Have You Missed Me?

Well….I’m back once again (at least for a few days!)  It seems like it’s been forever since I’ve chatted with all of you!  Vacation was good.  We had good visits with all of the relatives in MN and I got to see a few of my friends from high school.  The weather wasn’t bad.  Not too hot, not too cold and not too much rain.  Unfortunately my son caught the crud the second week of vacation and was kind enough to share it with my husband and I.  The three of us have been sick all this past week at home.  My son and I were smart enough to head to the doctor on Friday and the two of us are now on antibiotics and feeling and sounding much better.  I wanted to make sure I wasn’t sick for convention this coming week!

Since you’ve missed me so much you’d probably like to see an adorable project.   Yesterday I opened my home to a baby shower.   I only had to supply the air conditioned house.  My friend’s daughter did all the work.  The mother-to-be is expecting twins ( a boy and a girl) so there were TONS of adorable gifts on hand.  On Friday I decided I had better make a card for the occasion.  I know I have an old stamp set somewhere that would be perfect for twins but of course I couldn’t find it anywhere!  (I really need to get organized!)  I decided to then work with the adorable Zoo Babies stamp set.

002TSC!  This card turned out Too Stinkin’ Cute!  I’ve seen these adorable Card In A Box projects and thought I’d give it a try.  I love the way this one turned out!  They’re really not too hard to make.  I will work on making a tutorial for you….and those of you who come to my classes….we’ll definitely be making them in the near future.  I know you’ll love them!

So was missing me worth the wait?  I hope so.  Stick with me because I’ll be gone again in a few days.  I’m heading to Salt Lake City for Stampin’ Up!’s annual convention.  Woo Hoo!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

 

 

 

 

 

Fun and Adorable Zoo Babies

002Once again, all I can say is TCS!  Too Stinkin’ Cute!  I’m not sure why it took me so long to break down and purchase the Zoo Babies stamp set.  It’s ADORABLE!  Every single one of the images is TSC!

We made this card in classes this week.  Everyone fell in love with these little critters.  I used three silly monkeys on my card but most of the people in class chose to use three different critters.  I need to make more cards using this stamp set so I can play with all of the critters.

I went with the color combination of Coastal Cabana (love that color!) and Soft Suede to make it more of a baby card.  You could easily use brighter colors though for an older child.  Some of my customers have requested that we make kid’s cards in class so you may be seeing more of that type of card….keep a lookout!  🙂

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!
