I've been making handmade earrings and selling them. Yesterday I put together earring holders for the earrings. They where so simple, but I feel they really add that little extra touch. <br />
<br />
<br />
All I did was take a 3 x 4 inch piece of crumb cake cardstock and scored at 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch on the longer side and then took a hole puncher and punched 2 holes in the cardstock. I then took my favorite stamp from the baroque motifs set (sorry it's retired now) and stamped the swirl in white ink on the crumb cake cardstock. I love the way it came out! What do you think?<br />
See how nicely they compliment all the different earrings. <br />

Look what I did last week! We needed a new bottle for our dish soap. We've been using the plastic bottle that it comes in and we bought it at BJ's so it's giant and doesn't fit well at our sink. So I went to the craft room to my alterations cupboard to see what I had that I could use. Of course this just happened to be waiting for me. It's really designed for olive oil, but it will do the job just fine and I love how clean and simple it looks sitting next to my sink! <br />
So let me tell you how to make this.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTislCsEkiJLxDZddwqYznHeqllBDOVaOAWY1mIKGkns0ZDRByMajcrg8uuhUVeOoEVN5yI7ub5EAc4HzPMlxxXPKglcm672OIhghPrxpuWMM2MSnt7NVNXzJtnT98tgXtSqltLiYFtU8/s1600/dish+soap.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTislCsEkiJLxDZddwqYznHeqllBDOVaOAWY1mIKGkns0ZDRByMajcrg8uuhUVeOoEVN5yI7ub5EAc4HzPMlxxXPKglcm672OIhghPrxpuWMM2MSnt7NVNXzJtnT98tgXtSqltLiYFtU8/s400/dish+soap.jpg" width="217" /></a><br />
Supplies: <br />
Clear glass bottle<br />
Big Shot<br />
Big Shot alphabet die of your choice<br />
Etching Cream<br />
Foam paint brush<br />
vinyl or contact paper<br />
scrap paper<br />
<br />
The first thing you want to do is prepare your working space by putting down newspapers or scrap paper where you will be working.<br />
Next make sure that you wash your glass bottle to get off any residue that might be on the bottle. Spray it down with some Windex after and wipe it off just to be extra careful.<br />
Let's talk etching cream for a minute. Etching cream can be found at your local big box craft store. Etching cream is expensive so what I do is to make sure that I use a 40 or 50% off coupon that you can find in your newspaper or online so that you can make this project more affordable. Etching cream can be stinky so make sure your in a well ventilated room. I haven't had a problem with the smell, but I do know that some people have. It can smell like rotten eggs. <br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
1. Using your vinyl or contact paper cut out whatever saying you want to use from your big shot. <br />
2. Peel off the backing to your letters and carefully place them on your bottle. Making sure that all the edges of the letters are sealed down on the bottle so that the etching cream doesn't leak under the letters.<br />
3. Liberally apply etching cream to all areas of the bottle that you want to etch. I find dabbing it on instead of brushing it on will give you better coverage and less brush lines when your finished.<br />
4.Wait for 15 - 20 minutes and go make sure that your sink is cleaned out and that you don't have any glass near where you'll be working on the next step.<br />
5. After your 20 minutes, go rinse off all the etching cream. I use my hands to get all the etching cream off. <br />
6. Dry off your bottle and peel off your vinyl letters and your good to go.<br />
<br />
I think these would make fantastic Christmas gifts. You could use the family's last name in place of the dish soap, or even do one that says olive oil.<br />

I love how every time I fill up the soap bottle I can use a different color soap and the bottle will look new every time.<br />

I have to apologize to everybody. I've been posting to my blog from my cell phone several times in September or should I say I THOUGHT I was posting to my blog. Went to check my blog from my computer and the posts aren't there! Frustrating, oh well. So back to taking pictures with my camera and posting from my computer. So what have I been up to this week? Well thanks for asking! Today my daughter has a birthday party to go to and the little girl who's party it is, is turning 8. So I went shopping for a gift the other day and didn't really find anything I liked in the toy isles. Eight is kind of a transition age where they are starting to grow up a little bit. So I went and looked at books, but I was at Wal mart and lets face it, they don't have a good book selection. So then I went and looked at the beauty products and knew exactly what we where going to give her as a gift. I hope she likes it, Kayla loved it and can't wait to give it to her so hopefully that's a good sign. I made up a little manicure set. Why am I telling you all this? Well to lead up to this.... I made the box and the tag that the gift is in.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEgA8YwCTzX9Im0Q2SFJn3KmXzEssYly5eMPF07HZ7UmEl1kvKP8eTRD1WhKLf-o_tMSf-AXewcHfKmra7ON-rcGAeh-WUetRzGMxBZSqHv_TX5NjjXXkXrP2KaUu9Q68ivDV8T3Sow90/s1600/kiley+bday+present.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEgA8YwCTzX9Im0Q2SFJn3KmXzEssYly5eMPF07HZ7UmEl1kvKP8eTRD1WhKLf-o_tMSf-AXewcHfKmra7ON-rcGAeh-WUetRzGMxBZSqHv_TX5NjjXXkXrP2KaUu9Q68ivDV8T3Sow90/s320/kiley+bday+present.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Here is a picture of the full gift.

