SAB Stamp Camp Card

So today I wanted to share a card I made with the Petal Parade SAB stamp set.  This set is just one of the items you can get FREE during SAB with a $50 order.  I've got to admit - this set did not appeal to me at all.  At first I thought I would not even get it - but I am so glad I changed my mind and did. 

Just look at this great card!  I got my inspiration from a card I saw on Splitcoast or Pinterest - it was very similar - and I thought what a great card.  So I changed it up a bit, put my spin on it, and I LOVE it!!

Added a few flowers to the inside of the card at the bottom and a few more on the envelope.  Such a fun set - and  you could change it up with many different color combos.  Hope you liked it!  ~Maureen

Student worker Valentine's

Just wanted to share the cute little treats I gave to my student workers for Valentine's day!  You might have seen my previous post of tootsie pop holders here - http://www.crazystampinglady.blogspot.com/2014/01/tootsie-pop-valentine.html so I changed it up a little bit and made these -

 Instead of using Tootsie pops I found the round strawberry and cream suckers at a local store and thought they'd be just perfect.  Here's a side view so you  can see the sucker.

 

 Lots of fun to make - and the gals loved them!! ~Maureen

Happy Valentine's Day!

Just wanted to share the Valentine I gave to my sweetie -

 So of the great Valentine goodies we got from the girls and grandkids -

 My gift to Paul -

 

and finally last night's dinner - steak smothered in sauteed mushrooms and onions, baked potatoes, steamed asparagus and Cranberry sparkling wine (needed something pink or red :) and coffee ice cream sundaes for dessert-

It was yummy and we had a nice evening together.  We're going out for dinner later this weekend - hopefully avoiding the Valentine crowds :)   ~Maureen

Valentine's for the Grandkids!

Today I wanted to share the FUN valentine's I made for my grandbabies.  I found these adorable Bubble Pens a few weeks ago at a Party store and loved them.  Many of you know BUBBLES are one of my favorite things - I have them at work and in nearly every room of my house.  I blow bubbles whenever I'm stressed -and watch my stress just blow away!! Blowing bubbles is also something I do so often with the grandbabies - so just could not resist these.

With a little Stampin'Up! MDS (My Digital Studio) magic I created the base card in the colors of the pens.  Then used a little ribbon left over from Easter decorating last year (sorry - not SU -which is rare for me).

And Voila!! a bunch of Valentines for some special sweeties all ready to be delivered with some candy treats!!  ~Love you all, Gramma

Gramma Day with Zavian

Recently I had a fun Gramma day with my sweet little Zavian.  We did some fun shopping and he picked out a new SHARK lego kit.  Just look at that sweet face.  We were lucky that Papa had a day off work -so they got to work on the legos together.

Then the three of us went for a yummy lunch at Red Robin.  It was so much fun just spending time with two of my specialest guys.

Wish I could just bottle up all these hugs for when I'm having a down day - nothin' better!  Thanks for a wonderful day baby boy!  ~Gramma
