Gummi Bears Birthday

I've been really anxious to play with the Sweetest Thing Bundle again.  Specifically the Gummi Bears!  They are just so cute and this paper displays a multitude of flavors, errr.. colors.

Have you used the Rectangles Stitched Framelits yet.  I love the way they work together and give a great stitched edge on each layer.

To make my frame I used what I'm calling frame #2 and #4.  When  you look at your frames, the largest one is #1 and then they go down in size from there.  I selected the 2nd and the 4th ones.  If you want a larger frame use #2 and #5.  To get a nice even frame, lay down the dies together, with the smaller one inside with your magnetic plate so they stay in place.


Recipe:
Gorgeous Grape - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
How Sweet It Is Designer Series Paper - for frame (at least 5 1/4" x 4" for #2 frame)
How Sweet It Is Designer Series Paper - for inside frame - (at least 4 3/4" x 3" for # 4 frame)
Whisper White for stamping Jars

Stamps:  Sweetest Thing
Inks: Gorgeous Grape, Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay

ADDED TIP:  Use Tear and Tape to attach your bow.  I usually use glue dots, but they just don't seem to hold, so tear or cut off a little piece of Tear and Tape and that ribbon will be attached permanently.



Since the Designer Series Paper is not sturdy like the card stock, I recommend using a good amount of Stampin' Dimensionals to give it support.  I cut mine in half so they last longer, PLUS, they fit better cut in half on this frame.


Inside Stamps - Detailed With Love
Ink:  Gorgeous Grape

 Second version, landscape style.




Thank you for looking in today!  Have a Blessed Sunday!

Happiness with a Friend

Before we know it, the new Annual Catalog will be here and that means now is the time to use up the Designer Series Papers to make room for new ones.  This is one of my favorites so it will be sad to say goodbye, but knowing Stampin' Up! there will be a lot of new fun papers to play with.


Recipe:
Crumb Cake - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Basic Black - 5 1/4" x 4"
Coffee Break DSP -  5 1/8" x 3 7/8"

Stamps:  Coffee Cafe - Sentiment stamped onto Crumb Cake
Ink: Memento Black



I hand snipped the sentiment into strips.  I wasn't careful to be straight and clean, it just didn't need to be.  Plus, that "p" in "cup" hangs down a bit, so that meant no straight line there! 


Don't forget to give the envelope flap a little love.  


One day closer to the weekend.  I'm really looking forward to Saturday.  My daughter-in-law has invited me to join her for a glass blowing class with her Mom and Sister.  I'm really looking forward to going and spending time with my new Daughter!

Thank you for looking in today!

My Favorite Place

Sunday I took a trip down to see my friend in Southern Arizona and I just had to make something for her.  Couldn't go down empty handed.  I'm sorry that it's a distorted picture, I didn't take the time to photograph it properly and just set it on the table instead!

I just love this adorable set - For the Birds - and it had the PERFECT sentiment for what I was feeling.  My favorite place to be is with my BFF!  The hours we used to spend together scrapping and stamping and even more hours online sharing our deepest darkest secrets.

I colored all the parts with various Blendabilities and really love how the wagon itself turned out.  So pretty!


Please continue to keep Danita in your prayers.  She looked really good to me and says she's feeling better.  I believe the prayers are working, so keep them coming!

Thank you for looking in today.  Have a great week!
