Amuse CHALLENGE 7 Card!! These colors are my fav. The frosting is glittery and the cherry is a heart brad. And the little doodles are my own design. Whooops!! I forgot to send it in to Amusepalooza. Father's Day kept me busy I guess.

Here are my swaps for the A muse ATC swaps that Taylor Vanbruggen is hosting. They were a lot of fun to do. Not to mention it was great receiving all of the swaps back. Fun!! Fun!!

Here are two cards created with Rubber Romance Stamps! They have some super cute girly stamps. I still have a wish list going. The paper used in my top card is Basic Gray. All cardstock is Stampin Up'. Speaking of Stampin Up. I placed my order for the new goodies in the preview catalog and they will be here Tuesday. I do not think I can wait! AHHH!

It has been a while since I put a Bella on my blog! I made this card for my very close friend Angela. Inside it I put some Bella images. She hasn't placed her Bella order yet. I used my FAVORITE paper from Doodlebug. I LOVE their products!! I know I have said this before. I also love Paisley. I just can't seem to get enough of it!!

Here is a selection of goodies I made for my Secret Sister. I used Rebecca Paper and Polka Dots and Paisley stamp set from Stampin Up. The coaster box is in the shape of a triangle to use a pen holder. The box was filled with Caramel Creamies ( that is what I call them) I followed the tutorial from SCS. It was very easy to make too!

One more Papertrey Inc. card. I bought this set a while ago and have not had too much time to play. I am thinking this summer will allow me a little time to stamp YAY!!! I have also found out that I stamp best first thing in the morning. Before the events of my day have worn me out.

Stamps: Papertrey Inc. "Green Thumb"

Paper: Stampin' up: Tempting Turquoise & Lavender Lace

Ink: Tempting Turquoise, Lavender Lace, & Pixie Pink

Okay, Here is my late Beate's weekend challenge card. Yes, it was due last night. Oh well, I had fun making it anyway!! I used the stamp set from Papertrey inc. It didn't turn out quite how I wanted it. I was a bit rushed. My hubby wanted to get in bed early tonight. We have been a couple of night owl's lately and it is now catching up to us. Goodnight for now....

My New Banner

Okay, I hit the Shabby Princess website to get yet another banner. I am a bit fickle. Who knows how long this banner will last. I came up with name "Paper Petals" from the banner itself. I hope this isn't someone elses' blog title. All of the good banner titles have been snatched up. I have tried very hard to come up with a cute blog title. Here are a few of my favorite titles:

Paperfections
Paper Truffles
Doodlebug
Stamp Paper Scissors
Paper Patch

Oh now I can't remember some of the other fun titles. Oh well, you get the gist. Hope you'll like my new banner. I dooooo!!!!!

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!!
