Quick n Easy

I'm still trying to post a lot of my past creations, only because alot of them were quick, simple or way too cute not to!! Here is one from one of Stampin'Up! past mini - I believe last March.... I love their little kits. Especially the little princess Birthday kit....only because my two little girls both have their birthday in March and 1 week apart. This kit had the invites, decorations and take home goodies packages all I had to do was pop them out , assemble them and decorate them-that simple and way cute!!! I had to make two princess cakes so that left no extra time!! Hope you like the pics!!

Where have I been u ask??

Well you know how all of a sudden life gets crazy busy and you are able to only get a few things done....well that's what happened to me.. overload!! Also our computer crashed and we had to get a new one. I lost a lot of my pics and info-very heartbreaking!!

The two bags I made awhile ago . The one on the right I made at my up line Heather Summers class. We used the pendant die, a circle and scallop die for the big shot. This was a fun class. After I came home my two young daughters wanted a bag too. I don't have the pendant die so i just used squares. I only got one done soo far, but hope to have to other one done sometime soon. Hope you like them.

Mother's Day Class

Sorry I haven't been posting lately but I am planning on doing more crafting and posting!!!

On Thursday we had our Mother's Day class where we made a tri - flap card with a pull out tab. I made it so we could add photos of our mom's ... and my class challenge was to send me a 50 word paragraph about your mom. They didn't realize I was going to print them off and they could put them in their pull out tab!!! But I really liked the way it turned out... sorry I didn't add photos but realized I needed updated photos!!
We also made a pillow box that we stamped on with Yo-Yo yellow on so saffron and it looked awesome!!! Loved the old olive , so saffron and really rust together! We added a 3d flower and it was stunning!
We then stamped on a white gift bag. Our stamp we used was Inspired by Nature. Hope you like it!

Design Challenge

Well we were given a design challenge from our up line Heather Summers and I finally completed one!! Not sure if it's on time but it's done!! I love the 3 colors that I used, so saffron, old olive and really rust. I also used the Kaleidoscope DPS- love this paper!! Hope you like the card!

Focus on Family Craft night

Well I just had my Focus on Family Craft nite on Thursday. We used the All in The Family stamp - this was one of the very first sets I ever got and barley used! I absolutely love this set- I forgot all about it until Family Day. We all had a blast! Missed a few ladies- the weather was bad and some were sick or on holidays- must be nice Susie!!!!

So we made 2 cards, a book mark , a 5x7 family portrait - a likeness of our families, and a cookie treat bag! I made the cookies to be a likeness of the stamp!! They loved it!

Happy Family day

Hope you all had a Happy Family day!! I know I did. I enjoyed having my husband and kids home... we didn't do much but we did go out for supper! The food was great!!

Here is a card we will be making at my craft night in about a week. I love the secret window- I used the tags die for the big shot. I must admit this was the first time using it.. and I love it. Hope you all like it.

Valentines Treats

Ok I admit I have been busy baking again, and not alot of paper crafting!! I have been trying new things with my baking so I can better prepare myself for an upcoming cake classes with no other than the famous cake decorator from Utah- Carrie Biggers!! I am a huge fan of hers- her cakes are soo impressive and perfect in every way! I am in AWE of her talent!!

Anyway this Valentines post I have is part craft and part baking, so you get the best of both worlds today!!! Well I could of spent more time on the packaging but I let it to the last minute - this morning at 8:00, so that gave me 1/2 hour to get them done!! Here they are - hope you like

Challenge!!

I always love a challenge! I love the new colour challenge that Heather gave us... so I made 2 cards. Here is the second one... I made it "pretty" and wanted to give it a old style- Victorian look! Hope you like it!

Sorry Here's the Green Valentine!

Green with envy Valentine!!! LOL

Green Valentine??

Ok who says you have to stick to the traditional valentines colors?? Well I had a colour challenge from my upline to use old olive, chocolate chip and blush blossoms- so I thought why not?? So I made a valentines card. Tell me what you think!! Have a great weekend!

Valentines craft

Well I had all my lovley stampin' ladies over the other day. The one thing I asked them to do was make a card- any style , what ever they wanted and put it in a white envelope. They were then asked to put their address on it after our game. They were first asked to put a number between 1 and 10 on it. So we shoffled and moved them around and the received a card from one of the ladies they stamp with!!! Alot of great cards!! Forgot to take pics - as always!!! Then I had some retired stamps and they each got to pic one as a thank you. The person who had 1 started the picking!!! Then I instructed them that they have to make a valentines card and mail it to the person who's name is on there envelope by Valentines day!! At the next class they have to bring the card!! They loved it and had alot of fun!!!

For our project we used the mini milk carton die and decorated "his" and "hers" and put them in a box with a mini card. ( alot of the idea is from Heather's - my upline's blog) We put pink, red and white gum balls in hers and 2 chocolates in his. Hope you like the project!!

And a Few more retired sets!

Happy New Year everyone!! Wow have I been MIA again...I haven't done a whole lot of crafting, but some.... and I just haven't posted!! Sooo sorry!

Here is a real cool way to wrap a Lil love into your presents. I got the idea from my up line Heather Summers who got it from Angie Juda Kennedy-Chic n scratch blog!! She is way talented.I loved it and just had to make some. Sooo I wrapped up 2 baskets for my neighbours.

I used fabric from Wal-Mart and my big shot and sewed each flower and added the ribbon.
