On a Vintage High!

Dang! My day got past me again.  I spent a good portion of my day hopping around different Antique stores today.  Actually, I've been on a vintage high because I've been doing a lot of Vintage/Antique shopping for the last 3 days.  YIKES.  I've been working on the Piano room and I'm pretty excited that it's almost complete.  Infact, today I bought a beautiful chandelier to finish the room.  WHOA! Here are a few pieces that came together over the last few days. 

We finally finished the wall with all kinds of Vintage frames that we found at Estate Sales.  They were super cheap except for a few.  The shutter above the Piano is not complete.  I actually have another shutter to add and it has to be moved.  Plus, I can see a beautiful banner across the shutter… Can YOU?  Moving the shutter doesn't make the Prince happy.  Oops.  He can't complain though. He is on restriction from buying Piano Rolls.  We finally found a piece to hold all the piano rolls and we still need MORE space. YIKES. He went shopping by himself yesterday and got in more trouble.  LOL.  He bought a Victor Victrola.  I think that's the name of it.  Ut-Oh.  It sounds like that anyways.  It works and we love it. 

I have more treasures to share later this week.  We are really excited that the room is coming together.  It's been so much fun designing it. 

I spent the rest of my day cleaning my stamp room. I'm not sure how any of my customers have survived in this room. It's a dust pit. I've done an overhaul on the dust bunnies and I think I've captured them all for today. 

I wanted to share a card I made for my Stamps in the Mail participants during the last round.  This was a bonus card that I shared with them.  I loved using this stamp set.  We made tons of fun cards.

The stamp set is the Rue Des Fluers.  So Vintage and SO pretty.  You can see I used that beautiful Sale-a-Bration DSP on this card.  I hope you were able to pick up plenty of this paper.  It's just beautiful.  Below you will see the products I used.  I hope you enjoy it. 

Have a GREAT week.

On the Go Today!

I'm totally on the go today as I finish up last minute preps for my Open House and Free Valentine Make n Take for tonight.  Thought I'd share another fun favorite of mine today.  This little card was made with our White Note Cards.  They are the best and I use them ALL the time.  I made a bunch of these little tea thank you's for Alexis Birthday Thank You's. They were easy to make and fun.  Hope you enjoy.

I used the Tea Shoppe Stamp set along with the Twitterpated Designer Series Paper.  Love these colors and I love Blush Blossom.  Super pretty and soft. 

You can find all these great products in my Online Store.

Have a TEA-RIFIC Day!

XOXOXO

Simple and Little

Normally these two words never go together.  It's usually difficult and BIG, meaning problems.  Today however I want to share with you a fun stamp set and a way to make simple little cards that you can mail.  A staple product in my stamp room are Stampin' Up!'s Whisper White Note Cards.  I have my fingers crossed that one day they will come out with these in Crumb Cake, Vanilla, and maybe even Confetti.  Wouldn't that be FUN??? Anyhoo, the Note Cards are a staple in my stamp room because they are a smaller canvas to stamp on meaning less time and you CAN mail them.  I think a lot of people think you cannot put these in the mail.  Yes sir re bob, you can!

Let me share…

This stamp set is called Button Buddies.  Seriously the cutest thing.  If you are a Button lover like myself, this is one way you can really use those buttons and stop them from collecting dust bunnies. Let me share two cards I made using this set.

Both cards are simple stamping with added embellishments.  The Flower was rock n rolled using Daffodil and Pumpkin Pie ink onto Whisper White cardstock then punched out using our 2" Circle punch.  I layered the Circle punch onto my new favorite scallop die cut….

This is the Perfect Pennants Bigz Die.  LOVE IT! I love these scallop circles.  Really, must have product.  You can check it out more in my Online Store. Both of the stamped images were layered using this scallop.  I added our new Mini Brads to the Piggy card and then a cute button.  Super simple! 

So, if you are like me and live that CRAZY chaotic life but still need to send lots of cards to those who you just LOVE…. pick up a few packs of these awesome little Note Cards today.  You will not be sorry. 

Have a super fabulous Monday. I'm off to work on a schedule…. YES…. CLASS schedule.  Also putting the finishing details for Stamps and Scraps in the Mail. 

P.S. I'm glad I'm not the only one scared of the Dentist.  <wink> 

XOXOXO

New Video and Chubby Bird

I have a video for you tonight! Yea!  I wanted to show you how I did some of the elements on this CARD from yesterday.  It was so much easier than writing it all out.    I hope it's easier for you, too!  Here is the video, Enjoy!

In other news…

Today was one of those days that just didn't go as planned.  Russ and I had planned to go shopping for a new ride for me.  All of a sudden he didn't feel well and ended up sleeping most of the day.  He even ran a high temp.  It was really crazy.  He took some medicine and started feeling better.  At least well enough to join us down in the stamp room to work on Valentines for the kids.  It was a family affair.  Here is the family in action:

Whatever it takes to get 60+ Valentines done, we can do it. 

Lastly, I wanted to share my chubby bird card. 

I love the Bontanical Gazette DSP and I just love the bird on this DSP.  So beautiful.  I wanted this image to be seen on this card so I cut the paper just right so the chubby bird could be seen.  The sentiment came from the Engraved Greetings stamp set.  This is a set that you can get for FREE when you spend $50.  It's in the back of the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  I love this set.  Love how it fits inside the Decorative Label punch.  I added some of the Crumb Cake Seam Binding and the Victoria Lace.  So pretty.  It's really a simple card with just a few sweet elements. 

I hope your weekend is amazing.  Looks like this weekend will be more laid back than planned.  It's okay. 

XOXOXO
