I have been working hard on this video for about 2 weeks!  My wonderful husband and I sat down tonight and did all of the editing work and it is ready to share with you!  I am hoping this is the first of many videos where I share some really cool projects with you.

Going, going, gone #3 - A Cardinal Christmas

When this stamp set was released a few years ago I was so excited!  I remembered growing up with beautiful, red cardinals in the snowy, winter weather in the Midwest.  So I am sad that A Cardinal Christmas is retiring forever as of June 30th, 2011.  If you have not purchased this set yet and want it, I encourage you to order it before the end of the month.

A Cardinal Christmas # 111760 for $23.95

We are on our way to Disney World today! I will share Disney themed projects with you soon!  Until then, check out the retired list and get it while you can!

Have a great Sunday!

It's a Pony Party Birthday Card!

How much fun did I have this morning making this little piece of artwork for my little girl to take to her friend's birthday party today? Alot! My little girl, Paige, loves the My Little Ponies, so I let her help pick the colors for the pony and then we built the card around that. The Pony Party stamp set is really cool because it comes with wings for a pegasus, a horn for a unicorn, and tons of little "cutie marks" to choose from for it's little rump!  I stamped a second wing and colored it in and popped it up for a little more dimension. Of course a flying pony must be in action in the sky, so I sponged some Marina Mist around my clouds! I snailed together 3 Scallop Circles from the punch  to do that. I also really wanted to use the new Pompom Trim in Daffodil Delight from the NEW Occasion Mini catalog (Check out the link on the right, click and see all of the new, must have beautiful items in there!) I also used the NEW Framed Tulips Textured Impressions Embossing Folder from the Occasions Mini to "frame" my little piece of artwork! Last but not least I added a little bit of bling in the form of the self adhesive rhinestones!  Paige has another birthday gift to drop off, both parties were at the same time... so we are making another special pony card for her other little friend! Now that I have rambled on... I will list what I used to make this sweet little piece of art:
