I am getting ready to head to Durham, NC for a scrapbook getaway. Here are the goodie bags I made for everyone. I had all of the supplies for the bags. I didn't buy anything. Inside I have a sticky notes with sticky bookmarks, RSVP matching pen, pack of tissues, breath mints, a SU stamp, and a pack of ribbon. The Bella tag is to attach to their scrapbook bag. I used Jammybella and Stamping Bella to create the tags. This idea was inspired by Michelle Wooderson. She has some wonderful ideas.

Here are two other cards I made also using Copics. I may put a tutorial here on my blog for those interested in seeing how easy they are to use. These two stamps I have in these pictures are from Lockhart Stamp Co. I love their charming little designs that they offer. I purchased these stamps from Ellen Hutson. I love her Store. All day today she is offering 10% off. Woo Hoo!

Yesterday, my dh had to go to Statesville, NC to pick up an item he had purchased on Ebay. So I
decided to tag along and stop at stamp store in Mooresville only a few minutes away. I went to Stamper's Alley. It was a very cute store packed with stamps and other goodies. My daughter and
I had a lot of fun browsing and oohing and ahhing at everything. In the store they had the cutest boards with the most adorable cards on them. I have seen some of these boards before. The stamp company is called Great Impressions. They have the prettiest boards with the cutest stamps.
Here is a kitty they had on one of the idea boards.
I am not a cat lover, but I like cat stamps. Go figure!
So here is a card I created using MFT and my Copics.
I love them by the way. I need more. I will add to
my collection a little at a time. Very expensive little
markers.

Here are some super simple Mother's Day cards using a PaperTrey Ink stamp set. This is a zero layer card. All I did was stamp the flowers and the Mother's Day saying. The card already had the pink border around it. My mom bought the cards for me at CVS a couple of years ago on clearance. Pixie Pink Ink from Stampin Up matched perfectly. The cards only took me like 20 minutes to make. WOW!! that is fast for me!!

The Latest and the Greatest..

****Changito****

I love him! He is so adorable grilling some burgers. I am a Changito addict! What am I saying.. I am addicted to all stamps. I think I need therapy.

Here is my May Homepage entry for A Muse Addicts. The tree was inspired by Kittie at SCS.
She does some beautiful work. I used the Stampin' Up Set Watercolor Mini & Elzybells. I sketched the tree trunk. I am ready for the summer!

My friend's Birthday was today! Happy Birthday Kellie! This is a little pack of cards I made her using Amuse's adorable cupcake stamp. The large cupcake stamp on the card is from Hero Arts. Paper is all DCWAV (Die Cuts With a View) This was fun to make!! Of course I LOVE cupcakes!!
He He!

I created this card for my friend Pam!! She and I stamp cards once a week and swap. We have a lot of fun getting cards in the mail. I created this card with My Favorite Things stamp set. I used Stampin Up cardstock, large brads, glitter glaze in the pond and Liquid Pearls for raindrops.

I just got this Thomas Kinkade Rubber Stamp today and I just had to stamp a couple of cards.
I did not color them in. I will attack that at another time. But I just love this stamp with the
flowers and the cottage. This is a simply Beautiful stamps.
I got this stamp at http://www.cornishheritagefarms.com/intro.php . They have some nice stamp sets there. I will probably be back to buy more TK stamps. You can even get free shipping if you spend $30.00. I love that too!

VSN FASHIONISTA was this past weekend. My daughter and I love participating In Splitcoast's Virtual Stamp Nights. The theme this time was fashion. We had so much fun with this theme. We only wish we had more time to submit more cards and such. My daughter Kayley 11 did the bottom three. She did them without much help from me. I am so impressed with her abilities. Most important we had fun working together on our projects and spending some "fun" time together.

Here are my daughter Kayley's cards for the VSN.

Here is my version of Crayon Resist!
I used the Stampin Up set "A Touch of
Nature" and the Sale-a-bration set.
I used Old Olive and Perftect Plum
Card Stock! I demo'd this at my stamp
club.

Here is the invitation I made for my "now" 3 year olds' Princess Birthday Party! Yes, I did a Princess Party! It was actually a lot of fun! I wasn't crazy about doing the Princess thing. Isn't that what all little girls are into right now? Well, I wanted to do something else. But my sweet little girl adores dressing up, make up, dolls, jewelry and the whole nine yards. She had a blast! So it was well worth it!! Anyway, back to stamping. I of course used the Ellzybells Princess Stamp, Your Invited was PaperTreyInk. The paper was Princess Paper from Target.

Since Taylor Vanbruggen always has cupcake Friday I thought I would join in the fun! Taylor got me hooked on cupcakes. lol So here is my cupcake card. I used paper from a large paper pack from Costco and the cupcakes are Hero Arts. This card was fun to make. Okay off to start my day. Happy Friday!!!

Here is a card made with the cute Hero Arts owl. I know owls seem to be a bit popular right now. And I must say some of the owl images that I have seen are just so cute. The Hello stamp is a Papertrey Ink stamp.

Here is a quick card I made with Pink and Brown again. I love those colors. I think I have used those a bit tooo much! The stamp set used was Stampin' Up's So Many Scallops. The printed paper is SU's Berry Bliss.

Does this look like a cute stamp? I wish... this was actually done with an embossing template. The template is by Lasting Impressions. The technique used is called Pasty Razzle Dazzle. I saw this technique on Splitcoast and thought ...I must give this a try. It is actually easy to do. Just a few steps involved. You also need Translucent Embossing Paste. Here is the link to this technique:
Pasty Razzle Dazzle

Here is my Snowbunnybella! She looks so cozy. I wanted to hurry and use this stamp before spring gets here. I used Wild Wasabi and Bashful Blue cardstock and Rob & Bob Studio printed paper. Of course I also used liquid applique for the trim of her coat and boots.

Just a Papertrey Ink Birthday card! I love Papertrey. They are my favorite! Next to all of my other favs. I used Close to Cocoa Paper and Pretty in Pink. If you purchase 12 PT sets within one year you will get one Anniversary set for free. Pretty good deal.

I stamped these for my stamp club gals! I wanted everyone to get excited about Sale-a-bration. I used two sets So Many Scallops and Birthday Whimsy.I think the club members like receiving their catty's this way. I may do this every time.
The clips were a nice touch.
