Bella Rosa DSP

How beautiful is this Designer Series Paper...Bella Rosa? I love it! It's great for cards, scrapbook pages and pretty little gifts! The coordinating colors are Pink Pirouette, Riding Hood Red, Kiwi Kiss, and Chocolate Chip.

For this card, I began with a base of Pink P., Then layered on the RH Red, and then the Bella Rosa DSP. I also layered RH Red with Whisper White to stamp the images. I used Defining Alphabet and Define Your Life. Obviously I could not have done it without the Stamp-a-majig! That tool rocks! If you don't have one yet, call me right now to order it! I used the wide Old Olive Ribbon and a Riding Hood Red button with hemp twine to accent the lower portion of the card.

This card began with a Pink Piroutte base and then I layered on a strip of Riding Hood Red that

I used the Scallop Edge Punch on. What a great punch! I then layered on the Bella Rosa DSP and put ribbon with a faux bow between the DSP and Riding Hood Red. Again, I used the Stamp-a-majig to stamp the sentiment from Always at the top.

This one also began with a Pink Piroutte base. I layered on the dotted Chocolate Chip Bella Rosa DSP. The pink layer is also from Bella Rosa. I stamped the "blossom" from Embrace Life in Chocolate Chip and layerd it onto Chocolate Chip cardstock. I colored it in with my blender pens and Pink Piroutte ink then added glitter to the pink flowers and tied a white bow.

So, which one is your favorite? Leave a comment and you might be chosen to recieve a 6x6 sampler of the Bella Rosa DSP!

My Big Boys!

JP and Ben went out to Front Royal to visit with my Grandparents who are staying there for a few weeks. They had lots of outdoor fun! I thought I'd share a few pictures!




Will stayed home with me and went to the doctors! Lucky him, right?

Cornflakes In Bed!

I love my kids! Today is my birthday and my 6 year old decided that Mommy deserved breakfast in bed! So, he brought me a box of Cornflakes! Isn't he sweet?

As much as I would love to just hang out at home today and make cards and stuff, I've got bigger plans! I'm heading to the Jonas Brothers concert with my Goddaughter! Sounds fun, right?

Well, I'll leave you with a birthday card that I created for a friend!

Help Me Bring My Kids To Disney World!

We have an awesome opportunity to go to Orlando in October but I need some extra cash! JP (my 6 year old) has already offered to hawk my gold jewelry! I'm sure you've seen those commericals...gold for cash...hey, he thought it was a brilliant idea! But I think Stampin' UP! is a much better route! I'll start with my retired stamps! Here is what I've got! Prices are negotiable and I'll ship wherever (at your cost!).
