Photo Folder

Happy Monday!

Just a reminder that my on line class starts today! You are welcome to join. I have some fabulous projects planed that I'm sure you wont want to miss. Click HERE for additional details.

Today I wanted to share this folder I made for friends of ours that are getting married. My husband did their engagement photos. You can check out his website HERE. We were going to their engagement party and I wanted to give them their pictures in a special gift folder.

I made this using 2 - 12 x 12 sheets of card stock. Sorry I forgot to write down the dimensions. I then added an additional pocket to put the cd in. It turned out beautiful. I know this DSP is retired but it suited the occasion. I miss this paper since I have girls and I love all of the bling.

Have a wonderful day!

Sympathy

Today's card is a sad one. Not one we ever want to make. I made this for a friend who had the unthinkable happen to her. Her son unexpectedly passed away. I wasn't sure if I should post this card, but I wanted to acknowledge this young man's life. I really like the message. "You are in my thoughts you are in my heart" It explains how I feel as well as how My friend will always feel about her son.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Wendy as you go through incredibly difficult time.

I love to make 3D items. Today's is super simple but pretty. I used the flower daises #2 die to create the 3 flowers. The large flower has 9 layers, med - 6 layers and small has 3 layers. The background paper is from the Woodland Walk DSP. I finished it off with Very Vanilla 1/4" Ribbon and Vanilla brads from a Hodgepodge Hardware Kit. Hope you like it.

Purse and Cards

Today I would like to share this purse and cards I made. I have seen many of these around and I have been dieing to make one of my own. Here is my take on these cute purses. Did you notice the half circles on the bottom and the faux stitching? I did the stitching with the white gel pen. The gel pens are amazing!

Then I made a few cards to go in it. This is the first time I used my Owl Punch. Wow I love this cutie pie! I sure will be using it a lot more. Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day everyone!

Sweet Friend

Today's project was created by my super sweet friend Leela. Leela is a friend from Utah that I meet at Convention 2 years ago. I don't ever want to miss convention because it would mean I wouldn't see Leela. She made a magnet board covered in DSP. Is is so fun! and a nice journal that I am going to use write memories of my stamping friends in. Thank you Leela!

I have made so many wonderful friends because of Stampin' UP! We truly are like a family. We look out for one and other in both our business and personal lives. I would love to share this opportunity with you. If you have ever thought Stampin' UP! might be something for you. Weather you would like to get your supplies at a discount or would like to earn some extra income. Please email me so we can talk some more. I would love for you to join my team!

Sunny Planner

Happy Monday Everyone!

Today I would like to share with you a planner I made for an organized swap at convention. I am happy with how it turned out. I made it using 1 sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 This makes it super economical to make.

I used the super yummy Greenhouse Gala DSP. Don't you just love all of the new papers we have to play with? I am super excited as I get my $500 stamp order today. This is one of the many benifits I recieved for winning the Artisan Award. I have some more of these beautiful papers in there and I can't wait to make some new creations to share with you.

2010 Artisan Award Winner Blog Hop Project #10

You have arrived from the talented Elizabeth Prices’s Blog.

Welcome to the last day of the 2010 Artisan Award Winners Blog Hop. I am sad this is our last day but I will continue to have things to share with you and I hope you will join me in my online class Folding with Renee Ballard.

Now for todays project. This is by far my very FAVORITE thing I made. I was even so bold to ask Shelli if I could have it back. She chuckled and said “you wouldn’t be the first to ask for something back” I guess that means NO! Oh well, I guess I could recreate it but it just isn’t the same.

I think this one speaks for it’s self. This one is of my youngest Ella. There is a picture of each page. Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions. I would be happy to share with you.

Thank you for continuing to visit over the last 2 weeks. I feel truly blessed to be one of this years Artisans winners. It has been a pleasure to share a little piece of me with all of you and I hope you will continue to come back. I would also love for you to join me in my online class. Have a fabulous weekend!
