Clear for teddy

Ciao Bella,

      Yesterday, I showed you a 6×6 scrap page featuring the Clearly for you stamp set and said today I would show you another that was inspired from that little page…

Now this one is a little more over the top ….Because this page is a gift that a friend asked me to make for her…she wanted teddy bears,butterflies,baby in basket…..there is allot going on on this page

 There are lots of Jewels and pearls as well. I am thinking the vintage trinket safety pin, needs a little something more …maybe a pink tiny knot…

Not only did I use the Clearly for You stamp set, I also used the Teddy & Train…And of course a lot of Big Shot Embossing Folder and Embosslettes, and the Scalloped Square Duo die… Punches …at least 4 different ones…and the color Spitzer tool…..This page is almost a stamp camp by it self …..Maybe I should have a class on vintage Scrap Pages … Hmm……

Let me know what you think ?

Scrap’n Clearly for You

Ciao Bella,

   I just can't stop using the Clearly For You stamp set… I just love it …..So I thought I'd try a Scrapbook page….take a look

When I created this page I really wasn't thinking "baby"…..I was just thinking Spring and loving the Baja Breeze stamped directly on to the Crumb Cake …..well I had a friend drop by and say… what a perfect baby page … and I was like … you're right….and then she asked me to make her one, bigger with some changes but based on this …..this is only 6×6…..so tomorrow I will show you,what I created for her …..

Ok I will see you tomorrow …..

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!!!

           I have been busy this last weekend…I bought my hubby a Welcome home Present… Now he wont be home till next month sometime… but when it comes to these kinds of gift .. you have to start looking well before you need them …..I bought him a new set of wheels…. our family needed to become a 2 car family…..so I wanted my hubby to be all set, to take off when he comes home ….

I hope he likes it …..

So what does that have to do with cupcakes?…..Nothing…I just had to share…….Now going on to cupcakes I have been looking at this card for a couple of days now …and I like it …but It doesn't seem just right yet … so I'm thinking I may re work it some more in the couple of days …..but here it is …

I use the In Colors …Concord Crush,Poppy Parade and Pear Pizzazz…..and the New Create a Cupcake Punch…and the Create a cupcake Stamp set….I love this set with the punch…you can make birthdays a breeze….because it you are like me ..making projects that are not too girly, can be difficult …If you would like to purchase this great stamp set and punch for yourself contact me today!!!!!

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

Are you going to make these?

Ciao Bella,

                I have a  workshop tomorrow  morning and so I thought I would do a quick share on what we would be making ….We will be making 2 project.s..a card and a scrapbook page

Here is the card

  I started with Pale Plum for the card stock for the base and layered with Very Vanilla.  I stamped in Pale Plum classic ink using the Vintage Vogue stamp set  on page 26 of the Occasions Mini Catalog.  The flowers were also stamped from the same stamp set .. I cut them out, popped a decorative brad in the middle and used Stampin' Dimensional to Affix then to the card. The butterflies were made with Stampin' UP! Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die also in the Occasion Mini Catalog on page 24. The Greeting is from the Well Scripted set in the Occasions mini as well.

Guess what?….. if you purchased those 2 stamps set and the Embosslits Die in the clear mounted option that would be $58.95… that enough for a FREE Item from the SALE A BRATION catalog…..

Here is the Scrapbook Page

This is a 6X6 page …and that's not me in the picture….I used the new Extra Large Fancy Flower Punch from the … you guessed it .. the Occasions Mini Catty, pg 10, $ 22.95 with the 1 1/4 inch circle punch from the IB&C pg 186, $  15.95 and the Modern Label Punch, pg. 186, $ 15.95.  not to mention the Trio Flower Punch pg. 186, $15.95 . the Ribbon is from the Occasion Mini and it is Very Vanilla 5/8" stain Ribbon pg. 27, $13.95 for aprox 15 yards…the Medallion stamp is on pg. 133 in the IB&C and it goes for $17.95… I love this stamp…I'm actually thinking of doing or boarder or something like it on a wall in my house … I'll post pictures when I'm done…..I used Brocade Blue card Stock for the page base and Bashful Blue for the mat and punches… plus a little sponging around the edges on the flower… I know you can't see it very well but I took Platinum Shimmer paint… yes you can still buy… isn't that way cool…anyway I mixed it up and put it in a spray/mister and misted the page…so it has this faint shimmer to it … It is really cool…

From this project if you bought the Extra Large Fancy Flower punch and just 2 of the three other punches, you would get FREE SALE A BRATION stamps ….

I'm telling you SALE A Bration is almost over only a few more days left … If you want those FREE stamps … and there are over 75 stamp sets to choose from … you need to contact me … today … it ends March 29th….Hurry !!!!!

Crazy time…

Ciao Bella,

          Has it ever been crazy lately, I don't know where to start….

            First I want to remind you that that SALE  A BRATION is Almost over….have you got your FREE Stamps….

           second .. All my Hostess that have held a workshop before March 31st will be invited to my exclusive Running of the Roses Brunch on May 1st

            it is a all day event …Starting with Brunch and then on to some special projects just for them and winding up the day will be a viewing of the Run for the Roses …. The Kentucky Derby ….

            Of course it wouldn't be an event with out our Derby Hats…..Each Hostess will get a Custom Hat, made just for them …..

Now this Easter bonnet picture was Shamelessly Borrowed from Tiffany Bauer at My Crafty World…..    Thank you so much Tiffany….

But I have had no time to make one to show you and Since each hat is a custom design for each hostess …I didn't want to show "their" hat yet…

I'm so excited I can hardly wait ….This is going to be so much fun that I'm also going to include anyone who Joins my Stampin' Up! Team….so if you have ever thought about Joining STampin' Up!… between all the great discounts, free stamps, and a special Party ….Why Not?

I still have dates open in March if you would like to have a workshop? I will even hold it in my Home …all you need to do is bring a snack …

On a much different and sad note ….one of my dearest Uncles passed away yesterday morning ….due to colon cancer….so in between making family calls getting ready for a Briefing about my husbands up coming trip to the middle east I created this card

I wish I could share more of it with you… but the stamp set hasn't been released yet….and wont be until May… but it was so perfect for my Grandmother that I couldn't help myself…..It is so beautiful ….

have a good week ….

Sweet Treat – Easter Peeps

Ciao Bella,

           I think I'm finally done with being under the weather…And boy I am really looking forward to Spring… it keeps trying to peek out but not quite…

So to help things along I thought I at least start making some projects that look like Spring….and I finally tried playing with Stampin' Up!'s Sweet Treat Cups…..

I wanted to do something that could also be used for a little boy…so I went out of my comfort zone and used colors from the BOLD BRIGHTS color family….and it had to be super easy….so I used my Big Shot….I took a 1/4 sheet of whisper white and ran each piece through the Big Shot using,Stampin' Up! Perfect Details and Stampin' Up!'s Backgrounds 1 Texturz plates and Stampin' Up!'s Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Folder from the Occasions Mini Catalog.  and then I use Sponge Dubbers to dub on color using Stampin' Pastels in Bold Brights…

Now Mr Peep was a little big for the Treat Cup so I had to give his feet a little trim….but that's ok because when you saved your punched circle to use a background in the Sweet Treat Cup…it also double a "holder" for Mr. Peep…and no sticky Marshmallow on your hands when trying to get him  in or out of the Sweet treat Cup…..

Let me know what you think… we are so close to the 1,000 visitor to my blog …be sure to leave me your email in your comment so I can let you know if YOU won the Blog Candy…..
