Every Day is a Blessing

Every day is a big blessing

Yesterday as I meditated in the Word I realized we are called to celebrate each day, every blessing, every meal, every person in our lives….every moment.

Reading the Word refreshes me indeed. 

Celebrate!

This beautiful card is one of my many celebrate minutes.

I got it in the mail from my friend Pam from Stampin in the Sun….I gotta say, it brighten my day indeed.

This gorgeous butterfly is the one from Watercolor Wings,

Butterfly Basics and Bold Butterflies Framelits

Absolutely beautiful and in my favorite colors. Orange, yes!

Thanks Pam….I celebrate your friendship!

God is good indeed. 

If you want to celebrate friendship and have an absolutely awesome creative time, join me in my first Stamp a Blessing Stampin' Retreat coming

All Boxed Up Kit by Stampin'Up!

Last week one of my fabulous ladies closed a catalog party!

That is a party were she shared catalogs and samples of beautiful cards with her crafty friends, who in turn placed orders making her the hostess and rewards recipient.

I met with her a couple of weeks later and gave her some goodies to thank her friends and her. Check them below.

I decided to use my All Boxed Up kit and Happy Notes stamp set.

This is the All Boxed Up kit. I filled them with chocolate and stamped with another choice stamp. The Happy Notes below.

I used my coordinating Lots of Labels framelits  and cut some Watermelon Wonder and Pool Party CS.

For this card I so LOVED adding those golden accents. 

The metallic doilies are great 

and then those cute gold stickers came with the All Boxed Up kit. 

Cccute!

Oh…almost forget! Yes….did you see the corners??

Were made with the new Curvy Corner Punch!

Check it below…

Then for my hostess I embellished a little notepad for her purse. So grateful! Love making little things like these for my ladies.

What do you think of this cute kit?

I am loving each and every kit in the catalog!

Would you like to try them all…then join my class on October 16th

This class will be offered during STAMPING RETREAT! 

at 10 am. Location will be made known to those who sign. 

Lewisburg, PA

For those only attending separate class this class will be offered at 10AM!

Garden In Bloom: Gift for a friend

Sometimes the little details are very important.

That is why I sent my sweet friend Pam this card and bookmark.

It helps that I was truly inspired with this beautiful set. :)

Don't you love those metallic doilies. My fave!

The stamp set Garden in Bloom was my first pick from Stampin'Up! Newest Catalog.

You can see the PDF on the right side-bar today. 

Lost Lagoon (blue) and Very vanilla (cream) 

are the colors of choice.

To make this gift even better I made her a bookmark with the 

Banner Triple Punch. Love it!

Ooh, did you see that Fluttering Embossing Folder. :D

I used the Gold Glitz Dazzling Details for the center of the card. Paper can be so helpful to send a message.

Send a message full of love. 

Use your stamps and Cardstock. Just perfect!

Creative Blessings!

Scrap Monday Week #6: Birthday Wishes

A few weeks ago I shared different ideas on how to use scraps of paper.

Here is one more idea. 

I made birthday card for a friend. I found this pretty paper. 

I stamped A Whole lot of Lovely (Stampin'Reward Set) in some Baja Breeze (retired Cardstock).

I then punch with my 2" Circle Punch. 

I had a few 6 x 6 sheets f pretty retired paper.

I also made a bookmark for my friend. Gotta love these!

You can see my tutorial to make these HERE! 

Love sharing little projects with you to spark your imagination with what you already have!

Get those pretty papers out!

Kind Koala Hugs!

Why I didn't get this Kool Koala before now?

I have nO IDEA! 

But I truly needed a few cards to send to a few friends this week, and this stamp helped me perfectly.

Plus is sweet!

Rich Razzleberry and Smokey Slate are my colors. Neutral: Whisper White.

I love it so much I made a few and the best is I ACTUALLY mailed them. Yay! That's the joy of stamping…blessing others!

I've been meaning to do this for a long time. 

I am doing it now and I am happy for that.

Here I used Crumb Cake and Mossy Meadow.

Can you see the rhinestone?

Cute!!

Have a blessed day my friends,

Jessica Urrutia

Yard Sale means Organizeeee!

Hello my dear friends,

Here getting ready for a wonderful time of Yard Sale!!

You know what I like the most about Yard Sales?

That I get to meet many neighbors I don't see in a regular basis. 

Hoping this one is  NOT the exception. 

Check out how nice my spot is looking!

My cabinet to the left has all my Big Shot goodies and also some baskets I use frequently during my classes (they hold my calculators, pens and bags). 

Oh, and my Project Life card sets. 

Love that I can see them nicely!

I re-organized my Cardstock once more. 

As you see I like leaving my neutrals (which I use all the time) and In-Colors 

visible. No folders for those. I like to see and reach them easily.

My top basket holds everything related to envelopes and mailing. 

My other basket holds all retired ribbons. :) Is hard to let go!

This time I simply wrote the color names on the top so I could identify quickly.

It works great!

One of my two very messy drawers. Now looking awesome.

I placed everything related to heat  embossing, coloring and spraying here.

My other drawer has sponges, notepads and post-it notes, 

my brayer and a couple more things.

Stamp Set: Guy Greetings

I made this notecard for a gift I made this week. Will be showing you the whole thing as soon I actually give it. I don't want to spoil the surprise. I am so happy to give.

Stamp set: For All Things

And I made this card to send to the brother of one of my best friends. 

It is challenging to make masculine cards. I think these passed the test. 

The inside.

I added a bit of ink to the envelope too. Sweet!
