Pink Quilt

Love these cards... Used the retired Raspberry Tart Designer papers for this one and the 1 1/4" square punch...

Another Quilt Card

After I scanned the picture I ran it through the Square Lattice embossing folder and it looked better... More retired papers but trying to use some up!! Used the 3/4" Square punch for this one. Wish we still carried that punch as I need a new one!

Quilt Card...
I made these at my Stampin' Up! Retirement party. This paper has been retired for a couple of years but the Hodgepodge Hardware retires the end of the month... After it is done I ran it through the Square Lattice embossing folder and it looked awesome!!

Sweet Treats

Wow been a while since stamping. I so enjoy it but been so busy lately it has been a neglected part of my life. Here are little Cocoa treat boxes I made for the nieces and nephews on Dan's side. I have a 3 god children on his side so didn't seem right to just give those 3 a box and not the other 6... They were fun for sure!!

Christmas Stamp-N-Stack

Hoping my invites for my annual Christmas Stamp-n-Stack didn't go out to late for you all. With Dan breaking his foot almost 2 weeks ago, I have been super busy doing things at the barn and the house while he tries to get it to heal. He will be back in the barn this weekend he is hoping so things will start to get back to normal I hope!!!

Will be posting projects soon, just to busy to stamp!!

For those that didn't get their letter for the SAS It is on the 21st from 9-3 and the 22nd from 10-3 at my house!!
