Its the thought (host set 2009-2010)
Whimsical words (Sale a brarion 2010)
Basic Black Stampin Up Paper
Bashful Blue Stampin Up Paper
Whisper White Srampin Up Paper

Update to craft room!

This one I'm really excited about. Do you all remember when I first posted pictures of my scraproom how I had the cork board and  dry erase board in front of my desk. Well I absolutely loved them, the problem was the only way to attach it to the was was with adhesive and for some reason that just didn't want to hold to my walls so it keep falling down. So this is what I came up with:


3 Jetmax magnetic boards. The middle one I pained with chalkboard paint so I can write project due dates etc on it.

Valentines Day Pins

I made these last month and sent them to my stampin up club members as a little holiday gift. I thought I had posted them on here but just realized I didn't so I figured I would now.


Supplies:
Love Bandit Stamp Set - Stampin Up
Staz on Black ink
Bic Markers
Domino's
Clear coat spray
fine glitter
pin backs.

For detailed directions on how to make these please see the post I did on the Christmas one's I made.

With all that's been going on between my job and home life I have not had a chance to post it until tonight, but things are starting to slow and I've wanted to get this up!

I find it kind of funny that the night Karen was awarded this award was the night the Patriots where knocked out of the running for the Superbowl, and tonight as I post I sit here watching 2 other teams play in the Superbowl, wishing Karen and I were cheering for our Favorite team the New England Patriots. Oh well there's always next yr right? And hey, Brady did get MVP!

1. I miss living in the country
2. I was a gymnast when I was younger
3. My favorite candy is Reese peanut butter cups so yummy.
4. My dogs are completely spoiled
5. I have 2 dogs, 2 lizards, a bunny and now a bunch of fish.

This has taken me longer then I hoped to get posted this was one of my November Stampin Up Kits, its taken me a little while to figure out how to post a video but now I know what I'm doing so stay tuned for more! :)  

Have I mentioned lately how much I love this cute little owl stamp? I've been wanting to try him on a spinning card and I just love how this came out. I also made my 1st video, so please be kind while watching it. I don't have an actual video camera and had some difficulties with my camera.




Supplies:

Stampin Up Paper:
Bashful Blue
Marina Mist
Whisper white
Pink Pirouette
Early espresso paper
Basic Black Paper
Peach Parfait
Island Oasis

Ink:
Marina Mist
Basic Black
White Gel Pen

Punches:

Stamp:
Sweet Scoops (the cone makes a cute party hat)

I used a zig pen to adhere the owl to the pennies. Then I just popped the pennies in the slot. You need to use pop dots to mount the top piece of paper to the card.
