Switching to new blog: Stampingwithsockmonkey.com

Hi everyone!
Sorry I've been MIA for so long!  We finally made our long awaited move to Tennessee and I, at last, have settled in and have my scrapbook room up and running.  Those who know me know how crazy I am about Sock Monkey so it only seemed natural to rename my blog:  stampingwithsockmonkey.com.  I hope you will join me on my new adventure!

Making Dry Erase Boards and Coasters with Tiles

Hi Stampers! 

It's been a long while since I posted but I wanted to share a picture of the Dry Erase Board and matching Coaster I am making for Holly.  For those of you who aren't aware, her baby (a little boy!) is due on Christmas Day!  I'm making this for his nursery.  I made the matching coaster to sit on the stand next to her rocking chair for the coffee I know she is going to need!

If you would like more information on how I made them, leave a comment or drop me an email and I would be glad to share.

Happy Stamping!

Totally Tess Bookmark

Don't you just love this cool bookmark?  It was a 3D swap I received at Regionals from Terri Ransom.  I really love this stamp set but this is the first time I have seen it on anything but a card. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Marine Bulldog Thank you card

My husband asked me to make a thank you card for someone at the VA office who had helped him with a great deal of paperwork.  He said he was a retired Marine.  Although the stamp is not Stampin' Up!, all of the other products are.    Below is a picture of the inside.

Thanks for stopping by!

Note Pad and Pen Holder Project

Isn't this just the cutest project?  I wanted to make a note pad holder for someone special who is expecting a baby and wanted a place to write down questions for her upcoming doctor appointments.  I cased the crib from a card I saw on Ros Davidson's blog.  I just love it!

Here is a picture of the inside.

Stamped Gift Wrap Tissue Paper

Hi everyone!

Today I thought I would show you a better picture of the tissue paper I stamped for my friend's gift bag.  (You can see the original post here.)  After seeing how pretty this turned out,  I don't think I will ever purchase designed tissue paper again! 

By the way, did you notice my new blog banner?  I  have been playing with My Digital Studio for the last couple of days and with the help of a tutorial by Patty Bennett, I finally figured out how to make my own banner!  What do you think?   

One last reminder...today is the last day for ordering from the Occasions Mini Catalog.  This is your last chance to make your purchases before they are gone for good.

Happy Stamping!

Stamped Gift Bag Stampin' Up! Style

Today's share is a bag I made to hold a gift for my best girlfriend's birthday present. I used the Build a Blossom Stamp Set (#121923) and matching Blossom Petals Punch (#121808) to make the flower. I cased the design from a card by Dawn Griffith (my upline!). The flower was embossed with white embossing powder and I added some Dazzling Diamond glitter to the petals and the flower center. I used Baja Breeze cardstock, Springtime Vintage DSP, Baja Breeze Seam Binding Ribbon, and the Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. You can find all of these products in the Occasions Mini Catalog which will be available through April 30, 2011.

Happy Stamping!
