I can just imagine the smile on Shirley's face as she created this heartfelt swap for our recent stamp club. I love the way she cut the front of the card at an angle to reveal a hint of the warm wishes inside!

Have a Happy Valentine weekend everyone!

Shelle's Valentine Treat

It's always fun to see what Shelle will come up with as her treat for a holiday - I just love her cute Valentine for this year!

Sweet Translucent Evelope Book

Just before Christmas our stamp club had a wonderful gathering and we all shared sweet treats that we'd made - everyone wanted each other's recipes and so we decided that our first project of 2011 would be a recipe book where we could share all our wonderful ideas.

We used our fabulous new build a cupcake punch, along with FREE Sale-A-Bration ribbon, buttons and Designer Paper - Have you earned your FREE Sale-A-Bration goodies yet?

Each member of the group brought along a picture of their treat and the recipe and now we have a wonderful collection of recipes to go along with our special memories of our Holiday 2010 gathering.

My next plan is to make some of these cut books for new moms, so that they can create simple but special memory books.

Thank you as always to my wonderful stamp club - you inspire me every day!

On a personal note, please accept my apologies for the lack of posts this year. We began homeschooling our son in January and so life has been a little different. Home school is going really well and the biggest and most unexpected bonus has been a huge improvement in our little man's health.

I promise to try and update my blog more often as we settle into our new routine! Thank you to everyone who has called, emailed and written to offer their support and understanding, it means the world to us!
