Banner Blast

This card was so much fun to make! The stamp set used to make the banners and the banner punch can each be yours, FREE.  With each $50 purchase you make, you can choose one item in the Sale-a-bration catalog absolutely FREE.  With a $100 purchase, both of these products can be yours.  The punch will also be available in the 2014-2015 annual catalog but you can receive it free until March 31st!

Yesterday I bought a beach towel that has the most gorgeous shades of blues and greens.  I kept looking at it and thought, I should make a card with those colors!  I wanted to throw some Tempting Turquoise into the mix but decided to stick with Pacific Point and Gumball Green. I wrapped some Linen Thread around my Whisper White paper and then adhered my banners to it with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I embossed just the upper half of my card with the Decorative Dots folder (also FREE during Sale-a-bration) and stamped my greeting with the stamp set Sassy Salutations (wood #132070  clear#126707).

Gift Card Holder

Isn’t it scary when something is wrong with your computer?  What the heck did we do without them?   I’m happy to say that my computer problems have been solved by the nice man at the Apple store!

Here is the card I made a few days ago but couldn’t post until now.  My inspiration came from Ronda Wade.  I modified it just a bit and turned it into a gift card holder.  Gift Card Holder

I made my card  using paper from the  Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper that you can get free with a $50 order! You can make three holders with just one sheet of paper.  Here are the measurements:

DSP:  4 x 12   Score at 1- 3/4″ & 7- 1/8″  Use sticky strip to seal up the edges

Front flap:   Basic Gray:  4-1/4″ x 2- 3/4″          Whisper White:  4″ x 2- 1/2″

Piece inside for gift card (I adhered the gift card with glue dots):  3-1/4″  x  5-1/8″       I used my  Small Oval Punch to make it easier to get the gift card out.

My sentiment comes from the set Simply Celebrate.  I love the font that is used to write Enjoy.

Happy Monday!  Here’s a way to brighten someone’s Monday morning!  Make them a sweet bag, like this one, and fill it up with some goodies.   That would put a smile on anyone’s face, even on a Monday!  My bag was made using the Designer Series Paper,  Sweet Sorbet.  This paper can be yours FREE (until March 31, 2014) with a $50 order!

Sweet Sorbet DSP

My sentiment is from the set Yippee-Skippee (Wood 131341  Clear 131344) and I cut it out with one of the shapes in the Starburst Framelits dies from the Occasions Catalog (132967).

Yippee Skippee

I tied it up with our Ruffle Stretch Trim in Crisp Cantaloupe (130021) and Whisper White Baker’s Twine (124262).  My thanks go to Angie Juda for this cute idea!

Have a great day and thanks so much for stopping by today!

Family Time!

It has been a fun week with my family.  My husband, Mark,  our daughter, Jenny, and I  went wine tasting for the first time.  We had a delicious lunch and then did some wine tasting!  IMG_1163 IMG_1161 IMG_1156

Earlier in the week we took our granddaughter to the park.  I love this picture of Mark and Audrey walking up the hill.

Last night Jenny, Erin, Tyler, Audrey and I went out to dinner.  It is always fun to go out!  Audrey was hungry while we waited for our dinner, but she had a good time “coloring” with her crayons and putting them back in the box. So cute, but of course, I think everything that Audrey does is cute!!
