The November Paper Pumpkin kit was the ABSOLUTE BEST kit since I’ve joined Paper Pumpkin back in August!!! I loved this kit and made one of the cards exactly as featured on the packaging, it’s even cuter in real life than in the photo….but of course….I wanted to see what else could be done with the kit’s contents so I made several more projects! My favorite project was the cover for my iPhone! I love to change the design on my iPhone to match the holidays! I’ve had lots of people ask me where I got my fabulous iPhone Continue Reading →
This month at my stamp camps we made this fabulous card featuring the “By the Tide” collection from Stampin’ Up! One of my stampin’ friends, Angelique, was headed to dinner at Red Lobster afterwards to meet her husband. They were celebrating their 25th Wedding Anniversary that evening. She had wonderful presents for her husband but didn’t have a card, so she was really glad she came to the class. Writing this post is making my tastebuds crave lobster drenched in butter! The best lobster I ever had in my life was in a restaurant on the working waterfront of Gloucester, Continue Reading →
But, February made me shiver with every paper I’d deliver Bad news on the doorstep – I couldn’t take one more step I can’t remember if I cried when I read about his widowed bride Something touched me deep inside the day the music died So, bye bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry Them good ol’ boys were drinking whiskey and rye, singing… This’ll be the day that I die This’ll be the day that I die “American Pie” Lyrics – Don McLean I was twelve when this song came out Continue Reading →
Image (c) Stampin’ Up! Features Comfort Cafe Designer Series Paper cut with Postage Stamp punch. I can’t use my Stampin’ Up! Postage Stamp punch without humming to myself…. Please Mr. Postman “Please Mr. Postman look and see if there’s a letter, a letter for me. I’ve been standing’ here waitin’ Mr. Postman so-o-o patiently for just a card or just a letter….” I get so excited when I get a card or letter in the mail and I would be absolutely thrilled if it was a hand-made card from a friend!!! This card goes together pretty quickly when you Continue Reading →
©Stampin’Up!™1990-2012 I just love this silly little witch from Stampin’ Up!’s “Googly Ghouls” stamp set. We used her on this “Coffin” at our Halloween Themed stamp camp. It’s a pop-up box that holds Yummy Gummies Graveyard candy skeletons. Too funny! ©Stampin’Up!™1990-2012 Don’t you just love Halloween?!?!?! I get so tickled seeing the little kids in their costumes. It brings back so many great memories of Trick-or-Treating when I was a kid. Our town has a stupid rule about how old you can be to go out Trick-or-Treating, but the big “kids” know that I’m a softy and that I’ll give them candy, Continue Reading →
