Mothers Day

Well here I am again saying that I will post more and I just got so busy..... so now all I can say is that I'll post when I get the chance. Hopefully more often than the last time!

Things look promising because I have 4 swap cards I made for our Stampin' Up! Simply Stars Team. Every month we get together and have a meeting and swap organized or shoe box swaps!! Love this. I signed up each time for two groups.... a lot of cards to make- roughly 30 each time!! So as you can see I have been busy. .. but also have some goodies to post! With that being said here is my Mothers Day card. All Supplies are from Stampin' Up! Hope you like it!

Romantic Style Card

Are you ever wanting to tell that special someone that you care.... I love to send out cards to the special people in my life...just because. Who wouldn't want to receive a special homemade card?? I love being crafty and why not send it to someone with a bag of homemade cookies! Mmm ~ sound good??

Hello

Our church has an outreach commity and I am on that commity. I have tried to think of was to reach out or think of ways of reaching out to people in or around my community. There was a family that recently lost their mother to cancer so we as a church prepare meals or do small acts of kindness to help out.

I was crazy busy packing so I didn't have much time for meal preps so I made cookies and packaged them up and sent it with a Timmi's card put in a homemade card I had previously made. Hope they liked it. So I encourage all of you to be giving in helpful in some small way to someone in need. Have a great weekend.

Scrap Party Page

I had a party about a week ago. It had been a bit since my last one, but it was an awesome night. Must say I enjoy doing parties. This was a scrapbooking group who are very talented scappers... so I was a little intimidated because I haven't scrapped for awhile. My life has been crazy busy packing and moving. Also I had alot of stuff packed and limited amount of 12x12 cardstock that was the same. Only because I buy the packages of mixed... so I gave out very bright , fun coloured paper, and I used the sale-a-bration designer paper pack. I loved the page. So let me know what you think about vibrant colors in scrapbooking??

Sew sweet Hot Pad

We had a downline Christmas Party with "Simply Stars" ( this is Heather Summers downline- which i am a part of and glad to be-for Stampin' Up! ) at King's College. We had it Catered with turkey and all the fixin's. We also did a "make a gift" exchange.... this is my favorite part. We have a VERY talented group of ladies so I knew the gifts would be awesome.... but this also meant I had to step up my crafting abilities!!! So I had help from a friend ( Carrie's Quilting) and made a awesome hot pad with Stampin' Up! material!! I am soo loving all the material!!

Hope you like it!!

Craft Night ! Oh What a Nite!!

Last night was my monthly craft night. It was well overdue.. we all were crazy excited to see each other , laugh and catch up!! Boy we sure did- didn't we Ang!! Man I am soo excited! Can hardly wait to get together again. Hope everyone had a good time, I know I did.

So we made a Valentines craft. We made a slider band for the card.. it had a treat cup and a love note tucked away inside. There also was a 3-d box for more goodies!! A great gift for that someone special on Valentines day! All products used are from Stampin'Up! accept the cinnamon hearts and kisses in the box!

Happy crafting , hope you all have a super weekend!

Craft Night

Things have been really crazy around here...I have been soo busy with cakes, crafts,kids, moving that I have neglected my blog. I have been holding my monthly craft night but haven't posted much if at all... so sorry. I hope to get back into blogging and crafting!!

Just a note to any of you ladies that are in the Aylmer, Ont area I am having a craft night Thursday January 13th from 7-9 pm. Please contact me or leave me a note if you are able to attend. Until then happy creating!!

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!
