True to my word!!!

Well hello everyone!!
I'm delighted to say that I kept my word! I'm so excited! I said I'd post if I was working from home today due a snow storm and well....here I am. Working from home as the snow flies outside!! It's really pretty from inside I must say!!
This time it's my cousin's birthday. This was a super quick card I made for her. A little vintage style. I love this set! One of my favourites this year! For those who don't know it's called Artistic Etchings. I paired it up with some retired Christmas paper if you can believe it! I love getting the most use out of my paper where ever possible.

I hope you like this card.
I'll post some Valentine's ones soon.
Thanks for checking in again.

Filled with Love Birthday

Well good day everyone!!
I had a couple of birthdays so I was excited to stamp a couple of cards for them!! I always love to stamp JUST to stamp. I mean I'm not prepping for a class / club right now so I literally got to stamp for pure pleasure! So exciting and fun!
This particular card was made for my aunt and I used the SU set Filled with Love. SUPER cute Valentine set. Because I'm in Valentine mode I wanted to use this set BUT I had to make it birthday related. I just dug out the sentiment HAPPY BIRTHDAY from a retired set and there you have it. It's in the mail ready to be delivered! I hope she likes it.

Well, we here in Southwestern Ontario are expecting a huge snow storm tonight so may be a snow day tomorrow. Haven't we had enough already? SHEESH!!! SO, if I'm home tomorrow I'll try to post another card. Until then wish us luck that we don't get burried.

Take care and thanks as always for popping by.

Celebration Scrapbook Layout!

Me again :)
Twice in one week! I know-crazy!!!
So this month is my last scrap club month :( Makes me sad. I have had a blast these past 6 months with these 14 ladies!!! I will miss them and our laughs!
So Stampin' Up usually has about 10 Simply Scrappin' kits in their cattys. This catty only had 4 which I must admit was a little disappointing. BUT it forced me to get a little creative. SO, I purchased SU's Celebration DSP, 4 different colour 12x12paper and the Celebration Quick Accents. VOILA!!!! Here are the 4 layouts I came up with. I adore the Celebration paper!! It's bright and SUPER fun!!! Colours are awesome. I'm a new fan of Pacific Point!!
I hope you like them :)

Take care.

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 :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

So first off HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all!! I hope you have a prosperous 2011!! I'm looking forward to this up coming year. I've started a new job so that's my most exciting news and something to focus on. I'm delighted to welcome every new year with celebrating my daughters birthday. My little Berlynn's birthday is today and she is 3!! I will post a pic shortly for you. It's been a great day hangin' at home celebrating. We will have a party for her next weekend.

On to the card. Have I mentioned that I love Artistic Etchings---Stampin' Up stamp set with the Eiffel Tower!! Adore it!! I hope you like the card...I'm loving the vintage look these days.

Take care and happy 2011 again.

Boy Birthday!

WOW~~ 2 posts in one week! What is happening??? LOL!! I'll tell you what's happening....my daughter Chloe is ill on the couch today so I actually have 5 minutes to sit and do stuff like this--POST!! Thus, 2 posts in 1 week :)

So this is a card I made for my Godson who had a birthday in early December. I find it hard to make masculine cards...I much prefer to make girly, frilly cards in all honesty. I chose to use SU's retired set Reviting. I do love this set. It's quite like Circle Circus I think. Same concept anyway. Remember yesterday I posted that I wanted to use Jolly Holiday paper on a NON Christmas project---take a CLOSE look at this one :) WINK WINK!

I hope you like this creation. I was pleased with my end result. Simple and "boyish."

Thanks for popping by. New Year's is just around the corner. Enjoy yours and be safe.
Take care,
Paula

Merry belated Christmas to you and yours!!

Good day all!!


Well now that Christmas is over with (sort of...we have one more Christmas celebration on Jan 2nd) I thought I'd post a few Christmas mini items I made. Just a couple of tags and mini 3x3 cards. So cute for gift giving. People loved them.
These are all using SU's Contempo Christmas stamp set as well as the ever popular Jolly Holiday DSP. I just LOVE this paper!!! My challenge will be to use this paper on NON Christmas projects. I will post those when it happens HEE HEE!!

So on a side note I am going to have my very own CRAFTING SPACE soon!!! Right now I stamp in my dining room which is posing a problem seeing as my stamp supplies are taking over!! At some point I will post pics of the transformation for you all. I always love to look at people's stamping space (especially with before and after pics). Stay tuned!! LOL.

Take care and enjoy your day :)
Thanks for popping by.
