Happy Birthday

Big Birthday Bash Stamp-A-Stack

Well, the Big Birthday Bash Stamp-A-Stack, was a success!  I had a wonderful time and several ladies also came over on Saturday during the Spring Fling Crop to make the Birthday Cards since they were not able to make it the day of the Stamp-A-Stack.  

To all my friends, YES, you CAN make cards from a Stamp-A-Stack at one of my monthly crops!  If you are unable to attend a Stamp-A-Stack on the day it is held, call me and let me know you would like to attend the crop and complete the Stamp-A-Stack - essentially you are RSVP'ing for the package and I'll have all the materials ready for you when you come to the crop.

Here is the first of the 3 cards that I created:

PPA33 Color Challenge and Lots of Bots

Lots Of Bots

This past week has been really crazy at the Staples household!  On Monday, March 1, my Father-In-Law had surgery which required him to stay in the hospital for at least 5 days.  The good news is that he was able to go home over the weekend and is doing fairly well.

When I saw the Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge, PPA33, I decided I just had to play along.  I knew I needed to make a "Get Well" card for my Father-In-Law and the colors just seemed to call out to me as a great color scheme for his Get Well card!

I hope you enjoy the card!

Card Recipe:

Stamp Set:  Lots of Bots
Designer Series Paper:  Certainly Celery
Cardstock:  Certainly Celery, Kraft and Garden Green
Embellishments:  Chocolate Chip Grosgrain Ribbon, Jumbo Eyelets

Then, of course, MaCree the Kitty Cat - Pesky Kitty, insisted on adding her "Paw of Authenticity" and showcase the photo.  I think she approves, don't you agree?  

Have a Sunny Day!

This past Saturday I went to a baby shower for a friend and made the "Beautiful Little Baby" card which is one of my absolute favorite cards. Then the next day it was my upline's birthday and, of course, needed a birthday card. I love the way both of these cards turned out. The colors are beautiful and I just love the layouts. Enjoy...



This past Friday, my upline celebrated her wedding anniversary so a card was needed for both her and her wonderful husband who patiently puts up with so many crafty women invading his home on a regular basis. The inspiration and design for this card came from Mojo Monday #81. Mojo Monday is quickly becoming a favorite website especially for card design patterns. I also find inspiration from Lauren Meader. Lauren has a beautiful style and her designs are always fresh as well as fun.



Here is one of my mother's day cards and I'm working on additional cards...



This is the latest 3D project that I've been working on from Stampin' Up. It is called the Scalloped Box and is very cute. The box isn't very big but fits a small bag of treats, business cards or a large pack of gum.

3 New Cards

Here are the latest cards that I just completed. I'm trying to get ready for this weekend with card ideas I can do with my nieces. These are just what I've done and probably will not be what I do with the nieces. Just having fun exploring some new stamp sets that arrived yesterday.
