card #2




So here it is, the second card we will be making at my class on march 29th. I definately cant take credit for this card. I totally cased it from my very talented upline Angela. You can check out her blog here. This card uses the very wonderful sab papers and ribbon. You can only get these papers and ribbons during SAB--its almost over so order now! I used certainly celery, bashful blue, and whisper white cardstock. The true friend phrase is from the simple friendship stamp set--very cute set. I used the big shot to cut the top note and the butterfly and popped it up on dimensional. Other than the ticket corner punch thats about it. It was very simple, but I love it! I love having my new craft room! I get so much more done. I dont actually get a lot of time in there but I can sneak away for 5 minutes here and 5 minutes there. Those 5 minutes add up and I get at least one project done a day...which I can live with!


Hope you like the card and I hope to see you at the class...it will be fun and will help a great cause!

Good Mornin Sunshine!

Hello!

How cute is this paper? I love it! I definately have to get more of it! Since I ordered this paper I have wanted to make a frame out of it. This is what I came up with. I made the owl out of SU punches and I used the petal pizzazz and cheap talk stamp sets to make the flowers and stamp on the pacific point. I used a rub-on from last years sale-a-bration set--yes i still have 2 packs, but I love them. As you can see i also used buttons in the middle of the flowers, they just needed something. They are popped up on dimensionals and I think thats about it. There isnt a picture in it, well because I didnt want to put off posting it until later cause I never would have gotten it done. I really like how it came out. I think I just might make another one...we'll see cause I also want to make one with my parisian breeze and rockabilly dsp. I LOVE those dsps too... I really like almost all of them and hate to use them, but there is no point in buying them if they are just gonna sit there! Ok well this is it for today. Short, Sweet, and to the Point.

Have a great day!

Its a card!


Im having a class March 29th at 2:00 to help raise money for the Franklin County Realay for Life. I sent out my email to everyone yesterday letting them know but I didnt have my samples done yet of what we would be making. I still dont have them all done, but this is one of the cards we will be making. It uses the new embossing plates, dazzling diamonds glitter and some brads as well as some stamps obvoiusly. It isnt supposed to have that dark spot down at the bottom. I took it to show my mil and had a cruet of salad dressing in my purse apparently next to it, and Im thinking some of the oil got on it. I hope not cause then that means there is some in my purse--I havent checked yet--but thats the only thing I can think of that would have left a mark like that. I got the idea for this card from my meeting with my upline and sidelines the other night. My very talented sideline Melody made this card, but she used different colors and the trendy tree stamp set. I love that set, but dont have it... so I had to improvise and I must say I think I did a great job! haha. So for those of you coming on the 29th, this is a card you will be making.
Hope you like it!
Thanks for stoppin by!

SOOOOO Excited!

So, for those of you that know me, you know that my craft room was basically a coat closet...well not basically, it was a coat closet. It was very frustrating cause if I wanted to work on something, I had to lug everything out to the living room then put it all back when I as done. I wasted most of the little stamping time I get taking stuff out and cleaning it up. So a couple weeks ago we decided to move Kaleb into a regular bed and put him and Wes in the same room. This opened up a spare room for us. Well its been empty ever since. Scott went away this past weekend to PA and so i decided I was done having an empty room. I turned it into a craft room. Well Im working on it anyways. I still need some shelves and stuff like that, but it is WAAAAAAAAAY better than a closet.


Again, it doesnt look like very much right now, but it will after i get around to gettin some stuff. There will be a chair and tv in there so Scott can at leat be in the same room with me and we can kinda watch tv together at night. That was one of the conditions, he didnt want me to just disappear and never see me so we comprimised. And thats fine, I rather it that way anyways.

This is all just in time for all the new stuff I ordered. I finally got my bigshot! I am soooo excited! I ordered a bunch of new stamps, punches, and all sorts of goodies. I also preordered stuff from the new occassions mini the other day, its the first time I preordered on the first day it started. I now know why I dont do that, I forget tons of stuff that I wanted or order something that in reality I know I probably wont use very often, but oh well. I will be geting more new stuff so Im not complaining. I am however putting my self on an ordering freeze... I have spend so much money the past few weeks on stuff its crazy! So I am banning myself for awhile. I need to start using the stuff I have before I get more!

Well thanks for stopping by! Have a Great day!

Stampin Up Preorder for Customers!

I was doing really good about updating my blog... Then I dont know what happened. I had stuff to post, just never got it done. So I am going to get back into it. Stampin' Up just released their mini catalog to demonstrators for preorder--there are some fantastic stamps in this one. That means, we get to order stuff before customers do.... (another great reason to be a demo). They have decided to let customers preorder from a selection of stamps. These are the sets you can order. Aren't they cute? They are perfect for all those easter cards and treats you have to make. Even better, you dont have to wait for the mini to start April first to order them, you can have them before that! To place your order, email me at laurafiske89@comcast.net or go to my online store.

Hope everyone has a great day! If your from the northeast, be careful in all that snow we have!

oh ya, dont forget to stop by the next few days.... I will definately have more to post!
