Request for my card kits.......

Hi friends,
This week, I am featuring some cards I have made with my card kits.
To avoid any confusion on ordering, IF you would like the FULL Sunny Day Simply Scrappn' Scrapbook kit you may order it from my site HERE

The Scrapbook Kit is NOT my Card Kit.
The Sunny Day Card Kit
is something that I put together myself. It includes half the Simply Scrappn' Kit PLUS ribbon, envelopes, adhesive and precut and scored cards. Enough to make 12 cards with some leftovers. I have to say it is a darling kit!

If anyone is interested in my Sunny Day Card Kit, please EMAIL me. I can start another round but need to order these for 6 people at once. Full details are on the Feb 11th post.
If you are interested, please reply by Thursday of this week! The cost is $26 which includes Pay Pal and shipping to the US.

This is the Full Scrappn' Kit and you get doubles of everything. You can order this from my site HERE.

This is MY Card Kit that I made up and it is for sale! You can order by EMAILING me by Thursday!

This is what I made with my kit.


Hope that helps clarify the difference!! Taking orders through Thursday for Round 3 of the Card Kits!


Sunny Day Card Kit Week!

Here is another card I made with the materials from my Sunny Day Card Kit. The only thing extra I did was make a Top Note with the Big Shot. I also traced the bird sticker and made this little blue bird.

Sunny Day Card kits are my own kits and can be ordered through me!
Sunny Day Simply Scrappn' Kits can be ordered from my SU site right HERE!

Sunny Day Card Kit Week!

This week, I will be showcasing some cards I made with My Sunny Day Kit*. Everything you see this week was made with my own Sunny Day Card Kit* that I assemble and sell.
My Card Kits come with enough to make 12 cards but I used the kit to make 6 cards and the Forget-Me-Not-Box{#105525, page 204 in the main catalog) which can be purchased HERE!
The Forget-Me-Not Box is not part of the kit but will be another project I will be doing !



This is my card for today.


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!

*The kits are my own creation and must be ordered through ME!

Stay tuned all week for more Sunny Day Cards by Barb!

This is an old card but my Photo Bucket account was showing I was not on that site for awhile so I had to log back in and use photo bucket. Enjoy! One of my Favorites! Love the "Stitching" the Top Note Die makes!!

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.

Who wants icecream!!

A sweet Canadian Consultant named Sabriena gave me this idea for my workshop make and take. This idea has been circulating for awhile. My little girl made the chocolate bar and used markers. I made the dreamsicle and used ink.

Materials used:
Stampin' Up Cardstock: Real Red, Only Orange, Summer Sun, Old Olive, Chocolate Chip & Whisper White
Stampin' Up Inks: Chocolate Chip, Only Orange, Basic Black
Stampin' Up Ink Spots: Chocolate Chip
Stampin' Up Markers: Chocolate Chip, Real Red, Old Olive
Stampin' Up Punches: Scalloped Circle, Corner Rounder, 1 1/4" Circle Punch, 1 3/8 Inch Circle Punch, Horizontal Punch to place slots for popsicle sticks

Stampin' Up Stamp Sets-Tart and Tangy, Teeny, Tiny Wishes, Sincere Salutations, Whimsical Words
SU Misc: White Uniball Pen, Stampin' Dimensionals

My little girl is having her birthday party and she made these little token cards up. They have money inside to play at the token machines. These are the color combos she wanted and she made them herself for her party favors.

One more lime bar!

I make Jewelry too!


For those of you that follow my 365 blog, this will probably be my blog post and POTD for today. This is a bit of jewelry I made a few years ago. I did not make the lampwork beads. I ordered those from some girl I met at a craft store, and designed the bracelet, necklace and earrings myself. I have not made jewelry in about two years. I let the MB and the Cricut take over my life, but am making a change to that! I don't need any more jewelry but it is a very relaxing and fullfilling hobby. Enjoy!
