EVERYONE LOVE A "CHOCOLATE BUNNY"

This is another card that my sister, Shirley, designed for one of our camps. She stamped the chocolate bunny (#116980) from the Occasions Mini Catalog on Whisper White cardstock (#100730) and layered it on Chocolate Chip cardstock (#102128). The carrots in the background are made from the Pick-A-Petal (#115042) and Priceless (#115052) stamp sets. Pumpkin Pie (#105117) and Old Olive (#100702) stamp pads were used.

The Priceless and Pick-A-Petal sets are a "must have" - both sets are so versatile.

"SCRAPPY CARDS"

Aren't these pretty cards? My sister, Shirley, made them for one of our camps. She used four 1" scraps of designer paper for the bottom of the card and used the eyelet border punch (#113692) on a piece of whisper white cardstock (#100730) on the top of the card. Stampin' Up! ribbon was used as well as the little butterfly from the Flight of the Butterfly (#111564) stamp set.

What a great way to use your designer paper scraps!!!

Check out Shirley's blog at http://thedailystamper.blogspot.com/ to see other pretty cards and projects that she has made.

"SHARE YOUR TALENTS"

This past Sunday our minister's sermon was on "Share Your Talents". While sitting in church I thought about what talent I could share.

I love to sew so I have decided to make baby quilts and donate them to the wonderful children's hospitals that we have in Charlotte.

What talents do you have that you can share with others?

HAPPINESS IS -----------"

Happiness is seeing your granddaughter become a creative young lady.

My youngest grandchild, Jessie, is almost 9 years old and is very creative. She loves all sorts of paper crafts, especially making cards. She has even made several pillows on the sewing machine, with Nana's help.
Jessie loves to give her projects away. She made the St. Patrick's Day cards for her Dad and her two aunts and their families. She made the pillows for one of her aunts and another one for her Dad.

It's so rewarding to see you grandchildren enjoy some of the same things that you do.

WEAR "GREEN" DAY!!!!

DON'T FORGET TO WEAR GREEN TODAY!!

This is a card my sister, Shirley, sent to me wishing me a Happy St. Patrick's Day. It's made from a "retired" stamp set, Pinch Proof. The little leprechaun is so cute. There are just some stamp sets that you don't to get rid of and this is one of them.

I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT ST. PATRICK'S DAY AND TRY NOT TO GET PINCHED."
