See Ya Later Sale-A-Bration

It's Monday!  Another chance to start fresh and make this week a great one!  I live for the weekends, but I kind of love making a fresh start and setting goals for the week when Monday rolls back around.  This Monday is kind of a bitter-sweet one...it's the end of Sale-A-Bration :-(  Today is your LAST CHANCE to pick out a FREE Sale-A-Bration item when you order $50.  Don't miss out on any of this years fun products!

My card today showcases my favorite stamp set from this year's SAB...See Ya Later.  (You'll notice I used one of the MDS stamps in my Monday Montage post too!) 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Gumball Green Core'dinations, Coastal Cabana, Whisper White, Fresh Prints DSP

Ink ~ Gumball Green, Coastal Cabana

Stamp Sets ~ See Ya Later, Zoo Babies

Other Supplies ~ Oval Framelits, Decorative Dots Embossing Folder

 

Isn't that embossing folder the PERFECT added touch for an alligator card?  I am so excited that this embossing folder will be carrying over into the 2014-2015 annual catalog.

 

And speaking of annual catalog...it will be here before we know it!!!  This is the sweet part at the end of Sale-A-Bration!  I think I get more excited about new catalogs than anything else...and I know I'm not alone!

 

So, don't forget to contact me TODAY to get your last Sale-A-Bration order in!

 

Happy Stamping!

Sweet Sorbet Note Card Set & Box

Happy Monday friends!  We got hit hard this weekend with lots of snow, but rumor has it the temps are supposed to warm up, so I'm guessing it won't stick around for long.  While I do LOVE the snow, I am ready for some warm spring sunshine. 

 

Today I get to share with you my very own project for the February edition of Craft Project Central.  Be sure to subscribe and get the tutorial for all of the fabulous February projects!

 

This cute note card set would make a great gift idea for a friend or perhaps a teacher or co-worker.  This project would also be great for a Stampin’ Up! Sale-A-Bration kick off class, showcasing some of the fun Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper and accessories.

This was a fun little set to make and I am honored to be a part of such an amazing talented group of stampers!

 

Happy Stamping!

Love Ya Foxy

Happy Wednesday friends!  I finally made it down to my craft room yesterday and it was soooo nice to play with some paper, ink and stamps...and I felt so much better after.  Stamping really is my therapy! 

I started this card the morning of my surgery and just didn't have enough time to get it done before the challenges expired, but I still wanted to share it.

I just realized I used Tangerine Tango card stock and Pumpkin Pie ink for the fox...oops!  Oh well, it still works, right?

 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Baked Brown Sugar, Tangerine Tango, Whisper White, Blushing Bride, Pool Party Core'dinations, Watercolor Wonder DSP, Watercolor Paper

Ink ~ Jet Black StazOn, Pumpkin Pie, Gumball Green, Blushing Bride, Versa Mark

Stamp Sets ~ Life in the Forest, Just Sayin', Hardwood

Other Supplies ~ Word Bubbles Framelits, Starburst Framelits, Arrows Textured Embossing Folder, Decorative Dots Embossing Folder(SAB)

 

I was totally inspired by my good friend Katie over at Sweet n Spiffy and just had to CASE her Colour Me....Playful! card from last week....so cute!!!  The challenge colors are perfect for this little critter stamp set :-)  And last weeks Freshly Made Sketches challenge was the perfect sketch for a fun little forest scene.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by today!  I'm hoping to have more posts up this week and next...going to stamp my little heart out while I'm forced to take time off from work ;-)

 

Happy Stamping!
