This fun little tag pouch was created using the new Mini Treat Bag Holder.

I created the Bag with the SAB 'Best Year Ever' DSP.......

And designed three coordinating birthday balloon tags for the inside.

I also used some of the 'Best Year Ever' DSP for the bottom of each of my tags.

This is a fun little Birthday/Celebrate treat pouch that you can create in a flash.......And uses just a few new products found in the Occasions Catalog.

Thank You Card -SAB PAPER

Happy Monday My Blogger Friends!

28-Short Days till my daughter arrives!

Okay basketball fans.......Does this look familiar to you?

Well Wisconsin did it this past weekend........

They are going to the FINAL FOUR!

Bucky is heading to Indianapolis next weekend!

And speaking of winners.......
Check out my Doll Baby........



Brook competed last weekend at the Southern Wisconsin Karate Open and she walked home with all of this........ 

OH SO PROUD of my little "Black Belt" Karate Girl.

 



So now on with today's card share.  I have another Sale-a-Bration product to share with you.  This one is using the Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper.  Let's jump right in with today's card share......

How fabulous is the color combination of this card.

I stamped my flower image with Calypso Coral, Pear Pizzazz and Soft Suede ink.

My flowers were stamped with second generation stamping and then punched out with the 7/8" scallop circle punch.

I created two versions of this card ........ One is stamped from the 'full strength' inked image and the second card was using the 'stamped off' inked images to create a slightly softer version of this card.  Two different looks......from only one stamping session.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share my last Sale-a-Bration creation with you .......... Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Note Card Folio Holder

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!
29-Short Days till my daughter arrives!

Today I have a fun little 3-D project to share with you.  It uses the Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper and is the perfect little 'just because', hostess, or birthday gift that you can make.  Let's jump right in with today's project share.

This little note card folio was a creation that my PALS buddy Pam Morris shared with me......And I've spot-lighted it on my blog before.

This folio opens up to reveal two pockets.  I slipped a note card into one of the pockets and an envelope in the other pocket. 

The note card was designed with a fun little 'Best Year Ever' DSP panel......

And I also was able to create a fun little monogram label for the front of my note card.

I just love the color combination of Crushed Curry and our 'Best Year Ever' Sale-a-Bration Designer Series Paper.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share another Sale-a-Bration creation with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

SAB Thanks Card

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!

30-Short Days till my daughter arrives!

As we wind-down with my Sale-a-Bration week..........I would not be doing SAB justice if I didn't spot-light the "Simply Wonderful" stamp set.  

This is one of those cards that just makes me SMILE BIG!

I used the "Best Day Ever" stamp set to get the polka-dots on this card.  And to get various shades of ink......I stamped up my image and stamped several times onto my Whisper White cardstock before re-inking the image.

I cut a banner from the Banners Framelit dies and then stamped my 'Thanks So Very Much' sentiment and punched it out with the Decorative Label Punch.

Think this is a card that can be made in LOTS of different colors and plan to have some extras on hand for those JUST IN CASE MOMENTS!

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share another Sale-a-Bration Creation ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Gift Card Enclosure Pack

Happy Friday My Fellow Badgers Fans!

31-Short Days till my daughter arrives!

Today's card spot-lights yet another use for the Sale-a-Bration Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper.  LOVE LOVE LOVE how this project turned out......Let me share how I made this gift card holder.

This project comes together in a snap with the help of the Stampin' UP! "Gift Card Enclosure Pack Holders" and the Petal Potpourri stamp set.

I ran opposite ends of my gift card holder though the Big Shot with two sides being stamped and two sides being embossed.

The belly band is created with the Best Year Ever DSP and the 1-1/4' Burlap Ribbon.

Here's what the gift card holder looks like with the belly band removed.....

And the gift card holder opened up.

SERIOUSLY LOVE how this project came together.........

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share another Sale-a-Bration creation with you ........... Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!......................GO BADGERS!

You Are Amazing Card

Happy Wednesday My Blogger Friends!

