Washington DC Highlights!

We just got back from our Washington DC incentive trip that I earned from Stampin' Up!  It was amazing!  Here are some of the picture highlights from the trip.  We toured the White House, saw many of the memorials, and the pillow gifts were amazing!  I cannot be more grateful for this wonderful opportunity.  If you are interested in joining Stampin' Up! and getting the chance to earn amazing perks like this trip check out the website HERE

Is it safe to go in the water?

Can you  hear the Jaws theme song playing in the background when you realize what is on these stickers?  These fun sharks are paired with Old Olive and Lost Lagoon card stock from Stampin' Up!  The sentiment is punched out with the word window punch.

It's almost sweater weather!

Here in Minnesota we break out the sweaters pretty early, so when I found these cute Christmas sweater stickers I knew they must be used for that fun Christmas card.  I paired Old Olive and Real Red colors from Stampin' Up! together for that traditional Christmas feel.  The sentiment is from the stamp set called Project Life Holiday Cheer from the Holiday Catalog...order your own stamp set here

Washington DC Here We Come!

A loved one lost...

This sympathy card turned out so nice and tranquil.  I used So Saffron, Very Vanilla and Pear Pizzazz card stock along with Very Vanilla ribbon.  The sentiment was punched out with the 2 1/2 inch circle punch and layered over the label framelit from Stampin' Up!
