Mine and Hers…
I don't talk about my kids on here (usually) unless it involves stamping. Well, this time it does! My now 7 year old loves to stamp – has since she could say the word "stamping" and that was probably 18 months! LOL So every now and then she takes a packet that I have leftover of precut materials. Sometimes she attempts to copy my card exactly, sometimes she's goes totally on her own. Okay, she mostly goes totally on her own! I wanted to show you her latest creation…
I wonder if you'll be able to tell who made which one!
Can you tell which one she made?
If not, here's hers…
And here's mine…
My version is a pretty close CASE to a card I think I saw on our Stampin' Up! demonstrator homepage from a while ago. It uses the Breast Cancer Stamp set "Strength and Hope" and "Vintage Vogue" stamp set.
Other supplies used are:
Elegant Eggplant ink and CS
Crumb Cake ink and CS
Very Vanilla CS and ribbon
Self adhesive halfback pearls
Smooch Illuminate Top Coat
Not too shabby for 7 years old, huh?! 
Later I'll show you another one of her creations!
Some general tags…
So I wanted to play with the New Cookie Press stamps a week and a half ago so I made some sugar cookies and stamped away! They looked really cute! Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of the cookies!
But I did get a picture of the tags my soon to be 7 year old daughter created to go along with the tags! She went through my stamp stash and found an old Sale A Bration set (Yummy) and then added a snowflake. I cut the card stock and added a rhinestone. I think we make a great team!
Don't you love that Cherry Cobbler ribbon? It's almost as yummy as the cookies and candy included in the treat bag!

On this card we added a little Smooch Illuminate Top Coat to make the snowflakes stand out even more.
A little bling anyone?
I wish I could take full credit for this cutie patootie but I cannot. I found him on our Demonstrator Web site! Here the snowflakes are the background, not the main focus.
And I don't know if you can see it but the snowflakes here were embossed on Shimmery White card stock. So pretty! In case you can see it better here's a closeup. And a few pearls is just enough to finish these snowflakes.
Poinsettias and Newspapers?
i just love this technique – stamping on your designer series paper! I then colored in the poinsettia petals with a belnder pen and Cherry Cobbler ink. It's a pretty simple card – especially if you take away the watercoloring portion.
And who doesn't love Cherry Cobbler and Crumb Cake together??
