Stampin' Royalty Challenge!

This week's Stampin' Royalty Challenge was to create a masculine card.  I decided to tie this into my "to do" list again:)  I was working on Joe's invitations for his birthday, and we decided to create them on MDS.  I love how much input he can have without it taking hours to make over and over again as a 7 year old changes his mind:)  The invitation was complete... or so I thought... then he insisted that it would be a whole lot cooler with a motorcycle on it!  I couldn't have agreed more once we added it:)  Today is his actual 8th birthday!  I can't believe that my amazing little man is already 8!

Make sure to stop by and check out the other fabulous samples from the Stampin' Royalty design team!  You'll love them!  Come and share your masculine creations with us!

Waterfall Club Card

I had so much fun creating my club card for this month.  Not only did I realize what a gorgeous colour Calypso Coral is, but I also realized that I had NEVER tried this super fun style of card.  The waterfall card is easy to create and is so much fun to share!  I immediately ordered the Berry Blossoms DSP when the last catalogue came out.  I thought that it was so fun and fresh.  Sad thing to realize that only a week away from the end of the current catty and I hadn't even opened my package!  Needless to say we had some fun with it:)  Fruit & Flowers is such a fun coordinating stamp set for it!  Thank goodness it is staying around!

Second Auction Item:)

As I mentioned the other day, I had to come up with some items for the auction baskets at my boys' school.  My other son's class was assigned the basket theme of "Baby".  I decided that something all new mom's can use it a set of thank you cards for  all the little presents you receive:)  The pink set up top was actually made as a gift for a baby shower last weekend, and the green and yellow set was made for the basket.  I stuck to gender neutral on that:)  You'll be relieved to know that this adorable stamp set made it from the mini to the new catty that is launching in just one short week!

Stampin' Royalty Challenge #125 ~ Colour Challenge

This week's Stampin' Royalty Challenge is absolutely gorgeous!  It made me think of Easter, but with that come and gone, I had to rethink it:)  I've really been enjoying Pinterest recently for the inspiration, and my card was actually based on a sketch that I found on there.  I loved the rounded corners... a definite change from what I'm used to!  Sad to admit, but this was the first time that I've ever used my Blossom Party BigShot Die!  I was thrilled with how easy it was to make that little banner with the new Bitty Banners Framelits that will be available in just ten short days.  Make sure to head over to Stampin' Royalty and check out the fabulous samples from the other design team members.  Come and share your talent with us, and show us how you put these great colours together!

A DOUBLE CASE

I'm sure that many of you have seen the coffee cups out there that are gift card holders.  I absolutely adore them!  In fact, we are making them at Technique Club this month!  I used the amazing video from the Stamping Addict posted here for mine!  This was a little take on those:)

When my boys' school announced that they were in need of items for the auction baskets for this year's carnival, I tried to figure out a way to tie my SU business into it.  Each class' basket has a theme.  My older son's basket has an Entertainment theme and my younger son's basket I'll share with you later this week.

A very talented friend and customer of mine, Eileen Edgar, created a birthday card for her granddaughter awhile back that always stayed in my mind.  She made this adorable popcorn tub filled with popcorn. I decided to tie to the coffee cup idea together with the popcorn tub idea and make up this little gift card holder for a movie gift card that I was donating to the auction.

Just Add Snail

I'm not really a purple person, but I will admit that I'm sad to see the end of Concord Crush.  I was just playing with a bunch of pieces that were left over on my desk after creating.  I always find it fun to try and piece some of things together to make a card.  No work involved other than Snailing:)
