Paper Craft Planet

There's so much excitment going on with a site called Paper Craft Planet. It's an online community for paper crafters and most likely all of your favorite stamping companies have their own group there. Please click on the craft planet badge on the top right, join and become my friend. It's so easy to do and it's free. There are some very creative wonderful ideas happening over there. I hope to get your request to be my friend!

on another note, here are some more cruise photos to share with you!

Gianni, Susie and Adian...there's a story...see bottom of this post!

The Stamping Rock Stars and their families

Ok so here's the story. The yound man in the first photo, the one in the orange shirt...for some reason he just loves orange and wears it everyday...was supposed to be on his Honeymoon. The day before the ship set sail he said his wedding vows and his fiance walked out of the church. No wedding! The reception was held and he decided to still come on the cruise. The poor thing was supposed to be on his Honeymoon! Well, let me tell you, we took him under our wings. We were the Cougars That Care! LMAO! He was such a sweetie...he joined us for dinner in the dinning room ( he was surrounded by 12 woman!), hung out with us on the beach, danced with us in the Disco, and we introduced him to some yound woman his age. I think that all in all he ended up having a good time on his nonHoneymoon!
Have a great day!

More Sneak Peeks from Cruise!

Here are some more projects that we made with Nickabella and Emabella.
I just loved these projects.
This dove is just so beautiful and the paper we used ...gorgeous textured paper! Gotta get some of this!

Isn't this snowman just too cute?

The circle images were just so adorable. Isn't that a really cute set, and we made a little box to put them all into. (the box got a little crushed in my suitcase and it is missing a lovely little punched flower embellishment.


This is a project we made in Gina's class. We used glossy white paper and this Big Juicy Ink Pad. I loved this pad and can't wait to own some! WE made a set of three cards that went into a clear box to hold them all. They really are so pretty in person!


And finally these are some projects that we made in Nicoles classes. We used our scorepals and the snowflake punch that we received as goodies to create these projects!



Well, that's it for the sneak peeks from these three amazing companies.
I still have some kits from all three companies that I didn't have time to make on the cruise. I just need to find them so that I can finish them!
Have a great day!

Papertry Inspired Stamping Bella

This is a tote that we made on the cruise in one of Nicoles Papertrey classes. I loved the way Nicole designed this tote and her use of colors. Don't you just love the Kraft, yellow and white together? I still haven't put the other half of this project together, which is a note pad cover....I need hands on instruction! LOL! Isn't this a really cute tote?



I'm still organizing all of my goodies from our goodie bag and wanted to work with one of my new Stamping Bella stamps, called 3 Whimsey Flowers using this lovely color combo. I used a dotted cirlce from SU's Polka Dot and Posies set to stamp the background, and also used SU Weathered BG over the stamped Flower image. I used a Martha Stewart punch to create the borders and glued some ribbon behind the border to add a splash of color. All the ink is SU's Whisper White Kraft Ink. I added some stamping bella yellow baubles and some stickles and some ribbon to complete my card.



Thanks for stopping by today!
Have a great day.

I'm Back!

The cruise was such a blast! I'm still rocking! LOL!
We had such a great time. I can't even begin to tell you how much we enjoyed ourselves.
We got so much loot in our goodie bags that I had to buy another suit case to bring it all home in. Unfortunately, my sister took home the bag for me so I can't post a picture of all our goodies, but as soon as I get my stuff I'll show you what we got!
All three companies were so generous! Stamps galore, ink pads, coloring pencils, cutting tools, punches, paper, baubles, ribbon and so much more were packed into a backpack for us. And then, during classes more stuff was given to us! Emily and Nicky from Stamping Bella were so nice...they took us under their wing and we had so many laughs together! I love my new sistahs! MWah to them....and their husbands! I really think that we have new life long friends!
Gina K is just as nice as you think she is. So calm and easy going. We made some beautiful projects in the classes that she held.
Nicole had some wonderful projects for us as well. Her stamp sets are beautiful and her classes were a real challenge! lol
I promise to take pictures of everything we made and brought home. But for now, here are some pictures of me, my sister Marlene and my sister in law, Elizabeth goofing off at Margarettaville in Ocho Rios! And some pictures of the cruising stamping rock stars!
