When Life Gives you Limes....

My inspiration today was twofold, my cousins birthday is tomorrow and we are going to my aunt's for tacos and margarita's tonight. I have this fun margarita stamp and saying from AMuse Art Stamps that I had yet to ink and my favorite Tart & Tangy set from SU!.

I used Taylor VanBruggen's, Friday Cupcake Challenge #29 as my layout for this card, I thought the circles were perfect!

I used the retired Wild Wasabi SU! ink and my circle punches. I just love how this turned out, exactly as I had it pictured in my head!

Here is the front:

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Build A Brad Bracelet

I've mentioned several times before that SplitcoastStampers.com is my FAVORITE site for inspiration. Today while browsing online I discovered a thread about making bracelets and found Patty Bennett's site and this post for her Build A Brad Bracelet. I had to try it out right away!

I knew I had an antique brass colored Build A Brad set, so I went to Michael's and purchased some Blue Moon chain, toggles, and charms. I used my retired SU! Ginger Blossoms Designer Series Paper, a 5/8" punch and some jewelry pliers. I think it turned out pretty good for my first try. I wish I could get a better picture, I don't have one of those fancy light boxes and for some reason mine always come out a little dark even though I have a light right there. Oh well, someday I'll figure out the photography!

Good Morning! I didn't have time for a project last night, we all had eye appointments and of course everything took longer than we thought. Then I got caught up watching the Olympics!

As I mentioned yesterday Stampin' Up! is entering it's 20th year and I think it's going to be a great one! Lots of specials are already going on and even more coming up. I thought I would take a moment to highlight one of my current favorites, they Never Been Seen Before Special. Stampin' Up! has never offered specials on brand new sets before like this! They are offering a 15% discount on brand new sets! Contact me today if you're interested in any of these great sets or if you need your new Idea Book & Catalog!

Yeah! Stampin' Up!'s new Catalog is Here!

I have my new catalog in hand, my wish list made, now just need to figure out how I'm going to pay for all this fun stuff!

If you are interested in a catalog, please let me know! I have them available for $7.50 which includes shipping! Email me right away to make sure you get one.

SU! also has lots of fun specials as this starts their 20 Year Anniversary Celebration. I think it will be an exciting year for all of us. I know they plan on rolling out Online Ordering capabilities this fall, so make sure if you want to place an order, click on my SU! Website link in the margins!

I hope to do some stamping later tonight and will have something to share soon!
