Perpetual Calendar Kit

Happy Tuesday My Blogger Friends!

Today the new Occasions Catalog goes live........and this is one of the kits that from the moment I saw it in the catalog.......I knew I would be making one for myself.  Let's jump right in with my share for today.

This is the Perpetual Birthday Calendar Project Kit (page 17) in the Occasions Catalog.

It comes with everything you need to organize your birthday list in a pretty way.  I used the product that came with the kit......and the only thing I needed to add was a couple ink pads.

The only other product I added to my calendar kit was some pearls.

LOVE this month.......

And I made sure that I decorated each of the months with the same theme.

This allowed me to keep each month looking FUN and SASSY.

Have to say that each month looks amazing......

And there is plenty of room to write LOTS of names each month.

Of course.....July was my favorite.

And August has the prettiest colors.

This kit took me less than two hours from start to finish......

And that included writing all the birthday names on each month.

I'm planning to make one of these for each of my kids......

As I just know it's a gift they will really appreciate.

The kits comes with this awesome chipboard sheet and extra large clip........

And by adding some of the Bakers Twine and Sequins to the top of my chipboard sheet.........I was able to really JAZZ it up for sure.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share with you another new Occasions Catalog kit .......... Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Hello Life Kit

Happy Monday My Blogger Friends!

Today I have a darling new Project Kit to share with you.  It's one that will be featured in the new Occasions catalog (page 6)........Which will be released starting tomorrow.  Check out this sweet frame I made........

This kit comes with all the supplies you need to create this sweet frame.....and honestly....it comes together in a REALLY REALLY short amount of time.

I made mine to display pictures of me with my kids........Here's Cheryl!

My Jenni......

And Michael.

This fun little heart shaker was super easy to make.

And here's a close-up look at that shaker element.

The kit also includes some new chalkboard cardstock - that I stamped this perfect sentiment on.

I'm in LOVE with these 5-little banners.......

And the "Love This Life" card is ADORABLE!

The kit also comes with enough yarn to make these fun little Pom-Poms.

And the 3-dimensional hearts that are between each of the Pom-Poms look amazing.

This "Hello Life Project Kit" is SERIOUSLY the perfect little gift to make for someone special that you might know.  I'm SO GLAD I made one for myself.

Banner Blessings Card

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!

Today I have a sweet little card that made for my December downline meeting swap card.  Let me share that card with you now.......

I created a bold banner with the 'Banner Blessings' set.

I used black embossing powder to give my 'thanks' sentiment a real POP.

And added a panel of Whisper White cardstock - Washi Tape and Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine to the straight edge of my banner.

I added several gold sequins.....with a tiny pearl in the center......

And a final touch was adding a single White Tea Lace Paper Doilies to the center of my card.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share with you more new product ............ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Cheerful Critters

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!

Today I have a new product share for you.......but before I jump into my share......I have a darling set of pics to share with you.  Check out my two favorite guys........

Remember Twoie on Christmas morning with his suspenders.......

Well guess what Jack got for Christmas too!

Guess when you are little you need some help keeping your pants up........And when you get older....YOU DO TOO!

Now on with my share for today.  I broke out the new stamp set 'Cheerful Critters' and made these two super fun cards.

I used the new Cheerful Critters stamp set that will be offered in the new Stampin' UP! Occasions catalog on January 6th for my darling focal image for this card. 

This first card uses the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder.....

And here's my second version.

That uses the carry over Stars embossing folder.

Both of my bear critter were colored with my Blendabilities. This one I used the medium shade of Bermuda Bay......

And this one I used the medium shade of Calypso Coral.

I wrapped Bakers Twine around the bottom portion of my stamped image......

And used some Birthday Bash DSP to WOW things up.

And of course.......I used my White Signo Gel Pen to add stitching lines around both my DSP and Critter image.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share with you more new product projects ............ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Advent Calendar

Happy Friday My Blogger Friends!

Today I have a left-over Christmas share for you.  It's one that I did with some of my SaddleBrooke Ranch Gals right before Thanksgiving.   

My good friend Cheri (from the Ranch) taught this advent calendar class.

It's a cute count-down calendar that is done with a cupcake pan.

All we needed to do was arrange 24-colored squares......

Add punched numbers (1 - 24).........

And go crazy with some awesome embellishments that Cheri had put out for us.

We used Designer Series Paper.....Ribbon......Twine......

And of course.......CANDY!

Each cupcake space held a sweet little Hersey Kiss.

And check out this clever way of keeping each DSP square over the opening.  All Cheri did was adhere the DSP onto thin magnetic sheets.

I was planning to take this project back to Wisconsin with me......but turned out that I didn't have enough room in my luggage. SO.....Guess it will be shipped back to the kids next year.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share with you a new product card I made ....... Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Card for Mary Fish

Happy New Year My Blogger Friends!

I just can't even believe it's a new year.  I honestly can say that 2014 pasted in a heart-beat!  I'm hoping you had a fabulous holiday season and your feet are ready to hit the floor running.  Today I wan to share with you a darling card I made for my good friend Mary Fish.  Let's jump right in with today's card share........

How darling is this card!  I used the new "Love Is Kindness" stamp set that is being featured in the upcoming Occasions Catalog.

I made this special little card for Mary as a special little THANK YOU for inviting me over to her house for a PALS gathering.

I used my Stampin' UP! Blendabilities to color in each of these beautiful tulips.......

And added a black frame around my stamped image.

One final touch was adding an envelope liner that coordinated with the DSP panel I put on the front of my card.  This card SERIOUSLY speaks to me of a Mary Fish type of card.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share with you some new product cards .......... Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!
