One of the toughest things for me in blogging is coming up with a snappy title for my blog posts. I know how to write and create cards and other papercrafts but for some reason I get stuck on my titles. Anyone out there hear me on this? That one stumbling block can hold up my posting.
I had my monthly stamp club last night. Here are my projects from this month's stamp club.

I cased this idea from Heather Klump. The image from Elementary Elegance is embossed with clear embossing powder. Then I sponged it with soft suede ink. The middle is punched out with the curly label punch and stamped with the "Hello" from the same stamp set. I used the hearts embosslit on the label and the new buttons from the Occasions mini catalog. The stamp set is one of the Sale-a-bration items you can earn for FREE with a $50 purchase through March 31.
On this card I used the Sale-a-bration stamp set, Fresh Vintage, and more of that yummy designer paper, Everyday Enchantment. The edges are die cut with the Edgelits and embossed with the Adorning Accents embossing folder. The banner is from the petal cone die. Since discovering this banner I can't stop using it! The image is punched out with the 2 3/8 Circle punch and backed with one of the Label Collection Framelits die.
I combined ideas from a couple of ladies on this treat container. The ribbon idea and the cherries with this paper came from Erica Cerwin. The treat container came from Karen Squires. The cardstock is Calypso Coral and the designer paper is from the Sweet Shop pack from the Occasions mini catalog. The hearts are embossed for an extra cute look.The stamp set is from the Occasions mini catalog and is called Mouthwatering.
I'm off to visit a college with Rebecca this weekend. She's still trying to narrow it down. She qualified for a chance at a scholarship by writing an essay on diversity. She is one of 600 to make this cut. After interviewing this weekend they will award 100 of them $5000 scholarship each year for 4 years. Wish us luck! Doug is holding the fort at home with the boys.
Thanks for stopping by today!
