Hello Stampers!It's my husband's birthday today, and he is a huge baseball fan! I broke out my new Chevron Punch to create this fun card (CASEd from Michelle Suit). Love it!To create the black line (on which to place the laces), I found a dinner plate in the cupboard, turned it upside down, and traced the edge with one of the Project Life Journaling Markers. I applied the Real Red Chevrons and used the Essentials Piercing Pack to add a little detail.I inked the birthday sentiment from Label Love with a Night of Navy Stampin' Write Marker and added a star (Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack) punched from Daffodil Delight. Be sure to visit my...

Hello Stampers!Today I'm sharing a gift I received from Beth, one of my Kim's Paper Krafters team members, during our recent trip to Salt Lake City for Stampin' Up!'s annual convention. This is an altered notepad holder. Open the cover and inside there is a notepad on the right and a pocket on the left. She's used the Flower Shop  stamp set with the coordinating punch and Feel Good stamp set. So cute and useful! Thanks for thinking of me Beth!

Hello Stampers! I'm back from Stampin' Up!'s Inspire. Create. Share. convention in Salt Lake City. What a fun few days packed with stamping, meeting new stampers, swapping card samples, and learning new things! I attended with three of my friends from Kim's Paper Krafters: Beth, Bonnie and Kathy. They experienced convention for the first time! One of the fun traditions of convention is to create gifts for one's team members. Here's the gift I gave to the gals who attended convention. I started with Stampin' Up!'s Kraft Grid Journals. They're just $4.95 for two journals, and you can use your imagination to dress them up! I packaged the...
