Quinceanera Stamp Set used as a Bride

This last weekend, I went to my upline, Mary Ann Bernhardt's stamp camp.  She turned our gift bag from Hispanic night into a cute card.  She used the same colors except added a beautiful touch of Frost White Shimmer Paint on top of the Pool Party dress.  I decided to keep her dress white and paint it with the Shimmer Paint.  I also added it to her gloves to accentuate them.  To add Shimmer Paint we used our Aqua Painters and dipped them in the Shimmer Paint lid.   Quinceanera Stamp Set girl is now a bride.  Isn't she adorable?

My Digital Studio hybrid baby shower invitation - Little Additions Stamp

I'm helping plan a sweet girlfriend's baby shower.  She chose the CuTeSt, most out of the 'pink & purple' box bedding I've seen.  Take a peek at the inspiration for the invitations: GLENNA JEAN MCKENZIE BEDDING

For these invitations I chose to make a hybrid project.  I wanted to added some layers, surroundings and ribbons... oh my!

Isn't it cute?

Notice the bedding.  I just created little squares of color and added a flower stamp.  So simple.

Small Heart punch
Lucky Limeade 3/8" Ruffled Ribbon

Stampin' Up! Convention 2012

Every summer our family tries to take a trip to Salt Lake City, Utah to see my brothers.  This year we conveniently pushed it back a couple of weeks so I could squeeze in STAMPIN' UP! CONVENTION 2012!  It was my first year to attend and man, am I buzzed.  I had such a wonderful time!  Met lots of Mary Ann's long time stampin' friends.  Learned lots of new techniques.  Learned lots of basic business rules... and my favorite, EARNED SO MANY FREE GOODIES!  I came home with 10 stamp sets, 8 packs of fabric, 2 pkgs of DSP and that was the free stuff.  We do not have to discuss Memento Mall spending.  ;)  Next year I'll be able to walk the stage for my FIVE YEARS!  I cannot believe October will be 5 years of being a demonstrator.

Onto my favorite part... Hispanic Night.  We created one of the cutest little gift bags with the Quinceanera stamp set.  I cannot wait to turn it into a card! To view all of the stamps in the set, view the catalog to the left.
