HI Everyone,

I promised you a post today and so finally here it is! A car hit a pole and wiped out all the phones/Internet for half of our little town. So I'm excited that its back up ! My cell works barely ..lol

I created a Cricutless card today...I know right? lol...but when I saw this paper I knew I had to make something with real goldfish ! lol

I used 2 Pink by Design stamps, the wave background shown behind the fish and the sentiment is from Animated Greetings.

I used some yummy twine from the Twinery and Pink by Design and the tag and treat cup are both from Stampin Up.
Don't forget Sarah is releasing more cute stamps tonight at her live U-Stream !!!!

thank for stopping by and enjoy~

Happy Anniversary !!

Lily's Party Decorations

Hi Everyone! I wanted to share some decorations I made for my daughters 6th birthday !!! She wanted to do the party in zebra and hot pink! SO I was able to find plates, napkins and balloons to perfectly match!!!

At Michael's I found some cute zebra print cupcake liners which again was perfect! So I created these cupcakes and banner

Here's a close up of the cupcakes... I used Mini Monograms and Sweet Treats

And here's a close up of the banner I used the Mickey Font, the Lacey banner spellbinders and created hot pink rosette's. I also used turkey feathers, bling, twine, and embellished with my white gel pen.
The party was a hit and she loved it !!! Thanks for stopping by~

Its all about recycling our scraps today..... My daughter has a birthday party this weekend so we made signs for the pop up trash cans !

Of course the hot pink is not a scrap but everything else is. I used "Give a Hoot" Cricut cartridge and a Peachy Keen stamp "Bright eyed and bushy tailed"

I got these huge leaf pop ups from ACE Hardware, made the signs and laminated them with my Your Story, then used twine to tie them on. I will of course use drum liners inside the pop ups.

Enjoy~

Masking your Stamps !!

Hi Everyone!

Today I wanted to show you how to mask your stamps.
What is masking you ask???
Taking one stamp and layering it on top of another. In this tag I masked the spools of thread.
I made 2 projects the first a Vintage tag I used the Pink by Design sets Sew Lovely and Just the Ticket.

For this card I took the salt shaker from set " What's Shakin " and created a salt and pepper shaker.


Here's a quick video showing you how to get the most from any stamp image !
