Swap Card Saturday

Each Saturday I am going to be featuring a card that I have received as part of a swap. I have received so many spectacular swaps and I want to share them with you all.

To kick things off here is a card that was created by my friend Bette-Jane. She is such a talented lady and just about the sweetest person I have ever met.

Is this just not the most fun card? It has so much detail. I love how she used the eyelets on the wheels. She is a genius I tell you! Then you open it up and WOW again!

Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Inspiring Scrapbook Page

Here is a super simple 6x6 scrapbook page I did of my beautiful bulldog Hyla. This is such a classic bulldog face. I wanted to keep it simple and focus on the picture. The colors just make it pop.


I loved the color combo (real red and elegant eggplant) on the scrapbook page so I decided to use it for my Simply Stars shoebox swap card. I used the bouquet bunch stamp set here again. Have a great day everyone!

Boquet Bunch

I made this card for a shoebox swap not realizing that Kiwi Kiss was not a returning in color! WHAT??? I thought it was in for sure. Oh well it gave me the opportunity to use an old favorite with one of my new favorite stamp sets Bouquet Bunch. This is such a sweet stamp set and the buttons I LOVE these tiny things. You will defiantly be seeing more of this one. Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Happy Birthday Chloe

Here is the card and gift bags I made for my dear sweet niece Chloe who just turned 5. She is 5 going on 25! Where dose the time go? I feel like time is flashing before my eyes. She is so much fun. Happy Birthday Princess. We love you so much!

I love to make these matching sets. I used the Sunny Day Simply Scrappin’ Kit to make both. These kits are so much fun and easy to use! I used the Alphabet simple numbers die to cut out the number 5 on the front of the card added some old olive ribbon and vola! Have a wonderful day everyone!

You are not going to believe all of the things retiring. I was mostly shocked to see all the embellishments that are going. Stock up on all of your favorites because once they are gone you will not be able to get them again. I will keep today’s post shot and sweet so you can get on to the good stuff. But before I go you should know that all of the retiring décor elements are 25% off and many of the embellishments are 25% to 50% off. WOW! So get a cup of tea and have a look.

I am still on cloud nine from my very exciting news yesterday. Just in case you missed it I have been selected as one of the 2010 Artisan Award Winners. I can still hardly believe it and am so honored to be selected from hundreds of entries of extremely talented stampers. Thank you all for your well wishes.


Today’s project is a gift card holder I made for a Simply Stars Swap. I used Dusty Durango for the “clay pot” and sponged around the edges to give it a warn look. For the flowers I used the Stampin UP! Birds & Blooms die and the stems are from the Stampin UP! Baskets & Blooms die along with the Extra Large Two-Step Bird punch. The bird punch will be in the new catalogue being released on July 1st. I can hardly wait to get this catalogue in my hands. I know this will be the best one ever! Aren’t they all??? I have a strong feeling that most of our current catalogue will retire and we will have so much new wonderful stuff to create with. And new colors too! I am so excited and I hope you are too. Thank you for checking in with me today.

Friend to Friend

Thank you for continuing to check in with me. I’m sorry I haven’t had any post for you the last few weeks. My grandmother passed away suddenly. So the girls and I ventured up to the great white north to be with my family. An 11 hour car ride with a 6 month old and a 2 year old. I didn’t know what would happen but they were both good as gold! We are home safely and I have some creations to share with you.

Today’s card is a fun circle card using the friend to friend stamp set, sweet pea designer series paper pack, pink satin ribbon, certainly celery card stock and brads, and the designer label punch. I paper pieced the birds to make them pop!

Thank you all again for your patience. I hope you all have a wonderful day. To all my Canadian friends I hope you enjoyed your long weekend.

Simply Sunday Sketch

Here is this weeks Simply Sunday Sketch by Heather Summers. This one challenged me a bit. I don't often mix different designer series paper. I am pleased with the out come though. The flower was created by using my scallop edge punch and scoring between each scallop. I then folded it to make it POP! This is fun and super easy!

Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
