Quick and Easy with the Big Shot

Hello Everyone!

Just thought I'd share a cute little thank you card I made. So easy using the Big Shot, the Textured Impressions folder (p. 35 in the occassions mini) and the beautiful wings embosslits (p. 24 in the occassions mini).

Contact me if you want to know more about this card or to learn more about Stampin' Up's current specials.

Happy Stampin'!

Valentines Treats

This year I wanted to send Matthew with a Valentine's Treat that wouldn't rot teeth or clog arteries so I decided to make each child in his preschool class a cute little matchbook notepad.

Now these budding writer's have their own personal place to practice printing names, drawing pictures and scribbling I Love You notes to their parents. If you want more detaislon how to make these please feel free to contact me.

Haiti Disaster Relief Cards

At Gilpin we are making cards as a fundraiser. Here are 4 cards that I prepped for the kids to make. They did an amazing job! Some copied the cards exactly, others got really creative. I hope we are able to raise a lot of money for the people of Haiti.

If you want any details about these cards please contact me.

Happy Stampin'!
