Shape It

This is a spool card I made using the instructions from the Shape It CD! You can get this great CD with lots of shapes from Technique Junkies blogspot. CLICK HERE TO ORDER your CD today!

Crumb cake is the base of the spool stamped with Woodgrain Background Stamp (retiring). I used Lucky Limeade ruffled ribbon also retiring to wrap around the spool.  The scissors were cut from my Silhouette and I lined the envelope with Summer Smooches Designer Paper. Too cute!

Until next time!

Challenge 223 & Sneak Peek

Challenge 223

Teacher Appreciation Gifts

This week is all about thanking those amazing people who spend countless hours each day working with our children. We want to let them know how much we appreciate all their hard work. Believe me I taught a one week class for my work and OH, how much more I appreciated the teachers that do that every day!!!

I used this sneak peek at the new paper from Stampin' Up called Quatrefancy Specialty Designer Paper 130141 for one of the holders and Sunshine & Sprinkles 126922 Designer Paper for the other with Rose Red as the mats. You will be able to check it out soon in the new catalog - June 1 we can all order it! I used Strawberry Slush as the base and backdrop. One added feature you can put a picture in the back.

I used an acrylic sachet holder (recycled) as the base! Love that recycling!

Want to see what the design team came up with?  Check out their creations at the Late Night Stampers Challenge Blog.   

When you get your gift completed upload it to the blog so we can see what you gave to our child's teacher.

Hope you will play along with us so we can get some ideas for gifts!

Until next time!

Bottle Cap Art

I made these key chains and book mark using the Stampin' Up Bottle Caps. (Soda Pop Tops - 129388 - Pg. 24 in the current mini catalog) You get assorted large and small caps. The 1/2" punch fits the small ones perfectly and the 1 inch punch fits the larger cap.

And as you remember, you can run these thru your Big Shot and flatten them for a different look. After adding your embellishment, cover with Crystal Effects for that added touch.

Until next time!

Honeycomb Cards

These are two cards I quickly made using the Honeycomb Embossing Folder 129378 from Stampin Up. I cut the hexagons on one card by hand and on the other I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut a 3/4" hexagon and it worked great!

The Designer Paper is retired but I was just playing to see if it would work. Thanks for stopping by.

Until next time!

Challenge 222
Sorry to see you go?

At the end of this month we will get our new catalog for 2013 - 2014.  This year Stampin' Up made a color change to their color collections.  With the color change some of our favorite colors are retiring.  This week's challenge wants you to use your favorite colors that are retiring on your project.

Create a card, scrapbook page, 3D project, or anything else you can think of using your favorite colors you will miss when they are gone.

I have always loved More Mustard! It was such a great Fall color and I'm really gonna miss it.

Want to see what the design team created?  Check them out HERE

You can upload your creation HERE        

Can't wait to see what your favorite colors are.

Until next time!

Strawberry Fields

Jake, Stephanie & PawPaw went strawberry picking Monday. It was such a beautiful day too. Jake loves strawberries but he's getting camera shy and just won't show that great smile! Guess it's the age.

Until next time!
