Good evening....looking for me? Sorry, I've been a little busy! Had 2 of the precious granddaughters today...so it's pretty hard to watch them and do any fun stuff on the computer! My fun stuff has to consist of watching the youngest granddaughter learn to walk without holding on to my finger!!! She's doing it, slowly, but she's doing it!

So, what's this you ask? This is a CD cube picture holder! It's made with 4 regular size cd holders, not the slim jewel ones. The credit goes to these two ladies...http://www.staceystamps.com/stacey_stamps/2008/09/tutorial-for-cd-photo-cube.html and http://paperjewels.blogspot.com/2008/06/cd-photo-cube-tutorial.html.

You can do almost anything with this fun piece....decorate it for any holiday, fill it goodies and give it as a gift. Or find those odd pictures, scrapbook them and put them in it! Use it as a pencil holder on your desk!!! You'll have so much fun making this, you won't believe it! It's really easy! Took me less than an hour!!!! (Yes, one gd was napping and the other was outside playing with grampa....I wasn't ignoring them! :0) )

Have fun!

World Card Making Day!

This was an awesome day at my house! My mother and my friend Pam were the only 2 to attend, but we can have so much fun and laughter with just the 3 of us, that we consider everyone else that couldn't attend.....to have totally missed out!!!!!! (Patti......noninonibooboo!!!) heheehheehe!


No, she is not doing what you think....that's her bone folder! SHEESH MOM!



Sorry, had to be a child for a second!


And oh...just had another little bit of jealousy to the pot....i made fried zucchini....and you will notice there is a purple colander and a little crock on the table next to my mom....the colander had strawberries and bananas in it....in the crock? Melted chocolate!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah, I think my mom had more chocolate on her cards than ink! LOL!!!


So,here are the cards we made:



I loved making the little flowers using the scallop circle punch! And then showing the girls how to make the little leaves with the little oval punch and the running them through the crimper! It was a WOW factor for them!


Mom is attempting to punch little 1/16 holes into each scallop to make the scallop lace border. Why is she laughing? She can't punch a straight line to save her life! But, it was a beautiful card mommy!























And so...after 3 hours of laughter, chocolate fingers and lots and lots of fun....our party came to a close! I do hope to see more people at our next function, which is Stamp-a-Ssage at Pam's house! Stamping is free...massages are a $1/minute!!!!!

Just Caseing!



Yes, caseing...Copy and steal everything....I prefer the term inspired by....but that doesn't work in the term Case! hehehehe! Anyway.....I absolutely love, LOVE, LOVE these little spiders shared by Lisa Freeman on her blog...thanks Lisa! These are made with the scallop circle punch, 1/2" and 1/4" circle punch, and the photo corner punch, and peppermint patties! I made a bunch for favors for this weekends stamp-a-stack! How fun this is going to be!!



Next, I recreated this card:
I originally saw this from Andrea Walford. She used a different paper though for the pink pirouette and the stems and leaves. I couldn't find it, so just stamped all over pink pirouette and certainly celery cs with whisper white ink and used the Baroque Motifs stamp set. You will also notice a new button!! From the new Button Bouquet. The inside fits a half pearl from the pretties kit! Want to learn how to make this little beauty? Call and book a party! And I'd do it quick, my time is being booked up fast!
