411 Sketch

Friends of ours just had a beautiful baby boy. I took this opportunity to use the sketch challenge from the Stampin 411 blog http://stamping411.blogspot.com/ to make a card for them.

The picture quality is not the best (I am not the best with photographing) but I think you get the point *I hope*

Thanks for stopping by!!

Another Halloween Treat

These peppermint pattie "sandwiches" are everywhere on the internet. I think they are the perfect Halloween treat for a teacher, neighbor or friend, don't you think??

Lil Boo Pail

I just love Halloween, especially the treats you get. I made this little pail for a friend's daughter and put some mini playdough containers in it. The stamp set is from Stampin Up and it is called "Little Boo." I think he is soo cute and I just love the name of the stamp.

Frankie, Frannie and Mummy

So, these boxes are everywhere on the internet. I found some here http://gretchenbarron.typepad.com/my_weblog/2009/09/frankie-friends-are-back-as-a-classonthego-kit.html I made the Frankie one with my upline, Selene, at our scrapbooking class. I just love the way they turned out. I filled them with treats for my nieces and some good friend's children.

I changed Frannies eyes into hearts because she is in love with Frankie, can't you tell??

Thanksgiving

So, with Thanksgiving coming up soon, I wanted to make something cute for my table setting. I found these online http://inkingidaho.blogspot.com/2008/11/joyces-turkeys.html. I am going to attempt to make the boxes for my table setting but I did make a card using the turkey for my monthly team meeting that my upline, Selene Kempton, provides us with. You should check out her blog. She has some really great ideas! http://stampinfunwithselene.blogspot.com/

Stampin UP Regionals

So, yesterday was the Stampin Up Regional Conference that took place in Portland, Maine. It was my very first Regional conference and I really enjoyed it. It was really fun to see all of the excited demonstrators, the fantastic presentations and, the best part, I thought, was swapping our swaps that demonstrators made. Here is my swap.

Twas the Night Before Christmas . . . well, not really

So, I got this new stamp set called Wandering Words from Stampin UP and it has this really cute stamp with Santa and his reindeer flying in the air and I immediately thought that this would be really cute in a card. I kept picturing the scene from the poem Twas the Night Before Christmas "The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below."

I wanted to recreate that scene. So, this is what I came up with. Let me know what you think.

Thanks,

Karen
