Post-Valentine's

I'm late with this, I know, but these are too cute not to share! They were a card for my hubs & a gift for my kindergartner's teacher.

Cute stuff!

I used the Melon scented embossing powder from the Occasions Mini Catalog to emboss the adorable little cupid. {YUM!} He smells edible! :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Happiest Birthday Wishes!

This cheery card was made with Stampin UP!'s Big Top Birthday Designer Scrapbook Paper {DSP, in the future ;)}, Real Red, Tempting Turquoise, & Whisper White card stock. I used the Real Red 1/8" taffeta ribbon, as well as my new favorite, Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine, to accent this cute card. I also used a stamp from the Hostess Set Happiest Birthday Wishes, & both the 2 3/8" & 1 3/4" scalloped circle punches.

So much fun! :)

I'm glad you stopped by!

Welcome to my world!

I'm playing up a storm with my new Stampin' UP! goodies! I've recently aquired a crafting room (we call it the WOO HOO!! room around here {I'm planning to get that in vinyl for the door}, since there's nothing but fun being had in this room), & I'm THRILLED to share what I'm making with local friends & with the blogging world!

There will be lots of creating going on, with some fun tutorials, some mixing-it-up with other's creations, & some fresh ideas of my own. :)

I can hardly wait to play!
