Christmas Ornament-THANK YOU!

Hello Strangers!!!
Don't I ALWAYS start my post with some excuse as to why I haven't posted in FOR EVER!!?? SORRY:( As usual life gets away from me and before I know it my last post seems like ages ago! I've just started a new job in the Pharmaceutical industry so I am bringing work home these days just to remain on target. So this has taken a bit of my stamping time away :( Once I get into the groove though I won't have to bring work stuff home near as much.

SO, I'm going to be honest, I can't take credit for this piece. My AWESOME and talented friend (and downline) Lisa Macmaster made this for me and gave it to me at our downline meeting. Isn't it SUPER SWEET??? LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! Thanks Lisa. I'm not 100% sure where she got the directions but she did teach us how to make an individual flower and it's easy to make BUT WOW--time consuming. This took her hours to create. I appreciated it Lisa-THANKS. I have stashed it away with my Christmas decor so it will be out next year!

Well I for sure love this project. I'm the lucky receiver of a great gift. Thanks Lisa :)

See you soon all I promise :)

Flip books for twins!!

Hey all and Happy Friday,

Well if you have been following along with by blog you will know that I made a flip book for a friend who just had a baby. Well I have another friend that's expecting TWINS. They decided to have a 3rd child and now they are expecting twins in April. 4 kids under the age of 5. Can you say STRESS??? I am delighted for them but man they will have their hands full. We had a baby shower for her and we were supposed to just bring her diapers. I added these 2 flip books as a little additional gift. She LOVED them. They are just so easy to make, how could I have not given them to her? Hope you like them. BTW I didn't include the boys inside pictures as it was pretty much the same as a few posts ago. Scroll down to see inside of that one.
These books us the Manchester and Bella Rose DSP.

Take care and have a fantastic Friday!!

Baby Boy Flip Book

Hey all! Happy Thursday!!

So remember my little whale card on my last post----I suppose you could just scroll down hey??? HA HA. Anyhow, this was the little gift I gave that matched it. I gave it to my friend at her baby shower. It's a mini flip book that she can add pictures of her new baby boy too. A while back I made a couple of Christmas ones with the I Wish Simply Scrappin Kit. They are soooooo easy to make and sooooo fun. I always love the outcome. This one was fun for me because I only have girls and I needed a reason to buy this awesome Manchester paper. It's not pink!! WOW, shocker!!
Anyhow I hope you like it, I think Donna (my friend) did.

Thanks as always for checkin' in.
Take care and have a fantastic day!!

Cute Little Christmas Box

Hello all!!

It's winter wonderland here in Ontario and I'm lovin' it!! The Christmas tree is up, the lights are up outside and we are ready for Christmas ALREADY!! I go back to work in 2 weeks from a year off of mat leave so I wanted to be sure all Christmas decor was up. Not to mention I am a Christmas FREAK! I love it.

So this little box was something we made at my stampers 10 club. I got it off of Splitcoast. I found it under Beate's tutorials. She's genius!! Her blog is to the right>>>>> Slide on over and check her out. She's awesome. I thought this box was so super cute because it's not your typical square box. I love that's it's a triangle. Something different. Hope you like it too.

Thanks for popping by today and enjoy your week.

3D PUMPKIN

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!

WHOA!!!! I love love love TURKEY DINNER. It is simply the best ever. My favourite meal by far. I ate and ate and ate this weekend and I loved every minute of it!! Tomorrow though I am back on track. No more junk!! Ha Ha.

So Wednesday night will be my stampers night and this cute litte pumpkin is one of the projects we will be making. SO CUTE hey? I got it off Dawn's blog (Dawn's Stamping Thoughts). She is in my blog roll to the right so be sure to click on her site and check her out. She's awesome. Anyhow, saw this little pumpkin and just HAD to make one. I changed it up a bit by actually stamping leaves and then cutting them out. So easy to make and I think they would look so cute as decorations around the house. Don't you think they would look cute as a Christmas ornament too???? Using Christmas colours of course! I think I may just tackle that!

Anyhow, hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by today!!
Take care.
Paula :)

RECIPE:
PAPER: Tangerine Tango (8 strips cut into 1 X 5.5 strips), Old Olive (cut into thin thin strips then wrapped around a pencil to get it to curl).
INK: Old Olive
STAMPS: Autumn Harvest (the leaves)
Used my cropodile to make the holes on the top and bottom. Then I used brads to fasten the strips together. SUPER EASY PROJECT!!

Christmas Box

Hi all and happy Wednesday!!

Tonight is my Christmas card class and I'm soooo excited. I am already in the mood for Christmas. The decorations, the gift giving, family, friends.....CARDS CARDS CARDS!!! I decided to make this little box to hold some Christmas cards that I may give as a hostess gift over the holiday season. Cute box hey? I got it off of U Stamp by Heather and Dawn. Cute box that will hold about 5 cards nicely.

I hope you like it and I'll be back soon.
Have a wonderful day!!!

Baby Shower Gift

Well well well, it's been a while!! So sorry. My weekend has been crazy busy (as was my week) with this and that. I have been glued to the TV watching the Olympics. I am addicted!! Makes me want to get off the couch and WORK OUT!! Crazy I know!! HA HA.

Well this project was soooooo fun for me. We went to a co-ed baby shower on Saturday and this was part of the gift we gave to the excited couple. I made this cute little box (got directions from HERE--super easy!) and then I filled it with 20 thank you cards as well as the envelopes. You can never have too many thank yous when you have a baby!! That's for sure.

The little onesie card shown here I cased from Lauren Meader's blog. Cute hey? I thought so!!

Anyhow, I hope to get some serious stamping done this week. It's been too long!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Beautiful Box

It's a glorious day today!!!!!!! Yup, I finally have my new STAMPIN' UP CATALOGUE!!!! WOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! LOVING IT and I am sooooo totally going to go broke buying everything I want to buy. I can't even stand it. I WANT EVERYTHING!
Remember if you are in any of my clubs you will be getting one of these bad boys FREE from me as a thank you!!! I swear you won't be disappointed!

On to this cute little box. On Monday night I went to a fun quartly meeting for SU demos. This was the cute make and take we all got to make. LOVE IT!! I can't tell you the dimentions (but I have sean it loads of times on Splitcoast Stampers) but what I CAN tell you is that it uses the NEW Bella Rose paper from Stampin' Up. Beautiful paper I must say. Anyhow, the catalogue is also on line to view BUT I must say it's way better to hold it in your hot little hands!!

Thanks for checkin' in today and have a great day!!

Long Live Tart and Tangy!!

HELLO and HAPPY WEEKEND EVERYONE!!!

Well, I was surfing SPLITCOAST the other night and found this adorable little box to make. Jen Del Muro is the one who created this little "pizza box" and I needed a couple of little give aways for a class I'm having so here it is!! The little box houses 3.5 X 3.5 cards and I made 3 to go in each. I'd say it would fit 5 easily. Anyhow check out Jen's blog for directions and details. So easy to make and oh so darn cute! Don't ya think?
I also love the Tart and Tangy stamp set along with the Summer Picnic paper. I hear they made the new SU catalogue (don't have one yet and it's KILLING ME!!) which I couldn't be happier about. Love the 2 together!!

Anyhow, thanks for checkin' out my blog today!!
Ta ta for now.
