Bold & Bright

Cuteness galore.

That's all I think about when I see these animals from the "Look Who's Turning" stamp set.

In this stamp set you'll get 3 adorable animals, 2 sentiments, numbers zero through nine, and 2 accessories (see below).  Item #11403, set of 8, $23.95

This stamp set paired with the Pink Flamingo designer series paper is perfect for a child's birthday card.  Item #113976, $9.95

I really enjoy stamping with bright colors.  Using 3 colors from the Bold Brights family I inked up my animals in Tempting Turquoise, YoYo Yellow and Only Orange.  I then punched out corresponding colors using my 1 3/4" circle punch and alternated them under the images for an even brighter punch of color.

What is a dumb-nut?

I'd like to show you a few notebooks I altered for my trip to Convention. 

By the time you read this, I will have already spent one night in Utah.  Today starts the big events!

See what I have planned by clicking here.  Any posts relating to Convention, will be put into a special category.  Click the words Convention 2009 along my left sidebar and read up on any exciting news that we are allowed to share.  I may even add a special photo gallery if I have time!

These notebooks are what I like to call dumb-nut gifts.  They are simple and inexpensive to make, but are also a fun gift to receive.  My Grandma always used the term dumb-nut around Christmas time.  As I was making these - I remembered her term fondly and it made me smile.

The first one (above) is mine, I'm a fan of Real Red and Kraft.  The rest of the notebooks are for a few people I'll meet while I'm in Utah.  I hope my fellow Demonstrators enjoy their dumb-nut gift.  I know mine will get put to good use - plan to fill it with creative ideas to bring back to you, my readers!

Click the link below each notebook to see what else I've done with that particular designer series paper (DSP).  The alpha stamp is non-SU! (I know ... gasp!)

P.S.:  Be sure to check out the Pals Paper Arts challenge site today for our Paper Artist Picks!  Could you be a winner?

Pink Flamingo Picnic

Pink Flamingo designer series paper (DSP) made the cut and is in the 2009 - 2010 Idea Book & Catalog!  Woo-Hoo!

Yesterday afternoon I had some time to play, so I broke out Lauren Meader's Pack a Picnic Template.  I made these two adorable baskets using Kraft cardstock,  Tempting Turquoise cardstock, and Pink Flamingo DSP.

My son goes to Kindergarten in the Fall.  These picnic baskets would make the perfect packaging to house a small thank you gift for his daycare teacher. 

Making projects like these is something I really enjoy.  I LOVE being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator because it allows me to support my stamping and scrapbooking hobby.

Have fun doing what YOU love!  Right now you can join me and Stampin' Up! for as little as $85.00!!  Click the image below to read more. 

For a limited time (with the $199 kit) you'll also receive:

Little Nut Brown Hare

This Little Nut Brown Hare reminds me of the first book I bought for my son "Guess How Much I Love You" by Sam McBratney.

That little board book describes how I feel about my little guy and always will.  If you are interested:  read the text here.

My card uses the newly released "An Egg-cellent Easter" stamp set (item 113196).  You'll get 6 images in this set for only $21.95!!

This little nut brown hare was stamped on watercolor paper, then colored in using Stampin' Write markers in Cameo Coral and Lovely Lilac.  I used a signo white gel pen to make her bunny tail pop!

This was a Kwik & Kool card to make, meaning that it took less than 15 minutes from start to finish.  Gotta love that!

Be sure to browse the new Occasions Mini Catalog to see what other stamps, paper and embellishments you can buy.  There are so many fun things in this new catalog, you might have a hard time making a decision on what to choose!

Fast post today ... we are still in the process of packing. 

Last night I finally had to cave and pack up my beloved stamping area.  So, I don't know how much I'll have to share over the next few days.  :(

But I hope you'll stick with me and keep coming back to check on me!

I just purchased this Pink Flamingo Designer Series Paper.  I have been eyeing it up since the new catalog was released.  I finally caved in and ordered it and I am SO HAPPY I did.  I love the bright colors and fun prints.

The fabulous friend sentiment is from the soon-to-be-released Oval All stamp set.  This set is in the Occasions Mini Catalog - due for release April 1st.  NOTE:  The Oval All stamps work with the oval punch, however, I was able to ink up just the sentiment  using my Stampin' Write Tempting Turquoise marker and punch it out with my 1" circle punch. 

See what else I created with the Oval All set by clicking here.  This card also qualifies for my Kwik & Kool category.  You could recreate it in less than 10 minutes!

To close this post, I thought I'd share the prints from the Pink Flamingo collection.
