A Little Break...

I've taken a little break this week to spend some extra time with my children. I took my daughter shopping for a new dress & this was her first time actually trying clothes on in the fitting room! She had soo much fun, I'm sure she's looking forward to the next time we get to do this!

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you had a great week...I know I did!

Seriously!?!

The very first time I saw the new Ronald McDonald House Charities stamp set in the 2015-2016 Annual Catalog, I knew I had to try something different than what was 'expected' with this awesome set!
Then my Upline posted a pic of an upside-down ice cream cone...asking if anyone had tried it yet, I knew what I was going to do!
This design went through many changes in my head before I even started working on it...& then a few more changes once I had the supplies in front of me!
 
The 'Seriously' stamp is one of my favorites from my many Paper Pumpkin kits!
I LOVE my exclusive stamps that come in my kit every month...even if they are a surprise!
If you don't know about Paper Pumpkin Monthly Kits, they're ON SALE right now too! Enter SAVE50 in the Promo space when you subscribe & you will get your first 2 months at 50% off! (Offer expires June 10, 2015)
These colors are way more amazing in person! I used 2 of the New In Colors that are coming soon...Mint Macaron & Watermelon Wonder, along with a classic - Chocolate Chip!
(I'm sorry my pictures are soo dark...I really need to work on a better set-up for my photos.)
Having a baby in the NICU & almost needing to use the services that the Ronald McDonald House Charities offer, I always support them when I can! Stampin' Up! gives $3 of each Sprinkles of Life stamp set purchased directly to RMHC!
Bonus: you get an awesome stamp set too create beautiful this with!
(Here's my little man last year when he was just 1 day old!
He's almost 14 months old now!!)
If you need a supply list for this project, just let me know!
(I will try to get it up soon, but I'm too excited to do that right now...I just wanna share this card!)
 
Please remember to use Hostess Code BVWMRZKC when you place your order.
The New In Colors, Sprinkles of Life and the coordinating punch are only available to Demonstrators right now, but I'd love to have you Join My Team & get yours in your Starter Kit! (Contact me if you have any questions!)

Graduation Challenge! #TGIFC03

 Just a quick Graduation card for the #TGIFC03 Challenge this week!
 
I had no one to send Graduation cards to this year, so I hadn't made any in a while... I wanted to do something classic looking...so this design was born!
 
(I love it soo much that I may make a few for my first vendor event in June...even though most graduations will be past by then...maybe someone will want one for next year or someone they forgot to send a card to!?!)
 
I used a Gold Glimmer Brad, but I dipped it in Versamark ink, embossed it with gold embossing powder & then dipped it in the gold glitter while it was still warm!
Gotta love the SHIMMER!!!!!
I also hand-made the tassel with white Baker's Twine. Very difficult to do with such a teeny tiny tassel, but soooooo worth the work! (I will find an easier way to make these if I decide to do more than just a handful of them...) 
 This close-up is just to show the glitter (top stripe) vs the glimmer paper (bottom stripe & stars). I did burnish the glitter into some Sookwang tape...I think that helps it look a little nicer & it doesn't get caught on everything & fall off as easily.
 
Supply list is below. Be sure to ask if you have any questions!
