What do you get when you add 1 Double Baby Shower plus 1 Mojo Monday Sketch? You get 2 Baby Cards!
Yes, yesterday I attended a double baby shower for two moms at our church. As you can see, one had a girl and the other a boy. I figured, why over-think it? (Which I ALWAYS DO!) Just use the same design for both cards.
Here is the Mojo Monday Sketch 242 -
The stamp set is Baby Bundle and the colors -
A different border punch was used on each as well as ribbon for the girl and a button for the boy. Tried to make them a bit unique.
Remember, there are just 4 more days to order from the 2012 Retiring Products List!
Hope you are having a great Memorial Day weekend.

Today's Keep It Simple Saturday (K.I.S.S.) project is a simple, but heartfelt THANK YOU to all of our military families who have sacrificed to give us the freedom we enjoy.
THANK YOU!
I pray you have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend and that you get a chance to do something simple and fun that you enjoy.
I get to spend time with friends this morning at a double baby shower, time with church family tomorrow at a BBQ and we will be hosting friends at our house on Monday. :o)
Keep It Simple! It's the little things and the people in your life that matter most!

Day 3 of our Stampin' Up! Disney World Trip was a quiet one. I think the jet lag, lack of sleep and heat got to us. But, I still have some fun photos to share!
These were our fun centerpieces that decorated our breakfast tables in the morning. What a fun and easy decoration for a birthday party!
We spent our morning in Epcot and visited the butterfly house.
Beautiful!
One too many times on the Mission Space ride sent us back to our room for naps. Bleh! After that, we headed to the Stampin' Up! Hospitality Room to spin the wheel. Here are some of the fabulous swaps on display.
This is just a small sampling of the beautiful swaps on display.
We finished our day by heading back to Epcot and watching the amazing firework show.
I have to say that this was the best firework show that I have seen. Lots and lots of them all going off at the same time. I love fireworks!
Now, these fireworks were pretty exciting but even more exciting is the NEW 2012-2013 Stampin' Up! Catalog! First shipments of FREE catalogs have been sent. Have you requested your FREE catalog?

Our first day of our Stampin' Up! Disney World trip, we visited Disney Hollywood Studios. In the muppet-themed area of the park, I saw this....
That cute awning needed to be a card. Right then I knew what one of my May club class projects would be! I told my sons not to let me forget!
So...
This is the Elmo Punch Art Card that my club members created last week. Isn't he fun?!
How to Make This Elmo Punch Art Card:
This inside is a panel of Basic Black to resemble the inside of the mouth. Of course, my son, Wyatt, mentioned that I forgot his tongue. He suggests that you add a Large Oval Punch of Real Red card stock for the tongue and move the greeting off to the side. Many of my club members did just that!
Would you like to attend a free class each month, learn new techniques and keep your purchases on a budget?
I'm filling up the next group and would love to add you!! Contact Me with any questions.
Happy Monday to you!
Edited to Add: Now that I look, because one of you asked, Elmo doesn't have a tongue! Just a black mouth inside. Same as Cookie Monster! So, I guess my card was OK!

Welcome to you weekend edition of Keep It Simple Saturday Sunday (K.I.S.S.)!
This week's Bright Bite Tuesday Trigger over at the Moxie Fab Blog was too much fun!
Just bright and simple! So...I had to play along!
Just a few scribbles of four Stampin' Write Markers: Daffodil Delight, Peach Parfait, Pear Pizzazz and Melon Mambo for color. The greeting comes from the Heard From The Heart stamp set - THAT IS RETIRING! I've used this set a ton!
The focal panel is popped with Stampin' Dimensionals and that is it! Simple!
I hope you have had a wonderful weekend and that you had time for something simple and fun.

