Party Hearty Scrapbook page!

Happy Thursday! Thursday's are happy days for me because it is my day off during the week from my other job! Which is really never a day off, always filled with appointments and other things! Today the kids and I went to the dentist then later I took Taylor, my oldest to a fun sewing class with her girls scout troop! But before the day is over I wanted to share these pages with you! My good friend and club member Kaye made these and graciously said I could share them with all of you! I LOVE what she did with this set! Party Hearty is my favorite Birthday set... so many possibilities with this set! Kaye used a few different colors of Bold Bright markers to make the colorful hats! Such a simple and fun layout! Thanks for sharing Kaye!

Embellish Me! New Corduroy Brads & Buttons!

I received these in the mail yesterday from my up -up line,Ronda Wade. I love getting gifts in the mail! She sent me these two beautiful card samples along with a pack of the New Corduroy Buttons and Brads! First Card uses the Sale-A-Bration Set you can get for free through the end of March, Polka Dot punches... This is my favorite FREE Set this year!



The next Sample uses the Button in the pack and she added some of the new white Organza Ribbon and the new Eyelet Border punch along the bottom as well! She also used one of my favorite stamp sets Spot on...

These corduroy buttons and brad are included in the Embellishment share I am offering here..

Here is one more share for today! Below are the 2 pages the girls in the Mom & Me Scrapbook Club made this month! So cute and Springy! We used the new FREE SAB (Sale-A-Bration) Polka Dot Punches stamp set, So Saffron ribbon from the FREE SAB Bundle along with the Delicate Dots DSP also FREE during SAB! I took a close up of the flower element. We stamped the flower in Close to Cocoa on Bashful Blue and Certainly Celery, then used the 5 petal flower punch to punch them out. We used a couple petals to make leaves and finished it off with the New Colored Flower Brads (these are also in the Embellishment share!) Fun, Fun!

Enjoy and have a blessed day!

Happy Valentines Day!

LOL I have heard that phrase so much in the last few days! It makes me happy! I had patients all day yesterday at work tell me that when they were leaving. I think it is sweet more people are saying it to people other than their sweeties! Anyway....I thought I would share with you some treats I made for Shelby's Daycare workers and kids she goes to daycare with. I took the pictures on the fly yesterday morning so they are not that great but good enough for you to see! I was so excited about making these little cones. You will learn how to make one at my up coming Sale-A-Bration and New Catalog Class if you come on the 21st. See post for details. There was confusion on when this class was from some of you. It is the 21st and you can come when it is convenient for you...anywhere from 9:30 am to 3pm.


WOW....they are so cute!! I used the new texture plates for my Big Shot that give the a dry embossed design, which is so hard to see in pictures but amazing in person! We will be playing with is on the 21st too! The stamp is from a new Level 2 Hostess set called A Little Something.It is my favorite hostess set I have played with so far! Why......because it coordinates and works with our punches!! Of Course! I love punches....these little treats were so easy and quick thanks to my Big Shot and my punches! I used the new Lg Heart Punch with the Lovey Dovey stamp from the set! I also used some new Flower Brads to jazz them up a bit!

These were what I made for the other kids in Shelby's daycare. They are all toddlers so they couldn't have candy. So I found these little crackers for them. I just wrapped a belly band of pink pirouette designer paper around them and decorated them with a punched hart from the hostess set, stamped in Riding Hood . Then I punched a small flower from the 3 small flower punch and attached with a silver brad. very simple and easy....to be honest with you I made 8 of them in about 10 minutes yesterday morning before I left for work, because I fell asleep early the night before! I wrote "Love, Shelby. XOXO" right on the belly band. It is hard to see in the picture.
