Thank You from Baby

I got a lovely package in the mail Saturday. I knew from the Washington return address that it was from my family- and mail from my family is my favorite type of mail. This kind of special occasion warrants a special thank you, so I sat down at my craft desk right away to design the perfect card to send back to them.

It had to be from my baby, Alexader- since the package was full of gifts for him- immediately I was drawn to the Zoo Babies stamps I have been looking for an excuse to use. Aren't they just adorable with the Alphabet Press embossed background and gold stars?

In would be excited to get a card like this in the mail! I bet Grandma will too!

Frozen Inspired Minis

I am absolutely loving the seasonal catalog! And although it is a little early for Christmas.... I just couldn't help myself.

When I saw the Cheerful Christmas stamp set and the Nordic Designer buttons, I just knew I had to make minis inspired be Disney's Frozen (of course!).  I love how they turned out, and I would love to see what you come up with!

Project Life 'Hi' Card

I am absolutely in love with the new Project Life by Stampin' Up! line. 
If you saw my previous post, Engagement Digital Scrapbook Page, I mentioned that I used the Everyday Adventure brush set from the digital download.  Today's project uses a card from the Everyday Adventure set, in paper rather than digital format.  I love working hands on with projects, not just digital--and Project Life is great for quick scrapbook pages using the pocket-page format.
HOWEVER, I can also see a number of uses for the Project Life line outside of scrapbook pages.  I wanted this card to be fun to look at (and to make!) and be something that could be given for any purpose.
I started with one of the small Project Life cards--a blue one that says HI.  The ombre watercolor effect was super easy to achieve with the new Work of Art stamp set from the 2014-15 catalog and various shades of yellow ink.

I really like how this turned out, and I would love to hear the unique ideas you have come up with for using Project Life cards and accessories!
