P.S. I Love You

From my heart to yours, what a great saying!! This is going out to all my friends and family with problems today. You are in my heart and I am thinking about you and praying for you today. It seems that there has just been so much sickness lately with everyone I know. It's like an epidemic.

We are getting ready for a trip to Michigan in July to see all our old friends and spend time with our kids and other family there. I can hardly wait. There is to be a family reunion for my family and my husbands as well, so we will get to see people we have not seen in a long time. Looking forward to much fun and relaxation at the lake where our son camps. The next 2 months will go by slowly I am sure.

Boy, life sure is not fair sometimes. Please continue to pray for Leona. Cullen lost his battle with cancer today. They were both great neighbors and I am not sure whether she will be staying on here or not. Just not a good day today.

Hope you like this card it is one of my fav's. Great for young people getting married now, it's so un-traditional. No one seems to like traditional anymore.

Silouette Sentiments

We are having a fabulous time with our oldest son this week. He surprized us by just dropping in from Michigan last Saturday. What a wonderful Easter surprize. He and his Dad have been all over the bay, in the fishing tackle shops and I think on every fishing pier in San Diego. I am so glad I have a week off from workshops and classes and can just enjoy family.

Just remember the Occasions Mini is only good for 3 more days but the Summer Mini goes active on Sunday. Woo hoo!!! I just love it. I can't get enough of the DSP's and I have most of the stamp sets already. The new 3 in 1 punch design is awesome and I have already made some cards using them. It will be a great summer!!!

This is another card from our April card class. I love the in colors and I am so glad they will be with us another year. Can't wait to see what will be added this July for our new incolors. Stampin' Up is just an awesome company. I'm so happy to be part of them.

Just Believe

Good morning! I hope it will be a good day. I see the Dr this morning and hope she takes the pain away.

We had a great card class on Saturday and one came yesterday to do the cards because her little girl was sick on Saturday. I have three more coming this week to do them also. We just have a good time sharing together. So if you live in my area and would like to have some fun in March, remember my card class is the 3rd Saturday and my Big Shot class is the 4th Sunday of every month.

I am looking forward to three workshops in March. I can't believe the difference Sale-a-bration makes in the workshops. To bad we don't have it more than once per year. I am also looking forward to promoting this month.

We also have a great offer from Stampin' Up right now until March 31st. You can become a demonstrator for 15% off the kit price (148.75) instead of $175, plus you will receive a $50 bonus kit for free! What a deal!! You can sign up on my store website by clicking on the circle to the right of this post.

Supplies used to make this card were:

Just Believe stamp set, Wild Wassabi, Perfect Plum and Whisper White cardstock, Wild Wassabi and Perfect Plum Markers, 5/8" Pear Pizzazz Satin Ribbon, Basic Rhinestones, the Ornament Punch, Big Shot with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder and Stampin' Dimensionals.

Simple but very pretty. My one lady wanted me to help her make a Wedding card that she had already gotten the supplies for from the "m" store, and when she saw the Vintage Wallpaper Folder she asked if I could put that in her card. We made a gorgeous Wedding card and she was so happy.

Thanks for stoppin in and hope to see you again real soon.

Hugs,

June

SHADOW BOX

I decided to try another Shadow Box card. I learned how to make these in Laurie Gibsons card class and hadn't been brave enough to try one on my own until now. I think it turned out rather nice. Gor-ge-ous! I got the color inspiration from Curtain Call Act 34. At first I didn't know about that Dusty Durango, however I've decided I rather like that different look in there. Thanks Stacey I would never have put these colors together without you.

I started with a Whisper White 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 card. I then layered it with Sahara Sand 5x5 that I ran through the Big Shot with the new Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder. The Dusty Durango is 2 1/4 x 3 3/4 and then layered with Whisper White 2 x 3 1/2. The sentiment and flowers are from the new stamp set, Elements of Style and are stamped in Basic Gray. Then I found some dsp that was Sahara Sand with little white leaves and flowers and it looks almost silvery in person. I thought Wow! I would really like that on the top, but it was too filmsy to stand up like it should. So, I got out my anywhere glue stick and put it on a piece of Whisper White 5 x 5 1/4 and glued it to my dsp to make it stronger. Worked like a charm! I then ran that through the Big Shot with the Clear Circle Die, scored each side at 1/4 and 1/2, used the Scallop Trim Border Punch on the top and bottom and Wal-la, I have a shadow box. I then made two roses with the Big Shot, the Floral Fusion Sizzlet and Rich Razzleberry cardstock. I put them together with glue dots and put a pearl in the center of each and cut a leaf with the 2-step Bird Punch out of Basic Gray and it's finished. I really love it, hope you do too.

