Had to share...I've been having so much fun making these flowers! I'm making a bunch of these for custom orders and a few boutiques coming up.

Women in Ink Team Meeting


We made  these four items for our make and take at the team meeting last Saturday. It was so much fun! I took lots of pictures, so I'll be posting it in the next few days.

We'll be making some of these items at my Stamp Camp in March! There's still two spots left, let me know if you want to come.

Til next time, happy stamping!

Made to Order

I custom made these flower clips for a special order. She chose the colors and I just did my magic, haha. I just LOVE making these! The final product is just amazing in itself.

You can special order from me or make them yourself with the Big Shot machine and the Flower Folds Bigz XLdie. Let me know if you have any questions.
Happy Stamping!

Ready for the Card Swap!


I'm so looking forward to our Women in Ink Team meeting this Saturday! I don't normally get a chance to prepare 31 cards for the swap, but I was able to this time. I might even get a door prize ready too, since I'm on a roll!
If you want to join the fun, let me know. It's this Saturday, February 19th from 9:30-1:30. You'll get to make 3 make and takes, see demonstrations and lots and lots of samples! It's $20/person and it includes lunch. You are welcome to carpool with me.
I used the Hostess Level 2 set, Something to Celebrate, from the new Occasions Mini Catalog and the Sale-a-bration stamp set, Punch Bunch. Love these sets! Colors used are Very Vanilla, Bravo Burgandy and Pumpkin Pie. I used the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder for the vanilla rectangle strip.
You can download any of our catalogs at any time.
Hope to stamp with you soon!

Valentine's Gift

I asked my son what he'd like to give as a Valentine gift to his classmates, he said, "Bubbles, I think they would love it!" We got the bubbles and I thought I was off the hook from being "creative" this year...but, my son's teacher mentioned that they can't give out any candy or liquid items. Awwww, why did she have to say that??? So we went to return the bubbles and got pencils instead.

Here's what I've been wanting to make since last year, but just kept putting it off because I thought it would take long to put together. It took me about two and a half hours total, not as bad as I thought it would be. I was inspired by Janet Wakeland for this project. Here's her blog with the directions. I found it easier to use the Crop-A-Dile instead of the whole puncher, especially if you're making a lot of them! Everything else, I followed to the Janet's directions. I made one for the teacher and got her a cute little solar flower that dances with solar light. I put her gift in a tote bag I made awhile back.


First, I scored a 12x12 paper, cut and folded them. Then, I cut all the pieces to make the bug's head. Here's a visual of my process:






Don't forget, Sale-A-Bration is still on til March 31, so happy shopping!

Happy Valentine's Day!
