Happy New Year!!!!!!!!

Well ring in the New Year with a healthy life. A healthy life of stampin', scrappin, craftin' and family. Remember as we go into this new year we all have room to improve, not only in our creative stampin lives, but also in our lives with our family and friends. I know some of us out there are super moms and can do it all without breaking a sweat...I am not one of them...hahaha...but some of us need to work on it a little more. Our families are the one thing we should devote our whole self into...beside the Lord of course...there are no short cuts, no I will do it tomorrow...we never know if there will be a tomorrow. Love them so much it makes you wanna cry, laugh with them so much your sides ache and live a life that puts God first and your family a really really close second hahah. You only have one life so live it to the fullest and give yourself to those around you whole heartedly. I wish you all the most wonderful and blissful year. May the Lord bless you all with love and compassion, life and spirit and of course energy to keep up with the family. Happy New Year and God Bless

Friendship

So I was playing this evening and wow...did not expect to actually end up with anything that I loved this much. I used Artfully Asian and a few other stamp sets to creat this pair. I used the layering technique with a brayer to get the sunset effect....if you have any questions abouit how I did this I will be postin tomorrow details...tonight I am just too tired...I gots to get to bed....Take care Night

Gift Bag Sets

This is one of my most favorite gift bag sets that I had ever made. It was for a firned at work...her friend of over 30 years was turning 48 and she wanted to do something original for her. She had seen my cards and asked if I could do something and I came up with this set. It is elegant and fun. You can add a bag or jar of candy for a little more to add to the bag. But this is a quick and simple gift idea for anyone. Your only limited by your imagination...and with all there is out there on the web...not even that anymore hahha. Have fun...and if you want me to make you a set just e-mail me and I will let you know you can get a set of your own.

Snowflakes

Bring the season to life...with snowflakes. I had fun making this card. I embossed only the big slowflakes to make them come alive. And the sentiment to help it pop off the page. It was a quick and easy card...fun...

Priceless

Anyone who has the Priceless set...knows just how priceless it is..and diverse. I did this card front for a swap with my upline. It is simple but elegant. I stamped the butterflies on the while cardstock, then stamped some separate ones and cut them out. When you see the card in person it looks like the butterflies are going fly right off the card. Fun and creative way to bring your card to life.

Candles.....when i learned to do the candle technique I went crazy. This is such a great gift and a wonderful way to personalize something special. This was one of my first candles sets and I have made so many since this one. I sell them in sets with a card, the two candles, a jar of candies and the bag. Everyone is in love with this idea for gifts cause it is one of a kind and originial. Makes people feel very special. And a card that corresponds with the candles is a great way to make it a finished set. Now as most stampers know this is a quick process.

1. Stamp your desired design on a piece of tissue paper.

2. Cut out around the design and place on the desired location on the candle.

3. Take the glossy side of wax paper and wrap it around the candle...holding it snuggly against the candle. Make sure there are no creases.

4. Now take your heat tool and slowly and evenly heat up the surface, just until you see it sweating a little. You will understand this when you attempt this technique.

5. When you have gotten the entire image heated remove the wax paper carefully. And Voila...you have a one of a kind candle. Have Fun

Who does not love this set...the French Scrpit the Heartfelt Thanks...and the tried and true combo of purples and greens.
