Hello! Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! As usual it's been quite a while since I've made it over here. I have been working on a few crafty things but I just haven't found the time to blog about them. I actually haven't worked on any cards in a long time until the other day. So I will share that with you today. I have lots of new items that I'm itching to use! The other things I have been working on are baby shower invitations for my sister-in-law. I am working on some decorations for her shower as well so I will have a post on the invites and decorations. I also don't think I ever shared the invitations and decorations I did for my daughter's first birthday. Which was so long away at this time now but it will still be fun to share the stuff I did.

So have you guys been creating with the new Occasions and SAB goodies? Tell me what you think of it. There are a lot of fun things in these catalogs!

I used the Hello set from SAB. Keep in mind this is a limited time only set and is only available until February 15th. So get this cutie now while you can!!

Some other fun items to note are the Wink of Stella glitter used on "hello" and the Pool Party glitter ribbon. Who doesn't love GLITTER ribbon!! A plus is that this ribbon is nice and soft so it makes tying bows so easy!

I hope this inspired you to get crafty with the Occasions and SAB goodies. Want to get these awesome products plus free stuff for hosting your own party?!?!? Contact me now to set up a workshop. This is the best time of year to have your own workshop!

Howl-o-Ween Skull!

Hello! It's been a long time since I posted a card. I have no idea what happened but the summer just flew on by! In the blink of an eye it was gone. For much of July I was working on decorations for my daughter's first birthday in August (which I will share soon). How did that happen???? Then the party came and went. I had to travel for work and ended up getting stuck for an extra day and then the next thing I know it was time for our vacation at the end of the summer. So that is basically where my summer went and why there was not much crafting going on. But I do finally have a card to share today. There are lots of new goodies on here! The Holiday catalog is fabulous this year! There are so many things that I want but I tried to limit myself a little. I just had to get the Howl-o-Ween set because I loved that owl. Although my first card with the set doesn't use the owl. :) I think this card is just as cute too. How can you not love that skeleton face with the awesome black glimmer paper behind it! The framelits to cut out the face and bones make things so much easier. I love that there are so many coordinating bundles in the catalog. And then can we talk about that embossed background. I see so many uses for the Woodland textured embossing folder. It can be used all year long! And probably my most favorite items on the this card are the black glimmer paper and the spider web doily. I love all of the glimmer paper and the black is just fantastic!

I hope you enjoyed today's card. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the new catalog as well. What are your favorites? What are you interested in me showcasing on my blog! Let me know!

Have a great day!

You've Got This

Happy Friday! I have a short post and a quick card for you today. This card is the make and take that we did at my New Catalog open house back in June. I LOVE this flower from the set. Unfortunately I haven't had as much time to play with as I would like. One day extra time will appear and I will be able to craft the days away!! One can be hopeful right?!?! Anyway, I wanted to show that you can make a really simple but stunning card with this set. I stamped the large background in Mint Macaroon and then stamped the flower in Tip Top Taupe. The sentiment is from And Many More. I really like the new washi label punch. It still doesn't replace my beloved modern label punch but it's the perfect size for those smaller sentiments. I then stapled the pink pirouette piece onto the deco label. I used a nice piece of DSP, adding a little lace ribbon and that's it! This layout would be cute in other color options with different DSP in the background. Maybe I will try to make a couple more over the weekend. I have to get back into the craft cave this weekend to get ready for a workshop next week. I will post those make and take cards next week. I have some cute ideas in my head so I hope they turn out good!

Have a nice weekend!

Dino-Rrific!

Happy Friday! I hope everyone had a great week. I was in Indianapolis for a few days for work. It was a good trip but I missed my little guys. Luckily they were well behaved for dad. Today's card is one that I made for a birthday party we had a couple of weeks ago. My son had his first friend birthday party from school so I thought this set was the perfect one to use. As soon as I saw this set in the catalog I knew I was going to get it and hopefully use it quite a bit. It is so cute! I just love those dinos! Everything on this card is new except for the starburst framelits. (Boo, so sad they are gone). You could easily just use another circle cut out behind the one with the dinosaurs. The colors I used for the dinos were Tangelo Twist and Cucumber Crush. The leaves were also stamped in Cucumber Crush. I stamped them once on scrap paper and then onto the circle so they were not as bright. The rest of the card is pretty self explanatory. One thing to note is that I did stamp the sentiment 3 separate times in 3 colors and then punched the ends of the white strip with the banner punch.

Have a great weekend!
