Throwback Thursday: Bag in a Box

I remember when this was all the rage.  Everyone was making one of these on their blogs.  It is still so cute and you can definitely make this now using current Stampin' Up! DSP.  I actually just gave this to a friend for a small birthday surprise and I filled it with mini chocolate bars... of course.

Stamping with Scraps: Watercolor Wonder

This card was inspired by a card I saw in Stampin' Success magazine and I had these little scraps laying around.  Simple and nice!

Technique Tuesday: Mother of Pearl

This is the Mother of Pearl technique.  Not really one of my favorite techniques, but it's definitely cool and maybe it would look different with a more muted color palette.
