Open Sleigh is a handsome stamp set that I made use of last year for several card projects.  Came up with this antique-looking card and was pretty happy with myself   this set #126462

What can I say about Beautiful Season?  I will miss you beautiful friend!  Be sure to get your set now.  sorry my sample is such a lousy picture   #122682

Snow Much Fun has been a great traditional snowman set and I must say, I've done some pretty cool things with it...this not being one of them!  Not sure who designed this cute card but I thought you would like it.  #122562

Another very pretty Christmas stamp is Bells and Boughs (the Peace on Earth words are not included)  #121142

Jolly Bingo Bits is a very handy stamp set to have....used for so many different things..tags, cards, envelopes and even Bingo cards and travel tic tac toe games.  #121187

Last but probably my all-time favorite....Come to Bethlehem

Here's a card I haven't posted because once again, I didn't make it.  It's made by Lisa Foster and is absolutely beautiful.  She added our Glass Glitter as an accent. Get your stamp set now before it's gone: #120591

Retiring Stamps 1

Aviary is one of my favorite stamp sets...so whimsical, so pretty and feminine. 

It's going away so be sure to get your's before June 2nd.  #120462

 

I did not design these gorgeous cards and I'm not sure who did all these cards but the one below is by Sarah Gough at www.thinkingstamps.blogspot.com

Photo organizers continued.

 

 Here are 2 of the other photo organizers I made. I got this idea from a brilliant swap I got in Fiji made by Jan House!  Thank you Jan.
I used the clear stamp cases #119105. NOTE: I sewed everything together because I didn't want to risk getting glue on the photos (these pockets were to hold 8 each of 6 different poses)

View: the inside without pictures (above right) and then finished with pics and ribbons...right.
I used Baja Breeze and green polka dot dsp from the Sunshine and Sprinkles  #126922

Directions:
1. Inside Vanilla piece 7"X10 1/2", scored at 5 and 5 1/2"
2. 6 pieces of Baja Breeze cut 5 1/2"X4 1/4". Score at one end ot 1/4". Opposite end is cut with a framelit and embossed with a design
3. Pockets are cut from dsp, 3 1/4"X2 1/4". They are sewn on 3 sides on each piece of Baja
4. Sew each of the Baja pieces on from the bottom one to the top one (sew on the 1/4" score line)
5. Adhere to the inside with one piece of sticky strip on left side only

 Here's a close up of the front...wanted to give you a sneak peek at our new candy dot brads...actually I didn't use the brad part, just the pre-glued candy dots...easy peasy!
AND, the saying at the bottom has 2 of our brand new designer buttons.
NOW, going Bye, Bye: the little boy pulling the wagon...Little Friends #122667 will be going away by next month

Hand-made photo albums for wallet size photos

Kale turned a year last week.  We celebrated on Friday night.  My son brought the pictures they had taken previously so that I could cut them apart.  There were 22 different poses in wallet size. I thought, 'how in the world would Beth keep them all straight'...and my creativity started to bloom.  I would make her something to keep them separate.  There were 3 sets of 6 that coordinated, then these 4 that went together.  So I started with this set.

Directions:
1. Cut a 12X12  piece of Baja Breeze CS and cut it 5"X12".
2. Score it at: 2 7/8", 3 1/8", 5 7/8", 6 1/8", 8 7/8", 9 1/8" on the long side and 1 1/2" on the short side

Here's the front view.  I used our Storytime DSP  #126907 to decorate it.


Kale loved opening his gifts!  He knew exactly what it was all about.  Beth sat him on top of this last gift from all of us on Tyler's side (a small sliding board). He sat there and laughed at everyone like it was expected of him.

Bloomin' Bouquet Teacher's Gift

This was set to go out to you while I was in Fiji...so sorry, just realized today that it never posted. Teacher's Day. Teacher appreciation. Just because. Say thank you with this no-maintenance bouquet. There’s no watering, no weeding—just enjoying. This easy-to-assemble kit comes complete with the petals, stems, and buttons to create the flowers, as well as four different tags to make this the perfect gift for any occasion. All you need is some paper, ribbon, or a vase to add the finishing touches to the bouquet.

As if that weren’t enough, the kit contains a “baker’s dozen”! This means you can create and give (or keep) a dozen flowers, and have a bonus flower left over to pass along to someone new! Give it to someone you wouldn’t normally think of: a teller at the bank, a grocery store clerk, or the librarian at your local library. Anyone you encounter on your way that you’d like to give a little “thank you” to.

Bula! From Fiji

After travelling for about 24 hours, we finally arrive at our destination.  16 hours in the air!

 

Here are my swaps for the trip.

 On another very important note: Tyler and Beth's Cutie Pie turns a year this week.  Briana took these pics of Kale.

 Kale isn't very happy with her cause she wouldn't let him eat the daffodils!  love that pouty little face!
