Lively birthday!

 

So, two of my babies are growing up next month!  My son will be 10 and one of my daughters will be 7 . Here is the invitation card I made for their BBQ/ pool party!  I used in colors but did go with a retired set of Lively Little Ones, I just thought it was cute with the kids and the dog in the pool (our 100lbs puppy is always swimming with the kids!)

Little milk containers * petits contenants de lait

Here is a little project I made late Wednesday night which explain the reason why it is not more decorated but I just love the template! I promise I will make more and they will be more inspired!

These containers would be great for giving fancy teas, little candies, chocolates. etc...

Box #2

 

Voici un petit panier créé à partir de 2 petites boites #2 faites avec la Big Shot.  Encore une fois, ceci est un projet qui ne demande que quelques minutes puisque la Big Shot fait tout le travail pour nous!

Here is a little basket made witht he BIg Shot Bigz XL die Box #2.  Again, this is a oroject that only requires a few minutes as the Big Shot does all the work for us!  Thanks to CC for the inspiration!

 

Make & Take 2

Here is the second M&T we did a quick card done with the movers and shapers for the big shot. Obviously we used the heart shapers and the matching heart punch. The SS is Priceless. Colors are Bermuda Bay and Certainly Celery

Voici le 2ième project, une petite carte réalisé avec les movers and shapers de coeur et le poinçon coordonnant. Le jeux d'estampe est Priceless et les couleurs sont célerie et baie des bermudes.

Make and Take 1

So, I spend most of my life running around like a chicken with its head cut off (really I wonder about that expression but you understand what I mean) and therefore when the day of my open house rolled around and it was about 4pm and I still had not designed or prepped my M&T for 17 people, I knew I had to do something that required little prep work. I already knew I wanted to use the big shot, so here is what I went for:

This is a bag made with the Fancy Favor Bigs Xl die. The SS used is Hello again. It seriously takes less than 2 minutes to put the bag together, then all you have to do is decorate it!

Comme je passe la majorité de ma vie à courrir comme un chien qui se cour après la queue, il n'était pas surprenant lorsqu'à 16heures le jour de mes portes ouvertes je n'avais toujours pas conçue ou préparé mes Make & Take. J'avais déjà planifié me servir de la Big Shot et mon manque de temps a solidifié cette pensée. Voici le premier projet que nous avons fait, un petit sac crée avec le Bigz XL die petit caprice. Ça prends litéralement moins de 2 minutes à réaliser le sac. Ensuite nous lAvons décoré avec le jeux d'estampes Salut à toi .

Treat box ** boite à friandises

 

Here is the treat box featured in the catalog at page 159.  It is idea for giving little chocolates or baked goods as it is food safe!

Voici la boité à friandises qui figure à la page 159 du livre d'idée.  Une petite chose à noter: chaque paquet à 5,25$ contient 5 boites.  Elle sont idéales pour les petites gâteries car elles sont sécuritaire pour la nourriture.  En plus, un rien ne les habille!!

Une petite tasse de thé?** A little cup of tea?

When I first recieved the new Razzleberry Limonade DSP I thought I had t cover up a Lemon Mango tea tin with it, I thought the copors were perfect!

On top of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, I am an Epicure Consultant. Epicure is a great Canadian company that makes wonderful spices, dips, rubs, sauces, teas (just to name a few products) and has a a great cookware. Anyway, their teas come in these great tins to keep the tea fresh. They are perfect for altering. You can even keep them and use them for other gifts too!

I can have Epicure orders shipped anywhere in Canada, so if ever you are interested, in any products, let me know.

Tis is what the tins look like when they arrive...

Photo organizer

I made this on Wednesday and it could really be used to sort anything you like, mail, photos, bills, recipes.... I decided to amke a space for each of my children and seperate photos I was to scrapbook. I used the new Thoroughly Modern DSP from SU becasue it amtches their new organizational line and I already have tohe new file folders! (You can see them a bit at the bottom of the top picture). I used new In Colors Bermuda Bay and Soft Suede as well as rose red. I will offer this course and will soon be posting the details!

Thanks for stopping by!
