My card won first place!

I was so excited. Last night we had our local Stampin' Up! meeting. We usually do a swap and a contest.
I entered last night and one first place. I was so excited. I usually don't enter.. but this time I thought that I did a pretty good job.

Here is the card. I also did this card for my Valentines Card this past Friday.

I used the new clear mount rubber stamps. Vintage Vogue and I (heart) hearts. New pinking heart border punch. Colors are Real Red, Pretty in Pink and Whisper White.

Inks: Old Olive, Real Red and Pretty in Pink.

Haiti Disaster Relief

Stampin′ Up! demonstrators have a long history of making a difference in the lives of others--especially when disaster strikes and the need is greatest. So it was not surprising that so many demonstrators have contacted us in the past week asking what the plan is for helping to provide relief for those who continue to suffer from the effects of the earthquake that struck Haiti on January 12.
Here is the plan:
From now until February 28, 2010, $2 from every I {Heart} Hearts stamp set you sell (or buy) will be donated American Red Cross’ Haiti Relief and Development Fund. The Red Cross is already well-established in Haiti, and this money will be used to provide immediate relief and long-term support through supplies, technical assistance and other support to help those in need.


This hits close to home since my parents and family live in Dominican Republic. My parents felt that earthquake that devastated Haiti. Just imagine sitting there and all of the sudden your lamps, fan and belongings start to sway or even fall. I just can't imagine what Haiti is going through.
Support the cause and buy the stamp set and I will offer free shipping.

Thanks...

Ribbons will be here Tuesday

I can't wait. I love ribbon..

2 Scrapbooking Layouts

Hello everyone. I know I have been MIA. I just got back from a weekend crop and had a blast.
I actually made a small baseball album, cards and two layouts. So here they are.

I used the new Designer Series Paper from Stampin' UP! I love it. I also used the new SU flower punch and corduroy button. Card stock and ribbon also Stampin' Up!

This picture was taken on Father's day at Lynnhaven Pier.

Well I have been working hard in the last day or so for a January valentines card class. I love the new Stampin' Up! designer series paper. And it's glittered. Yummy! Anything with glitter is yummy.

So here is a little sample...This card is an easel card.
