HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM MICKY MOUSE


I am so excited about the way this cake turned out. It is not easy copying a cartoon, especially in frosting free handed and get it to turn out looking like the actual cartoon! My Mickey really looks like Mickey! I used 2 round cake pans to create the base for the head, and free handed the details. I have to say... I was kinda stressed about this one.

BURRR

Sit Much - not on this seat! Laugh much - may as well, all this snow would make anyone want to cry!
Oh life in the country ..... Snowy, icy impassable roads...
wouldn't change it for nothing in this world....Ahhhh life is good!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

I love this stamp "Be My Valentine" from the Occasions Mini.  It is just $8.95! Paired with one of my favs Notably Ornate stamp set on pg 125 in the Idea book and Catalog. I used Bravo Burgundy, Vanilla and Soft Suede card stock. Soft Suede ink. I used the new Textured Impressions Embossing Folder "Framed Tulips" from the Occasions Mini as well. I think if Stampin Up carried 1,000 embossing folders I would have to have all of them. I love the effect they put on card stack. The folders are super easy to use and makes plain paper look like very expensive. It gives your cards that little something special. I used a dauber and rubbed Soft Suede ink over the embossed area to make it pop and give it a bit of an aged look. Hope you enjoy it. There is a new Valentine share coming tomorrow - so stay tuned! Thanks for visiting my blog. I hope you enjoy the posts and are inspired to stamp something beautiful.

TALL MATCHBOX


The lid is made out of the Matchbox die cut found on my Stampin Up website. The box bottom is a card stock cut 7" x 7 1/2" and score all sides 2 1/5". Snip along the score lines and trip the corner edges to remove some bulk at corners. Fold and glue to form bottom of box. Top with the matchbox lid and tie on ribbon. So cute and easy!

CARD SHARE

Every time I visit Georgeanne she sends me home with one of her new card creations. Using Day of Gratitude stamp set from the Winter Mini Catalog for a wedding/anniversary card. Now that is thinking out of the stamp box!

GARDEN PARTY

This card by Debbie L. reminds me of a garden party. She designed it around the ribbon that she had loads to use up. Notice the ribbon detail she did.

ICY SUNNY DAY



 Yes there are beautiful days in the dead of winter in Indiana! Even after an scary ice storm. We weathered it well, had power all but 1/2 hour. The bottom picture may look like a layer of snow on the ground - but it is really ice and very slick now that the sun has melted it a bit. What do you do on an ice day? Make yummy food and stamp!

CARD SWAP

The first card is made by Rozella and the 2nd one by Anita Taylor.

COME ON SPRING!


These two cards are made by Tracy Swift and shared at our card swap.

CHOCOLATE CRAFTS




These little chocolate crafts are for Candace's 13th Birthday party. The picture holder is a 1/4 of a 8 1/2 x 11" sheet of card stock with a little embellishment. The open area is just waiting for a favorite photo to be added. The little note book is covered with white card stock and stamp. The birthday party girls will enjoy making these little gifts.

BLUEBERRY CRISP

Judy Hacker made this card using out amazing Blueberry crisp designer background paper. Glue strips of background paper on a scrap of paper at least 5 1/2 x 4 1/2 and then run through the Big Shot using the Top note die. You get this patchwork quilt piece. You can also use square punched pieces for a different look.

SPUDS


Every month we share in a recipe club and you are invited! I cook and you get to taste test and make a 6x6 scrapbook page. We use Stamp set Puns from the Past. Black and vanilla card stock and the must have Newsprint Designer series paper.
