This stamp set is so versatile, I made a card for every season and holiday. Since is snowed here yesterday just looking at this makes me long for spring in the truest sense of the word.

Stamped on confetti white on a background of regal rose, this beautiful card is a great way to tell that special friend just how much she means to you.

The leaves are stamped with an assortment of green inks and the flowers are stamped on an assortment of pink papers for contrast. Rhinestones complete the elegant look. Be sure to stamp the inside of your card and don't forget the envelopes. Hurry Spring!

First Official Stamp Camp-Spring Fling March 2011

March 16th was my first official stamp camp as an independent Stampin' Up Demonstrator. I have 7 registered participants (5 adults, 2 teens; one of which is a boy). We made 4 cards, which I'll post instructions for once I get the photos downloaded.

Stampin' Up

I've been blessed to receive a free Stampin' Up Demonstrator kit. I'll be receiving it soon and can't wait for training which will allow me to be a more effective hostess for our Caring Card ministry.

Frightfully fun Halloween Card

A stamped card using Halloween colors and ribbons. Fun to make and fun to receive!

Happy Hauntings

I have created a collection of "potion fixings" by spray painting a variety of jars and affixing labels using scrap booking materials. These were a big hit at a college age party and make a cute display when paired with fake brains (bought at the dollar store), bones and flocked spiders.

Witches toenails are candy corn,

Eye of Newt: bubblegum eyeballs

Ghost Guts-sour string candy

Let your imagination go wild!
