Here is another version of a card we made at our Graham class last week.  Same layout – different view.  I love when we find card layouts that are so versatile. This card was made with the Patterned Occasions Sale-A-Bration set and Tiny Tiny Wishes

I wish the Calypso Coral, Soft Suede, and Pool Party paper would have come out a little better in the picture.  I am horrible about ordering Designer Series Paper (DSP) – I mean horrible.  So, I often find myself creating my own DSP with embossing

Pin Wheel Wishes Your Way

I just love this card – so glad I found the idea from a fellow demonstrator named Mary!  That’s one of the best parts of being in the Stampin’ Up! family.  When the mojo just isn’t there, which quite frankly – I’ve had a super hard time finding it; I can turn to another demonstrator for inspiration.

We made this card at our Graham class on Sunday.  Wishes Your Way is a set of all occasions greetings.  The gals used the birthday, thinking of you, or the encouragement phrase.   This was also one of the cards some of the gals created for Operation Write Home.  Bet you are wondering how we made the pin wheels aren’t you?  We used the fabulous new pin wheel die out of the spring catalog!

I just love, love, love the Oh, Whale.  This was a super fun hearts candy box cover we created out our Graham class on Saturday.  When you pull the ribbon our box of hearts comes out.  This is the perfect Valentine of boy or girls,

Every time Ken leaves on a mission, I tuck a card away in his bag.  I’m sure by know he expects it, but trying to find it is a different story.  This was the card I made for this time and one of the cards we will be making on Saturday the Graham class.  It was a really super easy card and fun to create with all the texture.

Here is another card we created at our Lakewood stamp camp.  What is great about this card is how easy it is to mass produce and a great way to introduce new stampers to several different products and techniques at one time without overwhelming them.

Jackie made a card last night for a friend at school who fractured her leg.  I have to say – I am not impressed with the color choice.  blue and orange – ugh!  I am a crimson and silver kind of girl 🙂  Blue and

We had a great time Saturday afternoon at the Lakewood stamp class!  Lots of laughs and a few new gals joined us as well.  I have really fallen in love with the Pattered Occasions set from the Sale-A-Bration catalog.  There are so much fun uses for the different stamps – covers just about anything you you may need.  I love all the texture and color in this card.  What makes this card so great to me is it can be used as an anytime love card – not just for Valentine’s.

I have to admit when Stampin’ Up! began to create bundles with stamps and framelits, I fell in love!  I am completely addicted to framelits.  I think I love them as much as I love my children.  Hearts a Flutter stamp set and framelits is
