Clearly For You, I can’t get enough

Ciao Bella,

      What a busy weekend …. let me just sat that my oldest son, my sweet baby, has informed that he asked a girl to the Prom…I'm so excited for him, he would say too excited…truth be told I didn't go to any of my Proms… I was never asked ….and my conservative parents wouldn't allow me to go with a couple of girl friends…anyway…..my son's prom is not till May …I promise I will take lots of pictures and share them with you…and of course in doing that ,embarrassing my son … a 2 for 1 in my book ….lol

This put me in such a creative mood this weekend that I was just a creating fool…..and I'm still in love with the stamp set Clearly For You. I had so many comments on my 3×3 card that I made a full size one

I just couldn't stop adding to the card, there are Designer Jeweled Pearls, Antique Brads that look like buttons, ribbon,twine and designer rhinestones….

Look at all that …crazy, crazy going on …….

For the flower … I used my Stampin' Write Marker's directly on the stamp on give the flower all it's color…..and of course there is a lot of sponging of the edges to get that vintage look…..

Also I don't want you to forget  that there is only a couple days of SALE A BRATION left…..For every $50 you spend in Stampin Up products you can receive FREE stuff!!!!! Who doesn't love free!!!

Spring In Color …

Ciao Bella,

     Let me start by saying OMG…. Wednesday afternoon, my brand new laptop …Black screened on me ….so back to the store I go …and exchanged to another new computer … get that one home …and it was not new…it had been set up with other peoples info ….so back to the store I go ..again yesterday…I certainly don't want to buy a computer that has been returned ….why was it returned and then not wiped…..hmmm and then to be charged a new computer price when it had obviously been USED!!!!! I'm starting to wonder…..but anyhow … I have a another New computer …..cross your fingers …

 Moving on … I haven't really played with this years in colors, I had been getting familiar with all the new colors from the color renovation last July,so with Spring here…I thought it was high time I did so ….

aren't those so of the most gorgeous colors, you have even seen?  I do have to admit the photo editing software on my new laptop is pretty cool too….. I uses the butterfly from the Clearly for You stamp set from the Occasions Mini Catty  and the greeting is from Occasional Quotes a Hostess set….. the colors are the new Concord Crush, Poppy Parade, and Pear Pizzazz…..I can't tell if i made butterfly flowers or balloons…eitherway I like it and I'm thinking this just might be my April's Workshop Project …..

So if you would like to learn how I made this card , contact me today to set up you workshop …..

WELCOME SPRING

Ciao Bella,

               I bet you thought I died or fell of the planet …didn't you….well as soon as thought I had my laptop fixed … the next day it died ..had a complete melt down …and well … I had to wait a little bit before I could get a new one …..so here we are …..

Now that Spring is arriving …(at least here in Savannah) …Tell me what you want to see …projects,cards,…the sky is the limit….

I'm actually so excited that I feel like I"m relaunching my business …and I think I will …..you will see new tutorial and classes and are you ready for this …..Videos…. yes I said videos…..I bought a video camera last summer and I actually exchanged 2 times because it "didn't work" but just for fun I tried it with my new laptop …..and whooh it worked …….so be ready …..

To get the ball rolling here is a little Spring Project for you …..

Isn't my PEEP cute … he is sitting in what's called a 2-4-6 basket/box……it is so easy… just take a 6 inch square piece of card stock,  score at 2 inches and 4 inches then turn your paper and Score again at 2 inches and 4 inches … so your score marks should look like you are getting ready to play  Tic Tac Toe…..and then snip your horizontal score marks …just to the vertical score marks and then fold….. easy peasy….

I used Blushing Bride for my box and Pear Pizzazz pattern paper to decorate it ….. the I used the butterfly from the Clearly For you Stamp Set in the Occasions Mini catalog….and finished up with Baja Breeze Seam Binding Ribbon …. 

Too cute…..

Ok so Remember… let me know what you want to see and what kind of projects you are interested in …so we can get Spring rolling
