Seasonal Whimsy......

I just LOVE all of the WHIMSY stamp sets!!
I have been so busy packing for our move to Georgia.......

my cutter, adhesive and anything else I use to make cards with!!

Thanks for stopping by!!!!

You want to know why I'm Moving to GA??

We lived in GA in 2004-2006 and since we moved back here to Minnesota(2006-now)

my hubby's has made $30,000 less a year!! We just can't make it here in MN.

My Stampin' Up! Business was much busier in GA then MN. In the 2 years we have lived here (MN) I have not done 1 Workshop!!! MN is very saturated with Stampin' Up!

Demonstrators. There is one on every street corner!

My Stampin' Up! Upline is in GA, so I am so excited about going to meetings again!!

And my hubby's family is in GA. And did I forget to mention...

IT'S WARM!!!!!! NO SNOW or BELOW 0 WEATHER!!!

So there you have my reasons.......

Here is a card I made a few days ago.

I know the picture is a little blurry sorry my camera is still broken!

Here is a card I cased from the February Stampin Sucess! It's a 3X3 size card. You start with a 6x3 hunk of real red textured card stock and score in half. I used my spiral punch in the upper right corner. I used cameo Coral card stock cut at 1x3 layered under my 2.5x3 piece of DSPaper Ginger Blossom. I stamped my saying from my "Many Thoughts" SAB stamp set. I layer it with my Scalloped Punch using more DSPaper Ginger Blossom. I plan on using this card layout at my February Stamp-n-Stack! If you get a chance I would try this layout!! Super Easy!

1st SWAP of the YEAR!!!!!
Well I joined my 1st SWAP of the year! I have been taking a break
from swapping since last September.
SWAP's are very time consuming and after I packaged up 2 FULL boxes
of out dated swaps I decided I needed a break!
I have decided that I love swapping and need to not sign up for so many swaps.
This swap is a NEW CATALOG swap with NEW STAMPS & ACCESSORIES!!!
Did I mention How much I love our NEW catalog??
It's so awesome, new stamps, paper, accessories( rub-on's, glitter, beads & new ribbon)
I used the new stamp set Celebrate Everything on page 142
I also used our NEW DSPaper Ginger Blossom!!
and of course River Rock Ribbon!
I love the color combo used with this paper....
Rose Red & Cameo Corral!!!
This looks so awesome, I just want to EAT this paper combo!!!
It's great for Valentines Day!!!
Does it make you hungry for candy??
