I am so excited to be a Princess! And so very excited to have a castle on The Royal Blog Tour! I hope you enjoy your stay here. I have chosen the stamp set Crazy For Cupcakes to be my featured stamp set. I like this set it is very veratile good for women, men, children & even your favorite pet! I would love to hear your comments. Also at the end of this post is all of the information about the BLOG CANDY I am offering!

After you have seen all there is to see you can board your coach and continue down this Royal Path by clicking on one of the ruby glass slippers below."

 

This is a great birthday card, It features Melon Mambo cardstock, Perfect Polka Dot embossing folder and the Pinking Hearts Border Punch.

 

 

 
This is a Fancy Favor Box cut out with my Big Shot die cut machine. It makes everything so easy!

With this die you can make birthday, wedding or baby shower favors so quick you won't  believe it!

 

 

I wanted to change it up a bit so here is my little birdhouse card added the baloons from Crazy for Cupcakes printed a saying on My Digital Studio and I was set to go!

The saying says "A Little birdie told me it was your birthday"

 

 

This idea just popped into my head, and the Pretty in Pink Satin Ribbon just makes it pop!

My friend Karen said I could not use Crazy for Cupcakes for a man! Well what man turns down chocolate chip cookies???

This one is really just SWEET!

Made from the Large Scallop Circle die and my Big Shot!

Too cute!

Homework Assignments

I hold a Stamp Club meeting every month. We get together and make 2-3 really cool projects. This time when I started a new club I explained that I would be assigning HOMEWORK! Yes I heard some groans!  Then when they return the next month  we do  a show & tell.

In April I gave everyone a Always Artichoke Fancy Favor box cut with my Big Shot. They could do anything they wanted with it. Here are the results. They came out AWESOME!

   
 
 
   

 This was so exciting! I somehow lost one picture and I am sorry to that person. 2 others were not able to participate. But hopefully in May we will have 11 samples of SOMETHING made with a piece of Hodgepodge Hardware that I gave everyone. Now I did make one of these boxes also to give the Club Members some inspiration but I showed that in a previous post if you look back a few you will see it.

I hope you have enjoyed this & I look forward to next month.

ALSO remember The Royal Blog Tour starts in a few days see the left column. You will not want to miss this! It is a huge event!

Celebration Invite

No it's not a Sal A Bration invite. Sale A Bration 2010 is now officially over. But this is a invitation a friend asked me to make for her. She wanted something fun. I wanted to make something sparkly & bubbly so this is what I ended up with. I free handed the Champagne glass. But I think its not too bad despite that!

 

So let me know what you think of this card.

Easter Fun!

A friend & I got together for a crafting weekend. We made a whole lotta differnt things. This is one of them. It was a lot of fun & this little project is so quick & easy with the new Stampin Up Milk Carton die.  So many things you could put in these little guys.

So Sweet!

 

Pretty Easter

I  just think this Chocolate Bunny card is a very pretty reminder of days gone by. It reminds me of when my mom used to make my clothes and for some reason she thought I should wear pink frillies when I was happier in jeans & dirty t-shirts!

I will sadly miss this bunny when he is retired at the end of March!

At least his ear will not be bitten of like they used to be when I was little!

Enjoy and Have a Happy Easter!
