Thanks for Caring

Hi Stampers I've been decluttering my stamp room and came across this beautiful lace  still in the sealed wrap package!   I know that it is not a Stampin' Up! product but I wanted to use it because it screamed Shabby Chic/Vintage and you know how I love those type of cards. I'm also using the Thanks for Caring Stamp Set which retired last year.  The DSP is from the Attic Boutique Designer… Read More »

PS I Love You

Hi Stampers I have to tell you decluttering is the worst!  I keep getting side tracked in looking at old pictures.  I found some of me when I was in my 20's!  I hadn't seen them in years and was surprised to come across them.  First, here is one that I found of David & Felicia.  They are now 11 and 10 and will be 12 and 11 in a couple… Read More »

Rue Des Fleurs

Hi Stampers I love the Rue des Fleurs Stamp Set.   This splendid, Victorian-inspired eight-piece set has everything you need to express gratitude with unconventional humor and wit! Coordinates with the sumptuously feminine Attic Boutique product suite. In case you are thinking this card looks familiar, I cased it from the Occasions Mini Catalog (Page 22) but changed a couple of things to make it my own.  I added another layer using… Read More »

Rachel Sweet Valentine & FSOTM Winner!

Hi Stampers I decided to play today with My Digital Studio.  I purchased the Sweetest Ever Valentine's Designer Template last week when it was released by Stampin' UP!.  When I was looking for it on the My Digial Studio, I came across a template that was perfect to convert to a Valentine's Day scrapbook page.  I don't remember purchasing it but it might have been as part of a package.  … Read More »

Rue Des Fleurs

Hi Stampers I love the shabby chic look.  I was wondering where the term came from and looked it up on Wikipedia:  Shabby chic is a form of interior design where furniture and furnishings are either chosen for their age and signs of wear and tear or new items are distressed to achieve the appearance of an antique. At the same time, a soft, minimalistic, and feminine feel is emphasized to… Read More »

Eclectic Overlays

Hi Stampers Today's card was made using the Eclectic Overlays Stamp Brush Set from the latest digital downloads.  When I first saw this, it was love at first sight!  But then I love all things vintage. I paired it with the Established Elegant Stamp Brush Set and played around with in on My Digital Studio until I got it the right size.  I was then able print it out in Early… Read More »
