Happy Birthday Parker!

Parker's "cheese"y grin

Today is Parker's 2nd Birthday!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PARKER!!

To say this little guy likes to eat Fishy Crackers is putting it mildly so I thought this was a fun idea by Diana Jacobs using the Sweet Treat Cups and some colorful Goldfish Crackers.
(which, by the way, they have every single day for their morning snack -
at least on the days Parker is here)

Halloween Cards

Here are the Halloween cards that I made for my family. Thought you might like to see them. Julie and Jeremy’s card: a cute pumpkin made with our Sweet Treat Cups and Pumpkin Patch Stamp Set, and filled with Julie’s favorite orange flavored Tic Tac. The Spider card is for Jeff and I made one for Tyler too. It’s a good guy card don’t you think? Especially since Jeff is the “Bug Man” for his job. Once again I used a Sweet Treat cup to hold only the black M&M’s from the Halloween bag of M&M’s, and an embossing folder bought at a local craft store.

This pretty Purple card is for Jessica who absolutely loves the color purple and it is filled with the yummy Halloween colored M&M’s. The stamp used in Jess’ card is called Sweet Centers. I also used the Wood Grain Background stamp and Holiday Best (Hostess level 1 stamp set)

Joey’s card just had to be “Joe Cool” waiting for the Great Pumpkin. The Pumpkins are stamped using Autumn Harvest Stamp Set and the little leaves were punched from a non-SU mini punch. Gracie’s cute little Witchy Bear card is made using the Big Shot and the Build a Bear dies exclusive to SU, the Holiday Best SS, Cast a Spell DSP, and the large and small star punches. I really should have made Gracie’s little bear into a Princess because she is going to be Cinderella for her first adventure in Trick or Treating. I can’t wait to see how cute the kids will be when they come to Trick or Treat.

Red Hot Challenge

Glenda, our up line Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator always gives us a challenge at each monthly meeting. As a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, one of the many perks we get is that we receive the STAMPIN SUCCESS monthly magazine. It is chock full of great tips and ideas to use for our classes or personal use if you are just a hobbyist. In the September issue they had a sketch challenge so Glenda challenged us to make a card using that sketch. Here is the sketch challenge and here is what I came up with…

Sweet Centers

For our 30th anniversary 2 years ago I surprised Dale with a hot air balloon ride. It really was a special night. We helped set up the balloon in a field in Holland and then our kids, grandkids and my parents followed us on the ground. Tyler and Gracie thought it was pretty neat to see Gramma and Grampa up in the air. So when this new stamp set came out in the new HOLIDAY MINI, I knew I just had to have it. Yesterday I shared with you the swap cards that some of the other gals made, but this is the one I made to swap with them. I found this idea on SCS but changed up the colors and I eliminated one layer. I hope you like it.Menu:
