A Sad Goodbye

I am so sad to say my 1 year term is up and this is my last past. It has been such a wonderful year of making new friends and sharing Great Impression Stamps with everyone out there. 

I am excited for the new girls starting their new terms with such a fun and wonderful group.

With all that being said I am sharing a card I made using some yummy things sent to me from Mary. We did a Christmas swap sending each other some yummy goodies to create with. 

She sent me some yummy papers, washi tape, and this great sentiment. The stamp is called Said the Butterfly. I added the pearls to make the card a little more. She sent me a lot more goodies than what you see here and boy am I excited to play around with it!

So said goodbye and a happy hello. 

Happy New Years to everyone. 

Winter Trees

Merry Christmas Eve everyone. I really hope everyone has made it safely to their destinations and that people get to spend time with their loved ones. I know I am excited to spend Christmas with my family as I haven't gotten to the last two years. So all my Christmas cheer and baking has been exciting.

Today is my post for 

The Great Impressions Stamps

So today I am sharing a little holiday cheer with you. I used the stamp Peace and Happiness and the stamp Snowy Trees. I stamped the image with embossing ink and embossed the image with Forest Green EP, added glitter using glossy accents, and embellished with jute ribbon.

I made this a simple easel card. 

PLEASE BE SAFE FOR THE HOLIDAYS!!!!!

Joy with Bulbs

How is everyone cooping with getting ready for the holidays??? Does everyone have enough cocoa where it is cold and enough lemonade where it is hot????

I am sharing my post with you today for 

Great Impressions Stamps

Today I used the stamp Joy with Bulbs to add to my tea light holder.

I couldn't find the right glass container to put in here with the candle. I am sure there are tons out there due to the holidays but finding the right one I should have been a little better prepared. 

I used a spellbinder die to cut out the stamp. I have no clue what papers these were I just grabbed them out of my Christmas stash. 

This is a fun project and easy for anyone to create. It is a great piece for the mantle and you can create a bunch of them easy as gifts to give. Maybe even get a few stamps for stocking stuffers!

Merry Kiss Moose

Today I have a post to share that I made for

 Great Impressions Stamps

I am so excited to share with you a fun Christmas card I made using stamps from our newest addition to the Great Impression family of stamps.

For my card I used Merry Kiss Moose H236 and Happy Hearts B229

I cut Merry Kiss Moose out using a circle spellbinder die and colored him with copics and added some stickles to his shiny ornaments.

Here you can see the whole card and I love that I was able to use this fun Bo Bunny paper for the card. 

Don't forget this is a release week so check back daily to see more new stamps. 

A Little Yellow

 How was everyone's Thanksgiving???? I hope everyone had a wonderful time and safe travels.

Today's post is for 

The Great Impressions Stamps

Well I made a fall style card using the stamp Daisy Flourish (E702).

I colored the image with copics and added some Sonic Silver Glitter from Sparkle n Sprinkle on the little flowers so they look like silver bells.

I used the spellbinder die label four I believe and inked all my edges with distress ink. 

The ribbon is from The Ribbon Girl.... I love the quality of the ribbons she sells!

The papers are from My Mind's Eye from a release I believe they had last year! 

Hope you like my simple creation. It is my final fall style card I think for this year.

Thanks for stopping by and hope I made a Great Impression.

On a personal note my son is such a wonderful addition. I really love when he tries to eat my face. I know it sounds crazy. If your a cuddle mommy and your have your baby close to your face... they wobble everywhere no matter how you hold them, but Avery loves to give me open mouth " I want to eat your face mommy" kisses.


This is him 2 days old!

One of Those Days

Good Happy Monday to everyone. I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. 

Today I am sharing a card that kind of has multiple feels to it.  It is for

The Great Impressions Stamps

I used the stamps Those Days (B166) and Potted Kitty (E617)

This card it awesome too me.

Of course you can read into this several ways. I just love how the kitty is popping up out the flowers. 

One of those days is truly a great saying. It can be great or bad. For me it is great!

I used some some My Mind's Eye paper, spellbinder dies, twine, and half back pearls. 

Hope your having a great day.

Make a Wish

Today is a post for  

The Great Impressions Stamps

Did you have fun with last weeks guess our Christmas Carol??? I hope you did. This week we have another week of releases for you. Tons of fun Christmas themes coming your way this week.

So here is my creations using the new stamps

Whimsical Wish (E773) and Prince Charming (F534)

I colored Prince Charming with copics and that was a ton of fun. I am not best with greens but he turned out great. I used some Sparkle n Sprinkle Red Apple embossing powder to emboss the sentiment. I turned the sentiment into a banner by using a circle punch to chomp the ends off and some fun red ribbon along the boarder. The papers are from one of the new Bo Bunny collections. 

Also coming up we have another hop coming up for you!

Don't forget these either

This week we are doing something special at

Great Impressions Stamps

We are playing a little game of

"Guess That Christmas Carol"

Are you ready for another Carol? 

Don't let the Merry Christmas fool you I really hope you can guess this one. I am not sure what kind of hint I could give you so I don't give it away though.

 I really hope you find time to participate this week!!! We have so many fun creations for you. 

So for my carol card I decided to use the stamps 

Merry Christmas (C409) and Christmas Moose (F219)

I really had fun creating a single layer card. It is not something I do on a regular ever. I find it really hard. But I love seeing them and thought to give it a try!

Come back tomorrow to see what the next Christmas carol could be!

Come back next week also because we will have a new release for you.

Holiday Challenge

Hey Everyone. Happy Sunday. This is post one of two for the day. I will have another post up here shortly.

Today starts a new challenge for 

Great Impressions Stamps

Our theme this month 

Holidays 

( Show us your holiday themed creations)

Very Merry Sparkles and Dotted Winter Tree

I used these stamps to create something like a winter scene

I kept my card really simple as I am still hanging in there waiting for this baby to pop out. I have a scheduled c section for November 20th so I am getting everything ready. I am already dilated though but because of how big he has grown I am at risk of uterine rupture because I had an emergency c section with my daughter who just turned 3 on Halloween. 

So enough personal here is a little bit about my card.

I used some quick silver embossing powder from Sparkle n Sprinkle and some white detail embossing powder from Sparkle n Sprinkle. I also used some grey snowflake ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I used some pop dots to pop the Very Merry Christmas out and torn the edges to make it a little more textured.

Hope you play along with us this month!

Instant Witch

Happy Monday. Halloween is only a couple days away. Are you ready??? We are. We have even gone to a couple trick or treat parties and some community events already. This stamp is so fun and exciting and great for anyone. Today is my day for posting over at

Great Impressions Stamps

The stamp used is Instant Witch.

I used some brand new Echo Park papers, colored the image with copics, and added some Impulsive Purple glitter. The black ribbon was just for a border and a good friend Barbara gave me the idea for the broomstick (I used black cardstock, orange twine, and part of a Capri Sun straw).

Hope everyone has a wonderful Halloween!

Witches Brew

Today I have a post over at

Great Impressions Stamps

Well this is a creation I made in honor of the fun Halloween. I really loved making this tea bag holder.
I just had to use these two stamps for the tea bag holder.

Have Some Brew and Witches Brew
