Sweet Pea Valentine's Gifts made from the Stampin' Up! Milk Carton Die

How adorable are these Valentine Gift boxes below?  They were created by my BFF Terry and I yesterday.

This was Terry's first Stampin' Up! project and I love what she did!  See Terry, even you can do what I do! 

This is our SECOND Reunion after almost 30 years apart, hence why it's her FIRST stamping  project.

I didn't want her to think (find out rather) I was a CRAZED Stampin' Up! Demonstrator on our first reunion visit.  I'm sure I talked enough about SU! ... but hey, this visit was FAIR GAME to involve her in Stampin' Up! fun,  poor thing, she didn't see it coming! 

She even made a Christmas Ornament, we are early for next year, NOT!  LOL  We were supposed to visit in December 2009 - the Saturday the North East had that HUGE Blizzard (2 FEET of Snow at the Beautiful Jersey Shore, IMAGE that), so we had to post-pone our second reunion to yesterday.... that is why she just made her Christmas Ornament ...  :)

Hope you did not run into too much traffic on your way back to Long Island, New York.  What a great friend, we live 2 hours apart, and she doesn't mind driving to me here in Brick, New Jersey (Exit 98 off the GSP). 

In the Spring I'll be meeting Terry in Brooklyn, New York (my ol' stompin' grounds), so we can visit our High School Coach Jack.  The last time I saw Jack... I was a junior in high school!   

Terry & I did call him yesterday and it was great to talk with him! It was the FIRST time I talked to him since I was 17 years young! 

Thank you FACEBOOK for reuniting Terry and I can't wait for the REUNION with Jack!!!

UGH, I forgot to take pictures of US yesterday Terry!

Terry may not be a stamper, 'yet', but as I shared in a previous post, she is very talented in other crafts... Below is another awesome gift she made for me! 

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Love Sparkles Card Pouch

Wow have my creative juices been flowing lately!  I went into my 'goodie box' and here is just one of the ideas I've been wanting to make in a long time!

All I used for this Sneak Peak CLASS Preview  was ONE Simply Scrappin Kit called Love Sparkles Item Number # 113918 on page 167 in the current Stampin' Up! Idea Book. You can make 2 - 3 Card Pouches from one Simply Scrappin' Kit!  Can you believe that!!!!

This adorable Card Pouch holds 3 unique cards on each side with six whisper white envelopes in the center of the pouch.

What a thoughtful gift for your Mom, Sister, Grandmother, Aunt or friend, don't you think?

Stay tuned for Class information!

Have a wonderful day!

Just The Write Stuff... in my Unique Keepsake Photo Album

Yes, it's true, I used just 'The Write Stuff Specialty package' Item #115674 on page 163 in the current Stampin' Up!  Idea Book to create this adorable and unique photo album!

Looking to create a little Keepsake Gift to a family member of friends?  Well with this kit, you can make up to four depending upon the size and design you pick out!

Below is a sneak peak at one of the albums I created with this kit, my Big Shot and Top Note Die!

I'll be offering this class soon, so stay tuned! 

Have a great day!

Creativity where ever you look...

The other day, 'last year'... I was organizing some of my things from the basement when I came across some canvas, yarn and cross stitching projects, I have not even started. 

There is a wonderful Animal Shelter in Brick, New Jersey where my family has received some blessings from (loving beagles).  So I always enjoy donating good things that will bring money in to their Thrift Store that goes 100% towards their shelter.

If you would like to donate or find more about this wonderful shelter, called Jersey Shore Animal Center, please click on  http://www.jerseyshoreanimalcenter.org/ 

I don't do yard sales, I  rather, donate to the Brick Animal Shelter or give to friends.

I have wonderful wooden items I'll be donating this week along with some stamps and other fun things. 

I found about 5 of these canvas pouches.... 

and immediately I saw a 'pattern' for a cardstock pouch!!  Do you see it!?!?  

If not, look below!

 Wow was this FUN to create!  I started out with Basic Gray Cardstock and picked Nouveau Chic Designer Series Papers Item # 115670 found on page 160 in the current Stampin' Up! Idea Book for the inside pocket & lining.  

 It will hold our normal 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 cards with envelopes!  How cool is that?

Stampin' Up! has taught me to look outside of the box, and by George, I think I've got it:)

You you all have a Wonderful & Happy New Year!
