It’s a new month.  Authentique Paper is back from the convention in Anaheim and had a wonderful reception and I gained many new fans in the process.  I have been a devoted fan since day one and can’t wait to get my hands on some of the new lines that have been released.

I am especially excited about the new line called:

DELIGHTFUL

Here are the  things I have made.  I am using papers and embellishments from the new line called

CELEBRATE

Here is my layout:

A close up of my paper rolled “candles.”

Here is my card.

The fun thing about this card is that it is only 3″ x 3″.

I made a matching envelope to go along with it.

I just love the combo of red and blue together!

Now you have seen what I did..I would love for you to go on over…look at the sketches and take the plunge with us!

I hope you have a great weekend, I am off to try to get ahead of the game and get some things made today!

Agh..wish me luck:)

Have a great day!

Wednesday Wowzer PLUS!!

How are you today?

It is ME, you know the blog writer, with a fun new project with some {ippity} stamps.

I can say I do make these things for fun, but it is my effort to invite you over to I Heart {ippity} in hopes that you will try these fun stamps for yourself.

It also happens to be a time for celebration.  Our {ippity} leader in inviting you all to her birthday celebration where she is having some FABULOUS giveaways.

Today I wanted to show you a little ornament I came up with using the set CUPPY CAKES.

I took a Canvas Corp star and stamped the cupcake image onto it…

…I then stamped the cupcake on to various papers from the

My Minds Eye Ooh La La For Her line.

I added some hot fix pink pearls in swirl fashion and made the BABY trinket from Epiphany Crafts Shape Tool that I got the most wonderful deal on from YOUR SCRAPBOOK SUPPLY.

My final touch was to add the dangling beads and a flower made from Cheery Lynn Designs new roll up flower called CUTIES 3.  I made it this way so it could be used as a Baby’s 1st Christmas OR just a BABY of the family ornament.  It could even just be a room decoration, what do you think?

Think outside the box, that seems to be my motto!

Head on over to I Heart {ippity} we have such creative gals!

I love everything they make, every week.

Go and see for yourself.

Have a great day and remember this is the season of giving, not the season of stress and greed!  Relax and enjoy and don’t get caught up in the worldly view of this season.

Have a wonderful Wednesday.

I Heart {ippity} meets Authentique Paper

I looked up on a calendar and found there are 108 days till Christmas.

Can you imagine how many Christmas Cards you can make in 108 days?  I think I average about 2 a day sometimes…so, well, that’s a lot of cards!!

Without further ado… I used the stamp set called Devoted.

Great set, isn’t it?

Here is my card.

I just had to break out my Authentique Paper – WONDER supplies.

It all goes so perfectly together, I almost can’t tell that it all is not a related line of stamps and paper.

Here is a close up of the house stamp all paper pieced!  I love it!

I am finding that my signature “JEANNIE” item seems to be to have something dangle on my card!

I love the effect and think it should be like my own SIGNATURE..what do you think?

Now..if you love this card…let me know!

Let I Heart {ippity} know!

Let Authentique Paper know.

Oh and how ’bout those custom epoxy buttons?  Thanks to Rhonda over at Your Scrapbook Supply.

I was able to get the whole set of Epiphany Button and Shape Studios for a wonderful price!

Be sure to stop by and see her store!

Ok..well that is enough from me!

Go make some cards, would ya?
