Hello!!!! I have all the Brand New Basic Grey here now and MAN is it GORGEOUS!!!! I couldn’t WAIT to dig into it! LOL!! I made a card for the WT challenge on SCSers this morning, but it ended up not having one ounce of stamping on it.I am not sure that I have ever done that before. It sort-of became my goal to use ONLY Basic Grey lol. It ended up being like 97% lol!!
Anyway, the challenge was to use scallops and since I know how to do the slit punch scallops thanks to Julia’s tutorial I used those! HERE is a link to my store to see this beautiful Infuse line! I just got Around the Block in the store too! SOOOO fun! Thanks so much for looking! HUGS!!!!!

Designer Paper: Infuse by Basic Grey
Ink: Walnut Distress Ink (Ranger)
Accessories: Polka Dot Ribbon (May Arts) Paper Piercing Tool, Slit Punch Chocolate Chip Marker, Sponge, Pop Up Glue Dots and Silver Brad (Stampin’ Up!) Get Well Rubon (Basic Grey) Glitter Gel Pen (Shakura)

Hope your all having a great weekend!! I’ve just been getting caught up from my trip! I had several orders waiting for me when I got home! It was like Christmas! lol. I ordered a few lines of paper from a company called Tinkering Ink! I LOVE them! You can see it HERE in my store! I love the colors! I should be getting the newest Basic Grey and Daisy D very soon too! WAHOO!
Before I left I made this Sympathy card for a dear friend of mine. Never fun cards to make, but I hope she will know I am thinking of her when she gets it. I used my new Stampin’ Up hostess set Garden Shilouettes. The flowers were cut out, sponged and put back on using pop up glue dots for dimension. I added stickles on them when I was finished.

HELLO!!! Hope you all had a great week!! We had a FANTASTIC trip! It’s always so beautiful up there! They boys had a blast too! We ended up seeing 7 grizzly bears! We saw one momma and 2 babies in Yellowstone, then 1 momma and 3 babies in the Tetons! We’ve been up there probably close to 50 times and NEVER seen that before! It was awesome! Here is a picture of one of them! I will share more pic’s in the days to come!
Before I left, I made these Bridal Shower invitations for my cousins fiance’s bridal shower! Her colors are Sage Green and Light Pink. The card didn’t end up having green at all, but I think that will be okay!
It’s a pocked card, you pull it out by the tab. The inside information was printed in a matching pink, then I stamped the little flower on them too! There are stickles on the umbrella! I can’t wait, should be a fun time! (Sorry about the bad picture…now they are all delivered so this is the best I can get lol)

Hello!! My mom’s birthday is on Thursday, so I made her this! She’s been wanting me to do something like this for awhile now! I am bringing it up to Jackson to surprise her!
I started by covering all the lacing cards in the Wanted paper by Cosmo Cricket (this is probably my ALLTIME favorite paper) and sanded the edges with my Basic Grey Sanding Kit. I then covered all the Basic Grey Chipboard Monograms in Natural Ivory paper and sponged the edges. I KNEW I had to use my Pines set, so I decided which pictures I wanted where and which ones worked with the letters and sort-of went from there!
I hesitated whether or not to put the flowers on it since my boys are on there, but I figured it’s for my mom so it would be just fine!




Stamps: Pines and Looks Like Spring (Stampin’ up!) Snap Stamps (Karen Foster)
Ink: Old Olive, Alwyas Artichoke, Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa, Really Rust
Cardstock: Natural Ivory, Chocolate Chip
Designer Paper: Calamity Jane, Kissin Kate, Buffalo Bill, Doc Holiday and Slue Foot Sue paper (Cosmo Cricket)
Accessories: Vanilla Organdy, Linen Thread, Sponge (Stampin’ Up!) Gingham Ribbon (May Arts) Flowers (Prima) Brads (Making Memories) Chipboard Monograms (Basic Grey) Buck Naked Lacing Cards (Cosmo Cricket) Ride em Cowboy patch (Karen Foster) Pewter Brad (Creative Impressions) Hardware (We R Memory Keepers)
I hope you all have a wonderful week! If you place an order from my store, I will get invoices sent late Friday night! I am off to the Tetons! Thanks! HUGS!!
