Love Is In The Air

I made this card using Jen's Sketch For You To Try (SFYTT). I flipped the sketch sideways and moved one of the circles over a bit so it wouldn't overlap the birds. I have to say this was a very challenging sketch for me. I really struggles to make the card come together. That being said, I really like how the card turned out.

The Happy Holidays! and the sentiment stamp on the inside of the card are from a set called Flaky Friends from Stampin' Up. Happy Holidays! was stamped with Versamark and embossed in black from Stampin' Up. The dimensionals and the linen thread are from Stampin' Up. The brown buttons are from the button Latte collection from Stampin' Up. I added red rhinestones to the front of Lilly's coat and they are from Kaiser Scrapbook.

Nuts!

Having passed out all the Halloween cards I made without taking a picture of any of them, I decided to press on and start making some fall cards.

I made this card using a stamp set called Happy Camper from The Cats Pajamas. The hardware and vanilla ribbon is from Stampin' Up. The background paper is from the K & Company Greenhouse Designer Paper Pad. I also dry embossed the bears belly using the Swiss Dots embossing folder from Cuttlebug.

I am still figuring out how to take pictures worthy of posting to this blog : ) .

Hello! I'd like to introduce myself.

My name is Stephine. I am a kindergarten teacher by day and a stamper by night. I guess you could say that stamping is my sanity---well, stamping and Coca Cola!

When I get home from school everyday I sit down at my computer and check on the blogs that I follow. I get so excited to see the new projects that have been posted since the last time I checked. I am so pleased that I now have my own blog so that I can begin sharing some of my creations with you.

I look forward to sharing and learning with all of you!
