Gina's Little Corner of StampinHeaven

I was sitting at my craft table tonight trying to get inspired.  I caught sight of my Hopscotch WOTG kit that my clubs had just recently completed.  I had created a layout that used the Hopscotch Compliments for them but we didn't use them all.   I had just enough papers left to create a couple of cards using my leftover compliments. Here is the first card: This was fun to create!  I used the File Folder sketch from the Wishes.  I stamped "HELLO" on the speech bubble in Indian Corn Blue.  This stamp is from the set Have a Happy Day (D1616) .   I love the conversation bubble zip strip!  After adding the zip strip I tied a bit of Flaxen Extra Thick Twine around the card. Here is my second card.  It's pretty simple. This card was inspired by a card I saw in the upcoming Seasonal Expression 2 book coming out in April!  I used the round circles for flowers.  My stems are created from brackets and the leaves are created usin...

Well after a nice long break from work for the Holidays, its back to work I go.  Working in Finance means there is no 'easing' back into the grind but jumping in with both feet and then swimming like the sharks are following you in attack.  I did get to do some creating while I was off - some for fun, some for classes and some because I needed to.   The card I'm sharing today is one I created for a friend.   I hope it brought her just a little bit of love and heartfelt sympathy.   The stamp set that I used - Happy To Be Friends is becoming a favorite.    Recipe: Hopscotch Paper  Indian Corn Blue Cardstock Quarterfoil Embossing Folder Stamp:  Happy To Be Friends Flaxen Ink Indian Corn Blue Ink Sunset Ink Desert Sand Ink Artiste Cricut Cartridge Happy to be Friends - C1605

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!  I can't believe how fast this year went.  My December was so busy I hardly had any time to do anything fun in my scrap room! Well now that Christmas is over and I have a few days off from work, I'm trying to do a little creating. In February my Hostess Clubs will be creating this layout from the Hopscotch WOTG kit.  The feature layout is so cute and it uses the Artbooking cartridge.  There were only TWO cuts with the paper trimmer for this layout! With the leftover papers from the kit and the Hopscotch Compliments that I added, I created a second layout.  This layout has no stamping. If you are interested in joining my Hostess Clubs or starting a club of your own, contact me for more details today!  My new session of clubs will begin in February and run through July.   These are the 2 layouts we will be doing in February.
