“Berry” Special Sneak Peek

Hope you are in for some sweet surprises…this month’s release from WPlus9 is seriously superbly sweet!

The first set the WPlus9 Design team is debuting is Fresh Picked Stamp Set & Matching Dies. This set is so juicy & fun…get your inks ready!

Also, I finally got to play with the latest Paper Products Dawn has introduced to her fabulous line. Let me just say I’m in love…

I never thought there was a threat to kraft paper; till I met WPlus9′s Oatmeal Card Stock. The texture, the color, and most of the stampy-goodness of these papers is out of this world!

Here is my second card featuring this super fun set & die cuts:

Blackberries, Raspberries, Strawberries, Cherries…OH MY!

Make sure you check out what the rest of the WPlus9 Talented Design Team has rocking for Day 1 Sneak Peeks:

Cristina  |  Elise  |  Jean  |  Jinny  |  Lea  |  Savitri  |  Mrs. Wplus9: Dawn

Both Cards are made with WPlus9 Card Stock, Stamps & Dies / Stampin’ Up! Ink

Awesome WW Recipes Blog

Just a quick update on my journey down the scales…I’ve officially lost 18 lbs! 2 more till I will be dress shopping again.

I truly have fallen in love with the Points Plus Weight Watchers Program. It’s so easy & I love coming up with new recipes and trying out new flavors. I have some new ones to share…but real quick I wanted to also share an AWESOME blog a co-worker referred me to:

SkinnyTaste.com

And if you are a southern girl like me…you LOVE some Fried Pickles…well check these babies out:

I will definitely be making these this weekend!

Fun with Flowers

This Friday I have my first appointment with a potential florist for our wedding. I’m super excited.

One of my favorite wedding blogs is Style Me Pretty. I just came across their awesome Build a Board Tool.

(Kind of like Pinterest but a little more specific & you can make different layouts)

This is what I will be bringing to the florist for “inspiration” for our wedding:

// Bouquets //

// Centerpieces //

Baby Bump

Oh the joys of planning a wedding.

So excited for one of my girlfriend’s who just announced she’s due December 1! The only problem is, our wedding is December 9 (and her first son is to be our ring bearer)! I have to say I’m a little bummed she won’t be there most likely. But I do wish her the best & can’t wait to hear more about the little bundle of joy.

I know she would LOVE a little girl so this card is right up her ally:

This card is an entry for Moxie Fab World’s Card Creations Week: The Doilies & Lace Challenge. I just love the way this little one turned out. I started with a strip of patterned paper [Basic Grey] on some kraft card stock. Stamped the adorable little bunny & sentiment from Wplus9′s Kisses & Cuddles stamp set. A little twine bow and two girly roses make for sweet little cuddly card.

Purging the Pinterest

I decided to de-clutter my Pinterest page. 

1035 Pins / 43 Boards

Wow. That is way too much “Inspiration”

I thought going through all of them and cleaning it up would be difficult. But it was actually quite inspiring. Out of 1035 ideas / pins / I had accomplished 12 of them! Woop Woop! Too funny.

So now I’m down to 624 pins (at the moment) and only 24 organized boards. 

Another weight has been lifted! Do you have any pins you’ve actually conquered?

Groovin’ with Gingham

This card was created for a co-workers birthday…yes I seem to have officially become the Birthday Fairy around these parts.

But it’s so fun to walk around the office and see people proudly displaying my little ol’ cards.

This card is an entry for Moxie Fab’s: Card Creations Gingham Challenge

Yeah those are some good old Stampin’ Up Stamps I had in my way too big stash. I love the houndstooth pattern mixed with the gingham fabric tape. The contrast really makes this piece POP! Hope you are having a wonderful Monday!
