We saw this purse on Pinterst and had to make them. A lovely Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, Deb Lehigh shared a tutorial link from Demonstrator, Chiaki Haverstick with us. Thank you so much Deb! Click here to see Chiaki's tutorial.

Sunshine Trio Magnificent Monday Guest on the Pink Paper Bakery Blog!
Craft Haven Retreats - Sunshine Trio Magnificent Monday Guest on the Pink Paper Bakery Blog!
I'm so honored to be today's Magnificent Monday guest on the PinkPaper Bakery blog! Thank you, Deena for inviting me to share some of my
creations with your readers.
For today's cards, Sunshine Trio, my inspiration came from my favorite stamp from the Single Assortment # 4 - Sunshine! You Are My Sunshine was always a favorite bedtime song when my kids were young, and now I sing it to my grandchildren. So when Stampin' Up! released this new single stamp, I knew I just had to have it! I choose one of my favorite color combinations to work with, Whisper White, Basic Grey and Daffodil Delight. So sunny and cheerful, perfect for this set of cards!

The CASE of Masculine Valentines Featuring Fan Fair DSP
Craft Haven Retreats - The CASE of Masculine Valentines Featuring Fan Fair DSP
We wanted to create a few Valentines with a masculine flair! Nanci and I had both pinned this awesome card on Pinterest by Rita Wright and I really wanted to make it (click here to see her original card!).
I love Pinterest, you can always find the cards you love and where your inspiration came from! :) We also had seen a quilted heart card that we both loved, so I made one to coordinate with our macho valentine.
Imagine my surprise when I discovered that this card was also inspired by Rita Wright (click here to see her original card)! Thanks Rita for your inspiration! Both cards use Nearly Navy, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake and Naturuals Ivory cards stock in addition to Fan Fair DSP. Follow us on Pinterest - just click on our Follow Me on Pinterest buttons! There they are - those buttons just to the right of this paragraph! LOL!
Check out this new Sent with Love promotion from Stampin' Up! It's only available through April 30, 2013. Click on the image to order yours today! :)
Happy Stampin'!
