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).
Thanks so much for stopping by!

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. 
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.
Wood #133221 Clear #133224

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!
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).
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!

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! 
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!!
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Today I have a card for you using two new products from the Occasions catalog that I used for the first time on this card! The first one is the Arrows Textured Impressions embossing folder (#132187). At first I refrained from buying this folder but after seeing it used to make so many cute cards on the internet, I wanted to purchase it!
The second new item is my sentiment. It comes from the set Simply Celebrate (see below) and it can be purchased in either wood (133221) or clear (133224). I only wanted the “hello” part of the stamp, not the part that says, please take a seat. In order to do this, I put blue painters tape – I had some sitting right there on my craft table but any tape will work – over the part I didn’t want on my card. I inked the stamp up and pulled off the tape before stamping. Have you tried this technique before?
My Crisp Cantaloupe twine is from the Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack, which is a Sale-a-bration freebie and one that you can get FREE with a $50 purchase!

Want to be able to make a quick and easy card? I used the Happenings Simply Created Card Kit and make this card in about five minutes!!! It comes with everything that you see below. I used some Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop up the two banners and adhered the white twine (can you see the pretty silver in it??) with glue dots to the silver button.
My mom has been sick recently so I decided to make this a get well card. My sentiment comes from the set A Dozen Thoughts (wood #131056 clear #131059). The sentiment actually say, better get better, but I wanted my card to just say, get better. So I covered the first “better” with some tape, added ink with my Strawberry Slush stamp pad, took the tape off and stamped on the white banner! Easy!
Thanks so much for stopping by today!!
