How cute is this little guy??!!! He was pretty easy to make using the new Hearts Framelits and several punches. I saw him on my upline’s blog, Dawn Griffith. She sent me a smaller version and I knew I just had to make one for myself.
On June 8th, I will be officially retired from teaching. I’ve taught for 22 years and it still seems a bit unreal that in a little over three weeks, I won’t have a classroom. The school I am currently teaching at opened up ten years ago and I was one of the “original” teachers. It will be very sad to leave but I am excited about spending time with my family and the arrival of my granddaughter, Audrey, in September! I’m also looking forward to creating many Stampin’ Up! projects that I will have time to post on my blog!! Yahoo!!
Have a great rest of the week and thank you for stopping by!!

The retired list is out!!! There are so many wonderful sets on this list! Be sure to get your favorites by May 31st because they will be gone forever! You can download the list HERE. One of my very favorite sentiments that is retiring is Short and Sweet on page 166. It fits just perfectly in the large oval punch.
Have a wonderful Sunday!!

I’ve been trying so hard to post on a regular basis but it just has been difficult the past few weeks. The card I am showing you today is going into the mailbox for my son-in-law as soon as I finish this post. My daughter will be visiting us next week but Tyler won’t be able to make it so I am sending him this card along with a gift card tucked inside. I had a hard time making an Easter card for a male that wasn’t too frilly. I did use my scallop circle punch because otherwise I was afraid it wouldn’t be cute enough and I CAN’T have that!!! 🙂
I used the stamp set Everybunny which is in the Idea Book and Catalog. It is a cute set. I used watercolor paper and colored my chick with watercolor crayons after I stamped the image with Staz-On. The sentiment is also from the same set. It actually said,”Happy Easter Everybunny” but I didn’t want the words everybunny so I used my Pacific Point Marker directly over the words Happy Easter directly.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Only TWO MORE DAYS until Sale-a-bration goes away until next year! If you would like to place an order, you can visit my Stampin’ Up! website 24/7.
Take Care,

Hi Stampers,
As promised, here is another card with the same flower that I posted on Monday. I used Lucky Limeade and Pool Party. I would never have used these colors together but they are in the Everyday Enchantment DSP and look so pretty together. It is so funny but sometimes it takes me hours to do JUST ONE CARD. I try so many different color combinations until I decide on the ones I want to use. This color or that, emboss with the Big Shot, ribbon??? These are the questions that go through my mind. I wasn’t sure if I wanted ribbon but as you can see, I went with the crochet ribbon. Still not quite sure if I really needed it. So, if you find that you take an inordinate amount of time for one card, you are not alone!!!
Thank you for stopping by! Hope your week is going well!

Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend and didn’t feel too tired this morning.
My card is one that I am giving to a friend today to thank her for several surprise gifts she has given to me recently. Hope she likes it! I have bling on the sentiment because she LOVES bling!! This was a very easy card to put together. The hardest part was figuring out what colors I wanted to use. The flower was made using my Heart punch and the Everyday Enchantment DSP (if you are in my Hostess Club, we are going to make one of these flowers at our next meeting). Did you notice the cute fabric covered brad in the middle?? It is a sneak peek and you’ll be able to order it on April 1st!!! On Wednesday I will have the same card but with different colors and paper so be sure to stop by!
