Blog Candy, CASEd Projects, and Lexi, Too

From the instant I first saw the layout in the Holiday Mini created with the Merry Moments Simply Scrappin' Kit, I knew I had to buy this kit.  I did CASE it almost exactly, although there are a few minor changes, like adding a couple of pearls.  I plan to use Christmas pictures of the Twins and Lexi to complete it later this year.

In addition, I CASEd this card, also made with the Merry Moments Simply Scrappin' Kit, which appeared in the October issue of Stampin' Success. 

Stampin' Success is magazine for Stampin' Up! demonstrators.  It is filled with so many creative ideas.  I look forward to it with anticipation every month.  If you would like to receive your own copy of Stampin' Success, consider taking advantage of the Halloween Spooktacular Starter Kit Special.  I tell you, the Halloween Printer's Tray is even more adorable in person!  I just wish I could keep mine.  From the moment Brady saw it, he wanted it for his apartment!  Click here for more information about joining my Stampin' Up! family. 

Lookin' Like a Show Dog

Little Lexi is really looking fabulous!  Can you believe she will only be 5 months old on September 17th?  She looks like a "big girl", standing so pretty for the camera!  And in case you are wondering, yes, those are Breathe-Rite strips in her ears.  Her cartilage is still strengthening, and this is a very gentle way to help her ears stand.  This picture was sent to me by her handler, Rhonda, who knows how much we miss our baby girl.

As a little treat, I have two new stamp sets from last year's Holiday Mini...Festive and Fun and It's a Wrap Holidays.  I thought they were adorable, but I never did get around to inking them up.  Does that ever happen to you?  With the holidays quickly approaching, I thought maybe one of you could put them to good use.  

 

In addition, I am starting to downsize my stash of favorite cards that I couldn't bear to part with right after creating them.  I am including this Nature Walk card.  

All you have to do is a leave a comment on this post, or Saturday's and Sunday's posts.  I will randomly select a winner from all comments left through 10:00 PM CST on Monday, and announce the winner on Tuesday.  I am sorry, but I can only ship to US addresses, as per Stampin' Up! guidelines.  HOWEVER, if the first randomly selected name is from outside the United States, I will send you a consolation prize of three of my favorite cards, if you would like.

So...let's get started on those comments!  They are important to me, and I do read each and every one of them.  Of course, I am always ready to answer any questions about the cards that I create or the techniques I use...I am only an email away!  Until next time...
