Chest

This chest pattern I got from inkingidaho.com
I was not sure I could do it but it turned out to be easy. I used a "no name paper" (because I do not have many sheets of 12x12.)  I made 2 of these in one day. I gave one to my daughter-in-law Brenda for my grandson's room......I think it probably never got there. I really liked making these, but next time I make it, I am going to do it in white......now if my order will come......

Exploding Boxes

This pattern my sister sent me. I think she got it from a friend of hers. This project was fun and easy. As you will see I used some Stampin up paper for the box on the right and a "no name paper" for the other. Also I used someother "no name paper to make the baby one that is open. These boxes are ment for putting pictures in so you can have a "photo/ scrapbook on your desk to share with friends. The day I made these boxes, I made 10. That is how easy they are.

Card Day

This was Card Day ......... I used " Love bug" for the card on the left. What a cute stamp. I wanted it to look like the mommy bug was pushing the baby. The other card was done with the "Voila" stamp. I just love this guy and you can do so much with him. I like the brads too.

Envelope Day part 2

This was also done on envelope day. These I did with "Patterned Pines" and embossing powder. I sealed the envelopes and cut them in half. I also put the bottom half through the crimper after I stamped on the trees. These can be used for money envelopes. I found this on the "stampin' up "WOW " DVD that I got when I became a Stampin' Up demonstrator. It has lots of great tips on it.

Envelope Day

This was the day I made envelopes all day.
I used " Sending Happy Thoughts" and " A Little Bit of Happiness" to make the envelope with the flowers and " Sending Happy Thoughts" and Petal Pizzazz" for the leaves. I really enjoyed coloring them

I have been busy working with the Stampin' Up "My Digital Studio" software. It is so much fun. I made a scrapbook that I sent as a movie to some family members. It wasn't that good because I only had a few pictures of Cooper to play with. It is a start and with more pictures and time to make more pages, I will be able to print a whole book through Stampin' Up's printing service. I am working on my certification for "My Digital Studio" so here is my first digital card.

What to do next

While I wait for my kit and order to come in I needed to find something to do. Went on stampin' connections, a website for stampin' up demonstrators.
This is the project I cased from Karen Philip's video site A card wallet. What a great project. She said to put business cards in it but you can also put a gift card in it to.

As for my basket, I used the Stampin' up big shot die 115965 Fancy Favor.
My sister said to save the piece that is at the edge of the "throw a way paper"
and make the handle. WHO KNEW???
The other pictures are of us on Derby Day. My mother wanted us to wear hats for the day. These were hats from my Aunt Polly's and my mother in laws closet. They came to me after they passed away.Sorry we look funny.....we may have had one...or two