33-Short Days till my daughter arrives!

Okay my friends.......Just SEVEN short days till Sale-a-Bration is over.  I want to dedicate the next seven days to some fun projects you can make......Using product from our Sale-a-Bration catalog.  Let's jump right in with today's card share.......

This sweet little card is the perfect way to use up all those left over pieces of DSP that you just can't bring yourself to throwing out.  (YES......you know who you are!)

All I did was take 5-strips of DSP and snip the ends into flag tails.  I punched out three Bitty Butterflies and added those directly on top of the DSP......

And then I stamped my sentiment onto a circle and matted it to a scallop circle and adhered that directly onto my DSP flags.

I'm thinking that this is one of those pretty cards you can make up and have on hand........When the occasions comes up.......stamp whatever sentiment you are needing onto the circle and you have an instant WOW kind of card!

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share with you another Sale-a-Bration Creation ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Fun With Mary Fish

Happy Tuesday My Blogger Friends!
34-Short Days till my daughter arrives!

Today I have some fun pictures to share with you of my get together over at my good friend Mary Fish's house last Friday.  Check out all this fun.......

We brought our March Paper Pumpkin kits and had some fun creating.

We created the "Sew You" Paper Pumpkin kit.  As a 'group', we did some sewing.....Some card decorating......And thought outside the box so we didn't have to 'sew' all of the projects.

Mary was generous enough to allow us to dig through her stampin' studio and use ribbon, cardstock, pens and lots of stampin' tools.

This was the one Paper Pumpkin card that I created.  I think it just screams a "Kadie" kind of card.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to KICK OFF a final week of Sale-a-Bration card and project shares with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Note Pad Holder

Happy Monday My Blogger Friends!
35-Short Days till my daughter arrives!

The official count-down to Arizona clock has started.  My youngest daughter is graduating from the University of Phoenix on May 2nd and she is going to come to SaddleBrooke with Brooke and stay with us for the week before her graduation.  It's going to be SO MUCH FUN having the both of them here for a week.  

My project share for today is a special little project that my PAL's friend Patti brought with her to our Friday gathering at Mary Fish's house.  Pattti brought all the fixings for us to make this darling little note pad holder.........Check out how cute this project turned out.....

This fun little notebook holds a lined note pad and is PERFECT for taking all kinds of notes.

Patti used her MDS software program to make the fun label for our notebook......

And she was even sweet enough to give us the directions and measurements to complete our project.

Which in turn......I'm going to pass on to you.

Hope you have fun creating one of these darling little notebooks.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share pictures of the fun we had at Mary's house on Friday..........Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Sheltering Tree Card

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!

Today I have another Sheltering Tree sample card to share with you.  It's one that I'm going to be giving to my fellow SW Stampers at our April meeting.  Check out this fun card I created......

I am seriously in love with this stamp set.  There are so many things you can do with this set.

To create the full green portion of this tree.....I turned the photopolymer stamp over and inked it up with some Pear Pizzazz and stamped off on my scrap paper before I stamped the image onto a panel of Whisper White cardstock.  I then cleaned my stamp and turned it over and positioned it onto my clear block in the direction it was intended to be used.  I inked it up again with Pear Pizzazz and then stamped it full strength onto this full green tree image that I had stamped earlier.

One of the last steps I did with the tree was ink up the tree truck with Soft Suede ink and stamped that over my already stamped tree image.  All that was left to do with this tree was to add three Real Red hearts and by adding some Crystal Effects to each heart, I was able to have three shiny little hearts hanging off my tree.

I used the 'Kinda Eclectic' stamp set to create an embossed (Crushed Curry) sun.

And the 'Just Kidding' set was used to create my sentiment.  I grabbed the Project Life dies to cut out my pretty label for my embossed sentiment.

LOVE the way this card turned out ....... and look forward to swapping it in April with my fellow SW Stampin' UP! demonstrator friends.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share with you a fun little project that we made over at Mary Fish's house on Friday .......... Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!
