Happy Birthday to Mom!

Finally!! I can share my mom's Birthday gift with all of you!!! Her Birthday is the same as mine, January 17th, but our family Birthday party just kept getting pushed back and back, finally we got together yesterday to celebrate January & February Birthdays so she's received it and I can share it!

First, here is the card:

And a close up of the card…

Then here is the box for her gift that I made to match the card:

The charms are reversible, here is the other side!

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

• This set is ALL about vintage stamping!! Shelli gave a Vintage Stamping Presentation and Leadership and I fell in love… ever since, I've been ALL over it! In fact, I'm going to be teaching a Vintage Stamping & Stencils Class as part of our Spring Retreat in April!
• The thing I've been using most in my vintage stamping is the "Color Spritzer Tool" and a Chocolate Chip Marker. That's how I've gotten the splattered look you see here and there, see the flower pictured to the right for a sample of what I mean.
• I've also been using the heck out of the Pretties Kit with Vintage Stamping! I just love pulling in some pearls and "bling". While the Pretties Kit has some fabulous Rhinestone Brads, I've actually been using the Self-Adhesive Rhinestones in the Egg Decorating Kit right now. I just love the ease of peeling and sticking them on!
• Another great element to Vintage Stamping is creating some Shimmer Paint Mist by combining Rubbing Alcohol and Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint in a water spritzer and spritzing your cardstock or DSP with it.

Banana Split & Cocktails Pajama Party Invite!

Yupp! Still gearing up for Regionals!!! Here's another look at where my Stamping Time has gone — I made up 35 of these Banana Split & Cocktails Pajama Party Invitations!

And I thought I would show you how I bundled all of the Regional Packets that I put together for our group — This was all of the information I had for them, invitations and info for special events & the Regional itself…

And then I folded a piece of 12 x 12 Designer Paper in half, put all of the info and invites inside and tied a piece of ribbon around, so this was what they got in the mail to open:

Phew! What a ton of work! Now that all of that's done, and all of my swaps are done, I've got lots and lots of stamping and creating to do for gifts and prizes for Regionals and all of the special events we're doing around it! Plus, I have to get designing some Shoebox Swaps! Needless to say, It's going to be a busy two weeks!
