Birthday Advent Calendar

I hope you all enjoyed your long weekend. We had a quiet weekend at home and tried to get some packing done. I can't wait to get our new house. It is coming quickly and I am no ware ready. I also go back to work on Thursday. I don't know how I feel about that. A little mixed. It is always hard to leave my baby's.

Today I wanted to share with you this project I created for my online class. It is a Birthday advent calendar. It is made with pockets to put a treat in for each day. Lilly is all about the counting and I can't wait for her to use it. I used the Celebrations DSP. I LOVE this paper! It just makes you smile. It is not to late if you would like to join my class click HERE for the info.

Have a wonderful day!

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.
