For the remainder of the month I will be sharing projects from the Occasions Mini Catalog because this is the last month to order from it and I LOVE so many tools and sets from there! First Up is the "With All My Heart" Stamp Set along with the "Fancy Flower" Punch which is perfect to punch out the large flower image. Ya know I love punches and this one is no exception! Love it with the stamp set and with out! I also have to tell you I purchased this stamp set in the clear mount and have to tell you I really like using the clear mount stamps!

These are pages from last months scrapbooking club and the card is one that we did at my friend Ann's Breast Cancer fundraiser Card Class.

6x6 pages


super easy card using Tempting Turquoise, Melon Mambo & Soft Suede. Stamped Melon Mambo Flower on Pretty In Pink and topped off with a turquoise rhinestone brad!



12x12 page done in same colors just adding in Old Olive & Whisper White. Used the Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions folder on the Old Olive piece.

Punch Bunny Club Projects

I know Easter is over but I have so many things to share with you and not enough time! LOL These little Bunnies were so much fun to put together! The Page was one that my Scrapbook Club friends did last month and the card was a matching one that the Stamping Club did! Scrappers can use this anytime of the year when they get to scrapin their Easter pics! To make these bunnies you will need the following punches: Lg. Oval, Sm. Oval, 1 3/8 in circle, 1/2 in circle &Trio Flower. I used the 1/4 in circle for the nose and eyes by now realized it is retired (oops..missed that!) Post in the comments if you need other suggestions for the nose and eyes. We also used the Basic Black stampin' write marker for the whiskers and details on the feet and the white gel pen for the highlights in the eyes and on the flower! On the Scrapbook page I used the Wide Oval punch and then stamped images from "A Good Egg" Stamp set for detials on the egg. This punch bunny is not my orignal idea.. there are so many creative demos out there that share their wonderful ideas! It is great to be a demonstrator for that alone!


Head on over to my online store to purchase these great punches! Click Shop Now..
***Purchase $35 or more in my online store or by e-mailing me during the month of April & purchase at least one punch and I will mail you the bunny card and pieces to make one extra bunny for another card or scrapbook page!

Jersey Shore ABC Scrapbook...

Ok here is some pages from an ABC album that I was telling you about that I made for a friend. I used the retired Jersey Shore Designer paper that was in a a previous catalog. The good...no great news, is that you can get a pack of it for $3.99 over in the Clearance Section here..(.Click on shop now then Clearance section) The regular price was $9.99, so it is quite a savings! Whoo Hoo...I really love that paper...great for summer and boys!



The front page is intended to feature a picture of the subject of the album, for this one happens to be a little boy named Boston (I do realize I forgot the apostrophe, I added it after I took the pic) ..His mom can now just pop in pictures that starts with the letters on the pages...it can be of an event, a person or thing...you can make ABC books for everything & everyone. Later this week I will share the one I made for my 2 yr old daughter Shelby. She loves her scrapbook and asks to look at it all the time! I have pictures of her, events, family & friends in there. I will be offering a class in May where you can come make a complete 6x6 ABC Album. I am finalizing the details with new products from the Summer Mini Catalog! Watch for details on this exciting ABC album you can make!!

If you love this paper or just love a good deal don't forget to head over to the Clearance Section to check out all the goodies!

Eyelet Border Paper Flower!

I can't tell you how much I LOVE making these flowers! They are such a WOW, but so easy to make! The ladies made these at the first Stampers club a couple weeks ago and we will be making this at my next card class. Don't you just love them?! I am also in LOVE with the perfect polka dots embossing folder from the Occasions Mini, which I used on the kraft cardstock! Everyone I make turns out different and you will be amazed how the patterned paper looks when your done! These were shown at a Stampin UP Regional seminar for demos but one of my Favorite stamper blogs has a tutorial if you want to try it yourself....check out Julie's blog. If your a hand on girl like me...make sure you come to my next class.
