Colour Challenge from Stampin Fun & Friends



I made this card for a double challenge over at Stampin Fun and Friends.http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif This is a gate fold card, and I love the texture on this card. Stampin Up has come out with a bunch of new embossing folders, the stripes, as well as the frame around the sentiment. The colour challenge was to use cajun craze, night of navy and more mustard. The dsp is from the Perfect Paisley pack...love it!

There is still time to sign up for the Stampin' fun and friends. Head on over to Cheryl's blog and get in on the action. This is day 3, and all 15 days will be available for some time after this round is over....you won't be disappointed.

Stampin fun and friends post


This project was totally inspired by today's post on Stampin Fun and friends blog. Tracey Old is today's guest designer and she put together a fun box full of girlie stuff for a birthday gal. The box is actually made with the fancy favour die for the big shot. Tracey's directions include all the measurements and directions to turn the favour into a great gift box.

The fun little 3x3 cards are stamped with my newest stampset, Button Buddies. This set was free for me, as I earned it during Salebration!.

Enjoy your day. Remember, if you would like the full directions on how to make this set, sign up today for Stampin' Fun and Friends.

The winner is...better late than never!


What a lovely morning...no humidity and I am on vacation! First of all I have to apologize (seems I do that alot on here!) The winner of the free guest pass to Stampin Fun and Friends is Sandy Andersen! You can thank Doug, he picked the winning ticket!

The projects have started to post and I will be showing somethings I made using the tutorials that are available over the next 15 days.

Enjoy your day...and be sure to check out the information on Stampin Fun and Friends HERE!

Big shot makes it so easy


to throw together a quick and elegant card. I punched out the flowers,http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif then ran them through the Big Shot with an embossing folder. Add a fun little brad, some ribbon and designer paper and there you go...a fantastic, quick to put together card.

Happy Canada Day...and a give away!


Ok, who else is in love with Will and Kate? They just seem so likable and so much in love...as someone in the crowd said "great role models!"

This is shaping up to be a fantastic weekend! I am heading out to Pearce Williams Christian Centre to do a craft with the kids this morning. Once that is done we are headed to our "little tin can" by the lake!

Now I know I have lots of visitors each day...I thank you! Sometimes I get gentle reminders that I have been lax in posting...I like that!

So....I need you to comment...AND I have a great gift for you. It actually started as a gift to me, as I have been asked to be a GUEST DESIGNER. I am thrilled that Cheryl has asked me to come up with some original designs for the next go round of "Stampin Fun and Friends".

Leave me a comment...anything...and you will be entered into a draw for a free guest pass! This is open to anyone...so come on...leave a comment and you may win a free pass to a great design site full of original designs and ideas. My creations will be incorporating the Stampin UP! fabric, along with some traditional paper crafting.

Have a wonderful celebration today to my Canadian Friends, and Happy 4th of July to those south of the border! Safe travels and happy crafting!
