Share Night

On the cruise we have a night where folks share what they love.. This is the first year I have shared.. I shared the Knit Class that I did at the knit store and the simply adorned class.  Thanks To Linda Heller for Taking my pic to capture it.

Now this is my kind of Purse

 This year we didn't get a "Big" bag on cruise.  We got this cute wool one!  Now this is my kind of bag!  I just love it! 

The Back of it snaps open and it becomes a wallet build in!  Wanted to share it with you girls!  It also matches the Cruise Jacket we got.

all dressed up

I bet that none of you have seen us all dressed up.  It does not happen often so I thought I'd share my handsome husband with you.

Pillow box Hope

 Was inspired by the back of the Summer Mini to get out my Pillow box die.  Of course mine doesn't look like the one on the back cover.  But I like how it turned out.  Speaking of turning out, you can whip these out in no time for any kind of favor or just to lay on someones desk, or to put in with your deposit at the bank... Just to let everyone know never loose hope!

Same Dog?

Thought I'd give you girls a Lillie update.  Took her to the groomers and she got her "summer" cut.  She LOVES the outside and was so hard to keep brushed and cool.  So Thought I'd try this.  She looks like she shrank!  I didn't think it was the same dog.  But she is, she is still a hoot!  I feel she feels better but I need to feed her more.. she looks so skinny!  Wish I could get a hair cut that made me look skinny and younger!  She looks more like a 9 month old puppy she is without all that fur.   Stay tuned tomorrow more Stampin' Projects.  I'm headed to my room to create for Stamp Camp!

A surprise inside!

 I love pop up cards!  This one is easy to make using the Lattice die.  

 We used the Beautiful Butterflies Die #114507 along with the Beautiful Wings embosslits die.

Try one yourself!  

Summer Travel

 This is one of the project the girls in the Big Shot Club made last night.  This 5x5 On BOard Journals (page 185 #108495) are the perfect size to make this cute travel book!  The "Travel Log" Stamp Set on page 12 of the Summer Mini) is perfect!  We used every piece of the 8 piece set!  What a great value and a wonderful gift.

We used the Big Shot and the Alphabet Simple Letters Die to create the word Travel

 The Map Stamp is stamped in versa mark for that added background, and our new Postage stamp punch give it that perfect touch.

 Inside there are 20 pages of vanilla card stock! For you to write, stamp, or adhere your favorite Snap Shots 

 Tabs were created by the Round Tab Punch, #119864

Here is the whole set of 8,  If you like to travel or know some one who does this is a fun, quick and easy gift to make for them.

Sail Away!

 One of the single stamps available in the new Summer Mini is "Sail Away"  This was created and stamped by June Dunn of Symsonia.  She used the Nautical Expedition DSP along with the new Bakers Twine!

Love the detail and extra she added to the scallop edge punch.  Great Job June!  

The Open Sea

 This is one of the swaps from our Demo Swap in April.  "The Open Sea" is one of the new Stampsets you can purchase from the Summer Mini.  Teressa Carroll, from Paducah did this one.  She used Cherry Cobbler, NQN and Crumb Cake Cardstock.  The new Designer Paper, Nautical Expedition.  And OH the new Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine!

Crazy about Daisies
