Who doesn't love some hearts!

The deal of the week is the Heart to Heart punch. Check it out!

Big Brother 12x12 Scrapbook Page


Well, when you have a young boy that is extremely excited about becoming a Big Brother you have to have a special page just for him! Actually, I created a 2 page layout but I'm only showing the main page of the two on this post.

Here is the page that SunnyGirlScraps created for the special "Big Brother" 12x12 scrapbook page:


Father 12x12 Scrapbook Page


Here is the beautiful 12x12 Father page that I created for the baby book that I gave as a gift to our Pastor and his wife. This is such a beautiful and stunning page for a father and his new daughter.

Mother 12x12 Scrapbook Page


Well, SunnyGirlScraps has done it again with another beautiful 12x12 scrapbook page. This is the "Mother" page that I created for the Baby Book that I gave to our pastor and his wife. This is really a beautiful page and just brings me peace especially when I think of what some photos will look like on the page.

Baby Girl 12x12 Scrapbook Page


This past weekend I attended a baby shower for our Pastor's wife. This will be their second child and they are very excited about having a baby girl. Their son who is 6 years old told his parents that he wanted a baby sister called Lydia - He made this announcement when he was 3 years old.

As a baby shower gift, I created a baby scrapbook for their little girl. Here is one of the pages that I created:

Ready for Christmas?


Well, I don't know about you but I'm definitely not ready for Christmas especially since it is still so far off in the future! But, I am starting to think about Christmas cards. Admittedly, I'm not the best about getting Christmas cards sent off to everyone that I REALLY want to send Christmas cards to and a few people always get left off the list because I run out of time. This year, I'm planning way in advance.

I'm having a Christmas In August Stamp-A-Stack to help me and a few other get ready!

Here is a sample of a simple card that we will be doing. This was actually done for a Chat & Challenge on SUDSOL. I will probably add a few small embellishments to the final card but this gives you an idea of one set of Christmas cards that we will be creating.

Deal of the Week


Well, it is now Week 4 in the Stampin' Up! Deal of the Week offerings for the month of July. This week I have to share that I really love this deal. I love the Hodgepodge Hardware and the Styled Vanilla is absolutely beautiful. The Styled Vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware adds a very elegant touch to any project you may be working on whether it is a card, scrapbook page or 3D project.

Deal of the Week


Hey... We are on the third week of Stampin' Up! Specials. Here is this weeks special:


Housewarming Party


This evening we went to a housewarming party for some friends. The party was lots of fun and they have a really cute house. There was plenty of food and friendship.

I also had the opportunity to hold baby Sloan. Oh, she is absolutely adorable and so sweet. At one point it looked like she was going to start screaming but I've got the touch :)... She quickly settled into my arms on my lap and I was able to rock her back to sleep with her arms spread out with all the loud noises going on around her without a care in the world.

Well, I had to bring a card to my friend Amanda to congratulate her and her husband on their new home. When I made the card I used the Crushed Curry with Pumpkin Pie. I was so thrilled to find out that Amanda's favorite new In Color is the Crushed Curry. So here is the card:


Stamp Set: Circle Circus and (retired set Congrats)
Colors: Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White
DSP: Razzleberry Lemonade
Accessories: Crushed Curry Polka Dot Grosgrain (used backside!), 1 3/8 Circle Punch
Big Shot: Circles #2

Animal Stories for a Baby


Hello Baby Sloan!


This is a card that I just made for a friend that I'm seeing tonight at a BBQ. Her daughter, Sloan, was born about 1 month ago. She is an absolutely beautiful baby and it was time for me to say "Hello Baby!"


Stamp Set: Animal Stories & Teen Tiny Wishes
Designer Series Paper: Tall Tales
Colors: So Saffron, Soft Suede

SunnyGirlScraps Custom Scrapbook Designs


Hello everyone...

This is actually just a test post. I noticed that the date of my posts had not been showing up and was wondering what was going on. Well, I looked closer at my blogger settings and realized that my date format was accidentally changed. I've now changed the settings in the hope that the date of my posts will now show up.

Sooo... I'm doing a second post about SunnyGirlScrap Custom Scrapbook Designs!

Don't have time to scrapbook?
Don't feel you have the artistic abilities to scrapbook?
Don't like to do many crafts?

BUT you...

Love the look of a traditional scrapbook?

Then call SunnyGirlScrapper Pam for your custom scrapbook needs! I love to scrapbook and will treat you to a sunny day with a beautiful, custom traditional scrapbook of your latest family outing, event, or vacation.

I offer different packages that should meet everyone's needs along with a monthly page club for as little as $37.00 a month (not including supplies). Supplies are purchased by you separately preferably through my Stampin' Up! business. I do state a minimum purchase of $500.00 but that is not set in stone and is based more on what you want as far as the complexity of your scrapbook.

WOW Watercolor!


I absolutely love to watercolor and love the look of watercolor paintings. The French Impressionist era is one of my favorite periods of Art History. The works of Claude Monet, Edouard Manet, Edgar Degas and Piere Augusta Renoir are just a few of my favorites. During my Junior and Senior years of College, I was able to squeeze an Art Minor into my busy schedule. The medium that I focused on for my art studies was watercolors.

Because of my background and love of watercoloring, this card just calls out to me. It is a beautiful technique that is actually relatively easy. There are a few different names for the technique I believe but I've been told that it is called "WOW Watercolor Technique." Regardless of what you call this technique, it does create a WOW reaction!

On July 29, I will be teaching a the WOW Watercolor Technique class. To RSVP or learn more about the class, click HERE for my Meetup.com site!

This is a very versatile card great for Wedding Cards, Mother's Day Card or a birthday card. The card is absolute elegance!

Stamp Set: Fifth Avenue Floral & Oval All
Accessories: Organza Ribbon, Oval Scallop Punch, Oval Large Punch
Big Shot: Stampin' Up! Little Leaves Sizzlit Die
Technique: WOW Watercolor, Heat Embossing
Colors: So Saffron, Regal Rose, Pretty in Pink, Rose Red

Belated Fourth of July.


I meant to post these cards back around the 4th of July but FUN disrupted my plans.

Here are 2 great cards that could be used to celebrate the 4th of July or any other occasion. In honor of the Red, White & Blue, here we are:

Colors: Rose Red and Not Quite Navy. Stamp Set: Circle Circus and Teeny Tiny Wishes. Accessories: Circle Punch and Scalloped Circle Punch


Colors: Rose Red and Bordering Blue. Stamp Set: PunFun. Accessories: Grosgrain Ribbon and Ticket Punch. Pattern paper: Retired Hostess Designer Series Paper

Crushed Curry In Color


Here is one of my most recent creations presented during a recent Chat and Challenge that I participated in online. I really do love this card!

The new In Colors are delightful, fun and very bright. This card is centered around my use of Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and So Saffron. The stamp set used is Circle Circus. The accessories used include 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon, Scallop Circle Punch, Scallop Circle Bigz Die and Hodgepodge Hardware.


A New Catalog and New Year


Well, I've been busy this afternoon updating my blog and sidebar items to reflect the change to a new catalog and new year of Stampin' Up! products. It is so exciting to have the new catalog go live knowing that there is a great year ahead with lots of great new products being offered.

I'm really excited about using the new accessories, papers and stamp sets. Soon you'll start seeing samples of my cards and scrapbook pages using the new products.

Here is a link to the new catalog!
