Hello, my friends,

I just had to share this sweet, little card I made tonight before I head up to bed. Sometimes I come home from work and do dinner…errands…laundry…etc. and later on in the evening I just have a feeling that I need to create something pretty. Tonight was one of those nights.

I made “Brinner” tonight (or “breakfast for dinner” as you may call it…) and after everyone was settled in for the evening I came in here to stamp. I’m so glad I did because it was honestly just what I needed. No stress…no fuss…no muss… Just some time to sit and create. Here’s what I came up with…

 

Woo Hoo!! Check out this week’s specials. I have both of the a chevron ribbons at the top of my list. What’s your must have? My Online Store is OPEN… No lines…No waiting. Get these red hot deals while they last. Remember…Sale A Bration is going on so for every $50 you spend (before tax and shipping) you can choose one of the SAB exclusive items for FREE. I love FREE! How about you?

Wishing you a terrific Tuesday,
Michelle

Happy Super Bowl Sunday!

This is one of those times when I’m really glad we don’t do “video” blog posts LIVE.  You can’t even imagine how much my house looks like a bomb has gone off in here.  We’ve gutted my studio and I’m officially crafting from the comfort of the dining room.  Mike has the new studio wood flooring about half done as of right now.  I can hear the music and banging coming from up there and that means PROGRESS.  WOOT!  It’s okay…I’m stamping away down here and I can’t wait to get back up there to set up all of the new cabinets and organize my studio space.  I have to keep pinching myself to believe it’s finally happening.

Okay….welcome to the  month of “LOVE”.  I love Valentine’s Day and especially all of the fun crafting possiblities.  I made a new decor item for our house today to keep up all month.  Who knows…I love it SO much….I might keep it up longer. LOL

 

I love the “On Film” Thinlits and the Polaroid look is definitely “hot” right now.  The thinlits are double the fun because with one run through the Big Shot they not only cut out the frames but them emboss them too.  Yes!
I also used the “Label Card” Thinlit Dies to make the embellishments.  Perfect!  

Here’s a list of products used in the project….Remember, they are all available at my Online Store.  Go to stampinsuitsme.stampinup.net for all your supplies.

“Love You to the Moon and Back” stamp set
Clear Mount #133143

I had so much fun creating this fun keepsake and I love seeing those sweet faces of all of our kids smiling back at me.  This is a great project to alter and use for any occasion…birthdays, weddings, baby showers, teacher gifts and more.  

So, what are you waiting for?  Start spreading the LOVE!

Wishing you a magical day,
Michelle

Happy Wednesday!

Happy Saturday Friends,

We’ve had a fun and busy day today.  I’ve been organizing things from our Inkerbelles team get together last night.  I had such a great time seeing everyone and sharing all of the details from SU! Leadership with them.  It was definitely one of those “so much to share…so little time” get togethers.  I absolutely love having the ladies over for some serious “girl time”, stampin’ and fun. 

I designed two fun cards and one “sweet” Valentine project for them to make.  They really loved them all.  Woot!  I want to share the first card with you today.  It’s a “file folder” card.  Have you tried making one of them yet?  They are super cute and SUPER easy.  The “must have” tool for making one is the Envelope Punch Board #133740.  Here’s a peek at the card and then I’ll give you the details…

I love the colors in the Designer Series Paper.  Here are a few of the details…“Love You More” stamp set (Clear Mount) #134682, “Fresh Prints” Designer Series Paper Stack #132996, “Decorative Dots” Textured Embossing Folder #133520.  I think this would be a perfect card for a lot of different occasions…especially Valentine’s Day.  All of the supplies are available at my Online Store.  Just click the shopping cart above to head over there now.

Don’t forget that there are just a couple of days left until some very BIG announcements from Stampin’ Up!.  Sale A Bration, our biggest promotion of the year. will start on Tuesday, January 28th.  To make things even more exciting, there are THREE big product announcements coming the very same day.  You’ll want to stay tuned so you don’t miss it.

Ok… It’s time for Family Movie Night here at our house so I’d better start making the popcorn.  I hope wherever you are that you are warm and safe.  Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Stamped Blessings,
