Thoughts and Prayers

This is a card I did with my Kaufman ladies. It's very simple and I love the pearls on it.

Candy Wrapper

Sorry I haven't posted in a couple of days. It snowed here in Mabank on Sunday, and I didn't have access to the internet.

Here's a little project I did for my nieces and nephews for Christmas. I can't remember where I got the measurements from so I apologize for not giving credit to the correct stamper. I am always afraid to give anything to my nieces and nephews because they are small and I'm afraid they are going to tear up all the work I did. So, this year, I decided to go ahead and just do it. I took a day to punch and then my daughther and I got busy on making 13 of these. It's not alot but it was great having her help. It went by a lot faster.

I hope you enjoy it!


Happy stamping!!!

Vintage Vogue

First of all, I must apologize for the bad picture. I took this with my phone and it's not very good. I hope that you are able to see it.

This is a card I did with my Kaufman ladies for our monthly card class. The hardest part of this was cutting out the flowers. There wasn't as many as the other card but there was enough. This was one of the first cards I stamped when I got my Vintage Vogue stamp set. Did I mention this isn't wood but clear mounted? When I heard Stampin' Up! was going to acrylics I didn't know if I would go to it or like it but I must say, I like it alot. This is my first and only acrylic stamp set and I'm working on getting more.


I loved the colors used for this card. The ladies loved this card too. I hope you like it too! I really like those rhinestones too! It adds just enough bling!

Have a good weekend, and I'll be back Monday with some more stuff!

Happy stamping!!!

Photo Album

Here is something I made for an idea of a make-and-take or stamp club project. These little photo albums are great to be used as brag books. They are very simple to make and I love these colors. I have always loved this Designer Series Paper, Cottage Wall, but didn't purchase it until the end. I hate buying DSP because I don't use it. I've got tons of it at home.

Anyway, back to the photo album. You can put as few as 3 pages in it or as many as 6. You don't want it too thick. The stamp used is a current hostess set, level 1.

I hope you enjoy it!



Happy stamping!!!
