Are these little purse cute!!!! I found this great pin and tutorial in how to make these little purses. They WERE SO EASY and so cute. I need to fll them with candy and I am planning on taking them as a thank you gift for everyone who orders at the workshop I am doing.
It is another fun technique challenge over at The Technique Twist doing Triple Stamping.
I had a hard time finding a stamp that would be large enough for the triple stamping. I decided on a Retired Stamp to create a fun spring, Mother's Day like card using the big tree. I have always loved this tree because you can color it for either spring or fall depending on the season you want to convey.
My twist on it was to actually twist the paper when I stamped on the card. I than using my little ink dauber and inked the sides around the card.
I haven't participated in a few months on My Pumpkin Challenge but I have loved seeing the great projects they have created. I haven't felt totally inspired by the paper pumpkin that has come in. Honestly I was just going to make a graduation card like the kit and be done with it but than it hit me to do a coordinating page and card to give as a gift to a upcoming graduate. I need to find a fun frame for the page.
It is both a sad time for Stampin Up because well some beloved things are retiring but the good news is that new stuff is on its way here starting June 1 when the new catalog launches. Another good thing is free shipping from April 21- 25 which means you can get some of your beloved stuff retiring shipped for free. So if anyone orders and you don't already have a demonstrator, make sure to mark me down Rebecca Benson (I sure appreciate it).
Also Project Life Products can be ordered starting May 1 and that is a cool thing as well!

I pulled the Cricut out again and have been making things like crazy with it more because I REALLY want the new Explore that just came out so I am saving my funds for it.
I made this sign using a frame I had on hand and cut out using various cartridges to make the sign. I love how it turned out and it would be a great gift to give someone.

I love to blend my midwest style with a little southern. I am constantly trying new things with both success and failure.
