Baby Banner

Here is a banner I made for my newest grandson! If you click on the picture, it should come up a little bigger so that you can see the detail. I used the new Stampin' Up Big Shot pennant die for both the triangle shapes as well as the doily shapes. It took me a while to die cut everything and assemble it, but it was definitely a labor of love! :-)

Birthday card for a friend

This is a birthday card that I made for a friend who has a birthday next week. I used a new embossing folder and adding some sparkles to the butterflies. It is hard to capture the sparkle in a photo, but it is very pretty and I hope she will like it.

Another verson of Stamp 'n chat card

On Friday I went to the Scrapbook Expo at the Santa Clara County Convention Center. My favorite booths are the ones with dies and embossing folders. So, of course, I couldn't resist a few new ones. I had some materials left from the stamp 'n chat, so I decided to use some of my new things to make another card. The embossing folder is a Sizzix embossing folder, and the scalloped oval on the front of the card is from the new nesting thin dies from Sizzix as well. I have a few other items that I purchased and I am having fun creating some new cards. I am planning some for the Macdonald Center, so I can give them to my daughter when I see her next.

New Punch Sneak Peek

The above card uses a new punch that will be available starting Sept. 1st! This stocking punch is so cute! It has 4 parts that punch so that you can add the contrast for the toe, heel, and upper band. There is also a stamp set to match! Holiday cards and tags this year are going to be so much fun!!

Card From Stampin' Up!

I received this hand-made card from Stampin' Up on Thursday with a hand-written note inside thanking me for all of my work with the Ronald McDonald House. It was signed by three people, including Shelli! I was surprised and pleased. I intend to share it with my fellow demonstrators who help at the Ronald McDonald House at Stanford.
