Hello Friends,
Thank you for stopping by and the well wishes for my little guy! After three days of 103 temp and Tylenol, Motrin and Tamiflu that the doctor prescribed he seems to be a little more active today thank god! I did have him sleep with us at night so I could keep cold towels and ice packs. There's nothing worse than having you babies sick huh?

OK my friends, I was able to make this card while my little guy was sleeping.  I was inspired to case the card that was on the Walmart add with a few minor changes using my Stampin' Up! Products:)  I hope you like it:)

Thank you for stopping by and have a fantastic day!

I used the Hearts Collection Framelits Dies to set a base for my dimension heart, I then used the 7/8" Scallop Circle Punch to create the flowers inside the die cut heart in Real Red.  The sentiment is heat embossed in Whisper White Stampin' emboss powder.

Hello Friends,
Happy Saturday! I was honored to be asked to be a Guest Designer for My Sheri Crafts.  The challenge over at My Sheri Crafts is to create projects with any Sports Theme.  This challenge was perfect for me since my son had a Birthday Party with a Soccer Theme and what a perfect time to share some of those projects with you all today.

Today's projects are a simple goodie bag to assemble and a fairly simple Thank You card.  I must say that stamping the soccer balls and Goal all over the tissue paper was a little well OK a LOT of work! I hope you will join us on the Sports Theme challenge and enter your projects over at My Sheri Crafts!  Thank you for stopping by today and thank you to Sheri for having me be a Guest Designer.

Notice the tissue paper with the stamped soccer balls and Goals well the stamping can take a little longer but you can easily do with out the stamping if you need a fast and simple goodie bags.  I bought the bags at Target and the large soccer ball is a sticker from a local craft store that I stuck on some Basic Gray card stock and Whisper White.  The medal is a quick embellishment added to the bag for the kids to wear at the party!

I embossed the Whisper White top card stock with the "NEW" Honeycomb Textured Impressions Folder which you can get from our Spring Catalog for only $7.95 I also heat embossed the Thank you I love being spoiled with the Stampin' White emboss powder.  The soccer ball and sentiment are retired Stampin' Up! stamps.

I added the Basic Black honeycombs by embossing some Basic Black card stock and cutting individual honeycombs and adhering them randomly.  I think they went perfectly with the soccer theme don't you think??

I used the Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch to create the flower and the Little Leaves Die. I used the Labels and Heart Framelits which will be carried over to the new catalog. I sprayed the frames with some Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz which you can hardly see on the pictures but OMG! it looks lovely in person! 

I used the Framed Tulips in the Flirtatious Specialty Paper and inked it up with Concord Crush using the Sponge Daubers. I stamped the heart and label frames with the Distressed Dots stamp and emboss them with white emboss powder.

The little Devil is my son and my two nieces! I used the Owl, Blossom Petal and Bird Builder punches to create this adorable DEVIL cased from Laura Lipe.  I also Used a 1/2" circle punch for the nose and a 3/4"" circle punch for the horns. I hand drew the mouth and sponged the devil with Real Real Ink.

I used a 4" X 9-1/4" card stock and scored at 4" and 8-1/2"  I used staples to hold the flap so that way the mini Layouts would stay in the album.

The inside cards measure 3-5/8" these are perfect to give to grandparents or any family member:)

Please leave one comment and a way to contact you.  Open to everyone.  I will announce the winner on Monday.