Stamp Club will be starting in May and I will only take 1 or 2 more people for club so if you are interested, let me know asap so I can save your spot! This is one of the projects that my stamp club ladies will be enjoying in May! Isn't this ribbon flower just beautiful! If you where to buy these embellishments at a craft store you would be paying $4.00 to $5.00 for 2 of them, ouch! I'm going to show you how to make these flowers for almost pennies with products that you probably have on hand. And if you don't have the products on hand they are products that if you buy you could use over and over again for other projects too! Those are the type of projects that I like! When I saw this idea, I had to drop everything I was doing and try it right away! It's really fun and not hard at all!<br />

Hello! It's sunny today, it's so exciting. I spent a few minutes outside yesterday afternoon in my flower gardens. Picking up the leaves and dead flowers from last season and found many flowers starting to poke through the soil! Warm weather is really almost here! This weekend is supposed to be beautiful and I can't wait and I saw that early next week it may hit 70! And on my journey's today I actually saw GREEN grass. Can you tell I"m excited for spring to actually be here?<br />
So in honor of spring and warm weather and the sun being out, I have a floral card for you to look at.<br />
I used razzleberry and garden green with whisper white and a touch of soft suede for a couple of the flowers. I used my blender pens and ink pads to color in the flowers. This is a 3x6 card when it's folded. I used a 12x12 piece of cardstock for this card and cut it in 1/4's.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5-Zh2MWvruQKDheNCp5XWWg81IxZDqsu59C5tyBRAqnB6_vp6uBiitke913xf831y5ul-Pg2nz-jxEzAUi15v13q_NE17sfNpG5PQOIcF9ql76Gpct4Xv7JieRJvRWRhlyXjeDPYzSn8/s1600/from+the+heart.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="192" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5-Zh2MWvruQKDheNCp5XWWg81IxZDqsu59C5tyBRAqnB6_vp6uBiitke913xf831y5ul-Pg2nz-jxEzAUi15v13q_NE17sfNpG5PQOIcF9ql76Gpct4Xv7JieRJvRWRhlyXjeDPYzSn8/s320/from+the+heart.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> I used lots of rhinestones on this card to give it an extra special touch. Here is a close up of the coloring. I love the way the ferns came out. I used wild wasabi first as my lighter color and then came back and added touched of garden green to make it look more realistic.<br />

All the flowers are "popped" up on dimensionals to give the card more interest.<br />

I really enjoyed making this card. Coloring is one of my favorite things to do. I find it soothing.<br />
I hope you like it. <br />
Have a great day and happy stampin!<br />

Where I am it's cloudy, rainy and snowing all at the same time. It is April right? <br />
Today I have a super cute birthday card to share with you. This card will be featured at my upcoming birthday card class. If you register a guest by April 7th you'll get to make 2 of these cards for FREE, just for bringing a guest with you. So you'll get to make 12 cards for the price of 10! Here are some more details about the class and just so you know, if you want to be part of this class I only have a couple more spots open!<br />
<div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">Birthday Card Class</span></strong></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">April 21st at 6:30 pm</span></strong></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">10 cards for $25.00</span></strong></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">RSVP due by April 7th</span></strong></div><div align="center">Make 2 each of 5 different designs. We will be making cards for men, women and the kiddos too!</div><div align="center">Register a guest by April 7th and make 2 extra cards for FREE. Picture of card you'll make for free is shown below.</div><div align="center">Please bring your own adhesive and dimensionals</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">Isn't this card just super cute? The green didn't photograph properly, this is more of a celery color and more vibrant then what shows up in this picture. This color combination is super fun and looks great in person.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBQr0xp9VdIPPgqBUBJ4yB6xu_T1ZKrmEIvLi_Sw5KNE2sVLDVSW8qBIsmDIIFQlF5GDRblTCmBj82IUFKkDsCdmOvvoKZMwlqMVb4mxlbdL18Qh0_MXdQQmZhGyDCPCxNP4G7bkH402Y/s1600/happy+bird+day.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBQr0xp9VdIPPgqBUBJ4yB6xu_T1ZKrmEIvLi_Sw5KNE2sVLDVSW8qBIsmDIIFQlF5GDRblTCmBj82IUFKkDsCdmOvvoKZMwlqMVb4mxlbdL18Qh0_MXdQQmZhGyDCPCxNP4G7bkH402Y/s320/happy+bird+day.jpg" width="243" /></a></div> This picture is a bit darker, but you can see the texture on the baja blue cardstock a little bit better! Do you see the 3 rhinestones on this card? There is one at the top of the birdcage as well as 2 on the sentiment. These really sparkle in person. <br />

