Lovely Little Wreath

Hello stampers!

Another crazy busy weekend comes to an end.  We got a lot of packing done and emptied our storage place.  The garage is now filled with boxes, tools, and other household things ready for the big move in 5 short weeks.  Moving day will be here before we know it!

I managed to find a little time for stamping as well.  The April Paper Pumpkin kit has been staring at me for the past 10 days or so.  I finally took the time to put my kit together.  I changed my project up a little from the directions.  But, in addition to showing my project, I'm sharing the project from Stampin' Up as well.

Here is my project:


I changed up the flowers, the greeting, and the ribbon for my wreath.  For the greeting, I used the title stamp from the Choose Happiness set (#134198) that is soon to be retiring.

My bow is made from the Watermelon Wonder 1" Stitched Satin Ribbon (#140580), also retiring.

I also changed up the flowers and added a black center, which is simply a Pearl Basic Jewel (#119247) colored with a black sharpie.

I also added a touch of clear (#141897) and gold (#141898) Wink of Stella to each of the leave.

This was a really fun kit and I enjoyed putting it together!



If you are not currently a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, don't wait any longer!  I know you don't want to miss out on any more of these fun kits!

Choose Happiness for Stampin' Friends Blog Hop




Hello stampers,




Today I am joining this month's blog hop over at Stampin' Friends, a Facebook group, as one of the guest bloggers.  I am so happy to be part of this very talented group this month!

 Whether you have just left the magnificent creations of Andrea, or you are starting here, welcome to my blog!

This month's theme is all things animal.  I have to admit, I was a bit thrown by the theme this month.  But, after some thought, I decided to pull out one of my favorite stamp sets, Choose Happiness, and see what I could do.


The little bird saved my bacon by meeting the "animal" qualification!!!

For my second project, I created a money or card gift holder for baby.  I've seen this pattern on Pinterest by several different people.  I love how easy it is to customize for any occasion!  The Zoo Animals and B.Y.O.P. set make a really cute money holder for baby!






As luck would have it, all the sets I used for my projects are retiring with the end of the current Stampin' Up! annual catalog.  I am so sad to see them leave!

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you've enjoyed my projects.  Don't forget to keep leaving comments to be entered to win this month's prize package!

A Hive of Happiness

Hi friends!

What a beautiful day in St. Louis yesterday!  It was a day for playing hooky....but I didn't!  But I have to say, I wouldn't mind it one bit if the weather was like this year round!

I have a new card for you, but first, Stampin' Up! introduced a new photopolymer set yesterday and it's a cute one!  Yee-Haw #138107 $25.95






Really cute!  Agree?


Today's card is a different take on the Choose Happiness set.  I really enjoy trying different things with the images in this set!  Do you have a set you like to use over and over?  Which is your go to set?
