Have a Warm Birthday

Since we had 2' of snow this past week, I thought this particular birthday card would be appropriate:

I sure have fun with the stamps and dies from My Favorite Things!  They have become my preferred source for stamps and dies!  I'm still loyal to Stampin' Up! for ink colors and card stock, though.  

Supplies:
Hanger die:  Stamps of Life by Stephanie Barnard

Other dies and message stamp:  My Favorite Things

Swoosh stamp, card stock, ink, sequins and snowflake:  Stampin' Up!

DSP:  Echo Park, Hello Winter collection

Thanks for clicking by -- hope you find some time to create this weekend!

Life is Like a Camera

My oldest child has been working and living in Japan (near Tokyo) for the past two years.  She will be coming home in two weeks for good!  It's been a great adventure for her.  And for me, too, as I did visit her (see this post) and learned a lot about Japan and its people.  Through it all, I sent her many cards so she could have bits of home with her even though she was 12,000 miles away.  I couldn't be happier that she's coming home, but I'm kinda sad that I won't be buying international postage stamps or making cards for her anymore!  This is the last one I'm sending to her:

I based my card on this week's sketch from MOJO Monday, and am also linking it to Word Art Wednesday.  This is the MOJO sketch:

Supplies:

Card stock, DSP, ink, sequin, watercolor stamp:  Stampin' Up!

Dies and message stamp:  My Favorite Things

Thanks for visiting!  Hope you find some time to create today!

Be My Valentine

When Snowzilla began, I posted this photo on Facebook:

I was letting my friends know that with my new toys, Diet Coke and some chocolate, I was all ready for the storm!  So, here's what I made:

It's hard to tell, but it's actually a pocket that I put candy inside.  I made a bunch of them (26 to be exact!) for my colleagues at work.

Supplies:
Heart Pocket Die by Sizzix

DSP:  Bella Blvd Valentina collection

Banner and Bow Dies:  My Favorite Things

Cardstock and ink:  Stampin' Up!
