I used the Color & Contour Stamps to make my own DSP for the two top pieces, and the beautiful floral Hand-Penned DSP for the drawer trim and drawer liner.

This month's "What's New" theme is the perfect opportunity to use the NEW stamp set called Days to Remember to make this cute desk calendar with a drawer, because, really, every day IS what's new.....right? 
A new dawn, new breath, new adventures.

Who remembers (and still has) clothing handmade by their grandma? Me!!! I am celebrating both of my grandmothers with this project for February. They both taught me to knit, sew, bake, and so much more.

When I saw Stampin' Up!'s "Handmade For You" stamp set in the new mini catalog, I immediately knew I needed to have this set.

From the Heart

With Valentine's Day approaching, I've been busy trying to use all the new DSPs as well as the retired DSP. 
This was from last year's mini Stampin' Up catalog, called From the Heart.  
You can see I'm choosing layouts that use LOTS of DSP.
Now I'd better get busy getting my cards in the mail so they will arrive on time.

It's True Love!

 

Oh, my goodness!  It's True Love!!

Have I told you how much I LOVE this Designer Series Paper? 
So much so that I have colored and fussy-cut every square inch of the large flower sheets! This is the True Love DSP from the Love You Always suite featured in the Stampin' Up mini catalog.

For this cute little bag, I used the All Dressed Up die set, with the Love You Always foil sheets for the handles, the SAB Ombre paper for the sentiment, and of course the True Love paper for the bag and flowers/leaves.

The embellishments are the Black Matte Dots and Heart Charms.

For the coloring, I used Rococo Rose, light and dark, and Granny Apple Green Blends pens.
The sentiment is from the Lots of Heart stamp set.

True Love DSP (I'm in love!)

The whales were fussy-cut from the DSP.

I love the colors on the black background!!

Welcoming Fall

So excited about fall!!!
(my favorite season)
Time to slow down and give thanks.

For these beautiful fall celebration cards, I used:
Come to Gather Designer Series Paper
Gathered Leaves Dies
Gather Together stamps
(all from Stampin' Up!)


  

Now that football season is here, Sundays are my fundays.
I'm pretty sure I could disappear and nobody would notice.
So what to do?  WHAT TO DO?
Why, craft, of course!
And let my book club ladies know I love them.

Lovely You and Positive Thoughts
