Had a great time with CustomCrops.com at the 2010 CHA Super Show!

Saturday I was excited to attend CHA with my good friend Nancy. We were like two kids in a candy store visiting all the booths and meeting different people. We met a few people who's blogs I follow regularly. One of which was Robyn from Mypinkstamper. She was so sweet and I took a photo with her at the Custom Crops booth. More photos to come!

Bit of Magic card

I love this fairy stamp set that came out of the summer mini catalog, it's called "A Little Bit of Magic". I just think the two fairies in it are so sweet and very whimsical. I haven't had the chance to make too many cards with it but I wanted to make a card for someone I was honored to meet at CHA this past weekend as a thank you for all that person does and all that I've learned from her. Hopefully she doesn't read this post! Anyway, I got out my Stampin UP! blender pen and prepared to color. Sometimes coloring is so fun and I read once that it's similar to meditating as you are so focused on one thing. I know it's very relaxing for me. I also used my Big Shot and the Punched Posies set which is a hostess set in the summer mini that will be gone soon, as the products in the mini are only available through the end of August.

Supplies Used:

Stamps: Stampin UP! Punched Posies (hostess) and A Little Bit of Magic, I also used a background stamp, Polka Dot, (retired) on the green for the polka dots.

Paper: Stampin UP! Pear Pizzazz, Concord Crush, Whisper White

Ink: Stampin UP! Elegant Eggplant, Pear Pizzazz, Pumpkin Pie, Regal Rose, Rose Red, and Basic Black

Mojo Monday It's Your Day!

From 3 to 4

My sweet little girl Ava turned 4 July 7th. In honor of her birthday and her party this weekend I made her a page layout for the wall and her album. I really want to do a special page in honor of the birthday boy or girl when it's their big day. I may even do it for my husband when his day comes. I was really happy with how it came out although it seemed to take me forever today as I wanted it to be just right! I am also entering this into Emma's "throwback Thursday" challenge as this week's theme is to make a Birthday themed project.

Supplies Used:

Stamps: Stampin UP! Jumble Alphabet, Well Scripted, Perfect Princess (retired)

Ink: Stampin UP! Elegant Eggplant

Paper: so much paper! email me if you want specifics

Cricut Once Upon a Princess, Sweet Treats, and Lyrical Letters

Circle and Scallop Circle Punch

More fun MDS pages

I got a chance to "try" to catch up on some scrapbooking the other day using Stampin UP!'s digital software, My Digital Studio. I just love this software. I have created so many cute projects with it just using the page templates that come with it. Here are a few that I created the other day. I just loved these photos so I turned them into black and white and used the Christmas Jingle template for my pages.
