Secret Garden Sneak Peek

Wow, I can't believe that it is already the end of the week.  I am in the middle of creating the coolest beach wedding invitations.  They are Midnight Muse, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla.  The bride is so excited with them which makes me feel over the moon.  I can't wait to share them with you; they should be finalized in the next few days.

I want to leave you with a little teaser today.  I created a fun "vintage-ish" card using Secret Garden and am featuring it in my Inbox Inspiration this week.  Don't miss out on seeing the entire card, sign up in the box to the right.

Fun with Young Stampers

I had so much fun on Tuesday night.  I got invited to stamp with a troop of Daisy Girl Scouts.  The girls needed to make thank you cards for the SPCA to send to those people who adopt animals through them and she thought I might like to help.  As soon as she asked, I knew the perfect stamp set, Animal Talk.  I created 2 cards for each of them to make to give to the SPCA but I wanted them to also make something to take home with them.  I love frogs and the frog in this set is absolutely adorable so I thought it would be fun to let them make a bookmark.  Here is a picture of the dog card and the bookmark.  Enjoy!



Supplies:  
  • Animal Talk stamp set
  • Colors: Garden Green, Tangerine Tango, Bashful Blue (color combination is right from the Color Coach)

Celebrate Easter with MDS

I loved the Easter Ensemble when I saw it this morning but I couldn't help but laugh at myself.  The first thought that went through my head was "Ooh, I could have an Easter party and make those cute invitations."  During the height of my scrapbooking, my husband would always say that we lived for scrapbook moments.  Now, I'm planning events around my favorite MDS downloads!  If you too, want to plan an Easter party, or just want to purchase any of these downloads, click here!

Sent with Love

Whenever there is a pack of designer paper that matches a stamp set, I will buy it!  I love the coordination.  Add a set for My Digital Studio to it and I have to have it all.  Luckily, my husband isn't reading this so I know he isn't aware of this weakness.  When Stampin' Up introduced this set, I fell in love right away.  I absolutely love to travel so the airplane just makes me smile.  One of the sheets of designer paper has all kinds of images that can be cut out and used to make fun focal points.  When I saw the challenge at Freshly Made Sketches this week, I thought it would be a fun one to do with this set.

  • Sent with Love stamp set and designer series paper