The second day of our Stampin' Up! Disney World Trip started at the Magic Kingdom!
Stampin' Up! got us in early to see a private showing of the Monster, Inc. Laugh Floor Comedy Show. After that, we had the run of Main Street until the rest of the park opened.
Got to love getting a castle shot with nobody else in the picture!!
Disney always has the most beautiful gardens!
Yes, my husband and I are a little competitive.
Gotta love Donald!
We spent the afternoon at Blizzard Beach water park. Nothing like a 12 story water slide to send me into a panic. I mean a real panic! But, I did it!!
Of course, we had to finish our day by stopping by the Stampin' Up! Hospitality Room. Hunter and Wyatt were needing more candy.
Love these cute altered suitcases covered with Designer Series Paper.
Don't forget our daily Prize Wheel spin! Stampin' Up! Board Member and her husband watching me get way too serious about this. But, I won TWO prizes! New Product!! Woot!
Check out this beautiful pillow made with our Summer Smooches Designer Fabric!
And this fun pillow made with our Twitterpated Designer Fabric!
Now, the Designer Fabric on these two pillows isn't retiring, but four of our Designer Fabrics are retiring:
And all are just $2.99 for 3 Extra-Wide Fat Quarters!!
Our second day at Disney World was magical and I have lots more fun to share!
Happy Friday!!

On Monday, Krista Feaster, a wonderful woman and Icy Inker team member, was killed in an automobile accident.
*Downline members, Deb and Krista at our team Christmas Party 2011*
Krista brightened every room she entered and her energy was contagious! The world lost a little sparkle this week.
I am honored to have known her and had the pleasure of sharing her creativity with you over the last few years.
I recently shared this card with you that Krista had sent to me. Beautiful.
Thanks a Million Krista for sharing your joy and creativity!
You spread smiles wherever you went.
*Krista center back*
We are all honored to have called you friend and fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrator,
*Krista - back row, second from left*
And we all will miss you.
God Bless You Krista

Check out these Mother's Day projects that my sons, Hunter and Wyatt, created for me -
Wyatt created the "I Love U" card and Hunter made the treat box. Both gave me chocolate! Hmm....how did they know??
Wyatt printed out a photo of me and trimmed it to fit inside an Oval frame that he created with the Big Shot and the Designer Frames Textured Impressions Embossing Folders Set.
Wyatt used the cupcake image from the Got Treats stamp set to make his own greeting -
"Got Mother's Day"? LOL!
Hunter printed out a family photo to add to the front of his box and his greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set. Too cute! I love this Box #2 Die for the Big Shot and am so sad that it will be retiring at the end of this month! *sniff*

I was truly tickled with my sons' creations and their creativity. I am blessed for sure! I hope you enjoy them too.

Our family decided to start our Stampin' Up! Disney World Trip one day early. So, on Day 1, we went to Disney's Hollywood Studios -
Our first character sighting, outside the gates, were Daisy Duck and Minnie Mouse.
Mama duck even decided to bring her kids to Hollywood Studios too!
First day, first park - heading to our first ride - Hollywood Tower of Terror!
Front row terror!
I think they are related!
After a full day, we headed back to the hotel. I wanted to check in at the Stampin' Up! Hospitality Room.
I knew there would be some beautiful samples like this one! My boys were less than thrilled when I told them they had to go with me.
But, when Hunter and Wyatt discovered that the room with filled with apothecary jars of candy. They were excited to stop in each day!
They boys each received waterproof Stampin' Up! bags with Autograph Swatchbooks. For each character autograph they received, they got a prize. Each day I got to spin the Prize Wheel, Day 1 - I won a journal. Both the swatchbook and journal were created with My Digital Studio.
The lollipops are wrapped with our ribbon and have the Enchantment tag. These were handed out by the corporate staff along the Boardwalk that evening to all who passed by.
After the boys got their fill of candy, it was off to the pool. Here is Hunter on the waterslide.
And Wyatt's turn
Then back to the room where our first Pillow Gift was waiting. Isn't that the cutest bag?! And what was inside??
Disney snacks! Yes, my boys were happy.
Day 1 in Disney World was amazing! And there is lots more to come!
Happy Friday!

Now, to figure out a new work schedule! But, I'm blessed that I can adjust my hours.

Did you know that Cinco De Mayo is celebrated nationwide in the U.S. but only regionally in Mexico (state of Puebla)? In the U.S., we are celebrating Mexican heritage and pride. In Mexico, the holiday is called El Dia de la Batalla de Puebla (English: The Day of the Battle of Puebla) and the date is observed to commemorate the Mexican Army's unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. Source: Wikipedia
No matter where you are celebrating, you can add that personal touch with the products found in our Celebrando Creatividad catalog! An entire catalog featuring Stampin' Up! stamp sets in the Spanish language! I love the Spanish language.

Whether you are of Latin decent or having a fiesta sencilla (simple party), add that handmade touch with the products in Celebrando Creatividad.
