Royal Blog Tour Candy

First of all thank you for visiting my blog. I really appreciate everyone that took the time to participate in the Royal Blog Tour, but I especially appreciate those who took the time to leave such nice comments about my projects.

I didn't choose a stamp set for making fancy cards and gifts, but I rather choose a stamp set that was more me. No...not stinky....silly! LOL I wasn't sure if my projects would be as appreciated as those that were absolutely stunning. Thanks for making this simple girl feel like she was part of the big league! ♥

Now on to the good stuff-----

The Castle of Pun Fun

Welcome to my Castle--thank you for joining us on the Royal Blog Tour.
For this royal occasion, I have chosen the set, Pun Fun. It's a cute little set that has a little bit of everything making it versatile.

Now on to the Royal Projects......

My first project is a card and nugget tin set using the little skunk and the Play Date dsp. This is my favorite stamp in the sets. I'm partial to skunks. I think it was growing up watching Looney Tunes w/ Pepe LePew.

It's amazing how that little stem holds up that great big flower on the card isn't it?! I couldn't help myself. The bigger the flower the better.

My second project is for those who are feeling a little under the weather. I made a Soup Caddy and matching card. Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup is the cold/flu food at our house. Everyone loves it and when you aren't feeling well and your nose is stuffy--it just hits the spot.

The little whale looks so happy colored in Pear Pizzazz. I love the Celebrations dsp. Isn't it bright?!

My Last Project is a little 'thank ewe'. I made a box just big enough for a bottle of Bath & Body Works Handsoap. My favorite scent--Fresh Market Apple. Yum! I want to give it so someone that deserves a big 'Thank Ewe!" from a cute little lamb.

Here's the top of the box... A little satin bow to finish it off.

Royal Blog Tour

Welcome to my humble castle. I'm so excited to to show you my projects and hope you enjoy them 'royally' . Please don't leave without entering your name and email address for my Royal Blog Candy. Enjoy the Tour!! :)

All my projects on this tour will feature the Thoughts and Prayers stamp set.

This first project uses the Thoughts and Prayers images from Stampin' Up! My Digital Studio. I never thought in a million years that I would enjoy making digital cards, but they are so quick to make and so easy to share.

One of the great things about using a digital program, I can sew much straighter with MDS than I can in real life! Plus by the time I remember to send the Get Well Card using snail mail, the recipient is already well. With My Digital Studio technology is grand! LOL




My second project is a little deskset. I love to have a pretty little set on my desk so I can drop a quick note to someone that needs a some encouragement and support. Don't these colors scream spring?
