Punch Fun...

Okay, so I saw this Punch Fairy on StampersXpress and thought I would reproduce it and try a couple other designs. I'm working on my Mom's Hawaii Scrapbook and thought a Hula dancer would be fun and a Ballet Dancer might be fun too. Each one is made with SU! Punches. I love them, they are so versatile. Sorry for the blurry images, my camera is acting funky. You will be seeing these images soon on cards and other creations.

Happiness Pail...

Every time I go to Target I scour the Dollar Bin for cute things to use for stamping. Today I found this cute pail. I came home and opened up some rub-ons and this is what I came up with. Contact me for more Information.

Private...

A Day at the Park...

These pictures were taken a couple of weeks ago during Spring Break. My friend Jenn invited us to go to the park with her Daughter Sierra's Preschool Class. It was so much fun! We met them at Harry Griffin Park in La Mesa and played for a couple of hours.

Name Frame...

I made this for my Hostess at her workshop. It's really for her Son who is just one of the cutest kids alive. He has the chubbiest cheeks and the sweetest smile known to man.

Spoons...

I was busy stamping some cards today, and all of a sudden I heard a noise coming from the kitchen. I got up and went in there and this is what I saw. Aurora is always carrying around baby spoons I'm always afraid that she's going to fall and shove them down her throat. I thought that I had hid them well enough. I guess not.

Handmade Home Decor...

The Project for May's Stamp Camp is this super cute home decor project that was shown to us at the Stampin' Up! Anaheim Regional. I love the diversity of it. You can also use the words: fall, noel, spring, summer, or anything else you can imagine. This particular one is reversible. Check out my Calendar of Events on my Demo Website for more details.
