"Dare to Dream"

Hello Friends,
Woo Hoo it's FRIDAY!! and it's half a day at work today for Good Friday!! I'm hosting Easter at my house this year and I will be doing all my shopping today to prepare for Sunday!  I can't wait to see photos of your Easter Sunday with all the little one's  hunting for those "EGGS"


Well, my son will be back to school on Monday as his Spring break ends:( He sure is having a blast playing golf with his daddy at a 9 hole golf course... I will share some photos later.


OK,  today I have some fairly simply cards.  I used the "Rosette Die" to create the fence {you can purchase the die HERE}, I then stamped the woodgrain background.  Thank you for visiting and have a "BLESSED" and joyful Easter Sunday with your families.

Look at the fence that I created with the Rosette Die and the woodgrain stamp. The tree stamp is from the Forever Young Clear-Mount Stamp Set. I used my sewing machine for the stitching around the card.

I used Lucky Limeade, Melon Mambo and Wisteria Wonder in card stock with our Stampin' Markers.  I love how I was able to get two looks for the fence from the "Rosette Die" which is super easy and fantastic to make those popular "Rosettes"  too!!

A side view to show the dimension and the distress around the edges. I heart this STAMP set sigh...

OK, isn't the Designer series paper the CUTEST and perfect for this project??  I've totally used up almost all of this DSP pack! Check out all those cute tiny flowers and what about that Gorgeous Pleated Satin Ribbon LOVE it.....

You guys I'm so mad because I made a boo boo on one of the blocks:( Yes,  you guessed which one  LOL! Can you believe I didn't notice till I was taking the photo! This is what happens when you are crafting LATE!!!! I will try to fix it.  I think I will also add some more heat embossed flowers to the other two block.

Can you believe that I bought 8 blocks for only $1.00 total at TJ Max.  I must say the color of the blocks were not pretty before.  I used some White Acrylic paint and painted them over and all nice and clean!   I was also inspired by a similar project from our Stampin' Up! Success magazine that Kirsteen Gill created. Loved it!

"Laugh-ter by definition is Healthy"

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday!!
Today, I have a card using heat emboss resist which, I must admit is my VERY first time!  I loved this technique and I will be trying it some more for sure...


I'm also very excited to be a Guest Designer over at Die Cuttin Divas.  I used Stampin' Up!'s postage punch to create today's card.  I hope you will visit Die Cuttin Divas and check out all the fabulous projects the Design Team has to share with you all and join in the sketch challenge!  Thank you ladies over at Die Cuttin Divas!!

I thought I would add the butterflies in Poppy Parade & Real Red for a pop of color.  OMG! I just  LOVE LOVE the Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die and is a "MUST" have and it's only $11.95 and worth every penny!!

See my take on this Sketch below:

This card is a 4 X 4 card with a matching envelope that I made with our New Diagonal Score Plate.  I also used a "NEW" stamp that will be in the June 1, 2012 Catalog.  Here's a "Sneak Peek"  

A side view to show those Beautiful Butterflies and the dimension on every punched Postage Stamp square.  I also used my favorite SAB designer paper for this card.

Love this sentiment! Don't you??
