Gift Card and Card

I was asked by a great crafting friend to make up a gift certificate for another crafting friend who just had a baby. Her and a bunch of other friends wanted to give her a present she would truly enjoy... and they came up with a gift certificate from Stampin'Up! What a great idea. Now she can buy scrap booking supplies and scrap some pics of those beautiful girls!!! Thanks to Anne Marie and the other ladies who pitched in and thought of such a great gift!! I know she will love it!!!

So I made a coupon card and put it in a card that I made up using one of the vibrant new in colors-melon mambo, basic black and pretty in pink! What a great color combo. I used the Hostess stamp set Love bug and one of the New stamp sets coming out September 1 called Charming. Trust me the new mini has a ton of great sets and Charming is a MUST!!! I love this set! It has 7 stamps and is only $26.95 Can. The minis are available September 1 2009. Hope you like the card.

I will post more swap cards in the next few days. Have a great weekend!

Downline meeting

On Monday I went to the Simply Stars down line meeting! The meetings Heather hosts for us are way too fun and awesome!! We all get together and chat, eat great treats, talk about Stampin'Up! stuff and do a make-n-take project.

The make-n-take was created by no other than the talented Jodi...she is part of our team...she also submitted work for the Artisan award. So yes she is very talented and I love her work!!! I will also post her swap card she made, and I'm sure you'll all agree her work is amazing! So enjoy!

Busy Summer !!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry the posts have been few but it has been a busy , crazy Summer for me. I have spent alot of time with baseball, soccer,church camping, our sick dog and alot of baking. Recently I made my first wedding cake and it was very fun, nerve racking, and a time for me to be a bit proud that I actually accomplished it without any serious problems and that I LOVED the cake when I was done! So with that said I would love to share the finished cake picture. Hope you like it!

Big Shot craft night!

Well I finally had a craft night on Thursday with the BIG SHOT !!! We made a few projects- a daisy embossed card with the plates , a treat box and a create your own card with the new in colors and some designer paper. This was my first open class since the new catalogue.

I think we all had a lot of fun. Thanks ladies!!! Thanks especially to Anne Marie who ventured over with her new handsome baby-Jullian...

To Susie, who is due any day!!!! To Julie for bringing her sister Carrie and her beautiful girl Riley out!!! And for Janette, coming out and having some fun with us even though she is still grieving the recent loss of her sister Ellie. May she rest in piece knowing how much she is loved and missed...Yes the ladies that come out are all amazing and I am soo thankful that they are a part of my life !! That regardless of thing that happen in our lives we all enjoy each other's company and can get together once a month and craft and create something beautiful! Thanks Ladies!
