Christmas Ornament

The Cat's Pajamas now has dies for the Big Shot!!! If you remember, at one time I was on their design team. I stepped down to pursue other interest, BUT, I still have, and will always have, love for Alma and the team.

So back to the dies, aren't they delicate looking? I used the Snowflake and Apron Border dies on this ornament. Added some bling, Ritz Glitter, and Stampin' Up! Silver Glass Glitter. The ornament base is Marina Mist card stock cut with the Clear Circle Bigz Die. Quick, easy, but oh so elegant.

Hope you are having fun with your Christmas stamping and creating.
Thanks for stopping by!

NEWS TO SHARE

Hello My Friends,

Thought I would show you two more spring release card samples for TCP. It's been cold and rainy here, maybe thoughts and images of spring and Easter might warm you up. The card below is actually a paper cone for candy or eggs. It can be used as an Easter basket.


My news for you is that I have resigned from The Cat's Pajamas DT. It's been a good few years of fun and excitement, and I am blessed to have been a member, but I need to move on. I've got a few things "under construction" and the will need plenty of time to work on them. I will miss the TCP family. The girls are all great and the fearless leader, Alma, is tops. Thank you very much Alma.

TCP SNEAK PEAK - SPRING RELEASE

Hi All,

The Cat's Pajamas is releasing new stamp sets this Friday, February 27th. The DT is having sneak peaks all week. Check out their blogs throughout the week to see all the sneak peaks. You can find links to each DT blog on the right sidebar. Here are a couple of my samples.



Be sure to check out The Cat's Pajamas on Friday to see the three new sets!

Busy Busy Busy

Hello,

How's life treating you? I've been very busy stamping, holding classes, prepping for classes. I'm almost drowning trying to stay caught up!!! BUT, I'm having a blast, a real blast.

We just completed our 7th (or 8th?) Extravaganza at Stampin' From the Heart. What a fantastic day it was. We had 15 - 17 ladies sign-up for this class. Each of the 4 teachers had 4-5 students for one hour and 45 min. The students rotated throughout the day to each of the 4 tables. Each table had really great projects for the ladies to complete. We also served breakfast and lunch. And we can't forget the fabulous goody bag the ladies received, filled with several stamp sets, paper, and other goodies. The bag itself is a large canvas bag, which fits your 12x2 card stock. We all had a great time. Check it out next time! I'll post some pics of the cards Gloria and I did at our table soon.

Do you like the halloween card? It's a quickie, using the Fright Night set from The Cat's Pajamas. Just thought I would share this in honor of halloween. The paper is the Halloween Glitter Stack from Die Cuts with a View. Enjoy!

Thanks for stopping by....now go stamp something!

TCP New Birthday Release

Hi All,

The Cat's Pajamas has some new birthday stamps! As we get older, some of us what to forget that day of the year! I remember hardly being able to wait to turn 13. Just to be a teenager again..... My, how time flies.

Well, the design team for TCP has been very busy. We've stamped up some great card samples and ideas using the new birthday stamps . Check out the gallery on the TCP website.

Here is a note card set I made using the birthday set Smells Like Cake (N-7543). You can see more images on the sidebar. I found the idea on a wonderful blog, but forgot where. Once I find it again, I will definitely edit this post and add the info.

taking off

Well, I've been putting off getting this blogging thing started, but here goes. I know this won't be a daily thing, posting and all, but it will be consistent. Thanks for checking in and come back to visit often.

Here is a card I made awhile ago for TCP.
