Christmas Came Early This Year!

My preorder from the new upcoming Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog has arrived. Do you see anything that you like...what's your favorite?  My favorite is the Halloween stamps and the SUPER CUTE "Home Sweet Home" thinlits die set that has a coordinating stamp set.  Please check back later to see what I've created using these fun goodies.

Yummy Treat Box Surprise

Everybody loves a little chocolate treat once in a while right??  For today's creation I made a cute little slider box that fits 3 little chocolate treats inside.

Thinking of You

Today's card I created for my hubby.  I will be leaving on vacation without him so I wanted to leave a little card behind for him to find on the bed that will let him know that I am thinking of him and that he will be missed while I'm away.  I know the pink background cardstock isn't your typical "manly" color to use but I grunged it up a bit with a splatter mark stamp.  That made it dirty and more masculine right???  -LOL

Totally Grateful

Today I tried stepping out of my comfort zone by using more than 1 or 2 stamp images on one card.  I like the look when I see others doing stamped layered images on card fronts but I would usually stick to the basics when creating my own.  Anyway, in this particular card I used 4 different stamp images and I was quite pleased with the way it came out.

You're a True Friend

  Ok...I have a secret confession to make....shhhh!  Don't tell anyone!  Here goes....
I have over 100+ Stampin' Up! stamp sets and probably 75% of those are in pristine condition that have NEVER been inked on....NOT even used once!  I am a definite collector!  I have envisioned what glorious creations I would make if I had this or that stamp set.  Once I receive the stamp set, I gawk over the images for a while and then it gets filed away with the rest of my lonely stamp sets ....never living up to it's full potential of what she was put here on earth to do...to be stamped with and used as a tool to create a true work of Art!

So...I've decided to get out those stamp sets and put them to good use!  I will create works of Art and allow my stamp sets to live up to their true full potential.

Wine...Anyone?

Ok...I am NOT particularly a fan of Wine but the stamp set, "Mixed Drinks" has some cute sayings and various beverage glasses that I had to add to my stamp collection!  This is a super cute stamp set that I can see making many fun cards with....it's very versatile!

Ridiculously Happy

Super CUTE and super EASY card I created today for a special someone that makes me "ridiculously happy".  {wink wink}  I just LOVE this sentiment....it makes me happy!  - LOL

Happy Father's Day

Good Morning to everyone and I especially want to give a special shout-out to all the dads on this day of celebrations ~ Happy Father's Day!  Today's card I made using the monthly Paper Pumpkin kit.  Super fun and manly huh?!

With Sympathy

Today I created this card for a friend who recently lost a dear loved one.  My condolences go out to her and her family.  Please hug your loved ones extra tight today and remember that tomorrow is NOT for certain so live each day to the fullest.

From Me To YOU

This is my fun card for the day.  I hope you like it.
