I kept seeing all these darling wreaths made out of other stamps like leaves and berries, pine cones, etc. and I knew I couldn't resist trying myself. This was my first try and I'm sure it would have been a little better if I masked a circle. But I just free-handed. It turned out better than I expected, hehe. This leaf (as well as the little berry thingy-sounds official, doesn't it?) is from the Autumn Days stamp set.
Sorry, I just realized how long it has been since my last post. I assure you I have been stamping :) Just not blogging, I need to work on that. Tonight I was working on getting ready for a workshop. One of the projects will be this adorable little bag. I have been totally in the Christmas mood. I just skipped right over Halloween and Thanksgiving...I just love Christmas. Anyway, This is the Stampin' Up! Fancy Favor, and Rudolph is made from punches and Stampin' Up! Little Leaves sizzlits die for his antlers. I will posting again tomorrow, I promise. I need to get caught up and post all of the cards and projects I have been working on. So make sure you check back!

This was a card I made for a swap a while back. It uses the new in colors, melon mambo and soft suede. As well as a new hostess stamp set, Kind and Caring Thoughts. It also features some Stampin' Up! designer paper and polka dot ribbon. I colored the flower image with Stampin' Write Markers so I could get a multi-colored flower. Thanks for looking.

I made this card with my 4 year old daughter. She requested butterflies. I love the grass from the Inspired by Nature stamp set. She was thrilled to use my Big Shot and make the butterfly using Stampin' Up!'s Beautiful Butterflies die. This card went to our teenage neighbor for all her help playing with the kids this summer. I hate to see it end :( I loved the much needed time to myself for a couple hours a week....
