May 2011 Stamp of the Month: Chairs To You

Auction Items

Tomorrow I will be attending a Close To My Heart event for consultants. There will be an auction to raise money for Operation Smile. My friend, Jean, and I worked on some things to donate for the auction. The Cuckoo Clock was decorated with Miracle Paper Pack and the Chest of Drawers was decorated with Sophia.

April Cards

These cards were made by Wendy, another Close To My Heart Consultant, for a Stamp of the Month swap in which I participated. I love the pop of color on each card, and the glitter on the flower. Just in case your not aware of the Stamp of the Month offer here is the scoop!

March Cards

The Stamp of the Month for March has an Easter theme so I wanted to wait awhile before posting. It's an outline stamp that needs to be colored. For my projects I decided to use the blender pen and my ink pads. It gives a soft water colored effect that I really like. The stamps is only available for 8 more days so grab it if you want it!

March 2011 Stamp of the Month: Sensational Season

Sweet Baby Bee

This card was made for Mollie, a coworker that is having a baby. She and her husband decided to wait until the birth to find out if their having a son or daughter. Mollie decided that the nursery will be decked in yellow with a bug theme. So I tried to match with the card! For this card I used the new Irresistibles™ Eclectic Chipboard Die-Cuts to spell baby. They were so much fun to ink up and see the pattern appear!
