This is another card I made using the SAB set Friendship Blooms and the rub-ons from SAB. The Designer Series paper is Flowers for You. This is actually a little bit of an odd sized card. I made it 6 3/4" x 3 1/4" but, it will fit in a regular business sized envelope.

Thank You

I was playing with the double stitched ribbon because I realized some of the samples in the new catalog had the ribbon without the stitching so I made these cards and on the one I removed the stitching. It wasn't very hard I just used my paper piercer to loosen the stitches.

The colors are out of the new catalog but the layout is a sample from the old catalog.

Valentine Nugget Tin

I wanted to make some nugget tins for Valentine's Day and I had some Designer Series paper left over from last year so I decided to use it up.

Then, I decided I wanted to play with my new rub ons from Stampin Up. It is kind of hard to see in the picture but I put a row of flowers going up the side and the saying in the bottom right hand corner is "It's a Love thing". This is the new Eastern Elegance rub on set from Stampin Up.

I had to share

This is another non SU stamp set that I own but I think it is adorable. The little dog is holding the snowman's arm in his other hand. I got it at www.allthatscraps.com I think it is a C.C. designs Little Bit Kits. I also used Stickles for the fur around her jacket. This is great stuff if you haven't had the chance to play with it.

The saying on the bottom of the card is "There's no day like a snow day".

More Monkeys

Here is another card I made with the monkeys. I think it will make a really cute Valentine. These are the same Monkeys (Changito) from Stampendous. The card stock is all from Stampin' Up! and the circle is made from a retired set Riveting.

Still Waiting

So, while I am waiting patiently for my new things to arrive from Stampin' Up! I decided to play with some of the other stamps I own. I have had this little monkey from Stampendous for quit awhile now and I just think he is adorable. The papers are some retired Designer Series paper from Stampin' Up! but the card stock is So Saffron.
