My Ribbon Shares

I've had a lot of requests for my ribbon shares I have been running on SCS. I closed them on SCS because of new share posting rules, but I've just been innundated with people wanting to get this fabulous deal on ribbon. I started with just grosgrain and then branched out into organdy. From there, I found polka-dot organdy, then polka-dot grosgrain, gingham, and more.

I'm posting them here in order to show pictures and update shipping times. Anyone interested in participating in my shares can e-mail me at pinkhedgehog@yahoo.com.

The next series of posts will include the details of my shares.

I made this card, actually, I made 10 of them for the Christmas Card Challenge at Splitcoast. I wanted to use non-traditional colors. I took the inspiration for the colors from the printed vellum I acquired years ago from Creative Memories. I just love snowmen!!

Here's a my latest creation that I made for my secret sister on Splitcoast. I found these adorable jars at the supermarket and knew they'd be perfect for stamping. The center of each side has a nearly square spot, perfect for sticking a stamped image in.

My SS's name is Cary, so I made her this monogrammed jar. I filled it with 3 Musketeers, one of her favorite treats. The backside of the jar says "Stamp Treats", one other side has a saying and the last side has a stamped paisley.

This is a covered 3" x 5" notepad I made for some stamping friends. I made 6 of them altogether. All of the papers used are Stampin' Up! For the main cover, I used Close to Cocoa cardstock. The large embossed piece is Rose Red embossed with my Swirls A2 embossing folder and my Cuttlebug. I cut out the oval with my Sizzlets Window and Frame set (Oval #1) also using my Cuttlebug. The scalloped oval is punched out of Close to Cocoa with the Uchida Mega punch. The paisley is stamped in Rose Red with my Polka Dots & Paisley stamp set from SU. The grosgrain ribbon is from an unknown source. I stamped the word Happy, also from my PD&P set in Chocolate Chip prior to embossing the paper.

Getting Started

I've been thinking for years about starting a blog, but never got around to it. We've done lots of interesting things in the past few years and I have lots of hobbies, therefore, lots to talk about.

My first love has to be paper crafts of all kinds. I never met a stamping or scrapbooking tool I didn't like. I love the satisfaction I get from making things with my own hands that actually stay done. Most of the rest of my life, as a stay-at-home-Mom is spent doing things that get undone. I wash, they wear; I cook, they eat; I clean, they mess. When I stamp, it stays stamped!

I also love to cook. My latest new addition is a wheat grinder and a Bosch kitchen mixer. I have hundreds of pounds of wheat that my grandparents stored for emergencies. They died, and their wheat passed on to me, being the closest geographically. There's something so satisfying about grinding their wheat into flour and baking bread for my family. It's really, in an interesting way, brought me closer to them. I think of my Grandmother and her rolls she baked for us, knowing she used much the same methods and the same wheat to bake for us. I know I think of her every time I bake and wish she were here.

That's it for today. My first post to my first blog.
