Paper Pumpkin

I have been enjoying my Paper Pumpkin that comes each month from Stampin' Up!

Everything you need is in the box...stamp set, ink cube, a acrylic block if you are new to Paper Pumpkin...and all the extras needed to create that months kit!

It is like Christmas each month...opening up that little box to see what goodies are inside. 

This month is a Nautical theme...so fun!

All these cute 3 x 3 cards came ready to stamp and assemble. 

There are extra parts and pieces that you can create more fun on your own.

The boxes came in the kit as well. 

5 cards fit in each box ...one of each design.

I just love the fun colors for the envelopes! 

I stamped a little nautical design on each one for extra pizazz!

Sea...no pun intended...how cute these boxes filled with cards are?!

The box is tied with rope and cute tags for the perfect finish!

These would make a lovely gift for anyone on your gift-giving list. 

If you want to join in on the fun each month, all you have to do is visit Stampin' Up's website and order yours today!

card class

We were busy at Sylvia's card class on Monday! 

Look at all the fun and pretty cards we made!

 Sylvia is so talented and she shares that talent with all of us!

Some fun treats we made on Monday. 

The floral paper bag is filled with a lipstick pen and dove chocolates!

Thanks for another fun card class, Sylvia! Can't wait til next month!

more birthday fun...

This was an easy and fun card to make.

Add a sentiment and a few gems and you have a fun card.

Happy Birthday!

There are lots of birthdays to celebrate in the month of April. 

That means lots of stamping to be done.
Here is a simple card that is perfect for a guy.

I made this one for my son-in-law for his birthday. 

This set is from amuse studio.

Happy Anniversary!

Made this anniversary card for my sister-in-law and brother-in-law. 

The stamp is from Stampin' Up...from their sale-a-bration catalog. 

It makes such a beautiful card and it is so easy.

The sentiment is an old wood block I had in my stash.

Happy Spring!

Last night my friend, Karen, and I went to craft night. 

We had so much fun painting our double-sided spring and summer decoration.

Thanks to Shirley Vantyle for creating this beautiful craft project.

Here is my Spring and Summer sides...just love it! 

We now have all four seasons to display all year round.

Do you remember the scarecrow and snowman that was double-sided?

Getting Crafty!

Our spring sampler.

It was another fun day for craft club. 

All set up and ready to go!

I stamped each place setting and each person got a little treat! 

There is always food at craft club...and today was quite the spread!

I used my cute little antique glass plates for our spring sampler day! 

It's all a theme right?!

Look at that spread!!!

 It was all so delicious!

Notice my beautiful channel plate with crackers...I made that at our outing at GoGo glass in Centerville! 

These talented ladies had no trouble getting their sampler stamped and put together.

The Spring Samplers are awesome! 

Great job ladies!

I typically don't get to see where people put their finished projects. 

It was so fun to get this picture from Regina (on the left) and Melissa (on the right)
They look so pretty!!

Easter treats!

It is so fun to make up Easter baskets.

I made this one for our nephew, Adam. 

I had fun filling it with candy and a gift card to Skyline...yum!

Here is a close up of the cute tag. 

I used the Martha Stewart grass punch and the amuse studio bunny and die. 

I added his name using Concord and 9th letter set.

The basket came from Joann's.

Spring Sampler

On Monday I enjoyed giving a class on making this cute spring sampler.

These ladies are a fun group to craft with. They are in the process of making all the season samplers.  Sandy hosted this months sampler class and we all enjoyed a delicious lunch and then it was time to get crafting!

They are hard at work getting crafty!

These ladies did a fantastic job on their samplers!

Some brought their frames to finish the look.

Great job! 

I will see you in June for our summer sampler!

Got Milk?

I made a funny...well at least I thought it was...card for my brother-in-law's birthday. His birthday fell on Easter Sunday...April 1st. Anyone who has a birthday on April Fool's Day has to have a sense of humor...right?!

I stamped the cow, sheep, and instead of a pig, I stamped a hippo...then the chick. I thought it was hilarious to put the hippo instead of the pig...my family and and the birthday boy didn't think it was as funny as I did :)

Happy birthday to the birthday boy!
