Quick & Simple

Hello everyone! I'm trying to right this post but I have a little puppy wanting my attention,lol. So it'll be a quick post. This card is super simple but I kinda like it. It is all Stampin Up product,sometime less is more and I have no mojo at all so if anyone has any to share,send some my way please. Well,Bella is trying to type and is making a lot of mistakes for me,so I guess I have to go play with her and tire her out so I can try to find some mojo.

Have a wonderful thursday my friends!

Hugs,Diane

Love is in the air!

Well,well,well,I can't believe I finally made something! It's a Valentine treat box with Hershey Choc and the top of the box is a card which you can slip a gift card in. Also made a card to match.It was fun and I'm sure my hunny will love it .

I'm hoping to make a couple of cards for my stash,DH is working today and will be back kinda late tonight,so it's me and Bella and she's snoozing right now.

How I love her,wish I would of had a dog a long time ago,but like they say everything happens for a reason!
It's a cold day here in Northern Ontario,hope it's warmer in your neck of the woods!


Take care,Hugs,Diane

Pink snowflakes

I'm so sorry to not visit or post more often. I have no excuse,and don't know why I have no time,I don't do anything different than I used to do. I'm not going to say I'll be here more often cause that would be a lie,lol.
But I hope you are all ready for the Big Day!
We are going away to visit my husband's family for 2 weeks,it should be very interesting. We will be 7 in a van...need I say more,hehe.
It might be the best Chirstmas we ever had,who knows. Anyways,on to the card...

It's too bad the shot isn't good (as usual) the wh cs is covered with a dryer sheet (used) and has diamond glitter on it,it looks so pretty IRL.

So until next time my friends,have fun stamping!
Hugs,Diane

With a little Strength & Hope!

Hello everyone! Haven't posted in awhile. Been swamped with migraines!!! Urghhhh!!!! I finally went to the dr's and she prescribed me something for them,so I can't wait to see if it'll help the next time I get one.

So last night I had Stamp Night with my Ladies!!
And this is what we made with the Strength and Hopes set in the Mini Cat (SU). We made the card which was pretty simple and the little purse with the top note die which holds a gift card inside. Added some ribbon for the handles and used velcro to keep it closed,they just loved it. We also made another card with the set and a favor bag. I just love those nights,we get to gab,laugh and create!!!

Camping season has started again,so I'll be away every weekend. We'll be able to relax this year,not waiting for the call!!!! It will make such a huge difference. So until next time my friends!
Enjoy your weekend!
Hugs,Diane

Hoping to see some Beautiful Butterflies Soon!

I just had to try to make one of these,cause you know me and butterflies! I saw them on Roxy's blog which she had a link to where to get the tutorial,so away I went to Bronwyn's blog's. My she does beautiful work! Do drop by to see her work.

So today as I have nothing to do,well I would have lots of housework to do but decided to play instead. So I think I will make some of these beauties in different colors and embossing folders to keep on hand. They are very small,they are made from the SU Beautiful Butterflies dies,oh I just love it!!!

I sponged it in Old Olive,one of my fav colors (green) and the sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes mounted on the SU punch.Oh and the brad is also SU.
Have a super duper day!
Hugs,Diane

Pumpkin Pie

Here's another card from Saturday. No I didn't make a Pumpkin Pie,hehe! Pumpkin pie all the way! Used the frame punch for the sentiment,sponged around it. Then used the heart punch with the hostess punch potpourri set,sponged it around also. Did another punch in PP and the back punch is MS. I forgot to take a pic of the inside,but I added a wh cs and stamped some lovely flowers in the corner. That is it,simple and oh so pretty! So today I have a cleaning at the dentist,yay! Then maybe a little of playing time. Oh I have to decide what we're going to make for dinner. Wish we could just take a pill instead of all this food,lol! Have a super monday! Hugs,Diane

New designer paper

Don't you just love this new dp from SU! It's just beautiful I think! I used all SU product except the 2 baby blue bling on each side of the sentiment. So it's almost the weekend once again. Days are just flying by,it's morning and then time to go to bed again. What's up with that! Must be cause I'm getting older,lol. I just finished coloring a wish rak image that I rec'd a little while back. I haven't made a girlie card in awhile so I might just attemt to do that this afternoon. Wishing you all a great rest of the day! Hugs,Diane

Rose from a bird punch!

Hope you had a wonderful weekend! We had a quiet one which was good. I did manage to make a couple of cards,it felt so good! I used the SU Bird punch to make a rose which I saw on Frenchie's blog (Thanks France!). It is all SU,Melom mambo cs and ink,corner punch,label punch,ribbon and dp. I bought the dp a good sale price in SU's clearance last yr,so I have lots still to use. Just love that paper. Added some pink pearls (oops not SU) and Voila! Makes a nice Mother's Day card dontcha think! Have a super week my friends! Hugs,Diane

You're too kind

Happy Saturday my friends!

Today's card is all SU product. I've been using some old & new products I have,experimenting,having fun.
I used the 2 step technique,not sure if you can see it in the pic,the flowers on the crumb cake cs are stamped in pumpkin pie and crumb cake,the dp are scraps I had,punches are all SU and the sentiment is from oh I have to check...Whimsical Words,I should of known that,I use that set so often,just love it!
I lied,it's NOT all SU,the border punch isn't. I did not own one SU border punch but did receive one on thurs in my order so I will use it in the future.

Not much planned this weekend for us. Maybe I'll get to play a bit,not sure.
Watching the news is so depressing,those poor people in Japan. Lets pray for them!

Have a great weekend,Hugs,Diane

Takes alot of patience...

Happy Saturday my friends!

Takes alot of patience to glue all these Itsy BittyBits! I bought the set quite some time ago and never did anything with it. So I finally took it out.
Used all SU products,The sentiment is from the Sale-a-bration,used cherry cobler cs and ink,
punched the butterfly in white and sponged it,added some pearls and a bling on the butterfly.
Ta-da,another simple card,not the gluing part though,lol!

Today I plan to clean a bit in here,cause i can only see part of the screen,can't see the desk at all,but hey,I got alot of cards done!
That's a good thing right!!!
Have a great weekend everyone! Like some of you say...HAPPY STAMPING!
Hugs,Diane

HAPPY BEARTHDAY!

Here's a little Bearthday card for a little girl,which little girl,I don't know yet but I'm sure I'll use it eventually!

It's the Beary Best Friends set from SU and the Sentiment is also from SU,Beary Nice Wishes. I paper pieced her dress,hat,balloon and gift bag to match the dp bg. The tag is a nestie tied up with a brown org ribbon.

I was suppose to go for my monthly bloodwork this am but just couldn't get up. I've been having a hard time with my sleeping AGAIN,so I def have to go tomorrow morning. I try everything,less coffee,tea,warm bath...if I don't take my full sleeping pill (which I am trying to get off of),I just can't sleep. Oh well,it's a small price to pay to be alive!!!! At least I can try to sleep whenever I want to,I'm still not back at work,so it makes it easier on me.

Anyways! Have a super rest of the day!
Hugs to all of YOU!!!