Sale-a-bration is coming to an end. So I wanted to show you one last stamp set that you could earn for free with a purchase of $50.00 or more! This one is actually out of the big Idea book & catalog. Did you know there is an entire list of stamp sets from the big catalog that you can get for free! It's the last page of the sale-a-bration catalog.<br />
I've been using my color coach a lot lately and it's so much fun to see the color combinations that they put together for you. This color combination was baja breeze and not quite navy. I added crumb cake and champagne shimmer paint and baja glass glitter (from the spring mini catalog).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4kHrKqssFskgbxUtAZ8SbMFEThWYhtwrWsSfDxdc0PzBCafTQSbHrOD90d2XE0XK6uG7ax9AzeVBKhngoB2RobayS873S-yxHzE2mU92vMdzV__ap_mU8eKioySzSHhbjCFdRQOjhR-Y/s1600/sab+always+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4kHrKqssFskgbxUtAZ8SbMFEThWYhtwrWsSfDxdc0PzBCafTQSbHrOD90d2XE0XK6uG7ax9AzeVBKhngoB2RobayS873S-yxHzE2mU92vMdzV__ap_mU8eKioySzSHhbjCFdRQOjhR-Y/s320/sab+always+2.jpg" width="240" /></a></div> There are so many small details. Here you can see the little pearls that I've added to the sentiment. I also used a blender pen and my champagne shimmer paint to give the sentiment a little extra something. I also took some of the crumb cake seam binding and twirled and folded it all different directions until I liked the outcome of the ribbon.<br />

Where I am the sun is bright and I'm loving it! Today I have a card to share that is actually a welcome baby card for a friend. My friend used this owl for her baby announcement so I thought I would use it for her congratulations card. This owl is part of one of our sale-a-bration stamp sets called "punch bunch". You can get this stamp set for FREE with a purchase of $50.00! This Thursday is the last day to place an order to qualify for free sale-a-bration products. <br />

I actually used 3 different dsp's! They where all from one of those level 1 paper packs (this one is from a few years ago).<br />

