Birthday Card for Sue

Here is the birthday card I made for my stampin sister, Sue Kment.  She is my inspiration when it comes to stamping - she does a beautiful job with her crafts as you can see here on her blog...

December Stamping Club Projects

This month at our Stamp N Share Club we made 4 projects, had a cookie exchange and a card swap - lots of fun.  Katie was out hostess and brought these 2 projects...






Here are the other two projects I brought...








Merry Christmas

I think I feel like making some Valentine cards and boxes for the meeting in January - what do you think?  It is just around the corner!

Christmas 2009


Today we had a great day spending it with family.  We enjoyed each others company, had lots of great food that Papa prepared for all of us.  His Prime Rib was great as usual.  The granddaughters had a great time opening their presents and playing together.  They both got lots of Barbie's and Barbie stuff (a jeep for Maddie and a purple car for Abby plus lots of Barbie furniture and a house!)  Boy I would have been in Barbie heaven if I would have gotten this stuff when I was a kid!


One of the most special things I received was this hand made card from Rick.  He told me he was going to stamp me a card and asked for some paper and asked where the tool was that crinkled the paper (the cuttle bug embossing folders) I handed him some paper and the Cuttlebug Folder and left my craft room.  This morning I opened his beautiful card.  Here it is..the photo doesn't it do it justice.  On the bottom picture he wrote all the families names...he really put some thought into it.
