Triore Hot Air Ballon

Working on this week's demonstrator swap for Stampin' Up!. We needed to use something from the new Holiday Mini Catalog, so I combined my favorite paper technique (Triore) with the Sweet Centers stamp set. If you would like to know about either the technique or the Holiday Mini - just visit my website www.patsyrinella.stampinup.net

Holly Wood

This is for Holly Wood, my friend Annie's dog. She stands almost as tall as me. Yesterday I walked into Annie's classroom and she was busy so I went to say hi to Holly and she was so excited to see me that she jumped up on me and stood on her back legs. Obviously she is a standard poodle, but boy of boy is she tall.

Dora the Explorer

My beautiful granddaughter, Taylor, is turning 3 in 3 weeks. She is having a Dora the Explorer birthday party. I've designed this one to go onto the gift bags for her friends. I've used the new Stampin' Up! exclusive Build a Bear die cuts and Stampin' Up! punches to create Dora. Let me know what you think.

Butterfly girl

I've been cruisin' the net and found this cutie. I think I will use this design for the cards for my future daughter in laws overnight bridal shower. It's a spa theme. The original idea came from a fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator named Ellen Kemper.

Getting ready for Christmas. The ornament punch is used for this elf's head and hat. I also used Stampin' Up!'s Build A Bear Sizzix dies to create the body and clothes for the elf.
