Many times when I see something I really like, I say "that's stinkin' cute". I must say it quite a bit around my downline because my quote is coming back to haunt me. At my downline meeting on Sunday, Autumn made this skunk for me. If you look closely, you will notice the different punches used to make it.

And, even better, it holds candy!

You have to admit, it is stinkin' cute! Thanks Autumn!!!

Here is today's equation: 125406 Twitterpated Designer Series Paper + 125603 Blossom Punch + 125470 Baby Prints Stamp Set + 119275 Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch = This scrapbook page. This was on display at Leadership. Even though the photograph isn't good, you can see this is a quick and simple layout for all the traditional scrapbookers to copy!

Happy St. Patrick's Day to all my Irish friends. Ever since I spent St. Patrick's Day in Ireland, I enjoy pretending I'm a wee bit Irish!
At my March downline meeting, Kathleen brought these yummies. She stamped the image from the 119114 Got Treats Stamp Set, punched them out with the 119876 Large Tag Punch and backed it with the 119854 1 3/4" Scallop Circle Punch. In between the punches is a cocktail toothpick. Good ol' 104430 Dimensionals holds everything together quite securely.
Kathleen made rainbow cupcakes in gold cupcake liners. She frosted the cookies and added yellow chunky gum and green sugar on top. I didn't realize the thought behind these details at my meeting. Probably because I couldn't cram them in my mouth fast enough. Here's the details: the pot of gold (gold cupcake liners & yellow chunky gum), green sugar (grass), and the end of the rainbow (rainbow cupcakes). Stamping and baking are all about the details! Thanks Kathleen!!!

Here are my two favorite samples from Leadership featuring the 125480 Bordering on Romance stamp set in the Occasions Mini Catalog. I just love the simplicity and layouts.

When I first saw the 125485 Rue Des Fleurs stamp set in the Occasions mini catalog, I burst out laughing. I liked the humorous images. And, I liked the antique/vintage look of the images. Here is a beautiful sample from Leadership.
