A La Card Monkey Challenge #98

A La Card Monkey posted their " We're All Kinds of Happy for Monkey Challenge #98 on Friday March 2, 2012. 

This is a fun sketch with just a couple of elements and ribbon.  Wow, it couldn't be easier!    Here's their awesome sketch:

My version of this sketch was made for a friend's birthday. She's a very elegant lady so I wanted to make something to match her style. 

Here's a full view of the front of the card.  I absolutely love the velour print on the Mocha Morning Specialty Designer Print Paper I've used as a background.  It's so beautiful! 

Closeup of the basic pearls that were added to the Fresh Vintage Stamp Set from the Sale-a-Bration Catalogue.  You can earn this beautiful set for FREE by placing a $60.00 order during the Sale-a-Bration campaign.   

Here's a view of the inside of the card where I'll hand write a personal message.

Cards From Friends and Family

Earlier this month I celebrated my birthday and I was very blessed to receive the following awesome cards from friends and family. I thought I'd share these wonderful works of "heart" along with a few valentines beauties. Enjoy!




This card was made by one of my fabulous downline members, Ethel De Temple.   Ethel features one of my favourite stamps this season, Tea Shoppe see page 19 of the Mini Occasions catalogue.  I love how she centered the large teacup on the scallop square so it looks like a placemat or napkin, and then added the tiny basic pearls and satin ribbon  for adornment.  The lines from the "Stripes" Embossing Folder also add some visual appeal.  Great card Ethel!

Isn't this a gorgeous card? Brenda Rigby Riehle a SU Demo and fellow Late Night Stamper (LNS) sent me these birthday wishes all the way from Belmont, NY. Check out Brenda's blog, she has some awesome cards and projects. http://brendariehle.stampingup.net


Another fabulous stamp set from the Occasions Mini is the Apothecary Art set on pages 24 and 25.  It features 6 stamps that can be layered using the Labels Collection Framelits.  Isn't this a great card design?  I wish you could see it in real life as it's stunning.  This card was made and sent to me by Helen Cummins from Louisburg, Kansas.  Helen is a member of Late Night Stampers.


This lovely card was made by Jody Townsend of Colorado Springs, Colorado.  What a surprise when I received this card.  Jody is a member of Late Night Stampers too. 

Here's a birthday card fom Stampin' Up!.  Yep that's right Stampin' Up! sends birthday cards to all their demonstrators.  That's just one of the great perks, and note the message on the inside of the card below.  You can't beat that for a great birthday present.  I submitted my order this week and got my rewards! 


Betty Lee Moore of Vernon, BC sent me this gorgeous Valentine's Day card.  I loved all the little layered hearts  on this card and the way she layered her ribbon.  Beautiful card Betty Lee and much appreciated!

Here's a great Valentine's Day card sent by my awesome sister Heather.  Those little House Mouse characters are so sweet and so is this card!  Thanks Heather, loved it!

And finally here's the card I made my husband for Valentine's Day. 

Hope you enjoyed this selection of cards and come back to visit again

Holiday Mini - Christmas Stocking Big Shot Die

Good morning everyone!  With the sun shining so brightly here and some of the warmest temperatures expected this last week of our summer, it's a bit hard to think about Christmas decorations and projects.  Nontheless, I want to share some Christmas Stocking creations made by Diane Sisneros using the Holiday Stocking Bigz Die on page 24 in the Holiday Mini, #124098.  Diane has done such a fabulous job on these that I just have to share them.  My next order will be including this die for sure and some of the awesome Designer Papers she's used.  Let me know what you think.  I'd like to know which stocking is your favourite.  Here's the sample and be sure to go and look at all the other stockings she's created.  Just click here.  While you're visiting Diane's site make sure you leave her some love on these projects and let her know you linked from my blog.  Thanks!
