Jolly Holiday Match Box Advent Calendar

I made and sent this Jolly Holiday Match Box Advent Calendar for a Stampin' Up! Christmas Contest. This Advent Calendar is perfect for storing something special for the days leading up to Christmas. You could put chocolate in each of the drawers, or I suggested to my Husband that he could put jewelry in each of them for me to open!

Linus Got His Blanket Back!

In continuation with Snoopy pulling Linus' blanket, I made this card of Linus happy and content as he has his blanket back...

Coming Home...

Coming home today from Las Vegas...

Viva Las Vegas

Viva Las Vegas... I am off to Vegas this weekend to meet with my sisters... This picture was taken in March when I was there to celebrate my 14th Wedding Anniversary and Gene's birthday...

I Feel Like Linus...

I am sure that I have expressed how much I like Snoopy... Out of all the Peanuts characters, I would say that I am more like Lucy. However this week, I feel like Linus as I don't like Snoopy taking the blanket away from me...

Notably Ornate meets Artistic Etchings

Notably Ornate coordinates so well with my favourite set Artistic Etchings. I used the Big Shot Top Note die along with another design from the Love Letter DSP.

Aviary

I saw a similar card while I was surfing, but can not find it again to give the proper credit. I used the stamp "From Our House" from Sweet Season and replaced the house with the owl to create a "belly band" in this gate fold card.

Eiffel Tower

Here is another card with the Eiffel Tower and the Love Letter DSP. Very simple. I just love this set!!!

Fifth Avenue Floral

I got this colour combination from Elise Blaha's blog. She recently got married and hand made many of her items for her wedding which included invitations to her wedding bouquets. Her wedding colours were orange and grey. So I thought I would make a card with these colours as I have been following her blog.

I am a "Princess"

This card uses the crown from Artistic Etchings and the Love Letter Designer Series Paper. I love this crown as I tell people that I am a "Princess"...

I am here!

I know, I have been MIA for months... I haven't had a lot of inspiration, but with the new Idea Book and Catalogue, inspiration has been coming back...

This card was created from a similar card that I received in a swap. I used the Eiffel Tower from Artistic Etchings. It definitely brings back the memories of while I was in Paris last year. Being able to see the Eiffel Tower in person is "surreal". Oh, I so want to go back to Paris for the "Pain au chocolat"...

Colour Renovation!

Stampin' Up! announced that there will be a Colour Renovation starting July 1st in the new Idea Book & Catalogue. Some previously released "In Colours" which were retired will be returning to our colour pallete. My favourite--Baja Breeze, along with Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette, Pacific Point, Tangerine Tango, River Rock and Wild Wasabi. In addition to these past In Colours, the current In Colours; Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry and Soft Suede will be added to the new colours! Stampin' Up! will also be introducing five new colors to the Colour Renovation. They are: Marina Mist, Cajun Craze, Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso and Cherry Cobbler to complete the four new Colour Collections.

There will also be five new In Colors released in the new 2010/2011 Idea Book & Catalogue, for a total colour pallete of 45 colours! These new In Colours that will be released will be available for 2 years before they retire and will be joined by another five new colours in July 2011 when the full compliment of 50 colours will be completed!
