A quick card from my Srping/Summer Stash!


One of the major incentives to sign up with Stampin' Up!
was the fact that craft supplies could be delivered to your door :-)
The other bonus is being able to see new things 
pre-launch and pre-order, if only I had some extra time to have play with the new goodies!

With December Birthdays, this Picture Perfect Party Designer Paper brings light in the form of candles, for some of the darkest December days! Yes, I am officially obsessed with the Happy Birthday Thinlit and Multipurpose Adhesive sheet for easy adherence of the greeting! 


Card stock: Picture Perfect Party 6"x6" Designer Series Paper, Bermuda Bay Glimmer backed with  Multipurpose Adhesive sheets before cutting out with the Happy Birthday Thinlit!

You can never have enough shimmer and sparkle ;-)

Do something Creative every day ;-)

Darkness with bright contrast!


December Birthdays always seem to get the short straw,
but as one of my December Birthday friends pointed out,
the daylight is short, but the nights for partying are LONG ;-)
Really, it's all a question of perspective :-)

For my friend who loves Black, and Green, and Pink and Orange together, which I always find challenging, but it REALLY does work, especially with the fabulous contrast of the black.


Stamp Set: Happy Birthday Gorgeous
Card Stock: Basic Black, Kraft, Old Olive,
Melon Mambo and Tangerine Tango
Ink: Basic Black
Accessories: Stitched Circle Thinlit, Flourish Thinlit, Color Theory Suite Glitter Enamel Dots and rhinestones.

Crafting Forever, Housework whenever ;-)

A little Birthday catch up!


Each year I am CONVINCED that Christmas won't overtake me,
and I'll take the whole advent blog in my stride,
hee hee hee!

Now we have the excitement of Sale-A-Bration and the Spring/Summer Catalogue launch,
so as always I start the SU year late ;-)

Anyway, yet more catching up from previous celebrations! Especially on your Birthday, you should receive your hearts desire, but printed chocolates are more practical for card format!


Stamp Set: More than Chocolate
Card Stock: Whisper White, Coffee Break DSP, Pear Pizzazz,
Copper Foil
Inks: Early Espresso, Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake
Accessories: Stitched Shape framelit, Circle punch, Happy Birthday Thinlit and Multi-purpose adhesive sheet,
Washi tape punch and 1/4" Copper Trim

Needless to say actual chocolates accompanied this card,
but I had lots of fun choosing the chocolates that went in this box ;-)

Happy New Year, Happy Crafting All!
