We're off and stamping...

This is just so exciting! Meg in Tally actually found my blog already and posted a comment. I had to run upstairs and tell my hubby cuz I was sooooo thrilled! Practically jumping up and down for joy! If I'm not careful, it might almost seem like exercise. Yikes! We can't have that now, unless we have a chocolate break. Hmmmm, now there's a good idea.

Okay, now that the chocolate break is over, there's something cool here to show you. I've been working on gifts for the fabulous hostesses that keep me in business and wanted to share the idea with you. It's so simple to make, but can be changed around to any color and stamp sets you want to use. Well,what do you think??

This is a card holder folder. Don'tcha just love that name? It just sort of flows off the tongue (or twists it up if you're having one of those days!) Or maybe you don't have those kinds of days - boy, are you lucky!

Oh yes, back to the project. The folder uses 1 sheet of cardstock folded in half and scored along the bottom long edge at 2". This folds up inside to make pockets for the matching cards and envies.
Now wouldn't just everybody love one of these? Of course they would!

Stamps: Happiness Always, Canvas and Watercolor Vine Jumbo Wheel

Paper: Baja Breeze, Old Olive, Naturals Ivory

Inks: Baja Breeze, Old Olive, Chocolate Chip

Accessories: Chocolate Grosgrain (both widths), Cropadile, and Crafters Tool Kit

That's all it takes to make this cute gift. Now where are all those ladies just dying to be a hostess for me. Come on now, I know you're hiding out there. Oh, maybe I should get on the phone and make some more calls. Whatcha think? Hmmm. Yup,yup,yup. Guess that's what I'm gonna do. Off to the phone lines and scare me up another hostess or two. Have a wonderful day and enjoy the crisp fall weather out there! Drop by tomorrow and we'll chat again.

Hugs,

Sharon

New Beginnings

Well, let's hear it for new beginnings. I've been contemplating this whole blogging world for at least six months. I know, I know. It takes me a long time (ahem... forever) to make a decision and try something new. But I'm excited to be sharing my thoughts and stamping ideas with you, whoever you are. (You are out there somewhere, aren't you??) I imagine it will take awhile for news of this new adventure to catch on, but here goes anyway.


It's been fun working with my stamping friends and coming up with so many adorable Halloween cards and projects. Halloween isn't my favorite holiday of all time, it's somewhere after Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, 4th of July, etc, etc, etc... But it sure is fun decorating and mailing cute cards out. I don't get into the really spooky, gory stuff. I'm an absolute sucker for cute though!


I think this little cat is so cute flying off on his broom. Or is that a her?? Whichever, I hope my friend likes it because this little feline friend will be flying over her way soon.

All stamps, inks, etc are Stampin' Up!

Stamps: Haunting Halloween, Canvas

Paper: Basic Black, More Mustard, Gable Green, Whisper White, and Orchid Opulence(inside)

Inks: Pumkin Pie, Orchid Opulence, Gable Green, and More Mustard

Accessories: Stampin' Pastels, Corrugator, Bold Brights Mini Brads, Large Oval Punch, Sponge quarters, and Dimensionals.




Whew, that's it for my first official posting. Hopefully this has picqued your interest. I'll try to be consistent with this blog so you'll have some inspiration on a regular basis. There are so many of you that I consider friends that I would like to keep in touch with. This seemed like a good way to stay in touch and share my obsession with stamping at the same time. Please let me know what you think of this crazy adventure. I'd love to hear from you. And please, please, be nice. Remember, I'm a blogging virgin. Well, not anymore I guess! he he he



Hugs,
Sharon