I'm having a drawing for a 6 pack of handmade cards. The only thing you have to do is "LIKE" my facebook page. Then if you post to your wall that you like my page and suggest it to your friends, you'll get entered a 2nd time into the drawing for the cards. If you get this blog post by email, just click over to my blog and on the right hand side you'll see a angelariddellstamps facebook page button. Click on that and it'll take you to my facebook page! <br />
<br />
Also just wanted to let you know that there are only 3 spots left for the birthday card class, so if you want a sport register soon!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Good morning to you! Last night I had a workshop with some of my favorite people. Our hostess had requested some projects geared toward children events that incoorperated owls into the projects! I think I successfully met her needs. I'll share those ideas with you in the next few days!<br />
Today I have a card for you that uses the Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set. I haven't played with this set in a LONG time and I"m not sure why, because I had a blast and it's easy to get a nice looking card, quickly with this set!<br />
I made several cards with this stamp set and color combination as well as the same pieces of cardstock. The only thing I changed up, was the way I used the embellishments on the cards. I"m only going to share one of the cards with you though, because I'll be using the other cards for stamp club (which starts in April, so let me know if you would like to join us).<br />
I would say that this card has a vintage look to it and it's hard to see in the photo, but it has tons of shimmer to it as well!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I used our pearls which I think every stamper should have a pack of these! It's a great way to add that extra touch to your card in such a simple way! I also used the seam binding in crumb cake from the spring occasions catalog and I have to tell you, when I purchased it I wasn't sure if I would like it, but this is another must have! and I would probably recommend this color first, because it goes with so many other colors!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Today I have a sample for you of one of our sale-a-bration stamp sets. This card is bright and cheery and perfect for what I'll be using it for. A dear friend of mine, is going through A LOT in her life right now and I just wanted to send her a cheerful, thinking of you! I think encouraging people when they are down is so important! I had a rough week last week and received 2 very thoughtful cards and let me tell you what a difference it makes when you know that someone is thinking of you!<br />
This card uses a bunch of our sale-a-bration products! The designer paper is from the the ice cream parlor designer pack and I love it so much! The ribbon and button are also a package that you can earn for free with a $50.00 purchase before the end of March! Also the floral stamp is from our sale-a-bration stamp set "punch bunch" all the stamps in this set coordinate with our fantastic punches! This particular image matches with our circle scallop punch.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhpBtc5oi0CheFu0jIekja8ljJgUB9VkmhvqhRsouf2x4Clg82iArmvseDjOhIoZSJJp6L-XaJKzozUDxOgwXpGV1xu3aGbeN3fMJRb9lXFjIOg4ZN3Q0QMXoWVOllycMSgVW0oCChpcw/s1600/sab+punch+bunch+floral.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhpBtc5oi0CheFu0jIekja8ljJgUB9VkmhvqhRsouf2x4Clg82iArmvseDjOhIoZSJJp6L-XaJKzozUDxOgwXpGV1xu3aGbeN3fMJRb9lXFjIOg4ZN3Q0QMXoWVOllycMSgVW0oCChpcw/s320/sab+punch+bunch+floral.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>One of my favorite items that Stampin UP carries are our wonderful markers! I love that you can color right on a stamp with them and how they allow you to have more then 1 color on a stamped image to make it look more realistic. I also love that the markers come in all of our wonderful colors, so they match with our cardstock, inks, designer papers and all of our embellishments!<br />
<br />
The color combination used on this card is: melon mambo, whisper white, daffodile delight<br />
<br />
Have a fantastic day and happy stampin!<br />

Today I wanted to show you, something that I made in My Digital Studio today. It took all of maybe 10 mins. I like to make up nice looking, colored flyers for my upcoming classes, so today I made one for my Birthday card class coming up on April 21st. Spaces are filling up, so if you would like a spot, please rsvp soon! <br />
To make the flyer I used the FREE sale-a-bration MDS offering. Did you know that one of the items you can get for FREE with a $50.00 order during sale-a-bration was a My digital studio package that includes digital images of all of our sale-a-bration offerings? How cool is that! So what do you think? Have you played with MDS yet? Are you interested in taking a My digital studio class, where we would go over all the basics of MDS? If so, please let me know and if there is enough interest then I will do a class.<br />
<br />

I had a really bad migraine. To the point that I couldn't function at all! But I'm back today and I have a scrapbook page to share with you. This scrapbook page could be used for several different occasions. "A star is born" "Our super star" are a couple that come to mind. I used the large and small star punches and punched out different color and sized stars! I love how bright this layout is.<br />

Man what a busy week and it's only Wed. I really thought it was Thursday with how busy it's been lately. <br />
Today I'm going to share a Christmas card sample with you, that we did at a workshop last night. When I made the card I had our hostess in mind and when I told her that and then pulled out the card to show everyone, you wouldn't believe how excited she got. She loved it so much that this will be her Christmas card this year.<br />
I chose non-traditional Christmas colors and I have to tell you I love these colors.<br />
The other part about this card that I absolutely love (and if you know me, you know what I'm going to say) is that there is glitter all over this card. I love how it sparkles!<br />
This picture does this card, NO justice.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSTuFFzqrnxY9nkixuYVHvbo1M3pswkVZO_vOsM5zlv5BAzlhHURzwMnj8soabM0VlSCuynVkrXS3e0SE2DDyL3NA2ELIQYYuJKVGfsSklUXb-GbP6YlSrSd1SLWtMehtRFiXyo_bmuww/s1600/grey+and+purple+merry+christmas.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSTuFFzqrnxY9nkixuYVHvbo1M3pswkVZO_vOsM5zlv5BAzlhHURzwMnj8soabM0VlSCuynVkrXS3e0SE2DDyL3NA2ELIQYYuJKVGfsSklUXb-GbP6YlSrSd1SLWtMehtRFiXyo_bmuww/s320/grey+and+purple+merry+christmas.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>I love the little hint of old olive with the ribbon. And I'm not sure if you can see it or not but I also added the self-adhesive rhinestones after the "merry". I wish you could all see this card in person to see how pretty it really is.<br />
<br />
That's all the time I have today,<br />
Happy stampin!<br />

