In the Army Now ...

Here's a photo of my Dad shortly after Christmas ... he's looking at the My Digital Studio book I created & printed for him. (Which he LOVED, by the way!!)

This was a perfect gift for him as I thought about his deployment to Iraq.  I created a book with photos of the Grandkids and threw in a few photos of me & my brother (and spouses).  It's small enough for travel, but packed full of love!

Yesterday his flight left for overseas.  We're going to miss him while he's gone, but we have hopes of connecting with him electronically.

Here's a photo of him while he was training for the big trip.

LOVE YOU, DAD!!

Who Wants a Kiss?

Yesterday, I showed you another great idea for using Stampin' Up!'s Hugs - Sending Love Notes (item #118778).

So, today, I wanted to share with you a fun and easy way to use the new Kisses - Sending Love Notes (item #118779, coordinating glassine envelopes item #117226).

These little kisses are incredibly adorable and great to use on their own.  But you can also use them as an embellishment on a card.

Using the clear mount, I {heart} Hearts stamp set, I inked up the friend image in Real Red (one of my favorite colors).  I inserted the Kiss into it's matching glassine envelope and simply adhered it to the front of my card with 2 stampin' dimensionals.

TIP:  Make the recipient of your card feel extra special.  Include a little love note on the back of your kiss as well as writing a little something on the inside of your card. 

Don't forget - for every I {heart} Hearts stamp set sold, $2.00 goes to the Haiti Disaster Relief Fund.

Get your Kisses (and all other Stampin' Up! products today
by clicking the Shop Now graphic below.

Who Wants a Hug?

Packaged inside these adorable rectangular glassine envelopes (item #117227, $5.95) are 6 Hugs - Sending Love Notes (item #118778, $4.95).

These were made for a door prize at my recent Stampin' Up! Workshop.

You get 20 Hugs per package and each one measures 2 1/4" x 4".

I used a clear mount Hostess Level 1 stamp set, called Picture This from the Occasions Mini Catalog.

These little cards would make perfect gift tag or even lunch box notes.  The recipient will treasure your hug for a long time to come.

I used the Pawsitively Prints designer paper on each Hug. 

The small patterns added to the cute factor, don't you think?

A Stamping We Will Go!

Today I will be demonstrating at a Stampin' Up! workshop.

I've decided to show off the new clear mount stamp sets, I {heart} Hearts and Well Scripted.  (see individual photos of these projects in my gallery).

Here are the projects we'll do for our make-n-take.  Use these ideas for Valentine's Day, a Birthday, or as a "just because" gift for someone you love.

Tip:  This little favor box is so easy. 
Simply cut cardstock to 3 1/2" x 11", then score at 4 1/2" and 6 1/2"
Inside is a small cello bag holding some yummy licorice candies

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!
