In the middle of chaos comes some peace. The Sheltering Tree stamp set definitely brings a calming effect on this card. I imagine that someone is having a picnic nearby. This was also one of the cards we made at May's Card Class. I was inspired to make this card while browsing through the Inspire Create & Share Annual Catalog. Check out page 16. I switched stamp sets but used the same template. See how easy it is to make it your own? </div>

Can't start summer without some WATERMELON! We've got a fun punch art card today. Look at those heart seeds! They were made with the Confetti Hearts Border Punch. I am including the Punch Art Template so you can make some slices for your card. </div>

Hello Everyone, or Anyone? It's been so long since my last post, that I may have lost my peeps! I was "thinking of you" and wanted to post a sweet card with that sentiment ! We made this card at June's classes. It is featuring the lovely Tip Top Taupe new In Color. It pairs so nicely with black and white! I added a pop of Daffodil Delight. </div>

Another Stamp Set to say good bye to- the Hostess Set Nuts About You. We all know someone who would love to know we are thinking of them and this cute card would brighten their day. I've made several featuring either the Hardwood Background Stamp or the Woodgrain Embossing Folder. I've also switched up the sequins to add another color of sparkle to the card. <br />

We are nearing the end of the 2014/15 Inspire Create & Share Catalog and will soon be sharing the new one! I will miss some of the retiring products, but love getting new stamps, papers, & tools to play with! <br />
<br />
Today we will feature the retiring DSP- Back to Black - I cut out the Pear to use as the main focal point on this card. Then I layered several strips of Washi Tape with the Fancy Foil Designer Vellum. Sprinkled the Gold Sequins for some sparkle.<br />

I have some fun ideas for a party centered on Dr. Seuss! I can't take credit for the all the ideas cuz the party was done last week by my daughter in law! Here is the fun day!<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The Lorax Sour Cream Treat Containers</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<br />
There were Thing 1 and Thing 2 and not just a few!<br />
I also saw Horton who hears a WHO!<br />
The Lorax arrived to "speak for the trees".<br />
There were treats galore "oh my, oh me!"<br />
<br />
<br />
The Cat in the Hat shared a lot about that,<br />
Then Sam I am brought green eggs & ham!<br />
<br />
<br />
Sally & Ted were at the window to greet,<br />
The buffet was filled with drinks & sweets.<br />
<br />
<br />
You could color or draw, paint or slide.<br />
Mold with play dough<br />
or take a pose and say HI!<br />
<br />
<br />
In the bathroom was one fish or two.<br />
I may have saw a red fish and a blue.<br />
<br />
<br />
At the end of the day was a bag of fun, <br />
and a hug good bye, enough said, well done!<br />
<br />

My daughter in law- Alyssa has a delightful spark for throwing a party for the kids. Her theme was Dr. Seuss. There were around 20 little ones and many parents stayed to enjoy the day (and a beer!). I didn't get permission to share all the kids pictures so I will stick to posting Addy & Harrison's.<br />

I was tickled to make the Lorax sour cream styled treat container with an orange tootsie pop inside and the green eggs and ham pretzel bites! Alyssa takes credit for the rest of the spread! Her artwork and the help of her sister in law with the photo booth area were amazing!<br />

I've been crocheting dish cloths. I only know basic crochet stitches, and review how to do them by watching youtube videos! I don't know how to read a pattern, so videos work for me! After collecting a small stash, I decide to share them, hence the gift tag to go with them! This one is quick and you can customize it to compliment any gift. Get your Stampin' Markers or Blender Pens to color in the tulips! Love is Kindness is a single stamp that is available only on a wood block in the Occasions Mini Catalog. </div>

Ready for Spring? These flowers are! The Flower Patch Stamp Set has Framelits that cut out the fussy cutting for you! BUT- I did fussy cut the center layers of the large Zennia flower. The background was added using the Striped Stencil and White Craft Ink. I applied it with a sponge dauber. </div>

Add some metal to your project or card! You probably have some metal buttons or brads or hodgepodge among your stash! How about using them and adding them to our challenge site?

A few years ago I posted a video to make Garden Stakes with butterflies. I think you can view that video and see how easy it is to make these flowers. I colored the Facetted Buttons and Metal Flowers with alcohol markers. Stampin' Up! does NOT carry them at this time, but you can improvise with your favorite brand or use a permanent marker. </div>

It's March and as the saying goes "In like a LION out like a Lamb", or visa versa. We are starting this month's <b><span style="font-size: x-large;">The Paper Plunge</span></b> challenge with a LION theme. As I am posting this, I am looking forward to the evening with Harrison & Addy & dinner with their family. I will be taking their Lion Party Favor Tootsie Pops for a snack after dinner. I used the stamp set You Brighten My Day from the Sale-a-Bration catalog. It's available with a minimum purchase - $50 US.</div>

We are featuring another Stamp Set from the Sale-a-Bration Catalog- A Happy Thing. I used the Blender Pens and the Reinkers to "loosly" color in the Lemon and Leaves. You can also use the Blender Pens to get a beautiful effect. I was going for a soft vintage look. Do you LOVE the new Ribbons used? They are from the Occasions Mini Catalog- White Jute & Sahara Sand Lace Trim. </div>

