DSP Autumn Vine, Really Rust, More Mustard, Chocolate Chop cardstock

Snowman Soup

Snowman Soup is what inspired me to make this cute little guy! I decided to go a different route and use chicken noodle soup instead of cocoa. I changed the standard poem just a little bit. I stamped the images (masking and all) I'm still not sure if I like the final product or not. I may keep working on him.

Have a cup of cheer!

Here is the card I made for a Card Swap. I masked the images, colored and filled in with markers. Isn't it the cutest? I am going to post later how I also used the same design to make Snowman Soup bag toppers. Talk about cute. It was rather time consuming, but the Snowman soup is going to be stocking stuffers for my family so it was well worth it. I took all of my supplies with me to Missouri so I could work on them while we visited my MIL and family. Here is the recipe:
Stamp Set - Merry & Bright, All Holidays, Pun Fun Paper- Real Red, Old Olive, Chocolate Chip, Baja Breeze, DSP Ski Slope Ink- black Stazon, Baja Breeze Markers- Real Red, Old Olive, Close to Cocoa Tools/Accesories- Blender Pen, Dazzling Diamond, Signo White Gel Pen

John & Sally's Anniversary

I love the butterfly in this set. To be honest it is the only reason I got the set. I used the scallop border punch which I absolutely love and I gave the wings a little bling with Dazzling Diamonds. I gave this card to my SIL for her Wedding Anniversary. Here is the recipe:
Stamp Sets- Dreams du Jour Paper- Pink Piroette, Kiwi Kiss, DSP Pretty In Pink (retired), Whisper White cardstock Ink- Pink Pirouette, Basic Black Tools/Accessories- Square scallop, Scallop Border, Dazzling Diamonds, 2-Way Glue, Diminsionals, VersMark

Welcome to my Blog...

Hello Happy Stampers! I have been working on getting a blog up and running for quite some time now. Tonight during the tornado warnings I finished it up. I debated on what to save first if a tornado were to have touched down and I gotta say, I wondered how I would collect all my Stampin Up! supplies and keep them safe with me and the girls..oh and hubby. There is going to be so much information on my blog your head might just spin off..hehe.
I am wanting to get a few clubs together: a marker club, hostess club, stamp club and various other clubs I can come up with. If there is something that you would like to make or would like to host let me know and I will do my best to accommodate you. I was wanting to have a stamp club start up right now but it may have to wait until January when the next Catalog comes out.
