I LOVE Hedgies!!!

My first Stampin' Up! party, back in 1999, I was immediately drawn in and hooked by the Hedgehogs they had. At that time, you could only get them for hostess sets, so I had to have a party to get my first set! After that, they came out with more sets for purchasing and I went wild! Then I found out about Penny Black and it was all over after that! I've been "hoarding" hedgies ever since! This card used a stamp I've had for years. It's one long stamp but is using it piece by piece in the square. I CASEd from someone on SCS, but I love the card and the new use for this long stamp.

Oh summertime lemonade!

I made this card using Penny Black stamps. I've had these forever and have wanted to use them to make this type of card. It is actually a CASE from someone on SCS, not sure who now, but I really love it! The designer paper is from Stampin' Up! and so is the cardstock, Barely Banana and Pretty in Pink. I made the sentiments on the computer and cut them out. I also used my big scallop punches, which I love! It says, "When life hands you lemons, make lemonade and call a friend." I really like my other sentiment better, that I've used on a Bella card swap before, having to do with tequila and a worm, but this was too cutesy for that.

Whassssssuuuuuuppppp?!!! I've been sooo busy!

Wow, I cannot believe it's been a month and a half since I've posted to my blog! Daily life with three kids is getting the better of me, between kids' medical appointments, kids sick, pre-school, special classes at our house, and then my birthday and a week with my in-laws here..... have I missed anything?!!! I have managed to make a few cards. I have been back to my ol' standby favorite, Penny Black Hedgies!!! Hope you like them... I'll be posting some new Bellas soon! Just received my news ones... Yogabella, Booboobella and Tinkerbella! Can't wait to play with my new Bellas and all my goodies from my Bella Sistah (see picture attached!) Thanks for stopping by!