My inspiration from this card came from the Sale-a-Bration Catalog. I combined the look from both images on pages 18 & 19 and made it my own with a few other touches. Where do you get your inspiration from?</div>

We are scoring on paper for this week's inspiration at <a href="http://thepaperplunge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-large;">THE PAPER PLUNGE</span></a>. I used my Simply Scored and Stylus to make 4 score lines 1/4" apart on all 4 sides of the paper. It makes a beautiful framed background. Simple. Elegant.<br />
<br />
I stamped the Flower Medallion 4 times and then punched out one using the Flower Medallion Punch and cut out the different layers and offset them to add dimension.<br />

The Octopus is stamped with Stazon Black on the Vellum sheet. It dries quickly. I stamped the Starfish, Crab & Lobster on the back side of the Vellum to give them the under the water appearance. A few more under water creatures were stamped on Whisper White and then fussy cut to add to the front. </div>

This week I am joining <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://inkedx2.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Robbie</a></b></span> on her weekly color challenge & Blog Hop. I used the technique called Bokeh. I started with a background wash with an Aqua Painter and reinkers. Then I added various white circles using Whisper White Craft Ink. Here is the inspiration photo: <br />

Yes it's true! I've been thinking of you! December was a month of few blog posts! I am back from vacation, and just had my sis & family here for a few days. They are easy guests to have stay! We played with some of my past Paper Pumpkin kits and tried some new techniques that she had been wanting to do- I will share them with you another time! </div>
<br />
Today's post is getting back into the swing of things- literally & figuratively! I am happy to dip right into the next design challenge at <span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://thepaperplunge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">THE PAPER PLUNGE</a></span>. They post every Friday with new ideas and we would love for you to join us with your projects! This week's theme is USE A DIE CUT ELEMENT. I chose the Labels Collection Framelits. There are a total of 5 labels cut for this card. I used the 4 sizes from the smallest & next three larger.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Labels Collection Framelits Die" class="image-main" data-large="/images/EC/125598L.jpg" data-width="400" id="ctl00_MainContentContainer_imageViewer_imgMain" src="http://www.stampinup.com/images/EC/125598S.jpg" style="border-width: 0px; height: 200px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 200px;" /></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">125598 Labels Collection Framelits</td></tr>
</tbody></table>

It's a Trifold card and the two sides intertwine to make the closure. </div>

November's Paper Pumpkin was one of my favorites! The beautiful Snowflake Cards with tags were just gorgeous! But I saw some other potential ideas to make using the items from the box! Paper Pumpkin arrives once a month with an ongoing subscription. They include a variety of cards or projects - each is different every month. You'll need to have your own adhesive on hand to put your projects together, everything is in the box & the instructions too! Each month Stampin' Up! publishes a video on YouTube to watch the project being made.</div>

Our new challenge this week at <span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://thepaperplunge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">THE PAPER PLUNGE</a> </span>is "Focus People!" We are highlighting a sentiment/greeting. I have a winter wedding and will be giving this to the happy wedding couple! <br />
<br />
Here is the deets:<br />

<h3>
<span style="color: blue;">Ever hear the expression, "Actions speak louder than words"? Well, this week's challenge is to make the words speak louder than anything else. This week we would like to see what you can do by making the sentiment the main focus of your project. </span></h3>

There are many craft show ideas and here is one more with a video! These Snowmen are made with Bath & Body Works Hand Gels. What a cute idea for cold and flu season! I whipped out several in a short time. The video also shows how to make 5 bases using 1 sheet of 8 1/2" x 11".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Many of us are visual learners so I hope the video helps you to make your own! </div>

We made these 2015 desktop calendars in our November Classes. We used cards from Project Life by Stampin' Up! They turned out to be a hit with all the gals. The pattern is shown below for you to make one too!</div>

How about this QUICK, SIMPLE CLEAN card? My sons for the past few years have participated in NO SHAVE NOVEMBER and grew mustaches. I made them this card and added on the inside..... "I can't wait til December! Love, Mom". They are both handsome men (in my humble opinion as their mom) and the mustache's are just creepy to me. I have proof! just wait & see............</div>

For YEARS I have asked my family for photos and to have a family photo. My husband <strike>HATES </strike> no DETESTS pictures being taken of him. He does cooperate, but reluctantly! </div>

A few years ago, we took the whole family to Disney during our Anniversary Week. My husband and I stayed an extra day & my oldest son picked us up from the airport. When we got home, all the family was at our house. I thought that it was strange, seeing we just spent a week together. BUT after walking in and seeing WHAT they did for an Anniversary Gift, words can't describe it or our reaction! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Every picture in our house was switched out for NEW (<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">AWKWARD</span>) FAMILY PHOTOS. Have you seen those cards at Target? Well they had a photo shoot with their creepy mustaches, and ugly sweaters, and coordinating sweatsuits, and off-stylin' hair DON'TS! If there was a frame, there was a new photo. Over the fireplace, on the walls, in my office, on the bookcase.... EVERYWHERE! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
We will never, ever forget that day, it was totally awesome! Here are a few of the 100+ photos.</div>
