We made this at a party, too. I love the idea!

Sorry, I don't have a first page close-up at the moment. This was a pretty cool idea, though!

Easter projects

Here are some Easter projects and cards that we made at our last Stampin' Up party.

This is a little Easter basket that was actually die-cut at a local stamping store. The patterned paper is SU! We could have dry embossed it or stamped on it, but I love the paper pattern so much, I didn't want to do anything else to it!
Here it is from the side
Here it is opened.An Easter card. We used SU! Certainly Celery and So Saffron cardstock, So Saffron ribbon, SU! slit punch, Marvy scalloped circle punch, Colozzule circle cutting templates, Iridescent Ice embossing powder, and different colored SU! markers and SU! stamps. We used several different sets, so I can't tell you where they all came from.
Opened one fold
Opened two folds
Here's an Easter scrapbooking page we made. Again, the letters and numbers were die cut, the Ovals were cut with Colozzule, and the stamps and paper are all SU! Colors are Certainly Celery and Tempting Turquoise, and we colored them with SU! markers. I just LOVE the little chick stamp!
Here's another Easter card I made. Background stamps are Baroque Motifs and Watercolor Minis; focal images are Simply Spring; sentiment is Fancy Flexible Phrases. Colors are So Saffron, Always Artichoke, and Almost Amethyst. Gold Glitter is from a scrapbooking kit that I got from a friend. Eyelets are Spare Parts, and Silver Tag is from Walmart.

Happy Easter, Everyone!

Sneak Peek

Here's a sneak peak of the calendar pages I've been working on for the past 2 weeks (not continuously!) If you click on the pictures, you can see them bigger in more detail.

January - Chromy calendar

All of the Chromy calendar pages in order from Jan - Dec.

January - Mitchell Calendar (very similar to the Chromy page, but not exactly the same)

Mitchell calendar pages from Jan-Dec. Again, very similar to the Chromy pages, but not exactly. I did a little more switching around.

Now all I have to do is find stamps to match, get the pictures I need from family members, print off the pictures, print off the actual calendar pages, assemble the calendars, get copies made... :-) Hopefully I can get them done before March this year! :-)

WELCOME!

Hello! Welcome to my more creative site. :-) I am planning to post all of my stamps, scraps, stitches-n-stuff on this site, just to keep it a little more streamlined for myself, and also for anyone who wants to only look at these types of things (rather than wading through all of my lengthy stories, etc.) So - without further ado... let me introduce you to my cards (stamps), calendar and scrapbook pages (scraps), cross-stitches (stitches),-n-stuff... unique gifts that I have made, crafts that I have done, decor ideas from my house, and any other "stuff" that I feel falls into the "creative" category. Now, let me slide in a little disclaimer here. I do not claim to have any special talent or creative genius that elevates me above average, but I love what I do, and usually am pretty pleased with the results. It may not be extravagant, elegant, or gorgeous, but it's mine and I like it! I hope you will enjoy it as well. :-)
