Painting, Again?!

We finished our last painting project last week! We painted our oldest DD's room with a princess theme, since she is a princess!! I used SU's Mixed Bouqet and paint I purchased at Home Depot.

Painting!!

So I finally took the plunge and painted and stamped DD's room! I have been wanting to stamp on the walls (I stamp on everything else) for a while, but it was a bit intimidating!! It actually turned out to be really easy! The theme of her room is a garden type theme. For the walls I painted a lighter shade of sage shadow. I chose out pale and perfect plum for her coordinating colors. So I took SU cardstock into Home Depot and had them match the color perfectly! How cool is that?! The look on DH's face was priceless when I opened the perfect plum paint can and he saw that deep purple color! He suggested numerous times "how about we just leave the walls green?". Nope! Not a chance! I was ready to stamp! I also made the valance and matching pillows. Which was a feat since I am totally not a seamstress.

Baby Shower

I had such a good time making these little baby shower favors for a good friend! She is having her first girl, so the theme was anything pink!! Out of the sides of the bags I cut out little onesies and ducks! My two favorite baby-ish images. Inside the bags I put peppermint patty sandwhiches and kisses!

Valentine's Day!!

These are some Valentine's I made for DD's class! The purse is actually a little heart!! I was so excited to get the new Yappy Day set to make pink poodles for these!

These are the Valentine's I made for DS's class. One picture is a close up and the other a group shot. He colored in the little mice and addressed them.

These are the teacher Valentine's I made. I made little peppermint patty sandwiches and then filled little tin buckets with them.

Bind It All

Yeah! I finally learned to make a watermark! I am so excited to now have my own watermark! I conned Mary into letting me play with her bind it all she got from EP. It is so awesome!! This little book is made from coasters (from Outback Steakhouse) covered with SU's Ginger Blossom Designer paper. I also used mellow moss and vanilla cardstock. The flowers are from the pretties kit I just finally got! They were so super easy to dye! I was seriously surprised! I just pressed them down on the regal rose stamp pad and they soaked up the ink! Funny though, they sure don't look like regal rose to me! I used the clear rhinestone brads for the flower centers. I wasn't sure whether the ribbon on the side was too much...oh well guess I can always cut it off later!

Mailboxes

I was so excited to find these little mailboxes in the Target dollar spot! To decorate mine I used SU Valentine's paper from 2007. LOL I have horded these for a whole year!! I also used the coordinating ribbon. I used regal rose, pretty in pink and taken with teal ink. The butterfly is from the Priceless set. I also used the scallop circle punch and rhinestone brads!

Recent Stamping!

These are some of the recent stamping projects I have made. This card I made using my new Embrace Life set from the Spring Mini: I decided to use my Priceless set! I don't use this set very often. The colors are mellow moss and groovy guava. It is also pierced with the crafters kit...that doesn't show up very well in the pictures though!

I cased the idea for this card from the catalog. It is a birthday card for my Grandmother in law.

These are some little gift cards I made for my aunt. She is a fabulous knitter and sticks these little cards in with gifts she knits. On the cards she can write the care instructions.
