My son needed a gift card for his friend for her Quinceanera Party, so I came up with this fun stair step card and gift card holder. She was wearing the color purple and the boys were wearing silver and black. I used the big shot to emboss the silver cardstock to give it some texture and used some purple ribbon that I had laying around. I used the Simple Friendship stamp set. Enjoy!
I am finally getting back into the grove after the initial overpowering emotions of Dad's death and my husband going his own way. It has been a rough 6 months and I am slowly starting to feel human again. I have decided that someday I will find someone who is NOT afraid of commitment and will stand by me whether I am thin, heavy, sick or healthy. In the meantime, I have my friends and my family and I will enjoy each day with them. Thanks to all who have stood by me and tolerated my rantings and emotional tears!
I am beginning to stamp and design again. I will start out slowly and build back up to posting regularly. I do have few projects in my camera (have to find where the kiddo left it). So watch for those in the next few days.

I finally got around to trying the Block Collage Technique and chose to do it on my hubby's valentine card. I used a combination of the "Love you Much" stamp set and the "A Happy Heart" valentine stamps, basic black ink and real red ink. I used Whisper White Cardstock and Basic Black Cardstock.
My second card is for my *gasp* son and is more of a simple card. I did not want it to be girly, so I used Chocolate Chip and Red Riding Hood Red. :-} Boys are so difficult to do cards for especially teenagers, but he will enjoy what goes in it, so I guess he can live with a little bit of frill in the scallops. It is on a Whisper White card, so it is a little hard to see on this white page.
Hope you all have a Happy Valentine's Day!

I was playing around after making a card for dear friend who recently lost her father and came up with 2 other designs using the same colors. I really like this color scheme and am quickly falling in love with the 4x4 card size. I really enjoyed just playing around for a change....
Both cards use Stem Silhouettes, a simple but very versatile set. I used the Tangerine Tango (one of my favorite oranges - will be sad to see it go at the end of this catalog), Kiwi Kiss, Chocolate Chip (my all time favorite color) and Very Vanilla.
Thanks for looking...
This is a pretty amazing deal! I know that SU has a recruiting special periodically, but this time it is the FREE set and the KIT at a discount! If you ever needed a reason to go forth and sign up, now is the time!
I thought it was pretty cool to see what all is in the kit nowadays since we have added the Decor Elements Line to the Stampin' Up! family.
Let me know if you are interested in joining up. All the paperwork can be done online now, so it is really, really easy and takes only a few days to get your password to login to the Demonstrators site with all it's wonderful wealth of information and ideas!

I decided to have a little bit of fun and enter a contest to become a design team member for Card Patterns. Here is the original sketch and my take on it displays just after. It is not an exact duplicate but simply a representation based on the sketch. There is a Ballet Blue tone-on-tone background on the top base piece but it is truly hard to see in the scan.

It was great to see some of you at the open house on Friday night. Perhaps more of you can join us next time! We had two wonderful make and takes. Here is one of them that is Valentine based, but not your traditional colors. This one uses the "A Happy Heart" set, Kraft Cardstock, Elegant Eggplant Cardstock and Barely Banana Cardstock. It also uses our Scallop Edge Punch and Elegant Eggplant grosgrain ribbon.
