A Favorite...

This is one of my favorite cards! I love everything about it...the colors, the bling, the stamps the paper...

The sentiment is from PrintWorks and flower burst is from Stampendous. I used the Designer paper from Stampin Up along with some My Mind's Eye. The satin ribbon is also from SU. I added a couple Prima flowers a bling center and some of the shimmer white paper. I hope you all have a great weekend. Don't forget to look at the post below this one for some great weekend inspiration! Until next time...

She is my hero goddess! I can't believe I didn't find this earlier...check her out! The Cupcake Goddess!!!!! I want to be you! I found this blog from the great owner, Trish of Work in Progress...if you haven't tried one of her scrapbook kits, you really must!!!

Our Very First Award...

We got this award from Toni at CardsNCandles! Thanks so much! We are supposed to pass this on to 5 other worthy bloggers! Since Penny actually won it, I am going to let her come back and post 5 blogs she finds inspirational since they are all "worthy!" Thanks again Toni, it was fun visiting your blog!

{Berry Sorbet Invitation}

This isn't anything fancy but it highlights how easy and elegant Papertrey Ink products are. This week is support employee appreciation week in my school district. I made these cute and quick little invitations for our secretarial team who we are honoring with lunch and a free afternoon. To make these, I printed the invitation in word onto Papertrey White cardstock. I backed it with Berry Sorbet cardstock and used the Spiral Bouquet stamp set, one of my faves! I also used the berry sorbet polka dot ribbon. Other inks used include sweet blush and spring moss, also PTI. Gotta love Nichole Heady :-) She is truly an inspiration! Hope you like this quick idea. To the stampers of the world it will seem like nothing but believe me, these will impress all the ladies at work!! So glad to have my sis on board with the blog. Hopefully we'll have regular posts so you keep coming back. To our few friends out there, spread the word, lol!

Easter is Long Gone, but...

I know Easter is long over, but my camera wasn't working at the time. This is a stamp from the Michaels $1 bin paired with the cute Making Memories collection that you can get at Target!!! How cool is that?! I also added a prima and making memories flower. I outlined the chicks with a Sakura glitter pen to add some extra bling bling. :)

If you are a scrapbooker...check out the All About Me online class that A Million Memories is sponsoring. It is only $10 and looks like it is going to be a lot of fun! You can sign up here.

New Stamps

These are some cards I made with my new Karen Lockhart stamps. I loved all the cards that Mish is always making with them, so I ordered these two and decided to try them out myself. I don't have Copics so I colored with SU markers, the Designer Paper is from SU and I used some Diamond Glaze for the strawberry bowl that adds some glass type effect! Hope you enjoy! Thanks for stopping in!

{Sushi Anyone?}

So sorry it's been forever since we've posted. Still trying to get in the swing of things with the blogging....plus my sis is having a problem with her camera card so she's no help, lol! Hopefully she'll be able to post soon because she is much more creative than I am :-) First up is a card that I made with the new clear Amuse Sushi set. Love that set! At the bottom I stamped "me without you". Inside it says, "is like sushi without wasabi". Isn't that the cutest! The paper is from Basic Grey Scarlet's Letter.

The other thing I want to share.....Lemon-Cream Cheese Cupcakes. Check out the lemon zest in the icing. Don't they sound great? I got the recipe from the Kraft Foods Magazine. Yum!! They are for a colleague's birthday tomorrow. Well, I've been meaning to try out Taylor's cupcake challenge all day. Let's see if I can still accomplish that tonight :-) Have a great Monday!
