I got some gelatos and wanted to try them out...I've got some practice ahead of me.

Thinking of you

 I had some scraps sitting on the desk and used them up to make these cards.

Pink and Love

From yesterday's card I had half of the sparkly heart left over and I didn't want to throw it out.  After a little bit of pondering, this is what I came up with.

Supplies: Stampin' Up - Everything except the Love wooden piece

Wonderful You

At Stampin club today, we were given a bunch of pieces and told to come up with our own inspiration card.  I had decided to wait until I got home to make my card as I didn't know what to do.  Here is what I came up with with the pieces I was given.

Christmas Cards for Teachers

This year I didn't have enough time to really spend on making Christmas cards, so when it came time to get the teacher gifts ready I wasn't quite prepared.  Thankfully today I had a few extra minutes that I could devote to making some cards.  I had recently picked up a new DCWV Christmas stack and it was quite easy to put to use.

SU Paper Pumpkin - November 2013

Since the start of Paper Pumpkin program I have been receiving the wonderful boxes of goodies, however, I never had actually taken the time to make one.  I usually watch for it to arrive and open it right away to see what's inside, but never taken the 30 minutes to create.  Since I hadn't had much time lately to make any cards, I decided to pull it out and give it a try.  What a wonderful kit of supplies!!!!  I made the card as directed, then decided to branch out.
