Center step card

Not my usual Christmas colors, I saw this black and white pattern paper at my local scrapbook store and I had to buy it! I used my SU snowflakes die and as you can see,the snowflakes are very pretty. I used white glitter card stock for the snowflakes and had to punch out the little shapes in each snowflake. It took longer to do that than it took to make the card. I can safely say that this will not be my annual Christmas card! And now it is time to go back to getting things ready for Saturday's card classes. Have a wonderful day!

Fun Thanksgiving Card

A fellow Stampin' Up demonstrator had posted a "pumpkin pie" card and I thought it was so cute--I had to make a similar one. The Very Vanilla pie plate, a sponged Crumb Cake crust and Pumpkin Pie filling is only missing a little whipped topping! And the best thing about it--no calories--lol!! I went shopping today and there was so much Christmas stuff on the shelves that I realized that either I am behind schedule or the retailers are pushing for an early Christmas selling season. I will vote for the retailers as I still have not made my Thanksgiving menu much less purchase Christmas foods! So I will think about pumpkin pie while I work on the Thanksgiving menu and worry about Christmas later. Have a nice weekend and find yourself a little stampin' time.

Nursery Nest Scrap Pages

It's been a while since I posted scrapbook pages, but here is a two-page layout I created using the Nursery Nest DSP. I originally purchased this paper with a specific project in mind, but the paper wasn't quite right. Since babies aren't in our lives, I needed to create a layout that is more generic. And I was able to do just that! This layout can be used to scrap a variety of special occasions: Easter, Mother's Day or numerous other wonderful days you want to remember. Or like me, I will be using this layout to scrap photos of some of the feathered friends who enjoyed feasting and bathing in our back yard. Sometimes you just have to think out of the box to use the stamp and scrap supplies you purchase. Then you don't feel so guilty when you buy more!

Magnet Calendar

I purchased some rectangular coasters and mini calendars so that I would have them for a

future class. Even though I should be preparing for November 12th classes, I had to use these products to make a calendar for myself and here it is! For this calendar I used paper from the Cheerful Treat hostess DSP and the sentiment from the Flight of the Butterfly set was perfect. I will work on improving the calendar, but in the meantime, it's a pretty addition to my bulletin board.
