Sheltering Tree

Sheltering Tree has been a fun set to work with. It has many accessories to go with tree. I used several of the on my cards but there are others that I didn't use. There are also some great words that go with this set too.

Here I used the tree and added the flowers on the ground. To get the two toned look to the tree, I stamped the leaves and then stamped them again but I twisted the image just a touch so the leaves would be in a different place. Looking at this card, I do wish I would have added the tire swing to the tree. It would add a whimsical element to the card. Besides, who doesn't love a good tire swing! #simplestamping

I focused on the tree again. I off stamped the leaves again too. This time I stamped to the side of my card and added the strips of cardstock to the other edge. Boy, that tire swing would look good here too! I think I missed the boat! #simplestamping

I didn't use the tree this time. I used the bike that is in this set. My husband has done quite a bit of biking in the past. I believe he biked over 2000 miles in one calendar year, about 2 years ago. I thought of him while I was making this card.

I have use Sheltering Tree for several other projects. I don't think I shared them here though.  I have a couple of more retiring sets that I have created cards with. I am hoping to share them soon!

Happy Stampin'!

Prom Program

You might remember that I made 180 Prom invitations for the high school that my daughter's attend. The school's tradition is to give every junior and senior, as well as the staff, an invitation to prom. They are put on the kids lockers so that when they come back from spring break the invites are hanging on their lockers. The juniors and their parents are in charge of all things prom. HERE'S the link to the invitation that I created with some help from another parent and 3 of the juniors.

At the prom, there are programs on each of the dining spots at the venue. This is the program that I made. I think I did 150 of these.

I had fun creating these and the invitations but it tends to be a huge undertaking and I'm very thankful that this is done and I won't have a junior again for 3 years!

Happy Stampin'!

Prom invitations

My daughters attend a Lutheran high school in Somers, WI. The traditions there are that the junior class puts on prom for the senior class. The parents of the juniors are pretty heavily involved. 

I have a junior this year and my reputation precedes me! In this case, that's a good thing. I was asked to design and create the invitations. It's the school's tradition that every junior and senior receive an invitation to the prom on their locker when they return to school after spring break.

Here's what I created with another lady's help!

The information on this card is not correct. I was just trying to make sure that I had enough room for everything and just plugged in information. We did use a Cricut to cut the stars out, and vellum and brads from Hobby Lobby. Otherwise this is all Stampin' Up! That center star started as a white star. Lots of love in these beauties!

Oh, did I mention that I made 180 of them?!? Yep, not always sane!

What's the most of something you've ever created?
