Time to say goodbye!!!

................to some Stampin' UP stamps and supplies, Not me!!!
Starting June 1st, Stampin' UP is going to have their Last Chance Retiring Items list posted.
Just as soon as I can get my little hands on it, I will have it posted on this blog, so be watching!!!!!
Once they are gone, they are gone!!

By the way, I spent all day updating my private 365 blog. If you have access please check it out. I updated from April 16th- forward. Whew, that took a lot of time~

My Little Girl made this!! You can too!

Late last night I was asking my little girl to help me come up with an idea using the Island Oasis Designer Paper for my next workshop. I had already pre-assembled a little box (see Splitcoast Stampers for Gable Box) in So Saffron. I told her she could decorate it anyway she wanted but to use the Island Oasis paper and the Tropical Party Stamp Set.
She asked if she could switch the box to Tempting Turquoise. I said sure. She quickly assembled one and came up with this gorgeous box!
I love all of her details!! Notice how she stamped the box with the little flower stamp! Too cute!

Materials Used:
All Stampin" Up!
Island Oasis Designer Series Paper
Tropical Party Stamp Set
Tempting Turquoise Cardstock
So Saffron Cardstock
Rose Red Cardstock
Certainly Celery Cardstock ( the palm is stamped on that)
Whisper White Cardstock
Tempting Turquoise Ink ~ L00k closely at the stamped box!
Rose Red Ink~ she stamped flower with the same color inks
Earth Elements Brads and Buttons
Twine
Island Floral Bigz Dies
Pumpkin Pie, Tempting Turquoise, Chocolate Chip and Old Olive Markers - she inked the Coconut stamp with the markers!


The directions show the hole punched out with the Oval Punch but she chose to use the Curly Label Punch.
.
I think it came out darling!!

All I did was add the Tiny Tag Stamp and used the Medium Jewelry Tag Punch to make a little tag.
She did the rest!!!

I can't wait to have my workshop now!!
By the way, she is only 12!


All of these materials can be ordered from My Site HERE

Baby Girl Card

Lately everyone is having or adopting babies. I made this for our friend's daughter. It looks much nicer in person. I love the little hanger from NA.
I added some tiny tags from the Tiny Tag Stamp Set and used the little tiny punch. I love that added touch to the hanger.
Inked everything with stampin' Spots and used the Sizzix Scalloped Circle Die.

Heads Up!! Stampin' Up Last Chance!! Coming June 1st

Just an FYI!
On June 1st Stampin' Up will have their retired items list up! Over 100 items will be retiring including tons of stamps! They will be going bye bye!
I have no idea what will be on there until June 1st, but be watching!
Once I have the list, I will post the pdf on my blog and you can order directly from my site, snowmanlover.stampinup.net .
