Robert Rocks

My step-son Robert, turned 13 yesterday ... here he is with one of his gifts... a new phone!

Above is a card I made for Robert, from my Dad who is in Iraq.

Below is the card I made from my husband & I.  It was fun paper piecing this stack of gifts. 

Devlin - You Rock!

I made this card over 2 weeks ago ... with my son, Devlin in mind. 

After the tough week we've had with my Mom (and his Grandma) passing, he deserves this fun card.  Even though there have been many sad, teary moments for him - he's been such a trooper through it all.

The Extreme Dirt Bike stamp (front and center image) is a single stamp that is available FREE through Sale-a-Bration.

I've collected so many stamp sets, that I decided to start a small collection for my son, Devlin.  I chose the Extreme Dirt Bike stamp to kick off his collection.  I plan to earn the following single stamps for him through Sale-a-Bration.

• Extreme Guitar
• Extreme Skateboard
• Extreme Snowboard
• Extreme Surfboard

My son is creative & is also a little collector.  I thought starting him off with his own collection of stamps would provide him & I another way to connect as Mommy & son.

Mini Milk Carton

I made this Mini Milk Carton with my new Stampin' Up! Big Shot.  

I had put off purchasing a Big Shot for months ... but am I ever glad I finally made the investment. 

Here's the "skinny" on the Mini Milk Carton die ...

• Designed to cut through one sheet of paper or card stock at a time
• Use with Sizzix Big Shot machine and standard or extended cutting pads; for best results, also use standard or extended premium crease pad
• Finished carton size: 1-5/8" x 1-5/8" x 3-1/8"
• Die size: 6" x 8-3/4"

Using the FREE Good Neighbors stamp set, I stamped and cut out these adorable little house, tree & cloud images.  This project fit the bill for the most recent Pals Paper Arts challenge. 

Be sure to Play @ PPA on Thursday, February 25!  You'll be "inspired" to create. 

Check out these other Mini Milk carton examples from the Stampin' Up! online store.  I like how these examples show 3 different ways to seal the top of the carton.  CUTE!

A Clear Choice

I received new goodies from the Occasions Mini Catalog and Sale-a-Bration Brochure last night, including the new clear mount blocks & clear mount stamps.  Stay with me on this post ... you will not believe your eyes!

As soon as I opened my box, it was love at first site.

The clear blocks are some of the highest quality acrylic blocks I've ever laid my hands on.  LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them!

These blocks can hold one stamp or multiple stamps if you want to create a collage of images. Each block is etched with a letter for easy identification, and all four sides are grooved, making it easy to grip the block.

Buy them in a bundle (item #118491, $69.95) or individually (prices shown below).

Check out the photo below - it shows two stacks of stamp sets.  Each stack contains 5 stamp sets, with equal amounts of images in each DVD case or clamshell.

For storage purposes alone, these new clear mount options are the clear choice!

Order your clear mount blocks & stamps, by clicking here

Be wise and get the best bang for your buck... Don't miss out on Sale-a-Bration & my exclusive Sweet {Pea} Deal here.

More Clear Mount Features

• Nine different sizes of clear blocks available individually or as a discounted bundle (see full price chart below).
• Blocks have ergonomic grooves on all four sides for easy grip and traditional wood-mount feel.
• Stamps and blocks are durable and easy to clean with your Stampin' Scrub and Stampin' Mist.
• Optional image labels on stamp backs let you decide if you want to see the image through the block or not.
• Tight die-cutting for easy image positioning.
• Large clear blocks can be used to create collages or spell words with alphabet sets.
• The clear mount stamps store easily in standard, DVD type cases with artwork on the front and spine, making organization a snap.
