New Stuff!

I'm sorry that it has been awhile since I have shared any projects! I have been having camera issues! I think I have them worked out now!

This is a gift tag that I made to go along with a bottle for a 50th birthday gift! I didn't have a lot of time and I'm not so good at masculine projects but I think it served its purpose!




Stamps: Cheers To You

Cardstock: Old Olive and Not Quite Navy

Ink: Not Quite Navy

Accessories: Chipboard Alphabet, Scallop Circle Punch, other Circle Punches


My next project to share is a card that I made for a super nice lady, Tonya Beres and her family! They gave us 2 bicycles for the boys! Ben is so excited to have a big boy bike! He's slowly getting the hang of no training wheels but it's killing me! I totally cased the card from someone on splitcoast but I have forgotten who! If this is your card, THANKS! I've had so much trouble using Sock Monkey! He's just too big for me! I like his head though!

Stamps: Sock Monkey

Cardstock: Kraft and Barely Banana

Ink: Chocolate Chip, White Craft Ink

DSP: Bella Rosa

Accessories: Scallop Edge Punch, Scallop Circle Punch, Circle Punch, Blender Pen, Chalks

New Neighbors!!

Our new neighbors finally moved in yesterday! We've been anticipating this for awhile! How cool is it that one of JP's friends from school bought the house 2 doors down? We are so excited to have great people on our street! It's going to be fun!

To welcome them to the neighborhood, I thought I might bake a treat for them. STOP LAUGHING! I know, I can't bake. So, off to Costco I went and I got some of those yummy muffins! I packaged them really cute so there really was effort on my part. Trust me, we are all better off when I don't turn on the oven!

Here is the card that I made to put with their goodies...

Stamps: Neighborhood Jumbo Wheel

Cardstock: Craft, Bashful Blue, Sage Shadow, Whisper White

Ink: Basic Black, Close to Cocoa, Sage Shadow, Riding Hood Red

Accessories: Aqua Painter, Scallop Edge Punch, Bashful Blue Striped Ribbon

First Day of School

Both of my big boys started school on Tuesday! JP had to be at the bus stop by 8am. Not fun for the Wiemann Family! He did great though! Although Ben and JP go to the same school, Ben is in the preschool program and doesn't get to ride the bus. He joined us at the bus stop anyways and was bummed he didn't get to get on! He'll just have to wait till next year! Here they are on the front porch being goofy!

And here is the bus stop!

And here is the welcome back card that I made for both of the teachers!

Stamps: Tart and Tangy

Cardstock: Old Olive and Basic Black

DSP: Summer Picnic

Accessories: Spiral punch, black ribbon from Michaels, Tag Punch, dimensionals, SU rub-ons.

End of Summer

I hate the end of summer. Those of you that know me know that I would much rather be sleeping in, spending time at the pool with the boys, and having NO schedule! Well, reality has hit and it's back to school is here whether I like it or not!

Here is a card that I made to bring to an end of the summer party! I don't love it but...!

Stamps: Tart and Tangy

Cardstock: Real Red and Old Olive

DSP: Summer Picnic

Accessories: Tag Punch (both sizes), Old Olive wide grosgrain ribbon, dimensionals, wihte gel pen.

If you've got a minute, check out these videos of the boys going off the diving board at the pool during our last day there! They were hilarious!

And just because he is super cute, here is a picture of my youngest! He loves the pool as much as the rest of us!

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?
