These are two of the four projects we did at stamp club this past Friday night. The club members seemed to enjoy the projects. The little purse is actually a template from the Stampin' Up demonstrator website.

Papers: Basic Black, Pretty in Pink, Summer Sun, Always Artichoke

Stamps: Pocket Fun, Giving Thanks (Stampin' Up Sets)

I created this bag of course for my mother! I was playing with my sizzix. It was a lot of fun. I haven't used this die before. It is the pansy die cut. I used Stampin Up' cardstock. Brilliant Blue and Bashful Blue. The leaves are Mellow Moss. The Mother stamp is actually CTMH. I hope everyone has a very.....

Happy Mother's Day!!!!!!!!!!

This is my hostess gift for one of the girls in my Stamp Club. The paper is not SU. Which is a big no! no!. But, I did not have any fun printed SU paper at the time. The flower is an SU stamp set and the punched flowers coordinate. It is also SU. The circle punch is the Giga Scalloped punch by Marvy.

I got this cute image from an image swap. I was thrilled when I discoverd this image in the mix. I think it is from Inky Antics. Cardstock of course SU. The paper border at the bottom is Paper Frills by Doodlebug! The paper frills are so much fun to use. I did use my xyron to put an even coat of adhesive on the back. In fact I ran more than one border through the xyron to have them on hand and ready to go for the future.

WOO HOO!!!! I finally received all of my goodies from Eclectic Paperie and Papertreyink. I aslo have a stamp set I got from Walmart for $4.00.

How could I resist!. Okay...now I need to figure out when I can play with all of this.

Here is a long over due post! I have been sooo busy with kids and life. I have had zero time for fun things. This card is actually cheating. I made this one some time ago. My blog is so boring without new posts. So here is my latest Bella card mixed with Stampin Up. I used SU paper and an SU Hostess Set Riveting. I gave this card to a friend of mine.

Hey Cupcake!!! Is this cupcake stamp adorable or what?? Yes, it is an A Muse stamp. The paper is Stampin Up and the ribbon ..hmmm I can't remember. All I know is I got it at Michaels.

This card is nothing fancy. I was just playing

around.

This is the cake my friend Angela brought to my Stamping Party. It turned out pretty cute. It tasted good too. Of course Stampingbella is on the cake. You can buy stamps at Stampingbella.com. Thanks Ang!!!

I realize it has been a while since I have posted any pictures.
I have been so busy the past two weeks. I haven't had much
time to create new goodies. I have had time to "shop" for stamping
goodies. {Yikes} I just put in an order with Eclectic Paperie and
with Papertreyink. I can't wait for all of my goodies to arrive.
I will be standing by the door all next week. I am sure no one else
can relate, right??? (LOL) Well, I must sign off for now.
Homeschool is still is in session and the children are waiting
on me.... I am sooo glad it is Friday!! I am ready for the weekend!!

I created this tin for my daughter. She is ten and has caught the passion for stamping. Inside I put cards, envelopes, and a file system. She loves it! She puts a few of her favorite supplies in there and totes it around and creates her little cards and things. After giving three tins away to friends it was time to breakdown and make her one. LoL :)

I created this tin using Doodlebug. paper which is one of my favorite scrapbook companies. The gelly embellishment and the sticker letters are also Doodlebug. This is actually a kit called Loopy Love!

Just created this for one of my Stampin Up' Hostesses. I just can't come up with anything fun to put inside. The only thing I can think of is candy! Any other ideas or suggestions??

Stamps: Polka Dots & Paisley Stampin Up'

Flower Punch: Stampin' Up

Printed Paper: Stampin' Up

Lookie Lookie!!! This adorable bag and card are from my Secret Sister!! I was super surprised to see all of the goodies. In the bunny bag I got my favorite candy peeps, kisses, and other chocolate. Anything chocolate is always my fav. Thank you Thank you! I love it!! This has just made my day!!

Okay...This is my second Bella today! I am thinking about having a scrapbook sleepover in the future and this card came to mind for the invitation. I used Pajama Bella and took off the teddy bear. Then I added the bag from the Stamping Bella. The printed paper is doodlebug, the punched flower is Stampin Up, the sentiment is the CK font.

My latest Bella card!! It is going the mail today for a friend. I recently got some adorable Bellas in the mail. I haven't had a chance to stamp one image until today! I may get a chance to make a few more. We'll see. Anyway, I have the day off today soooo.... I am getting a little stamping done. Hopefully, I can knock some projects off my list. That is all for now. I must run and get to work. My sweet lil' toddler will be up from her nap before I know it. {smile}

This is my first card from A Muse Artstamps. I bought this cute little chef at ACMOORE. I plan to make a few more very soon. Keep checking back!! Last night I had time to squeeze in one card before I watched LOST with my hubby.

This is what happens when you talk on the phone and let your toddler run free in your stamp room. You will notice this stamp pad is not made by Stampin Up'.

Their pads are toddler proof. This is my 10 year old daughters' stamp pad. My youngest found her way in and then decided to decorate her face. I took cuter pictures but unfortunately they were blurry. The day and life of a stamping mom.

Just thought I would show a pic. of my ACMoore shopping trip. I bought my very first A Muse Artstamps! YAY!!! I can't wait to play. They were 25% off too. I need to go back soon and get a few more!! Also, I bought the Crop A Dile!! I will write soon and give all the details as to how I like it or not. The acrylic stamps are actually Provo craft and I bought those on ebay. I really wanted a BBQ/Summer set. The little bottles are Queen & Co. brads very cute colors.
I spent too much for all of this. BUT IT WAS FUN!!!!

I would like to say that I am really enjoying blogging. I wish I was a little more saavy with it. I am afriad that I am not very good. I make boo boos all of the time and then spend hours trying to figure out what I did wrong. This past Friday I had a stamp club night and we did the diorama cards. The girls all had a lot of fun making them. Here are a few samples I had for the girls to look at to get an idea of what they can do with this type of card. I used animals as my theme. These Stampin Up sets are called my fun sets.
