Gearing up

Boy have I been busy.  I've been gearing up for two Stampin' Up events and a card buffet.  One is at my home and will be with a fall flair since that's my favorite time of year.  The other one will be at someone else's home and they wanted mostly Christmas. My card buffet is an assortment of cards so there is something for everyone.

This is one of the funky cards we will be making.  The cats were punched out using Stampin' Up's cat punch and aluminum cans. Then I embossed them with a fun circle embossing folder.

This one I will be demoing twice, once next week, then again when I have the Christmas theme event at my house.

There are just so many stinkin' cute things in the seasonal catalog I'm really having a hard time limiting myself.

These cards will be on my card buffet. I designed them with tweens in mind.

Painted Harvest

I have been having so much fun with this stamp set.  It's called Painted Harvest and I will be using it for my next Stampin' Up event.

It's one of those must haves as it is so versatile.

You can't make a mistake using this set.

You can also bundle it with a coordinating leaf punch, which of course the punch queen had to have.

I have seen it in every color combination that Stampin' Up has in ink, and it always looks great. 

Wine

I'm heading to Sioux Falls this week end to celebrate a 60th birthday so I made this quick little wine topper to go on a bottle of wine I'm giving.

Sorry it's side ways, guess you will have to turn your head to get the just of it.
I used the stamp set called Half Full from the seasonal catalog.

Another peek into my world

                                         This is my craft room.

                                        I have a perfectly good table.

A very nice counter top area.

A perfectly good desk. Yes, it's under there somewhere, you just have to trust me on that one.

                                                     And a very comfy chair.

                                      And  yet, I choose to work on the floor. I can't explain it, it's just how I roll.

Pretty Kitty Stamp Set

Let me just start by saying it's very possible that I would be a crazy cat lady if I didn't have a husband.  That being said, I couldn't resist buying the Pretty Kitty stamp set from Stampin' Up.
Here is the front of a card.

What's better than getting a cat card made with love?

Coffee Card

I really love the coffee set, it comes in stamps, dies and paper to go with all.
I didn't make this card, it was sent to me from Kay Kalthoff.  She has a wonderful blog that you can find here.

Don't you just love it?

I can hardly wait to get back from vacation to get crackin' with this set.
