Stick Pins: Pins & Needles Challenge

So over the years I have learned I am a CAS stamper.  Hard on me because I REALLY love patterned paper (the scrapbooker in me, I guess), but when it comes to card making I have a hard time putting anything on the card.

I love the design time member who challenged us this time.  She has had some of the most interesting ones over the years.  I loved the pins she chose and I even broke out a favorite set that I rarely use (my mom got me into cross stitching when I was a kid and we did it together for years- she passed away 5 years ago so it was an easy buy for me).

I know exactly who this will go too, but she may read my blog so I can't say. I really enjoyed this one!

Dance the night away

Last year at this time our group of friends had a "Daddy/Daughter" dance.  Emma got all dressed up and she had such a ball.  I never could find the *right* combination of things to make a layout that worked like I wanted in my mind.  And then... along came Rosie Posie stamp set and dies and this layout was born! :)  Anyway, the heart border die, Embellishments, Floral Fusion #3 (and 6?) and flourishy cricut letters completed the look.

Enjoy!

Botanical Silouhettes

Even though I've not used it often, the PTI anniversary set is one amazing beautiful set!  Plus, I just LOVE Label Basics.  Today and tomorrow, since I can't go to Cinci with my PTI friends, I am getting to play (less today because I have to do those wife and mom things like buy food and laundry!)... and I can't wait to play with Little Labels!

Enjoy!

Teacher notecards

I absolutely loved a card similar to the notecards I made for Jake's teacher out of Floral Fusion #3. I have searched the DT, Nichole, Melissa B blogs, AND the gallery and can't find it to link. I can tell you it isn't my idea! :)

Then, I took Teacher's Apple to make a coordinating card for her and with the Library Pocket Die on the back filled it with gift cards.

So glad summer is here!!

Enjoy!
