Disney Scrapping!

This has really been my focus since getting home from our trip. I am determined to get the entire thing scrapped ASAP, because I live with a house full of people ready to go back, hahaha! 

This layout juuust might be my favorite so far! And I've done many so far, haha... I'm 27 pages in!
(and for a quick goal check, I'm at 37 pages and 22 cards made in 2022!) As is most often the case, I used a lot of retired supplies here. All the stamps, all the embellisments and some of the colors are long retired, but it all worked SO well on this page and I just love how it turned out! 

Supplies:
Stamps: Paper Pumpkin 7/2015 (teacups), Whimsical Alphabet Lower (2005), Fresh Vintage, Collage Curios (all long retired)
Ink: Calypso Coral, Gray Granite, Pool Party, Wisteria Wonder (retired), Pretty in Pink (retired)
Paper: Petal Pink, Calypso Coral, Pool Party, So Saffron, Wisteria Wonder (retired), Pretty In Pink (retired), Whisper White card stocks
Accessories: White Tea Lace Paper Doilies, Calypso Coral Ombre ribbon, Subtles Candy Dots (all retired)
Journaling font: Learning Curve

and here's a close up of some of those fun details! 

What are you making? 

Original Note Cards

THIS is exactly what I have been looking for! I need a quick way to do notes and this looked perfect!
I had an order arrive just before I dove into the dvd project and I hadn't managed to toss the packing paper yet! yeay!! (talk about a silver lining...I'm cheering for clutter??)
So today I really needed to send some notes off and I threw these together. here's what I created.......

I chose not to monogram the notes but to use stamps instead. I figured that with the crumpled paper, a nice dose of Smooch Spritz would be the perfect touch. I punched out the bird shape and the Decorative Label Punch shapes and laid them on the note cards and sprayed away...but the bird was really hard to notice. I stamped in the less-spritzed areas, and where I laid the punched pieces. I don't know if you can really tell, LOL. Everything I used has either recently retired or is about to.

Supplies:
Stamps: Vintage Vogue (retiring), Faith in Nature (retiring), Fresh Vintage (retired)
Ink: Raspberry Ripple, Soft Suede, More Mustard, Wild Wasabi, Gumball Green, Island Indigo
Paper: packing paper from the Stampin' Up! orders!
Accessories: Log Cabin Smooch Spritz (retiring!), Decorative Label Punch, Bird Punch

Sale-A-Bration comes to a close!

I have reeeeally needed some crafting time! Fortunately I had a stamp class this weekend! The sneak peeks turned out to be for a later class, lol. We'll make those in April. And that means I now have 5 new cards to show off in the coming days! yeay!
The class theme was changed to "Distressed Projects." Expect to see some pretty and messy cards here, lol! We'll start with this one, which I was excited to use since its the very last day of Sale-A-Bration! It took some serious thinking, lol, and I think it turned out really pretty!

Paper: Pool Party, Crumb Cake & Very Vanilla card stock, Everyday Elegance DP

Final Birthday Class Sample

This card was also almost completely inspired by another demonstrator's design. I added the striped paper at the bottom, changed the place of the bakers twine, and have a Lucky Limeade layer where she used Soft Suede. Also I stamped the Pool Party flowers onto the squares, and she had them done a little differently. But I really love how this card turned out, soft colors, pretty, and ready to be mailed off to a special someone!

Stamps: Fresh Vintage, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink: Soft Suede, Pool Party
Paper: Pool Party, Lucky Limeade & Whisper White card stocks, Everyday Elegance DP (Sale-A-Bration!)

Baptism Cards

A week ago we had the chance to watch some young friends be baptized as members of our church. Our family gave them each a small gift and I wanted a card to go with it. The girl card was much easier to think up, but my son helped me with a good idea for the boy too! Here's what we created...

Ink: Wisteria Wonder, Lucky Limeade markers
Paper: Wisteria Wonder & Whisper White card stocks, Presto Patterns DP (RETIRED)

CAS SAB LOL!

have an abbreviation! haha! Translation? "clean and simple, sale a bration, laughing out loud!"

This card uses the Clean & Simple 173 sketch. Once again I had to use the Calypso Coral color with the Fresh Vintage stamp set. I didn't even use the coordinating DSP so that makes me laugh even more. Instead of a strip of any DP, I stamped the bigger flower image across the bottom.

Don't forget to scroll down and check out my giveaway! *grin

Stamps: Fresh Vintage, Teeny Tiny Wishes

Ink: Calypso Coral, Lucky Limeade markers

Pretty Clean & Simple

I love these stripes but they almost have an 80's feel to them...haha! Maybe its the pale pink with it, I don't know, but I love them anyway! This is my interpretation of the Clean & Simple sketch #172. Not sure if I *love* the flower the way I stamped it, but it works. I used that Sale-A-Bration stamp set again, for the center there. hee hee!

Supplies:
Stamps: Fresh Vintage, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink: Early Espresso
Paper: Whisper White & Blushing Bride card stocks, Just Add Cake DP
Accessories: Fancy Flower Punch, Word Window Punch, Scallop Edge Punch, White grosgrain ribbon

Sale-A-Bration Once Again!

I can't say I care if you're tired of this stamp and DP, LOL, because I really love the combination and can't seem to get enough of it! For this card I used the Stamping 411 sketch #235. I love how fresh and springy these colors are! And I liked flipping the flowery image upside down like this! I do think I may need new words tho, simply because I am bored with the ones I own....hmm....

I sent it to my bff for her birthday, and realized that we have been celebrating birthdays together for 23 years now. That floors me. Yep, we have been friends since we were very little, and still are. We live a few hours apart but manage to keep in touch online and with the phone. This is us, November of 2010 at her baby shower....

I have more plans so expect to see these supplies more in coming weeks!
