Happy Birthday WMS

One of my all time favorite stamp companies is turning two on the 21st of May and Claire is having a party! We are having a tea party and I am bringing a cake slice.
Now I had planned on making a full cake and I do have all the pieces cut and scored...but I just ran out of time. This cake template is just too cute and very easy to assemble.
I will be going out of town for a long weekend and will be back late Tuesday afternoon. I promise to take better pics and post the details on what products I used. But in the mean time please stop by WMS and see what everyone has made for Claire's birthday tea party.

Thanks for stopping by!

CASEing Sandie

Claire over at Waltzingmouse Stamps challenged us to CASE a card/project from her three days of Spellbinders fun.
I picked Sandie to CASE. Here is Sandie's card which I just love. And I really hope Sandie doesn't mind that I posted her card here.

Now I really, really stretched this CASE but the basic design is definitely there.
This is my version:


This cute little tea bag baggie is a freebie download that Claire so generously shares.

Christmas Card 2010

This is this years Christmas card that was sent out to family and friends.


The tree is from a very special set from WMS called Nutcracker Sweet. I silver embossed the image to a Spellbinders Label Die and adhered to the base card with popdots. I ran 3/4 of the base card through my snowflake embossing folder then added two score lines with my scorpal. The Merry Christmas sentiment is also from WMS.
A very simple but elegant Christmas card.

Enjoy!

I'm still here!

I'm still around in Blog land but just haven't been stamping/posting lately.
I've been busy this past month making items for a few crafts shows. These M&M sticks seem to be the latest crafty item and they do sell quite well.

I just bought some 1x8 inch bags (ultra clear lip tape) at www.gtbags.com added holiday M&M's and just added a circular topper. Now how simple and cute is that?
The nutcracker stamp is from www.waltzingmousestamps.com

Enjoy!

WaltzingMouse Stamps Blog Hop

Wow...can't believe I actually finished this card! This is my very first blog hop for WM...actually my one and only blog hop for any stamp company. *grin*
Claire was so kind to post a download of WM images for those of us who haven't ordered her stamps as of yet. Thank you, Claire!
I did purchase her Celtic Lunettes patterned digi paper and I love the ease of ordering and printing.


I decided to color the shamrock image with my SU! watercolor crayons...love these! The Irish hankie that the shamrocks are wrapped was colored in a light cream to kinda replicate Irish linen. Not sure how well it shows. I chalked the edge of the oval that was cut/embossed with my Cuttlebug for just a bit of dimension.
The Irish Blessings was printed on vellum and added to the card with two gold brads. The green ribbon is PTI.
I'm quite please with how this card turned out.

Thanks for stopping by!

Family St. Patrick's Day Cards

Well the big green day is just about here and I can't wait. I'll be making an Irish Soda Bread tonight so I can have some tomorrow for breakfast. Yum!
I have brought out my Belleek and bought my shamrock plant. Can you say I'm a wee bit Irish? LOL
I'll also be watching QVC tomorrow and drool at all the Irish items and if I'm careful I will probably do a wee bit of shopping. *grin*
I have found another great stamp site...yeah! Waltzingmouse Stamps and it is in Ireland...now how great is that? Claire not only has some awesome stamps but she also has digi papers. I used Celtic Lunettes digi papers for my card...love the authentic Irish look.

The stamp set is fairly new from PTI Luck of the Irish...ribbon is also PTI. Gorgeous yes?

Now Claire over at WM is having a blog hop tomorrow and if I can get my act together (and butt in gear) I will be posting another St. Patrick's Day card tomorrow.

I'd like to wish everyone a very happy St. Patrick's Day! We are all a wee bit Irish on St. Patty's day you know. *grin*
