I used my MDS program to print out the tags for the Thank You notes and for the announcements. I loved that I could do it in the colors to match the cards! I know that program can do a lot more than I've done with it. I'm anxious to play with it some more.

And the matching Thank You notes:

The ingredients are the same except for the green DSP in place of the blue.
I saw a birthday card done like this last year, made by demonstrator Lisa Young on her blog. I had saved it for a pattern and just couldn't resist using it for the cards. My friend, Susan would say I'm crazy (and maybe I am just a little bit!). The inside was done with a picture of Faith holding Michael and all the information about Michael's birth. It was quite a process getting a 3 week old and a 2 year old to cooperate for pictures!  I also stamped one of the turtles from the Fox and Friends set inside. SOOO CUTE!!!! Now just to help Katie get them all addressed and mailed...I really do think these will need extra postage, so they don't come postage due!! Have fun stampin'!

Work, Work, Work!

Work, work, and more work, leaves little time for playing! As a new teacher this year, I'm spending a lot of time coming up with new ideas and ways to share ideas with kids. I'm loving every minute of it, but it leaves little time for stamping! I have done several classes and have done a little bit of stamping, but not near enough! My fingers are itching to get back at it! Here's a couple of samples of things that I've gotten done...   This one is masked, shaded and then unmasked and stamped with the leaves. Simple design, but fun to do and makes a great guy card...which as you know, can be hard to come up with! I made these with my scrapbook group on Wednesday night, and they loved them! I stamped a leaf in the corner, and then one on the outside of the envelope too. This one I've done before, but just love the design and the technique! To get this neat look, add color to the stamp with the marker first, then spray the watercolor paper with water...

Punchy Scarecrow

Image
Seems like I've been working on these forever! The poor mess I've had on Katie and Dickson's table! They're so patient with me! Lots and lots of punches and putting pieces together, then lots of help and interruptions, but so worth the effort! They are just so cute!! I also put together a punch page for the book I started with 6x6 pages so I can remember how I put them all together. The original scarecrow was done by another demonstrator, Doris Denman, and she's got some really fun punch art, but be warned, it's not for a quick card! Here's the Scarecrow:   Ingredients: Stamp Set (for the words) Always Thankful coming in the new mini catalog Sept 1st, Autumn Days for the inside Paper: Marina Mist, Cajun Craze, DSP Cajun Craze and Marina Mist, Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie, Chocolate Chip, River Rock, Basic Black, Riding Hood Red, More Mustard, Pacific Point, Daffodil Delight, Very Vanilla for the center of the card  Ink: Chocolate Chip, More Mustard, Cajun Cra...

What fun Faith and I had yesterday making these easy little pumpkin lollipops! No stamping involved, just cut, punch and decorate! An easy craft to do with your kids and grand kids. Faith had so much fun naming them as we went. Can you see which ones look like Grandpa? Grandma? (that's me!) or her Mommy or Daddy?? Michael? Gabe? Lily? Collin? Ingredients: Paper Pumpkin Pie Ink: Cajun Craze, Riding Hood Red Accessories: Large Oval Punch, Black Marker, White Pen, Sponge Daubers, Old Olive Ribbon, Dimensionals, Snail Adhesive, Glue Dots, Lollipops The Pumpkin Pie paper is cut 5 1/4" by 1 1/2", scored at 1 7/8" and 3 3/8" All the ovals were sponged with Cajun Craze, the face drawn on with markers and the white pen, the cheeks added with the Riding Hood Red and a Q-tip. The wrapper to the lollipop is stuck together with glue dots, and the ribbon attached for the leaves. Easy and fun! So if you're having one of those days and need to hang with a few friends, or ...
