Daycare Class with the Angry Birds

Hello Fellow Stampers!

Just wanted to share these adorable Angry Birds favor boxes we made at Patty's Daycare Tuesday morning. We had so much fun!!!  I don't know so much about these little birds but they do seem to be the latest rage on Facebook. I have attached photos of these darling kids with their projects!  Enjoy!






Here they are with their little favor boxes and the pinwheels we made with designer paper and pixie sticks!


Ok, until next time happy Stampin!

So Many Birthdays!!!

Hello Stampers and fellow Papercrafters!

I've been busy, busy, busy making Birthday Cards for special people in my life, almost all are in the month of July except for my Baby Sister Lisa's birthday which was about a week ago, so..I have about six cards to post, two are very similar in design just changed up the color a little bit.   As always, for a closer view, just click on the picture!

Little Lisa's Card
I saw a similar card on Carly's-Scraps.com and thought I'd put my own little spin on it for
my Sister Sheila's Card...she's was 4th of July baby so red, white and blue were in order!

  Son in Law Greg's, not sure how accurate the punch art is, never played the game but Hubby says pretty close!
For my Hubby's good friend Jim, I love this stamp set (The Open Sea), I'm so glad SU brought it back!

This card is for my Brother Donnie, I combined The Open Sea and Word Play on this card.

This card is for my Dad and is almost identical to Jim's except I used Not Quite Navy CS for base and label.


Now, before I go I wanted to share with you the mess I made while making these cards.  You'll notice some boxes and misc Christmas "stuff" I've pulled out too since I've been also working a little along the way on some projects for a Christmas Craft Fair; me and a couple of my friends are doing this year, yeah, I know it seems a bit early but believe me we're actually a little behind...





At least it's being used for something, lol!

 
My make shift cutting station...still looking for a white dresser that will fit!

WOW!  What a mess, huh?  Ok folks until next time!  Happy Stampin!

Father's Day Weekend Pics!


Hello Stampers and Fellow Paper Crafters!

I don't normally post too much personal on my blog, but just wanted to share some photos from this past week and weekend. We had a great time! My Dad came in on Wednesday morning and left out on Monday.  I have posted several pics of our time together at the lake with my sister Sheila and our BBQ dinner on Father's Day where we invited our neighbors and my Mom & Dad Perry to join us!


Daddy and Sheila soaking up the rays, the lake was simply gorgeous that day!

They're there I promise...

Crafting Station is FINISHED!!!

Hello Stampers and fellow Paper Crafters!

This past week and weekend was great!  Not only did I get to spend time with my Dad and my Hubby but my sweet Husband also finished my Crafting Station!  I've attached pics below. 


Finished Station



Hubby installing curtain rods for old style punches!




Almost finished!




Another view...should put something on that corkboard, huh?

Make shift cutting station, I'm still trying to figure out how I want to do this.  Need to store not only cardstock but cutting dies in this space...and have a good flat surface for paper cutter and BigShot.


Other side of Craft Room is actually what is left of my Home Office...Hubby use to have his own desk here, all that's left is his chair.  hehe

BAB Birthday Card for Little Kim

Hello Fellow Stampers and Paper Crafters!  

Today I wanted to share a card I made today for a sweet little girl who is turning 3.  I used the retired Build A Bear Die with the accessories die for clothing and a purse.  Too cute!  I wish they had not retired this set but that's ok, I still plan to use it in my Daycare and Mommy & Me classes! 


Would write more but gotta run folks, my Dad just got into town and is staying with us until Monday and I better go spend time with him and Sophie (his sweet Scottie)!


Ok, until next time Happy Stampin!

Crafting at Patty's Daycare - Father's Day Crafts

Hello fellow Stampers and Crafters,

We had so much fun this morning at Patty's Daycare making a cute Father's Day card and treat using the now retired stamp set "Under the Stars".  I so love this stamp set and find so many uses for it especially for all those men in our lives...unfortunately I forgot to take my camera the class (I do these classes on location) so I have no pics of these cuties making their treats and cards.  However, I do have my samples which I will post!

 Gift Set includes:  Card, Smores and handmade Gift Bag made from a lunch sack! 

 Close up of Card
 Close up of Smores...YUM!


 Ok, folks...until next (should have pics of updated craft room by then) Happy Stampin'!

Craft Room Make Over Update

Hello fellow Stampers and Paper Crafters,

I feel bad that I have not posted an update on my Craft Room make over lately, so I thought I would quickly post some pics...we have finished repairing, painting and installing the cabinets we purchased a few weeks back from our Habitat for Humanity Resale store.  My sweet Hubby has installed a beautiful ceiling fan and added some additional shelving to the 6 foot shelves I once had (Sorry, no pics yet)  and I still would like to find a old 6 drawer dresser to refurbish to use for my cutting station, so once I find it and get my curtain rods up for my paper punches I will post the finished room!   

Here are the pics I have so far...
