In addition, we will make 4 fantastic projects with this set! ALL OF THE PROCEEDS from the stamp sets for the camp, the raffle table and all orders placed the day of the camp, will be donated to the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life.

Hi Stampers!
The release of a new Stampin’ Up! Catalog is always an exciting time for stampers. This year, I’m thrilled to announce that we get the new catalog a month early!

Or you can be the first to see the new catalog when you book your June workshops now! Contact me!

SNEAK PREVIEW ALERT: This month, we have the chance to get our hands on some products early from the upcoming catalog with our Summer Smooches Collection. The sneak preview has a couple of exclusive coordinating products that will only be available during this April. Isn’t it time to spring into some vibrant colors?      

Get a look at all this great stuff!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I know I know, I'm a day late...but its better late than never, right?!

I don't have much Valentine decor, so I decided to create a wreath to hang up in my house. I used a simple piece of light-weight cardboard and traced two different sized dinner plates to create the base of the wreath.

I then punched out about 60 large hearts and 10 small hearts, adheared them with adhesive, and added a ribbon and bow to finished it off.  Simple, fun, and cute !:)

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Good Morning!
Today's card was made with my wonderful father in mind and the only thing he asked for this year was a handmade card and for the family to go out to dinner. And that's exactly what we did. He is celebrating his 59th birthday today, and of course this is the card I made for him -- and he loved it! Happy Birthday Daddy...we love you so very much! :)

I've had theDelicate Doilies stamp set for awhile and really haven't inked it up much so my goal was to create a masculine card with it. I also used the super new and cute Twitterpated DSP Stampin' Up! has in the Occasions Mini Catalog. Love it! This card was very simple and quick to make, too.
