Thank you Alison for my new blog design!

I am so overjoyed! How do you like my new blog design!
This was custom created by blog designer Alison Lopez.
She is just the sweetest and the most talented artist!
Thank you, Alison, I LOVE it!
YOU are such a doll!
It looks so great with my new springy cards but I will miss the wintery
one you designed too!

More Sweet Pea Fun!!

More Sweet Pea fun!! I just love to make long, tall cards and fat square cards the best. I used my Stampin' Up! Sweet Pea Designer Paper Stack to make one of these cards. I also used our Alpine Ribbon which you can find in the Clearance Section on my order site. The Sweet Pea Felt pieces are just too much fun! I even added these to the Digital Print I made from My Digital Studio!



Here is my handmade card and below is my handmade one my DIGI card!! Ok, I take credit for the hand made one but the Digi one- you want to know how simple it is!
I used MDS- My Digital Studio- our new Digi Software from SU! All I did was press card and then press designer card and it was done! I did not even design it, I just added text! Now how easy is that! I added a few of our darling Sweet Pea Stiched Felt #117266- now how cute are these little felt flowers!!

Inside of the card. I used our darling new punch called Extra Large Fancy Flower Punch. I just love this punch! It is item #118073
I have not stamped a sentiment on the inside yet.


This card was so much fun to make! All items can be purchased from my SU site HERE!

Sweet Pea Designer Paper Pack- Oh what fun!!

Oh I am just loving this Paper Pack so much! It is called Sweet Pea Designer Paper Stack and comes with two sheets of every pattern of double sided paper. Great for scrapbooking but you know I just had to make some cards out of it.
This one I just love. I added the top part of the tree at the top. I used the Favorites ll buttons from my button share, and our darling little Two Step Bird Punch and inked it up a bit with my Chocolate Chip Ink Spot!
All items can be ordered from my Stampin' Up! site HERE and send directly to you!!


Used the Two Step Bird Punch

The inside of the card has the olive polka dotted paper which is the opposite side of the front piece of paper on the front of the card.

Sunny Day Card Kit Week! I

Here are a few more simple cards from My Sunny Day Card Kit!
These are all stickers but they looked stamped. I did stamp the sentiment with the stamp set called Cheap Talk. I love that set. I also used the White Uniball Pen. All SU products.

My Kits include half the kit, ribbon, adhesive, envies and pre-cut and scored cards.

The buttons are not included but I do have one spot left in my Button Share $18.
They compliment this set so beautifully!

I sell my Card Kits long distance, and am also doing a local workshop with this kit in March.

If you would like the FULL Scrapbook Kit, it is called the Sunny Day Simply Scrappn' Kit #115700 and is on page 164 in the main catalog.
It can be ordered HERE!

If you are interested, please reply by Thursday of this week! The cost is $26 which includes Pay Pal and shipping to the US.

Had to turn on Comment Moderation

Sorry people, due to a very strange post this morning (on my Feb 15th post), I have added comment moderation. I have to say I just hate when people come on and mess with my blog!

I hate having the spam thing on but I do get spam, take it off and then get it again. So as posters, I know you hate doing that word verification but was just told with Comment Moderation, I can monitor that.

Then this morning I get on, not feeling physically well at all, and come across a comment about dieing.

So now I added comment verification!!!

I do have my Traffic Control ON and I can tell when this was posted and who posts at what time!
For those of you that don't know, the Traffic thingy I have on (bottom right side) is so great. I can tell where someone got on, which Cricut post they came from, what country, what blog site. It is for fun, but it also shows me where the bad posts are coming from too! If someone googled something and ended up on my blog, I can even see what they googled. So if you don't have the Traffic thing, I highly suggest getting it. It is free. Just click on mine on the below right.

Can't someone just have a simple craft blog around here!!!! It ruins it for the other readers.

Please leave my blog alone!! Ergggh!!

This ended up being good afterall! Enfys taught me how to use the Comment Moderator and now I don't need that word verification.