Again this is probably not you're normal baby shower card. I used darker colors again for this one. I do think that the glitter in the turtles help to make it a bit softer though.<br />

I really like this paticular stamp set. I used old olive and always artichoke together.<br />
It's supposed to be a beautiful day today, I hope you get to get out and enjoy it.<br />
Have a great day! Happy stampin.<br />

The other day I showed you a scrapbook page I did with our decor stencils. Like I said the other day, I ended up doing a 2nd page to it (because that's just me, I like symmetry.).<br />
So I thought I would share that with you today! So here is the 2nd page, very similar to the first.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtzpFQIzYUBNqm0Ae7SwlEB0doi93kRmvioDLRcwgwEX7DrYhPMPjguwFGRAuTu45xwbv-piYiz1gQ3END-IXFXw2fsgC1WH1bDafdibjCo6Vx96dhIbxC9lP26rmcnRzkjVNKDTD0NIk/s1600/peace+love+and+joy+scrapbook+page+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtzpFQIzYUBNqm0Ae7SwlEB0doi93kRmvioDLRcwgwEX7DrYhPMPjguwFGRAuTu45xwbv-piYiz1gQ3END-IXFXw2fsgC1WH1bDafdibjCo6Vx96dhIbxC9lP26rmcnRzkjVNKDTD0NIk/s320/peace+love+and+joy+scrapbook+page+2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> And here is both pages together. This 2 page scrapbook layout is available in <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/61665748/vintage-ornament-christmas-double-page">my etsy store</a>! Go on over and check it out. This would make a fantastic present for anybody who likes to take pictures or anybody who likes to scrapbook. All they'll have to do is throw in their pictures.<br />

What a busy week it's been, how about you? Today I have a "friends" card for you. Do you have one of those really special friendships in you life? This card would fit perfectly. I really like the color combination of marina mist, crumb cake, whisper white and daffodil delight.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5CAES1O7AOBKnNuSifI6b5ZQjcMkj8XM4MLPqV3peBm3arMm9Pq-gil_dZMv5e_6JqcsUXHFVHJerSf4J6FTOp6PxyIhvkR4fkRg-O0TkSdC0kj48-0GuwtkVcrIFe3oUCKCp8DX1tCA/s1600/friends+never+fade+marina+daffodile.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5CAES1O7AOBKnNuSifI6b5ZQjcMkj8XM4MLPqV3peBm3arMm9Pq-gil_dZMv5e_6JqcsUXHFVHJerSf4J6FTOp6PxyIhvkR4fkRg-O0TkSdC0kj48-0GuwtkVcrIFe3oUCKCp8DX1tCA/s320/friends+never+fade+marina+daffodile.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>I really like the giant "scallops" I made using a circle punch and taping them next to each other. On the crumb cake card stock, I used versa mark to give it that tone on tone affect. <br />
<br />
<br />
Well that's it for today.<br />
I hope you have a great day and happy stampin!<br />

Happy Veteran's day to you! I hope you've all had the opportunity to take a minute and really be thankful for all the men and women who have served our country or still are serving. I'm very thankful for them and their families for giving me the freedom that I have, even to the simple things like enjoy a hobby like stamping without anybody telling me it's forbidden. We truly are very blessed to live in the country we live in and that might not be the case without all of our soldiers.<br />
<br />
Ok off of my soap box and onto the project of the day! A scrapbook page! I haven't scrapbooked for about a year! I love scrapbooking and when I was getting my scrapbook ready to go to a workshop tonight, I realized how much I missed doing it. So after I was done packing for the workshop, I decided to do a quick page and I have to say that I really love it!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMN5Tk0OzZmLIs3YKjPXoSsrb1ABXy8Zw5yq546RmRRsNx8bp0Z34-dA_QJ1tmPR4scoqe8QlJ5DaVWDmJUJyMhUgatHXw9x92eD7iaXC9ViPPhpsyn5Byg4kCmvO1NcFmgBY1GGc12Zc/s1600/ornament+stencil+scrapbook+page.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMN5Tk0OzZmLIs3YKjPXoSsrb1ABXy8Zw5yq546RmRRsNx8bp0Z34-dA_QJ1tmPR4scoqe8QlJ5DaVWDmJUJyMhUgatHXw9x92eD7iaXC9ViPPhpsyn5Byg4kCmvO1NcFmgBY1GGc12Zc/s320/ornament+stencil+scrapbook+page.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>I used chocolate chip, real red, baja blue and wild wasabi. I also used our ornament stencils from our decor elements line as well as the big shot for the words. If you look closely you can see that I also used our shimmer paint and one of the stencils on the chocolate chip card stock as well as on the baja and wasabi photo boarders. I'll probably make a matching page to go with it, because I'm not a huge fan of 1 page layouts. I need the symmetry of a 2 page layout! Crazy I know.<br />
The best part is that I have a page already to go for this Christmas, so all I'll have to do is slap in some pictures!<br />
<br />
I hope you all have a great day and happy stampin!<br />

