Sooooo....it is my BIRTHDAY today!!  Woohoo!! Okay, actually not so exciting to get older, but another year is always something to be grateful for and celebrate. 

 

Above one of the cards I received today in the "mail"....yes, USPS mail!  I love getting fun mail.  LOVE it, LOVE it!  I think that it is the little things like opening up a card that bring joy (especially when you are going through bills normally!).  So naturally, I was excited to open this one up from my stampin' friend Jamie Garrett.  I love that she included a book mark in my card.  I will totally CASE that idea.  Thanks, Jamie!!

 

Here are a few stampin' gifts I received from my friend Alisha Williams.

 

 

Alisha, dropped this card, card set and cute little notebook for me on my doorstep.  She is super sweet and constantly does little surprises like this.  The first one is a card using Another Great Year, the second set included all of the cards in the adorable box, and the last one was a notebook made using a clear stamp case that Stampin' Up! sells.  I love these notebooks, because they are cute and I can toss them in my purse and the clear case protects it.  Thanks, Alisha!!

Valentine's Day Series: Day 2- Treat Bag

Today's project was inspired by my monthly Stampin' Success magazine that I get for being a Stampin Up! Demonstrator.  You know that feeling you get when you get a magazine in the mail, and that feeling when you get a gift in the mail, well combine that with my addiction to stamps and WELL...getting the Stampin' Success is on top of the list of my favorite things each month!!  It is full of creative ideas and tips.  One of the projects last month was very similar to this.  I filled my treat bag with a cello bag of red and pink M&Ms.

Here is the recipe:

Stamps: Love you Much

Ink: Real Read

Paper: Whisper White, Real Red, Real Red Glitter Paper

Accessories: Real Red satin ribbon, scallop circle punch, dimensionals

More Details:

This was super easy to make.  I took a sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock.  I cut it down the middle on the long side (at 5.5).  Then I scored it on the long side at 4, and 8.  Then flipped it over to the short side and scored it at 3/4".  Then I stamped my sheet and to finish I put some sticky tape on the side and bottom to hold it firmly together. 

If you need more clarification feel free to email me at mayramt@hotmail.com.

Enjoy Day 2!

Happy Thanksgiving! and Last Minute Projects

It is Thanksgiving tommorrow and we are getting all of the last minute details ready in our home.  Of course, I always have stampin' projects that I do for every holiday, party, event, or just about any other reason!  I have lots of things to be thankful for this year, LOTS!  One new thing to be thankful for was the wonderful teachers that my girls have at their school.  I decided to show our appreciation to them with a stamped card set.  My girls also made a special card to include with the gift (maybe I will show it on another post- my 4 year old is pretty good!). 

I used the Day of Gratitude stamp set for most of the cards and card portfolio and a retired hostess set for the "Give Thanks" stamp.  My colors were Cajun Craze, Early Expresso, More Mustard, Pumkin Pie and Old Olive. 

I also used the same colors and stamps to make some favors for our family Thanksgiving.  I plan to put one on each plate on the Thanksgiving table.

The last project was one we made earlier in the week.  It was actually a family project- even my husband participated!  Actually it was his idea.  It was a project we had seen on a Martha Stewart show.  We used tamale hojas (corn husks) for the feathers.  Martha suggested we use push pens for the feathers but my husband added his own manly touch on it.  He pulled out his own power stapler and attached them with it.  Not a bad idea!  My 3 year old added her own touch on one of them.  She colors on everything! 

 I love sharing what I love and feel blessed to have friends that love it too!  Thanks for stopping by my site! I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with family and friends.
