Against the Grain

So. . . this is the first time, in a long time that I've done some thing that wasn't "my style" and truly loved the outcome. I also haven't done any ripping in a long time (actually I don't know that I've ever posted anything ripped on this blog. . . ).

The lamb (ewe) is from Pun Fun and the papers are from "Summer Picnic" (mini catalog) . . . which reminds me. I got news from SU! "headquarters" that the Occasions mini collection will not be ending on May 31st! The mini catalog will actually be available until June 30th. The sad news is we will have to wait until August to see our new catalogs! But, I'm sure it will be well worth the wait!

Also, don't forget a new project pack and new promotions are coming this Thursday! I can't wait to share all the new goodies with you all!

As always, thanks for looking!

More Thank You Cards

Here are some new Thank you cards that I made last night. I was so proud. I actually got about 11 cards done in a couple of hours. These were 11 different designs too. That's got to be a record for me. Here are my favorite two. . .


The background paper is the summer set from the current mini catalog.

Once again I had to use the Baroque background set. I love this pink on pink look and I think the green ribbon ads a nice touch.

Watch for the April Project Pack coming soon and remember you only have about a week left to order the March Project Pack if you are interested.

As always, thanks for looking!

Finding Creativity

I have had a hard time finding time to stamp this week much less getting motivated and finding my creativity. But, I needed a couple of cards for friends and after having the day off of work I decided to do some stamping. Here is the first card I made. . .

I was fairly pleased with the way this card turned out until I looked back a couple of posts and noticed that it is almost identical to a card I made last week. I love this Baroque background stamp and it gives such a classy look to the cards.

But I got to thinking. . . It's spring. . . . trees and flowers are beginning to bloom . . . I really should try to branch out into some spring-type colors. So, then I made this card.

It's definately not my "normal" style. But I think it's definately got the spring feeling, and it's cute! The stamp is from a set in the current Mini Catalog called Tart & Tangy. It's an adorable little set that just happens to be part of the upcoming April Project Pack.

As always, thanks for looking!

March Project Pack

It's time for the new Project Pack! Okay, actually I'm running a little late, but better late than never, right? Here is the information for the March Project Pack. If you have any questions, please let me know. Also, if you have any requests for upcoming Project Packs I would love to hear them!

Another February Mini Book

Well, I made it back from the crop retreat! Oh what fun! I've still got so much to learn. . . I couldn't keep up with all those ladies. They had stayed up past midnight on Friday night, got started before me on Saturday morning and cropped well past me into Saturday night. Thanks again to the Notorious Scrapaholics ladies. They put on an absolutely amazing event! I'll definately be going back next year!

So what did I whileI WAS there? Well I made bunches of things! But for the first couple of hours I made this ( I could have done it much faster but needless to say we did ALOT of chatting).

I used the on board basics small and the Simply Scrappin (tm) kit "Tie the Knot". If you are interested in doing something like this, check out the February Project Pack.



Here is one last picture. It is a detail of the end of the book to show how the papers look together. . . . this is probably my favorite picture of this book. . .

as always. . . thanks for looking! I'm off to work on my son's valentines.
