Bold Birthday

Hello Baby!!!

I was quite surprised yesterday to find out that a friend of mine had given birth to her baby boy early that morning. She wasn't due until mid-July, but mom and baby are doing well. So I had to get to work on a baby card. Here's what I came up with. And I do have to apologize for the awful picture!

Stamps: Good Friend, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink: Brilliant Blue, So Saffron, Old Olive
Paper: Brilliant Blue, Old Olive, Whisper White, Good Morning Sunshine DSP
Accessories: Small and Large Oval Punches, Stampin' Dimensionals

Cheers to Me

One of the first websites I check everyday is the demo side of SU! to check out the Stamper's Showcase. Today was no different. But today I was in for a surprise. One of my contest entries was posted! And how appropriate that it be my Cheers to You card since it's my birthday today.

Conehead

I love these pictures of Oscar. He's so darn cute and he looks so sad! It just makes me want to love on him. He had this spot on his back that itched, so he kept licking it. He licked it raw. The vet thinks he got stung by a bee. So we had to put a cream on his back and keep him from licking with the E Collar. The poor guy could barely keep his head up and he kept running into things. He sure had a heck of a time getting into his kitty spot with this thing on. And of course I had to take pictures to scrapbook!

Supplies
Stamps: Circle Circus, Contempo Alphabet
Ink: More Mustard, Jet Black StazOn, Whisper White Craft
Paper: Basic Black, More Mustard, Whisper White
Accessories: 3/4", 1", 1 1/4", & 1 3/8" Circle Punches, Stampin' Dimensionals

Baby Circles

I got new stamps!!! Demos were given the option of purchasing a few stamp sets that will be available in the new catalog. I chose to purchase two of the available sets. I purchased Circle Circus, which has several different geometric circle images and Teeny Tiny Wishes which has 28 sentiments. And I love, love, love all the sayings in Teeny Tiny Wishes (and I'm so glad it's die cut!).

Supplies
Stamps: Circle Circus, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Paper: Certainly Celery, Barely Banana, Chocolate Chip
Accessories: 1" & 1 1/4" Circle Punches, Word Window Punch, Certainly Celery 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon


I also wanted to take a moment to tell you that I won't be posting as often as I had been in the past. I've realized that trying to keep up with this blog has kept me from getting my scrapbooking done. I find that when I sit down to stamp I am focused on making a lot of samples just to post on my blog instead of stamping for me. So, I am going to scrapbook and I will still share what I'm doing with you, but you just won't see me as often.

Welcome to the Neighborhood

I know I said I'd try to hold off with the Cheep Talk, but I couldn't resist! I noticed the house across the street now has a SOLD sign on it, which means I have a new neighbor coming soon, so I wanted to have a card ready. I also want to take cookies to the new neighbor(s) (yea, I'm that kind of neighbor), but I don't know when they're moving in, so that will have to wait. But for now my card is ready to go. And I knew the cute little bird would make a good welcome card, so I just had to use it! I promise my next post will be bird free. It will likely also have a sneak peek of new stamps that will be available come July!

Supplies
Stamps: Cheep Talk, Warm Words
Ink: So Saffron, Chocolate Chip, Certainly Celery
Paper: So Saffron, Chocolate Chip, Certainly Celery, Ruby Red, Whisper White
Accessories: Whisper White 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon, Large Oval Punch, Scallop Oval Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals.

The Bark Park

I love this scrapbook page! Probably because it's of my precious puppy! These are some pictures of one of our trips to the bark park while we were in Miami.

Supplies
Stamps: Man's Best Friend, Contempo Alphabet
Ink: Basic Black, Real Red
Paper: Basic Black, Real Red, Whisper White
Accessories: Circle Punches, Slot Punch, Black Gingham Ribbon

Birthday Girl

I think this was my favorite project that I entered in the contest. After seeing all the cute flowers people were making out of the folded strip I thought it would make a cute badge. I cut a strip of Sweet Always DSP and punched the edge with the Scallop Edge punch. I then scored at each dip of the scallop and folded each one in opposite directions. I attached the two ends of the strip with Sticky Strip. I then punched a 1 1/4" Circle of DSP and layered it on a 1 3/8" Circle punched from Pumpkin Pie. I attached the circles with Sticky Strip. I then cut a strip of Pretty in Pink and stamped "Birthday Girl" with Simple Serif Mini Alphabet in Chocolate Chip. I cut the ends and attached it with glue dots. I also attached a circle to the back of the badge and adhered the Chocolate Chip 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon to it with Sticky Strip. I also adhered a pin to the back, so it could be worn. Maybe I'll have to recreate one of these to wear on my birthday (in 11 days!).

Always Tin

I entered a contest through Stampin' Up! Unfortunately for me I didn't win. Fortunately for you, I can share my projects with you! This is the first of the 3 projects I'm going to show you, an altered tin. The tin once held Breathsavers and once I was done munching on my mints I thought it would be the perfect tin to decorate! Luckily the sides didn't have any writing or graphics on them and the sticker on the top peeled right off!

I used my Coluzzle (before it had been discontinued) to cut out a circle of So Saffron Prints DSP and adhered it to my tin. I then inked up the heart from Always in So Saffron and then colored a few spots on it with my Rose Red and Old Olive markers and stamped in on Whisper White. I then used my paper snips to cut it out and added a silver brad. I adhered it to the tin. I then stamped my sentiment in Rose Red on Whisper White and matted it on a piece of Old Olive cardstock before adhering it to my tin. I stamped the circle flower image in Rose Red and punched it out with my 1/2" Circle punch and adhered it with Stampin' Dimensionals. Lastly I tied a piece of Old Olive 1/4" Grosgrain ribbon around the tin and secured it with a glue dot.

Last Chance!

Here it is! The Last Chance List (formerly Retired List). These stamp sets are only available through the end of June and then they are gone forever!!! If any of these sets are on your wish list you better get them now!

New for this year is the Last Chance Decor Elements. And all the Last Chance DE are 25% off!!!
Better yet, why not hostess a workshop in the month of June so you can get all the sets of your wish list and earn extra hostess benefits.



There are also some retiring accessories. These are available while supplies last. So if you want anything off this list it is best to order as soon as possible as the item may no longer be available. To be sure to get your order in on time you can order at my website, heatherhawkins.stampinup.net.
