An Open Book

This is to honor last week's Featured Stamper Irene (DandI93). I curled and popped up the main image panel so it looked more like an pages in an open book using the Nestabilities dies. The paper is the new Paisley Petals, sentiment is Style Beautiful, and flowers are from Garden Silhouettes. (Stampin' Up).
Butterfly is from Mark's Finest Papers Brick Wall set.

Pansy Note Tote

I made a little tote bag for 3" x 3" notecards for all occasions using the stamp set Happy Pansies by Mark's Finest Papers. I stamped the white in Mellow Moss using the Linen background stamp to give it the look of texture and secured Moss strips and handles with SU vintage brads. Cards are colored in Copics and have matching envelopes (in the tote).

Celebrate Spring!

Designer paper is Basic Grey Porcelain, stamps by Stampin' Up. I made the rolled roses out of Pink Pirouette and Pretty In Pink cardstocks.

New Paisley Petals paper

This is the new SU paper Paisley Petals, from the Spring is Blossoming promotion. I combined with the Elements Of Style stamp set. Ran main panel through the Big Shot using the Vintage Wallpaper folder.

Blog Candy Giveaway!

I am giving away the items shown here in the picture to celebrate my 1000th blog post. Simply leave a comment and a way to contact you if you don't have a blog and my son will draw a random name next Sunday, April 10th.
I have been asked what I do with all of the cards that I have created :)
I have donated approximately 6oo cards to our troops through Operation Write Home and various other card drives that collect cards for our troops to send home to their families. These men and women do so much for us, I feel it is a little something I can personally do to show my appreciation. The rest of the cards I am saving to maybe open up a little on line card shop someday soon!
Happy stamping and thanks again for taking the time to come and visit me!

My Final Cake Class

We completed our Wilton Basic Decorating class yesterday and this was my first completed decorated cake. What a lot of fun!
