Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, New Jersey
I'm a stay at home Mom and a stamping fool. My husband, the love of my life, and I have four wonderful children aged 7, 5, 2 and 6 months. I spend most of my days taking care of the kids and the house, with very little stamping time. I have only been stamping for about 1 1/2 years, but I have a real passion for it and can't wait to have more time to stamp. For now I get most of my ideas from the great people from Split Coast Stampers and some awesome blogs that I visit on a daily basis. There are so many terrific ideas out there, I just can't get enough. So please join me on my journey to find my creative side, I'm sure we'll have lots of fun along the way. Thanks for stopping by and remember to "Keep On Stampin".

Belated V-Day Projects!

Hi Everyone, hope your all doing well today. I was suppose to be having some friends over today for a mini pool party . But since the forecast was calling for thunderstorms we rescheduled for next week, so maybe I can get some stamping in some time today. The baby seems to be getting on a pretty good schedule, so if all goes well with putting him done for his naps - I should have no problem getting a little mommy time. But you better cross your fingers for me, I may need some luck.

So since it seems to be forever since I stamped, I decided to put up a couple of older projects, they were both done for Valentine's day. The card was done for my husband and I also made several pop top cans in different sizes, for both my daughters teachers - here's a picture of a small one. We put homemade chocolate truffles inside the cans - they were a big hit!

Well that's all for now, enjoy the rest of your day. Thanks for stopping by and keep on Stampin'.

I'm Sad!! No Time To Stamp!

I need a break to STAMP! I have been going crazy with the kids all week - good kind of crazy. We have done so much swimming this week, you might think were all part fish. Riley has wanted to take a break from swimming but once the other two go in, she's right along with them. We have swim lessons tomorrow, so she still doesn't get a break from the water.

Hope everyones week is going well. I can't wait for the weekend, maybe I can get a chance to Stamp. Thanks for stopping by and keep on stampin'!

*All the kids got up early this morning and were in really good moods for a change. They were all lined up on the floor watching TV, so I put the Tyler in the middle and was able to get a pretty good picture of them all.*

Envelope Card and Picture Book

Happy Tuesday to you all! Hope your all doing well after the weekend. We all worked around the house this weekend, trying to get little projects finished around here. It was also my father-in-laws birthday this past Friday, so we had the Pop Pop and GK over for dinner on Saturday night. We had such a great time, the kids love to have birthday parties.

The following is a envelope card, see Dawn's Stamping Thoughts for a video tutorial. Very easy to make - just what I like. I also made a little picture book with my new bind-it-all machine. This was the 1st time using the machine/making a book, so please me gentle on me. I know the book needs/needed a few more embellishments, but I don't have a big stock on masuline embellishments - I'll need to look into getting some. As I said in my 1st posting, I have only been stamping for about a 1 1/2 years now and I'm still waiting for my creative side to start working. I HOPE IT COMES OUT SOON - I'm a very impatient person!


Well I hope you enjoyed looking. Have a great day and keep on stampin'!
**Sorry the pictures aren't the clearest - I'll try to see what's making them fuzzy.**

Another Pick A Petal Card


Well as I said yesterday, here is our other Pick a Petal (SU) card. My daughter, Riley and I did these together after we saw them on another stamping site - Chic'n Scratch to be exact. I cut the paper and she stamped, then we both put the pieces together. Great idea for a gift set. Very, very easy to make.
Thanks for checking in and keep on Stampin'.
