Long Time, No blog!

I haven't been here in a couple of months, but I have been wrapped up in some busy stuff with my Stampin' Up club and making cards for Operation Write Home, and waiting for a total redesign for my blog by the fabulous Ms. Michelle Laycock. I can't wait to see what she comes up with, and I can't wait for my new blog design! YAY!

So, I was asked by a close friend to make hand made baby shower invites for her sister-in-law. It was an honor of course, and then the hard work started, here's a tiny picture of how they turned out.

Loved how they turned out!!
Products used: Buttons, Buttons embosslits, 1 3/4 scallop circle punch, early espresso taffeta ribbon, vellum, pink pirouette card stock (4x6 sized) and Bella Toile Background stamp with Early Espresso Ink.


A card I made for an all occasions card swap with extras for Operation Write Home. I kinda CASE'd the idea for the card from Kris McIntosh. If you have time, you should definately go check her blog out... so creative!! Tempting Turquoise base, whisper white layer, perfect polka dots embossing folder, big shot, brights collection designer series paper, scallop square punch, scallop border punch, Level 2 Cute By the Inch Hostess set.





Another card I did for a swap for Operation Write Home. Whisper White cardstock base, early espresso and crumb cake inks, early espresso taffeta ribbon, Marina Mist layer, ticket stub corner punch, large scallop oval punch, vintage wallpaper embossing folder, big shot, Apple Blossoms Level 2 hostess stamp set.
See, I have been busy! LOL!



More projects to post, just no time to post it!



Have a great day!



Amanda :)