Thanks for stoppin in!

Have a Blessed Day!

JUST BECAUSE

It has been another beautiful Sunday even though it's cooler than normal here right now. We were taken to the 94th Aero Squadron Restaurant in Mira Mesa for a Champaign Brunch this morning for Father's Day. Our son will be out of town next week-end and he wanted to take his Dad out for Father's Day so we did it early. Oh so good food! We certainly appreciated and enjoyed it.

The following card was inspired by a color challenge at Create with Connie and Mary this week. I would never have chosen these colors on my own. I usually use more subdued colors, I never used many Bright Bolds. So this was a real challenge for me, but I really like my card and am sure I will be using more of the Bright colors this year. Thanks so much 'girls'.

I started with a Brillant Blue card and layered it with Green Galore. I then cut a piece of Summer Sun and punched it with the Scallop Border Trim Punch. Then I tied a strip of Bermuda Bay Polka Dot Ribbon around the two layers. Next I took my Bermuda Bay layer and ran it through the Big Shot with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder. I couldn't decide on what I wanted for a focal point on that and then remembered I had the Daisies #2 Bixz Die that I had not used yet. Oh My! I love it in Summer Sun. It is so fibrant in person. I then put a Rhinestone Brad from the Fire Circle group in the center. I just love it.........it is so gor-ge-ous!!!

Thanks for stoppin!

Have a Blessed night!

FILIGREE FLOWERS

I love these Filigree flower shaped brads. They dress up a card so nicely. The inspiration for this card came from Taylored Expressions Challenge for this week. I am just making it under the wire. It's due at 8am and it's just after midnight.

The colors I used were Soft Suede, Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry and Whisper White dotted with Soft Suede and a stamp from Itty, Bitty, Backgrounds. This is a color challenge from Pals Paper Arts for this week. I used the Coluzzle (retired) for the circles, Bermuda Bay Polka Dot Ribbon, Filigree Brads, the 1 inch circle punch , the Big Shot with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder and the stamp sets Dear Friends and Vintage Labels. Very cute but on the simple side. I love it, hope you do to.

Thanks for stoppin in!

Have a Blessed Friday!

NEW THINGS

Here I am with another challenge entry. This card was inspired by the Sweet Sunday challenge for this week. I sure enjoy these challenges, they really are increasing my creativity. I suggest everyone get in at least one but you would probably enjoy even more. I know I do.

For this card I used Chocolate Chip for the main card. The first layer is a 3 x4 piece of Pretty in Pink run through the Big Shot (you really need this) with the new texture impressions folder called Vintage Wallpaper. It is gorgeous in person. The next layer is a 2 1/2 x 4 3/4 piece of Soft Suede run through the Big Shot with the Polka Dot textured impressions folder. Then I layered a piece of Whisper White 2 x 3 1/2. Next I stamped a piece of Pretty in Pink 1 7/16 x 1 7/8 with the friends sentiment from Vintage Vogue and on a piece 1 7/8 x 1 7/8 I stamped a quote from the New set Occasional Quotes ( your going to want this). I put my piece of Chocolate Chip 5/8 inch ribbon around the soft suede and pink before putting on the card with dimensionals. I stamped the two flowers from Vintage Vogue on Whisper White with Melon Mambo and cut them out. I used Melon Mambo ink for everything to give it some contrast. I then punched a hole in the center of the flowers with the 1/16 inch hand held hole punch (non SU) and inserted a 1/4 inch brad from the Sending Love Chocolate Chip collection (former mini catalog). I adhered them to the card with a dimensional.

I love how it came out and hope you do to. I want everyone to get inspired to create.

Thanks for stoppin in!

Have a Blessed Day!
