Nestabilities came in!!

I am so excited I just received my first set of Nestabilites. I purchased the Large Classic Scallop Squares. I had no idea about the tan mat so now I go to get that so that I can emboss... stay tuned for pictures... I am trying to step it up to more elegant cards so I also purchased for my Cuttlebug Swiss Dots. Just love the way it makes cards look so elegant dotted up!!! Stay tunes for pics... I got my order from Hanna Stamps!!! All her punches were on sale for 50%. I understand why... Nestablities is easier and takes up less room...

Hanna Stamps July Release Party!!!

Well today was the July Hanna Release party. I got very emotional!! The Bridal Hanna is so beautiful. I felt like I was in the wedding begging for tissue.. I added Bridal Hanna, Baseball Hanna, and Lazy Hanna to my basket. We had a semi after party where we brought up 70s and 80s trend. I really want Kristi creator of Hanna Stamps to bring out an Afro Hanna of some sort. I would love to see her more ethnic. I am going on vacation next week to our first annual Big Mamas family reunion in Orlando, Florida. Now this is a bit much for me... See I really don't go anywhere. But I will be back with plenty of pictures. What is so funny is I already started looking for craft stores down there!!! I am working on a project that I will post shortly. It is out recipe books for the reunion. I will post pictures and ingredients shortly. I have to make 14 recipe books holding 20 recipes each out of composition books. Interesting!!!

Got me a Cuttlebug!!!

Well after many days of waiting for a sale, I was fed up!! Sale or no no sale, I am going to get this Cuttlebug and I am not taking it back!!!

It was on sale at JoAnns for 40% off!!!! I love it!!! I also got 3 embossing folders too. They were 40% too. I was so excited!!! Swiss dots was out of stock but I knew I could order it from Hanna Stamps! I am growing up! Watch out eventually I will be stamping with the big dogs!!!!

1:1 Weekly Challenge at Hanna Stamps- what I got!!!

I got it today!!! Isn't it so cute? My partner was Kristi Ferro the creator of Hanna Stamps. Boy did I feel special!!!! I love the paper piecing and the straw hat sun was adorable!!! Kristi used the Hanna Stamp "Fun In The Sun" and the SPF 50 mini. It looks like the cuttlebug was used too for the background. Thanks Kristi!

Happy Father's Day

Father's Day it was and I also got out of the hospital today and went visited my hubby's grandmother.

1:1 Weekly Challenge at Hanna Stamps- what I sent...

Last week I signed up for a 1:1 Weekly Challenge at Hanna Stamps. This is were you make 1 card or project. You have a full week to sign up, and then the next Saturday the partners are chosen. You have one week to make and mail out your card or project to your partner. The theme was Summer, and this is what I sent. I added this to my Gallery at Splitcoaststampers and got nice comments.. Thank you ladies for the support I wanted to use Hanna Stamp Fun in the Sun to stick right in the front but I did not have that stamp yet :(.

My partner was in Kim Parregeter in Canada!!! UPS really freaked me out when they told me that I had to pay $80.00 to chip International. I went straight to the post office and it was $16.00. Now that is alot better... I think that she will be able to use this....

Birthday Hanna on the Go!!

Happy Birthday Ms. Sandra!!! I just had to take the time to make this birthday card for the COO at my job!!! This Hanna looks just like her and believe me, she is always on the go... I used Jolees to compliment the card with happy birthday, birthday cake, presents and balloons stickers. I love the Nana card stock it is so colorful and so much fun to use. I thought that the Nana matstack could only be use for children projects. Boy was I wrong. The pages in this matstack all seem to compliment each other. I used stickles lime to outline and bring out her outfit.
It was fun and fast to do. Maybe because I am getting a little better :=) She loved it so much that she showed it to everyone that she had meetings with. Wow, I had no idea that it would be on display!!!

Hanna the Birthday Girl!!!

This card was so much fun to make ... I also entered it in the HSC19 Let's Play Dress-Up Challenge at Splitcoaststampers . I used my favorite Hanna (with long hair) stamp called But I Need It!!! I made this birthday card for my coworker who was giving it to her sister for her birthday. She said that her sister was an AKA and loved pink nd green. I used cardstock from DCVW Nana stack. I paper pieced the dress and the hand bags. I purchased the Jolees Happy Birthday Stickers, balloons, birthday hat and birthday cake from JoAnns. I used Marvy Uchida Super CLOUD QUOTE Punch to create Hanna's thoughts of new shoes. I accented with sparkly glitter pink from JoAnn's and Stickles™ Glitter Glue Lime Green from Hanns Stamps to accent her dress and shoes. Believe me, I am not a fan of pink and green how ever it is something about these 2 colors together. Can we say girly... My lil crafty stepdaughter saw that I was having so much fun with the glitter and decided to join in on the fun as well!! She made two very cute cards. I am so proud of her. She wanted to make a card for a friend that she went to school with and who is now movning out of town. She said that her friend loved pink. What surprised me was that she made the other card for me!!!

Shower Her wih Gifts

The Scrap Chicks got together and made this card for a babyshower. On this card we used Rainy Day Hanna... Thought it would be nice to feel like she was showered with presents, maybe next time it will come out better if I have smaller gifts surrounding her. We used DCVW cardstock and glitter pack from Joann's. For the pacifier I used Fiskar's punch and the little pink flower brads came from Target. The Sentiment Congratulations came from a stamp set that I purchased from JoAnn's. Pink and chocolate was perfect to use because it was prissy and soft in a conservative way...

Baby Shower Cards for Her

We made this card at our Scrap Til You Nap... We used Perfect Package Hanna with my Just for You Stamp from Joanns. This is my first time using the Perfect Package Hanna Stamp. I like how she looks like she could be wrapping the gift or unwrapping the gift. How fun!!! We wanted to jazz up her top so we used blue Sparkly glitter from Walmart. We wanted jaWe used card stock from DCVW spring glitter pack. I used the Marvy Uchida circle and scalloped punch to cut her out but then it cut the ribbon too, so i had to trim that off and glue it back. Loved it!!! I used the ticket punch for the "Just for You" sentiment that I purchased from JoANN's. We added a heart clip I got from Office Depot. This card was very nice, very easy, very quick.
