Swallowtail and Field Flowers!

 I wanted to share the Beautiful cards my friend made for me.
 
Here she used Stampin Up's Swallowtail stamp.
One of my favorite stamps.
 
 
The colors are my favorite and she did a fantastic job on this card.
 
And just a few minutes ago, I checked my mail, And look what she sent me.......


 
OMG..... I love it!!!
Another beautiful card.
She used Stampin Up's Field Flowers stamp set on this card.
 
Patti, Thank you for the Cards!

Blended Bloom, Mini Scrapbook

I'm kind of on a Mini Scrapbook thing, right now.
Making mini scrapbooks are great gifts for the special people in your life.
They appreciate the work you put into it and the photos of family and friends you've added.
You can't go wrong with mini scrapbooks!
 
I used old Designer Series paper, to decorate this book.
Since I'm a paper hoarder, it was a good thing to use the last of this paper on the book.
 
I also used the Blended Bloom, Stampin Up, set (135906)
And the New Stampin Blendabilities work perfect with this stamp set.
 
This 6 x 6 Mini Scrapbook is the easiest to make.
 
Take one 12 x 12 card stock, and score at 6 inches.
Turn  1/4 turn and score at 6 inches again.
Cut on score line, from the bottom, up to the center.
Fold all score lines, And decorate at desired.
 
Seriously, you can't get any easier than that!
Here is my finished Mini Book.

Happy Stamping!
 
 


Truly Greatful, Mini File Folder Scrapbook

I can't wait to teach my Stamping Friends, how to create a Mini Scrapbook.
These are so darn cute and easy to make.
 
I used the Truly Greatful, Stampin Up set. (131733)
And a retired DSP.
I love any idea that alows me to use up old Designer Series papers.
Christmas is just around the corner and this is a beautiful gift giving idea.
