My Friend Magnets

Today's post features some magnets that I made recently. I started with the spiral notebook page die and kraft cardstock both from PTI. Next I stamped the script stamp from Glitz Design in white pigment ink and my friend from PTI's Botanical Silhouettes in black. For the finishing touch a used the Beautiful Blooms ll set 1 dies to cut out some fabric flowers and finished it off with a button center.



Here is a close up of the magnet.

The scallop borders are from the scallop edge dies by A Muse Studio and the larger label is a die from My Favorite Things and the smaller die is from A Muse Studio's Vintage Labels set. I also used the matching stamp set to stamp the border on the die cut piece. The sentiment and leaves are from A Muse Studio's Friend to Friend set and the felt flower is from the mini rose die from My Favorite Things.

Basketball Birthday

Sorry for my lack of posts last week but I do have a card to share today. It's the card I gave to my nephew at his birthday party last night. He just finished basketball camp so I thought a basketball card would be appropriate. I used Papertrey Ink's Have a Ball set for the basketballs and Faux Ribbon to create the striped background on the navy panel. To create the grid pattern on the Co'ordinations piece I used my scorpal and then sanded the piece to try and bring out the grid details. I also used my scorpal to create the lines on the cream piece, distressed the edges and added some Vintage Photo Distress Ink with a sponge. The sentiment is a rub-on from Deja Views.

I hope your week is off to a great start. Thanks so much for stopping. Happy Stamping!

Graduation Party

My nephews graduation party is this afternoon and I said I would bring bars but I didn't get to them until this morning. So far, I have one pan cooling on the counter and a second pan in the oven. Next up is lemon bars but I thought I would take a break and work on my blog post first since the party isn't until 2.

In honor of Aaron's graduation, I thought I would post a couple more graduation cards that I made. The cap on the first card is from the congradulations set by A Muse Studio and the rest of the stamps are from Papertrey Ink.





Thanks so much for stopping. Hope you're having a wonderful Saturday. Happy Stamping!

Happy Anniversary

Today my husband Jerry and I will celebrate our 11th Wedding Anniversary. Our wedding was a small ceremony at the family cabin surrounded by close friends and family. It's been a great 11 years and I hope we have many more wonderful years ahead!

Here's the card I made for him. I know it's flowery and frilly but I think he'll be ok with that considering it's an anniversary card. I used Basic Grey Sulty papers with a Kraft card base. The stamps and ink are from A Muse Studio, Happy Anniversary is from the Essential Sentiments set and stamped with Slate ink and the LOVE was created using the Fancy Alphabet clear set stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa. I also added some KaiserCraft pearls, misc flowers and a Papertrey Ink felt border for the finishing touches.



We're busy today and tomorrow so the anniversary dinner may get rolled into the father's day celebrations which is fine with me. I think we'll have to visit our favorite local Thai restaurant to celebrate.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you all had a wonderful week. Happy Stamping!
