Soon to Be Last Chance for Sale-a-bration

Hello Stamping Friends,

Welcome to another fantastic blog hop with the Stampers Dozen. This month we are sharing with you some great Sale-a-bration projects with you since this is your soon to be last chance for Sale-a-bration freebies. If you have a wish list, now is the time to act. 

For tonight's card I used the fun ladybug set that is a hostess set during Sale-a-bration. You can earn this FREE with a minimum party. There's still time to collect orders to earn it. Ask me how and I'll help you achieve your goals.

This card is great to send to a friend that you just want to say,"Hey," to I love the little saying Hey, Lady! with this set. Such a fun little saying that definitely graps your recipients attention rather quickly. 

The ladybug looking over her shoulder as she hides under the large flower is great. Then the tumbling little ladybugs adds a fun border to the bottom of the card. I used the banner to "ground" the flower and ladybug and make the border a different focal point.

Don't forget to continue hopping to see more great Sale-a-bration Ideas.

February is All About Love

Remember to Create!

Hello Stamping Friends,

Happy Valentine's Day! Hope you celebrated sweetly with your loved ones. Remember it's for all your loves, not just a significant other. Since February is all about love and our blog hop with the Stampers Dozen Group falls on Valentine's day we just couldn't help ourselves. We had to share projects that are promoting the love.

If you saw my earlier post today with the Sisters in Stamping, you saw a very easy card to create. Well, this card is no different because it is just as simple. I used the From My Heart Bundle to create the card. I let the designer series paper do most of the work for me because it is beautiful. This paper is a specialty designer series paper, so those little hearts you see on the background are metallic and raised. The heart the greeting is on is also metallic. The awesome thing about that heart is that the paper consists of rows of hearts that match the heart punches perfectly. I love the easy coordination of products. Stampin' Up! makes crafting so easy by taking so much of the guess-work out of creating.

Thanks for stopping by. Don't forget to keep hopping. All of the links are below.

All About the Hearts

Remember to Create!

Hello Stamping Friends,

Welcome to another week with the Sisters in Stamping. This week we are all about the hearts. Today is Go Red for Women in honor of women's heart health month. This is a day near and dear to my heart because my mom died at the young age of 40 from a massive heart attack which changed my life forever. 

Below is a picture of her and my fiance (now husband) just a few short weeks before she passed away. Notice she was wearing red. Her favorite color. Interesting how we celebrate women's heart health in February, the month of her birthday, in the same week as her birthday. Great way for our family to remember and honor her.

She somehow always managed to live life to the fullest no matter what was going on around her. It's been 25 years since she left us and I miss her every single day. I still have the dress she is wearing. Perhaps one day I will wear it for her. 

My project for today was a class I held last week. I love, love, love the way it turned out. It's a 12x12 page that goes in a frame for a marvelous home decor piece. It looks very complicated, but in reality it was pretty easy to make. It's all about the layering, and I have a lot of layers going on. 

I used the From My Heart Suite Bundle to make this and then just added in a few other things to complete it. Each little square or rectangle looks great on it's own, but the look of them all together is just fantastic. Using the suite bundle gave me everything at my fingertips and made creating this artwork so easy. 

Everyone at the class loved it. I'm even going to hold a St. Patrick's Day class soon. Contact me if you are interested in that class. I even offer them to go if you can't make it in person.

Don't forget to head over to the Sisters in Stamping blog for more heartfelt ideas.
