. The layouts are there, or you can make it your own by changing it up. There are great tips, ideas , prizes, and chats. Valerie Salmon and Janna Wilson both are very talented crafty ladies. You've probably have seen their work in any scrap book magazine out there!!! I will post a link to the site if any of you are interested in signing up. Here's my take on the first layout. I used NEW Stampin' Up! hostess level 3 paper. I soo love it!!! The new in colors are awesome!

New Stuff !

I have been playing around with some of my NEW Stampin'Up! stuff. Let me tell you ,your gonna love the new catalogue!!!! It's design is so beautiful and the new stuff is a I want!!! My list is way too long and my budget is way too small.. So a little here and there is all I can manage. I still have alot of stuff that is carried over so that is a good thing!!!

Here is a sample card I made with a hostess level 2 set-Asian Artistry. I used the new in colors-dusty durango and soft suede. I also used Kraft and more mustard. Hope you like it. Have a great weekend!!!

Opps, 3 more swap cards!!

Sorry there are 3 more swap cards. The one with the weave is made by Jenine. This is one of the new cool techniques. I just love this look.

The Thanks card was made by Lesley. I love kiwi kiss and grey together... never would of thought of such a great combo. Both her and Martha used these colors and I think they look great together!!! Great card Lesley!!!

The last card is just stunning- love the awesome technique that Janey used with Tin foil and the big shot!!! It is a WOW card to me Janey-great job...

All the ladies are very talented I must say and we have the "BESTEST" ( i know , but it sounds cool) up line EVER- HEATHER SUMMERS......She rocks!!!

Swap cards

At the Stampin'Up! - Simply Stars BBQ I received some awesome swaps!!!! So glad I joined in. I will post 2 of the swaps now and 2 later. Jodie's is the beautiful Fifth Avenue Floral with the pink card stock. Just love her choice of stamp and style. The other one was done up by Martha, just as talented. I love how she made score lines on her card and used one of my favorite colors kiwi kiss-which is going to be replaced with NEW in colors starting July 1. I am SO excited for the NEW catalogue!!!

BBQ

Well Saturday was the Simply Stars down line BBQ for us Stampin'Up! demonstrators. We have the best EVER up line Heather Summers. We all met at Jodie's place and we all brought some yummy food. There were burgers, cupcakes, veggies chips and dip and the list goes on.....I ate soo much!!! Oh yeah there was even cake!!! I made the cake . I made it from the logo Heather designed for her down line (us) called the Simply Stars- and we all rock!!!!

Martha made an awesome chap stick, butterfly make and take!!! Sooo cool as always!!! That girl is soooo talented.

We had a card swap and all the cards were amazing!!!! I'm glad that I joined in! I will post my swap card. I think we will be making it on Thursday for my monthly class.....

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Birthday Cakes!!

Well I had to make up 2 Birthday cakes today. I was for a great friend who is a little bit CRAZY , or should I say FUN to be around. Her birthday was on Monday and I promised her a cake. So I made her a small 6'. I should have made it bigger so it looked better.

The other choc cake is for my brother in law. His birthday is today . So now I have to drop them both off. Then of to baseball tonight.

Hopefully I will have a card to post later. Have a great nite!!

Happy Fathers Day???

Well here I finally have a jump start for a Father's Day card. I have to get some things prepared in advance because I have a few cake orders coming up. Hope you like it . I love the sanded background stamp-one of my favorites for sure!!! I used the stamp set And Many Mower from the mini. Color cards stock is I believe bordering blue, choc chip and very vanilla. Have a great day!!!
