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 from the 2012-2013 Catalog.  Again, I hate the colors did not come out as well as I had hoped.  I really need to invest in a better camera and photography station.

I shared this card with my dear friend Charlotte who gave me some inspiration for some of my political friends.  I’m going to have to play around with MDS and come up with her fantastic idea.  I’ll share it with you soon 🙂

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

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

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, kids or adults.  I had to had a little bling with a rhinestone.  I think it adds just a bit more too it.  I’ve got to get busy, I need to make 20 of these for Jackie to give out at her Job’s Daughters meeting.  Oh gosh, we still need to make Valentine’s for her class, her Girl Scout troop, and Wynter’s cheer team.  I guess, I better get on that!

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

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.  Let see, we did two step stamping, using a boarder punch, a regular punch, using markers on stamps, and huffing.  The comment made to me after I sat with a first time gal was, “Wow I really can stamp!”

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
