Scratch Pad

This is the scratch pad I made to keep in my kitchen to write myself reminders...and my shopping list...it is just a freebie pad that came in the mail from some telemarketing company...and instead of throwing it out I altered it ...I didn't have to purchase anything extra...I used up scraps...papers...and embellies that I already had in my stash.

This is the recipe:
Stamp sets: perfect presentation(retired)...and just a note sentiment from wood cellar graphics.

*****

Card stock: dashing DSP(retired)...old olive...wild wasabi(retired)...and purely pomegranate(retired).
*****

Inks: wild wasabi.

*****

Additional supplies: snail adhesive...crystal effects...green acrylic rhinestones...gold cording(retired)...tag punch...sakura clear, green, and yellow glitter pens...red and green eyelets...small and large star punches...small and large rectangle punches.

All supplies from stampin' up unless otherwise noted.




It was difficult trying to take a pic of it...because the pad is so tall...but you can see most of it when I lay it on it's side...I love it...and it will come in handy when I need to jot myself a note...a nice gift out of something that otherwise would have gone in the trash.

Thanks for sharing the morning with me...enjoy the wonderful weather...and have a great holiday with your families...but most of all have a stampin' good day.

Kenzo...and Pay Pal

Woof...Woof...where is everyone???

I had several errands to run today...but I'm starting to see a little light at the end of the tunnel with this pay pal mess...I saw on SCS that several other people had this same problem happen to them...so I'm not alone or unique to this problem...I've just been lucky that it didn't happen before...some of the ladies on SCS are paying pay pal an extra $5.00 a month for some kind of security key...as far as I'm concerned I don't understand why you have to pay extra to a site that is suppose to be secure and protecting our accounts anyway...I'm praying it will all be over soon.

Thanks for stopping by this morning and have a stampin' good day.

The New Catty's Is Here And New Water Marks

The new catty is here and it's beautiful...here are a couple of my favorites goodies.

The cover has some lovely samples...I love the card...and butterfly project...and the books covered with the designer papers are beautiful...they would make great gifts.

This is a couple of the level one goodies...both of these I love...one set has a cupcake stamp...and the other stamp set coordinates with the new square scalloped punch...LUV it...there's even a new pack of DSP.

The new sympathy sets are very nice and can also make get well cards...pair the images with any other sentiment to even expand on the type of cards or scrappin' layouts that can be made.

The card stocks and papers are to die for...the lower right hand corner is my absolute fav...Bella Rose DSP.

The new punches include a square scallop punch... and a scalloped edge punch...LUV those too.

This set Stampin' Up donates a percentage to the Ronald McDonald house...Carol and I have been purchasing these special sets...since Stampin' Up started offering them a few years ago...I think we both will probably be getting this one also...it coordinates with the new square scallop punch...a must have...LOL.

These are my new watermarks from Dina over at

Mama Dini's Digi-Sig Diner

...a BIG thank you Dina for all the work you did on my watermarks...I love them...the top one has a Flourish back ground...and the bottom one has angel wings...and can't wait to start using them...I lost my original water marks when my computer crashed last month...I made sure that the new ones are now backed up in a file...thanks again Dina.

I hope to get back to stampin' this week...I missed not doing my early morning cards and projects...enjoy the beautiful weather...thanks for stopping by this morning...and have a super stampin' good day.
