The Open Sea

Hello,

How about a masculine card? I struggle when it comes to making a "guy" card. I am so used to making my cards using ribbon, lace, buttons and etc. It was really hard for me not to use ribbon on this card, but Stampin' Up! came out with this Baker's Twine and I love it for this type of card! How fun is this card? The stamp set that I used is called The Open Sea and it is available in wood mount or clear mount. I have seen so many great projects made using this stamp set!


Here is a look at the inside:



Products used on this card:

The Open Sea stamp set, Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set, Curly Cute stamp set, Chocolate Chip card stock, Cherry Cobbler card stock, Crumb Cake card stock, Cherry Cobbler/White Baker's Twine, Word Window punch, Modern Label punch, Metallic Brads and Classic Stampin' Ink Pads.

If you are interested in any of these products, you can shop my on-line store here.

Thanks for stopping by today!
Have a great day!

Scallop Purse Gift Card Holder

Hello,

Have you been enjoying this weather? I love the cooler evenings & cooler mornings! I know that this weather won't last long, being August, but I'm enjoying it while it is here! I got out last weekend and cleaned out my flower beds and trimmed some bushes that had grew a little wild. I have also been enjoying poison ivy from cleaning out the flower beds. (Not fun!)

I wanted to show you this cute Scallop Purse Gift Card Holder that I made to share at my upline's Hostess Appreciation Day. This little purse opens up and inside you can put a gift card, some chocolate, money, etc. These would be cute to give for a Birthday, Baby Shower, Wedding, Graduation, etc. They could be decorated for any occasion!

Stampin' Up! Convention pictures

Hello,

Here are a few pictures from my trip to Salt Lake City, UT. Here are three of my stampin' buddies that went to Convention. (Lisa, Sheila and Emily) I roomed with Lisa and Sheila and let me tell you....we had a blast! Lisa flew to Utah from Texas and this was the first time we met her. She kept all of us entertained the entire trip! My upline Tiffany Bauer was also there with us and she was our photographer. She actually took over 1600 pictures during our trip and she has shared a link for us to view all of them. (Don't worry....I will have more pictures to share! LOL Even pictures of Tiffany :)



We stayed at the Hilton....walking distance to the Convention Center:


Look at the view from our window:


I took the next 3 pictures while on a bus trip to tour Stampin' Up! Home Office. These mountains were beautiful!




Well....I hope you enjoyed seeing my pictures. The weather was warm & beautiful while we were there & then you look and see these snow covered mountains. I loved it!!

Have a great day!