I can't believe that it's already Wednesday. Yesterday was such a busy, fun, jammed packed day for me. But I am glad it's over too. I did art class yesterday at Kayla's school and those kids are so much fun. I love how the really get into their art projects. Unfortunately I can't show pictures on-line without parents permission so I can't share me fun with you. But I can share their projects, so maybe every once in a while I'll share with you.<br />
Today I have a little bit of picking up to do around the house. I'm thinking dishes, a little laundry and a quick vacuum around the house. Then I have to make a baby shower card for this weekend.<br />
<br />
So today I have a baby card to show you. This card is not your traditional baby card, let me explain. A friend of mine had a baby back in August ( I know, bad friend who is just getting to give her a gift). My friend's favorite color is purple. I didn't have any purple designer paper besides the new concord crush so I paired it with basic grey. So needless to say it's a lot darker then most baby cards would be, but I think she'll like it and that's what really matters.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKoiBRRmPXS11f1GnEjJCKakUVV0L4sD-B7uKn5qKVUiAGz7QbmweFI1avJJi7Bwjy96F3MdFfY3baabbUIfmz9c_qrMHi1j1UJ1HKnt5E9AcZOOzHXjEp0jRBA7Dx1a0vBv8mfKQU-N8/s1600/nina%2527s+baby+card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKoiBRRmPXS11f1GnEjJCKakUVV0L4sD-B7uKn5qKVUiAGz7QbmweFI1avJJi7Bwjy96F3MdFfY3baabbUIfmz9c_qrMHi1j1UJ1HKnt5E9AcZOOzHXjEp0jRBA7Dx1a0vBv8mfKQU-N8/s320/nina%2527s+baby+card.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>I used the designer pack of paper that you can get as a level 1 hostess (only $150.00 in sales needed to qualify). I also used the new concord crush twill ribbon. I'm not sure if you can see them or not, but I also added 3 rhinestone jewels to the bottom right corner. I used the hippopotamus from pun fun. I think she's super cute. I colored her in with my blender pen and ink ( I think my blender pen was pretty dried out though, which makes the color not blend so well). I'm off to do my chores.<br />
Well I hope you have a great day and happy stampin!<br />

Today I have a sample for you that we will be doing at a workshop on Thursday. They'll be making this card and a great little candy holder, using what else but the BIG SHOT!<br />
<br />
On this card I used the new stamp set Contempo Christmas. I love how the ornament goes with our ornament punch. <br />
I used cherry cobbler which I have to say is probably my new favorite red for Christmas cards. It's a nice deep red. I paired it with old olive, crumb cake and whisper white. <br />

It's been quite awhile hasn't it! I had some things I went through, but I'm feeling much better and the stampin mojo is BACK double time so watch out!<br />
<br />
Here is a card I made last night. I love how soft it looks! I added just a hint of glitter on the tips of the flowers can you see it? What do you think of the color combo? It's whisper white, crumb cake, baja breeze (so happy this color is back!) and just a hint of night of navy and pear pizzaz. This card will be available in my etsy store later today, along with some other fantastic cards including a Christmas card set! Go check them out. You can just click on the link on the right of my blog.<br />

Once a month I host a meeting for all my demonstrators who have signed up under me to become demonstrators. This month one of my downline Nikol, was in charge of the the make and take project! This is what she came up with! Isn't it great! She added texture, we used the lots of tags die's and Navy and daffodil delight is a great color combination. Nikol works great with our big background stamps! Her cards are always beautiful and she's been a demo now for just a few months and she's already rockin it out!<br />
